Kirby vs Pikachu: 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.
Pikachu
“The Mouse Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 1′4″ (40 cm), 13 lb (6 kg)
Electric-type Pokémon and the face of the franchise. Stores electricity in its red cheeks and releases it as lightning. Fighting well below any recognised weight class.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Pikachu by Decision. Pikachu wins by decision. Being 20 cm taller and 4 kg heavier, he pokes away from the outside for nine minutes, while Kirby, far tougher than he looks, keeps bouncing back up and refuses to be stopped. The scorecards do the work.
Fair fight? Shrink the ring to phone-booth size so Pikachu can't stay on the outside and has to trade punches with Kirby, who is far tougher than he looks.
