Kirby vs Samus Aran: 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.
Samus Aran
“The Hunter” · Metroid · 1986 · 6′3″ (190 cm), 198 lb (90 kg)
Galactic bounty hunter raised by the bird-like Chozo, who wipes out Metroids for a living. Nintendo lists 190 cm and 90 kg; fans still argue whether that includes the Power Suit.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Samus by TKO. Kirby puffs up, floats to chin height and lands some brave little jabs. But Samus is 88 kg heavier, and one stooping right hand settles it. In round two the referee stops the fight to protect the small pink circle.
Fair fight? Make Samus fight on her knees, so her chin is within reach of a puffed-up Kirby and she can't accidentally stomp him.
