Samus Aran vs Sonic: 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.
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.
Sonic
“The Hedgehog” · Sega · 1991 · 3′3″ (100 cm), 77 lb (35 kg)
Sega’s blue hedgehog, running at the speed of sound since 1991. Attacks by curling into a spiky ball. Short temper, shorter attention span.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Samus by TKO. Sonic sprints laps around the ring for a round, gets bored, then charges in and bounces off Samus's forehead like a squeaky toy. She was raised by the Chozo and has patience to spare. By round two he's on the canvas, and the referee waves it off.
Fair fight? Make it a race: three rounds of ring laps decided on the scorecards, with Samus's boots swapped for roller skates. Or give Sonic a chili dog break every round.
