Arguments for Pyramid Head:
  • he is a walking personification of guilt and destruction
  • he is nigh invulnerable
  • he has a massive knife that can cut through lots of durable things


Arguments for DK:
  • does he have any sort of guilt Pyramid Head can capitalize on? Is he free from the weight of sin?
  • DK probably listens to Fear Factory from DKC1, and that song is spookier than Pyramid Head
  • if DK shoots Pyramid Head, it's gonna hurt, but it might actually hurt DK instead through weird psychological nonsense


Last topic DK tried to defeat Air Man, but the results were too close to call. (This is my catch-all for when the tally is a fewer than three vote margin, since a lot of the votes in these topics aren't necessarily super clear. Which is fine - it's more about the discussion.) Today...I don't know if this matchup is actually interesting, but I thought it was funny at least. Can DK handle the most infamous villain from the Silent Hill franchise?

Is there any evidence of gorillas being able to harbor guilt? Since Pyramid Head is reliant on the mind of its host, I would imagine the Pyramid Head DK has would be significantly weaker than the one we saw with James.

Does Donkey Kong possess enough of a brain for Pyramid Head to even be able to mess with him?

DK has no guilt. He's a shameless ape.

DK wins

I don't know anything about Pyramid Head, but if his power is dependent on the guilt of his opponent, then I'd say DK has this in the bag.

Is it the sins themselves or just the guilt? Because Cranky clearly has no guilt over what he did in his younger days...!

Yeah. If he has to feel guilt, Donkey clearly doesn't

If he just has to do bad things, he does that a lot

Depends which DK we're talking about.

The tiki thing from DKCR tried to hypnotize DK and Diddy--both were too stupid to make any sense of it. This DK has no capacity for higher thinking, therefore has no regret and nothing to be afraid of. All that he knows is banana, and banana is good.

THIS Donkey Kong on the other hand

is completely fucked.

How does Pyramid Head take damage and get defeated? I'm not familiar enough with him.

Glad folks are enjoying this topic series so much!

This actually came about when NFUN's second King of Fighters contest didn't materialize. I thought it might be fun to do something a little goofier, with fewer concrete rules. I was going to wait and see if there was interest after the first topic against Psycho Mantis, but everybody's clamoring for Kong!

James technically just uses conventional means, but as PH is more a symbolic entity James could only defeat him by confronting his guilt.

Cartoon Donkey Kong is such a weird departure from everything else Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong and Mario have made peace with each other, so I don't think Pyramid Head gets to exploit any guilt here.

Things that Donkey Kong has shown guilt for:

-Being a misogynist toward Dixie Kong and saying she couldn't be a hero and find the Lost World because she was a girl (forgiven after an apology).
-That one time he hit Diddy really hard (Diddy bit his finger in retaliation, immediately forgiven)
-Oversleeping, causing Diddy to get captured by the Kremlings (corrected like 30 seconds later, forgiven)
-Being hypnotized by Mario's corporate marketing into taking over a toy factory and kidnapping his ex girlfriend (forgiven to the point where Pauline and DK are friends who hold surprise parties for Mario now)
-Not saving a banana from being crushed and made into a tiki (unforgiven, because the banana is dead)

So unless that one banana from DKCR is replacing the Giant's Knife, I think DK's good.

If Pyramid Head was as strong as in Silent Hill 2 I'd say there's no way DK wins, but PH's strength comes his victim's guilt and DK has never shown himself capable of that level of guilt. Also since he has made amends to basically everyone he has wronged he really has no guilt and thus PH no power.
