At the same time it wasn't implied that Kong even survived past KKvsG, for all we know he could've died from his radiation burns after returning to his island. I would like to assume that Godzilla was extra ugly in SoG because of the nuke in GvsTSM irradiating him again. Kong wasn't much more intelligent than 60s Showa G, after all he did "talk" with Rodan & Mothra, and by the 70s Godzilla shows far more intellect than Kong. King Kong is nowhere near as agile as Godzilla by the time he fought Hedorah, he was capable of moving at hundreds of meters a second, and only got quicker once he fought Megalon.
Also, Kong lacks the ability to catch Hedorah in the air like Godzilla did, meaning hedorah could play keep away & let his beams/sulfuric acid mist kill Kong.I highly doubt the humans strategy would've worked, King Kong's lightning powers didn't last nearly as long as the electrodes would require to kill Hedorah, so if Hedorah flew away once Kong threw a rock after his powers wear off, he wouldn't be able to stop Hedorah from escaping & regenerating until he was ready to murder Kong.
There is definitely more proof to suggest Kong survived. For one Toho even stated that Kong was the victor. Two at no point in the final fight did he look to suffer from radiation poisoning even being exposed to it earlier in their first fight nor is it ever suggested. I also think you're giving the GvSM nuke too much merit. I see it nothing more then a plot device to convey an urgency to get off the island. SoG suit is just redesigned to portray a more friendly father figure Godzilla. I still stand by my opinion Kong is quicker and more agile, we've seen him run. We've seen him tumble roll. I also stand by my opinion he is more intelligent. Using his surroundings, throwing rocks, hiding, trees down the throat etc. Also even when Kong is charged it's not just his electric charge power that is attained but his overall strength is boosted, evident by swinging Godzilla by his tail and judo flipping him like a rag doll. When Kong was charged Godzilla was on the defensive completely. Wether it be a lightning storm or human created a charged Kong will emerge the victor. Acid mist won't kill him just like it didn't kill Godzilla. His crimson beam may slow Kong down but it won't kill him and Hedorah won't just spam acid mist and crimson beams. And like you suggested if Hedorah flees and reconstitutes this is just more time for Kong to heal and the humans to develop better tech to aid Kong and destroy Hedorah as they just witnessed it.
You are vastly underestimating Showa Godzilla, have you even watched the Showa movies? he used rocks and trees against most of the foes he faced until MechaGodzilla( Ghidorah, Ebirah, Hedorah, and Gigan have all been attacked w/ rocks and trees). Showa G is far more agile, during ToMG when the aliens look at the "Super Geiger Counter" they show a white dot that is Godzilla. Said dot is moving at close to 6 km/sec when comparing the map they used to a real map of the same area, even then, his fights with Megalon & during Zone Fighter have Goji moving at speeds far surpassing anything Showa Kong has demonstrated.
There is no way in hell that the same King Kong who slammed his face into a rock, is nearly as intelligent as the Godzilla who not only TALKED to Rodan, Mothra, and later Anguirus, but understood the purpose of the electrodes in GvsH and constantly improvised new strategies against his foes. When Godzilla realized that he would need something to gain the upper hand to defeat MechaGodzilla, he likely remembered the lightning that powered him up in 66 and somehow figured out that magnetism might help him.
Kong will not survive the fight with Hedorah, the lightning powers won't last long enough to kill Hedorah, and once he realizes that Kong can't do shit to him long range, he will just do what he did to Godzilla for most of the beginning of his fight, attack with his flying form and eye beams so Kong can't touch him.
Humanity would not be able to develop another weapon to use on Hedorah in time, why do you think they were so desperate to use the electrodes in the first place? If Hedorah leaves then he will not fall for the same tricks as before & will likely evolve into a new, more powerful form, or simply reproduce until japan (and the world) are overrun with Hedorahs.
Who's to say they would get Kong a lightning storm in time? by the time they make one/let one appear Kong might already be dissolved down to the bone!
