Samus Aran vs Yoshi: 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.
Yoshi
“T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas” · Nintendo · 1990 · about 5′3″ (160 cm), about 132 lb (60 kg)
Friendly green dinosaur and Mario’s loyal ride since Super Mario World. Swallows enemies whole with a long tongue and turns them into eggs. Nintendo has never published his measurements.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Samus by TKO. Yoshi flutter-jumps around the ring like a sugar-high toddler, but Samus is 30 kg heavier and 30 cm taller. His ground-pound is a foul, and his egg-swallow is an unpaid loan. In round two, a clean right lands and the referee waves it off.
Fair fight? Give Yoshi his saddle-wearing rider in his corner as a tag partner, or make Samus fight in a Morph Ball-sized ring so nobody has room to flutter.
