Who Can‘t Kirby Beat? A Passionate Gamer‘s Insights
As a hardcore Nintendo fan, I love Kirby‘s adorable and powerful heroics. But when passionately debating who would win in hypothetical cross-universe battles between video game icons, even I must admit some foes seem beyond Kirby‘s reach.
After digging into extensive gameplay analysis, lore, power scaling calculations, and more across these characters, the following reality-benders and god-slayers plausibly outmatch our puffball pal:
Divine Temptress Bayonetta
- With timeline-transcending abilities like Witch Time letting her bend seconds into minutes, Bayonetta boasts reflexes and perception Kirby can scarcely comprehend
- By summoning entities like Madama Butterfly, she wields literal manifestations of chaos and darkness – soul-based attacks Kirby seemingly has no counter to
- In terms of quantifiable power, her physical strength and speed feats either edge out or outright blitz Kirby’s shown capabilities
As much as it pains me to say, Bayonetta‘s deeper mastery of close-quarters techniques combined with broken magic hax abilities give my dude Kirby an uphill battle. Her penchant to inflict soul-based torture attacks only twists the knife deeper.
Asura – Embodiment of Wrath
- After being powered by over 12,000 years of bloodlust and combat, Asura makes Kirby‘s few decades of experience seem infantile
- His exhibited power to casually trade blows with planetoid-dwarfing foes demonstrates his physical might towers leagues above most Kirby villains
- Even copying Asura‘s strength can‘t offset his skill advantage given millennia battling cosmic entities
In terms of sheer stats and skills, Asura‘s combat résumé putting multiple planet-busting punches under his belt solidly outweighs Kirby‘s more inconsistent power scaling. And with strange Mantra energies that may counter Kirby’s absorption, this demigod remains a mismatch.
Kratos – The New God of War
- Through the Gates of Olympus he may stride, but Kratos still boasts the rage and brute force to rout legendary icon after icon
- His arsenal matches Kirby‘s versatility, countering Copy Abilities via time manipulation, soul-draining blades, sealing crystals and more
- While stamina could be Kirby‘s one advantage, Kratos‘ iron willpower to battle nonstop for months evens the playing field
I don‘t doubt Kirby could take Kratos‘ best shots and bounce back strong. But the God of War himself has toppled too many pantheons and warred against reality itself to be outdone here.
Saitama – The One Punch Man
- Saitama‘s peak punching force is calculated to exceed half the gravitational binding energy required to destroy Jupiter – dwarfing most Kirby opponents
- He kept pace with and surpassed a foe moving faster than light in Boros
- In addition to raw power, Saitama‘s more technical fighting style outdoes Kirby’s straightforward moveset
Sure, Kirby may be able to copy Saitama‘s stats – but the Caped Baldy didn‘t casually one-shot every mighty foe in his verse by strength alone. His skill and speed cement his clear advantage.
Zeno – The Omni-King
- As a nigh-omnipotent embodiment of reality itself, Zeno exists infinitely beyond any mere spiritual or physical plane Kirby can interact with
- His ability to erase multiple universe-sized realms in an instant would instantly bypass any finite durability Kirby has shown
- Hax erasure powers enabling him to wipe even abstract entities from existence make this a hopelessly one-sided fight
Before the king of all reality itself, even Kirby‘s star-bestowed infinity power proves paltry. Against Dragon Ball‘s towering supreme being, Kirby hitting Zeno is as likely as ants harming gods.
So there you have it – the select few who I believe give Kirby a run for his infinite money in cross-universe fantasy showdowns! While our puffball pal can hang with the best, he can‘t always inhale his problems away against broken enough reality-benders. But that won’t stop him from trying – and that plucky attitude is why we love Kirby!
