KK vs A2s is a lopsided race — only one of A2s's cards is an overcard to the pair. KK wins 67.5%, A2s wins 32.0%, and 0.5% of boards chop. With roughly half the outs of a true two-overcard flip, A2s is a clear 2.1-to-1 dog that usually needs to pair its live card (or find a sneaky straight/two-pair runout) to win.
Think in variance terms: 67.8% equity means KK loses this all-in nearly 32 times in 100, so even a "dominant" spot is a coin you'll see come up tails plenty. Getting it in as the 67.8% favorite is correct every time; the 32.2% that goes the other way is math, not a misplay.
In practice, KK vs A2s rewards aggression from the favorite and caution from the dog: KK wants to realize its 67.5% edge by getting value and denying free cards, while A2s should lean on fold equity and position rather than hoping to win the pot at showdown about 1 time in 3.

Does the KK vs A2s probability change all-in preflop?
No. Once both hands are all-in preflop the odds are set by the cards alone — position, stack size and who bet first change nothing. The only thing that moves the number is suits: KK's equity runs from 67.5% to 68.0% depending on how many suits the two hands share, which is why different sites quote slightly different figures. It does change once board cards are dealt (KK leads on 81% of flops) and in multiway pots, where every extra caller takes equity from both hands.

For KK, yes — a 67.8% favorite should happily commit, especially with fold equity. For A2s at 32.2%, it depends on the price: enough to continue with initiative, but thin enough that stacking off out of position is usually a leak.
