Samus Aran vs Zangief: 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.
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)
Zangief by TKO. Zangief, 23 cm taller and 26 kg heavier, shrugs off Samus's jabs with a chin that has met actual bears, and dances back to his corner between rounds. Late in round two a right hand lands, and the referee stops it. Samus's suit debate is settled.
Fair fight? Weigh Zangief in at 90 kg, level with Samus's listed weight, suit or no suit, so the fans can finally argue about something else.
