Sonic 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.
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.
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)
Sonic by DQ. Sonic is 81 kg lighter, but Zangief can't catch him, and after two rounds of chasing, bear-wrestling instinct takes over. He grabs the hedgehog for a piledriver, and the referee disqualifies him. Sonic wins by DQ, having barely been touched.
Fair fight? Shrink the ring to the size of a phone booth so Sonic has nowhere to run, and Zangief can simply punch him.
