Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
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.
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)
Snake by TKO. Pikachu's Quick Attack gets a few glancing shots in, but Snake is 69 kg heavier and trained in close-quarters combat. He catches the 40 cm target mid-dash, and after one solid combination the referee waves it off. Otacon sulks on the Codec.
Fair fight? Make it a cardboard-box hide-and-seek bout: Snake must stay inside a box for round one. Or shrink him to Pikachu's size, and hand Otacon the corner-man job.
