Kirby vs Machamp: who would win in a fist fight?
Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Kirby
“The Pink Puffball” · Nintendo · 1992 · 0′8″ (20 cm), about 4 lb (2 kg)
Round pink hero of Dream Land who inhales enemies and copies their powers. Officially about 20 cm tall, and far tougher than he looks.
Machamp
“The Superpower Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 5′3″ (160 cm), 287 lb (130 kg)
Fighting-type Pokémon with four muscular arms. Its punches can send an opponent clear over the horizon, but anything delicate gets its arms tangled.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by Decision. Kirby ties on his Fighter headband and bobs around the ring like a pink balloon, far too tough to be stopped. Machamp's four arms keep tangling as he chases a target this small, but he lands enough to take every round. Machamp wins on the scorecards.
Fair fight? Tie two of Machamp's arms behind his back, so it's a two-fisted fight, and let Kirby stand on a box so their punches finally meet somewhere in the middle.
