The background:

    In a strange coincidence, it seem Nintendo has made two fully developed mascots that can simply eat anything it their path. On one side we have Yoshi, the green Dino. He can eat enemies and convert them into useful skills or eggs to throw, or he can eat berries to hatch item eggs. Then there's Kirby, who can eat and mimic any enemy he faces. In SSB, both characters have other similar moves, such as the butt stomp (Yoshi) and rock transformation (Kirby). To make sure that this is a test of suck-up skill, there will be no items allowed in this fight. This should be interesting...Let the carnage begin!!!

    The match starts out with both battlers exchanging quick kicks, Y10 K18.Yoshi then swallows Kirby and throws an exploding egg at him while he's trapped, followed by three jumping kicks to Kirby once he gets out,Y18 K62.Kirby comes back with two spin kicks and a slide kick while Yoshi gets off one huge headbutt,Y51 K96.Yoshi kicks Kirby again, but Kirby swallows Yoshi, spits him out, then swallows him again. Kirby now has Yoshi's tongue ability,Y70 K116. Yoshi, obviously mad at being swallowed, charges in with a quick flurry of attacks; jump kick, swallow, eat and spit, and a head-butt, which sends Kirby over the edge.Y70D0 K0D1

    Kirby comes back and gets Yoshi's ability again, then kicks him, while Yoshi returns with his own kick,Y92 K16.Kirby then hits Yoshi with a final cutter and another kick, while Yoshi sends back a kick, then spits Kirby away.Y101 K50.Yoshi again gets off a quick volley of damaging attacks, throwing an egg, a ground kick, and then a very damaging jumping flutter kick. Kirby answers this with three big kicks to Yoshi, the last one almost sending him over the edge, Y141NDK131. After an exchange of kicks, Yoshi throws an egg that sends Kirby out of the arena.Y147D0 K0D2

    As soon as Kirby returns, a spinning kick and a slide kick sends Yoshi flying.Y0D1K0D2

    Yoshi returns as the combatants exchange a few small kicks. Yoshi swallows Kirby, but when he gets out, Kirby answer with a rock smash,Y56ND K19.Kirby then manages to swallow Yoshi and kick him four times, while Yoshi manages to throw an egg at Kirby, Y83K34. Kirby, wanting to finish Yoshi off, goes in with a spinning kick, a kick, and a jump kick, but Yoshi hangs on, and does some damage too, Y123NDK73. Yoshi then gets off a head-butt, which enrages Kirby further, and two kicks from the pink puff send the green Dino flying.Y0D2 K86D2

    Kirby thinks he's got it made now, so he taunts while Yoshi is coming back. The dinosaur takes advantage of this by doing a butt smash which promptly kills Kirby.Y0D2K0D3

This games winner is: Yoshi!

What did you think of the match?

  1. Will a dinosaur always beat a puffball?
  2. Or was Kirby limited by lack of abilities to steal?
  3. Are you just mad that so far only one Mario character has lost?
