Kirby has challenged Tira & Knuckles to a fight! Location of the fight: Angel Island Zone - The tropical jungle from Sonic the Hedgehog 3, before it is set alight. No enemies are present. Attackers will start at the starting point, while defenders will begin at the boss arena. Which side will win?

Guidelines

- The fight will occur in real-time (like an FMV sequence). Gameplay mechanics are less important than how the characters would function in a real-time environment.
- The members of each team are ideal teammates capable of a pre-selected plan of battle.
- "Broken" refers to a lot of things, including insta-death, auto-effects, a variety of status effects (e.g., Imp, Silence, Stop, *not* Poison), and revival. Unless stated otherwise, nobody has them, though do use your own discretion.
- There may be SPOILERS from all of the games the characters are from.

Kirby is as seen in the Kirby Super Star and Smash series. He has full use of his Smash Brothers Moveset along with the moves from his Bomb, Sword and Ninja forms. (He has also inhaled Liquid Snake and Tira, gaining a set of moves fitting each). He cannot inhale enemy fighters nor create helpers from his abilities during the match, but can inhale anything else and will not lose access to his forms due to taking damage. He is piloting Metal Gear REX as seen in the boss fight in Metal Gear Solid (Cockpit closed phase). He will walk Metal Gear REX in from the nearest convenient location on his team's side. He may not leave REX and if it goes down, it can be assumed Kirby has gone down with it. He has been possessed THROUGH THIS ARM by Liquid Snake and will have the personality, knowledge, and memories of Liquid, but otherwise be identical to the original mercenary.

~VS~

Knuckles is as he appears in the Sonic games, an echidna who can glide along with his trademark strength, punching, and digging abilities. He has all the knowledge and experience that comes from starring in Metal Gear Solid, and will come to battle piloting Metal Gear REX as seen during the Metal Gear REX boss fight in Metal Gear Solid (Cockpit closed phase). The Pumpkin Hill theme from Sonic Adventure 2 will play throughout the terrain until Knuckles dies, with Knuckles rapping along.

Tira is as she appears in Soul Calibur V, with access to all her moves, although she must charge her Critical Edge/Brave Edge moves before using them. She will swap loyalties 30s after the teams meet, and will continue to swap loyalties every 30s. Neither team will initially be aware of this. Kirby will masquerade as Tira's mentor, and can keep in contact with her during the fight over codec until the teams meet in battle for the first time, at which point Kirby will enter a gleeful monologue about how he's misled her. She will be generally none the wiser to the deception, and will genuinely believe she is being given helpful advice from a reliable source, although she still won't do anything obviously incorrect, nonsensical, or out of character just because Kirby says so.

Shine on, you crazy diamond.
