This is going to be another close loss for Kiva. I’d say that his physical stats are all fairly close to Samus. They’re both very fast as well as very strong. This really comes down to the fact that I consider Samus to be a little faster than Kiva and that I believe her Zero Laser would take him down for the count. Things look troubling, but I’m sure that Kiva can find his way back to the winner’s circle! Samus wins.

first Samus defeats the Master Chief, now she defeats Kiva.
Kiva’s energy blasts are way too powerful for Samus. I do think Samus is one of the most powerful in the Nintendo universe. But Kiva could also use his rider kick to stack up damage. And further more, Kiva could just speed blitz Samus. She has good speed, but to me it’s not enough. keep up with the great fights!
I know, it’s been a rough patch of fights for Kiva lately, although I’m confident that he should be able to bounce at some point. Never count this warrior out of a fight right? It’s just that I think Samus should be the one doing the speed blitzing here and in terms of hand to hand combat, she likely holds the edge as well.
