Round pink hero of Dream Land who inhales enemies and copies their powers. Officially about 20 cm tall, and far tougher than he looks.
Zangief
“The Red Cyclone” · Street Fighter · 1991 · 7′0″ (213 cm), 256 lb (116 kg)
Russian pro wrestler who trains by wrestling bears in the Siberian snow. Loves his country, his muscles and the Spinning Piledriver.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Kirby by DQ. Zangief, 193 cm taller, spends round one stooping after a 20 cm target, then scoops Kirby up for a spinning piledriver. That's a foul, and the referee disqualifies him. Kirby bounces off the canvas, floats up, and wins without throwing a punch.
Fair fight? Make Zangief fight on his knees, so he can't lift Kirby off the canvas for a piledriver, and give the round-ending bell a dance break so he has something legal to do.
