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.
Solid Snake
“Iroquois Pliskin” · Metal Gear · 1987 · 6′0″ (182 cm), 165 lb (75 kg)
Legendary special-forces operative and a clone of the soldier Big Boss. Expert in close-quarters combat, infiltration and hiding in cardboard boxes.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Kirby by DQ. Kirby wins by DQ. Snake, 162 cm taller, spends round one punching downward at a 20 cm puffball, then his close-quarters training takes over. He hurls Kirby across the ring, the referee disqualifies him, and Otacon can only fret over the Codec.
Fair fight? Make Snake fight on his knees so his punches meet Kirby at eye level, with a referee who has already warned him that his signature close-quarters moves are fouls.
