samus vs mater chief


Master Chief vs Samus Aran


Why the fight?

They're both genetically altered superhu[wo]man soldiers possessed of powerful suits of battle armor to help bring on the pain.

Vital Statistics:

Master ChiefMaster Chief

Height: 7 ft tall (in full battle armor)
Weight: 1000lbs (again in full battle armor)

Training: Master Chief is a product of the SPARTAN II genetic project, an experiment that sought to create the finest supersoldiers known to man, by utilising a blend of state of the art genetic and cybernetic alterations, advanced military training and intensive physical and mental training from a young age.

Misc: Official name and rank is Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan John-117. John was stolen from his parents as a child and replaced by a flash clone, who died shortly thereafter from complications in the cloning process. He was born in 2511 and was described as having brown hair, freckles and a gap between his front teeth. The Master Chief is aided by a sentient Artificial Intelligence program known as Cortana, modeled in physical form after SPARTAN project creator Dr. Catherine Halsey. The Master Chief is one of only four SPARTAN's still alive from an original number of thirty three, the other whereabouts of the other three SPARTAN's is currently unknown. It is interesting to note that dead SPARTAN's are never officially classified as dead, listed instead as being MIA (Missing In Action) in order to preserve moral and put forth the appearance that SPARTAN's cannot die.

Upcoming games: Halo 3

samusSamus Aran

Height: 6ft 3 inches
Weight: 198lbs

Training: It is unclear as exactly what kind of training Samus has  undergone, but we do know that she benefited from full military training from the Galactic Federation.  Her infusion with Chozo blood as a child, and later Metroid DNA years later, coupled with years of experience as a bounty huntress make her a deadly force to reckon with.

Misc: Samus' power armor can be equipped with a number of modular upgrades that enhance its functionality and lethality, it also powers a built in arm cannon capable of firing an infinite number of energy based blasts. When Samus was three, her Earth Colony, called K2-L was attacked and destroyed by a species known as the Space Pirates, Samus and her pet, ponchi, as the only survivors of the massacre, were adopted by a pair of kind Chozo.

Upcoming games: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption



The Outcome

The Master Chief is stronger, but Samus has the advantage when it comes to speed and agility, both are capable of analyzing their environments to their advantage, Master Chief in conjunction with Cortana, and Samus using her suits visor and automated analysis system. Samus also possesses the upper hand when it comes to armaments, her suits built in arm cannon and modular upgradability gives her the ability to adapt quickly to whatever situation she finds herself in, and she never runs out of ammo. That said, while Samus' suit is built for flexibility in exploration and combat, Master Chief's MJOLNIR Mark VI power armor is made to power through just about anything you can throw at it, and with the experienced mind of the Master Chief aided by Cortana driving it, Samus can only last so long before being smashed to dust.



Samus is a character close to many hearts, she's been around a heck of a lot longer than the Chief, but she's unfortunately not nearly as fleshed out as a character, which definitely contributed to her defeat in this battle (at least in my mind).

It's a little difficult to judge how Samus would deal with the situation when we've barely come to know her through her videogames. The Chief, while in many ways just as mysterious, is altogether a more rounded character with a defined personality, and more fleshed out past.

Again we certainly hope you've enjoyed reading the third part in this ongoing series of videogame versus battles, the first two parts of which you can read here (Snake vs Sam Fisher) and here (Ryu vs Liu Kang).

The whole thing's building to a massive finale which will see every character that has taken part going at it in a gigantic free-for-all from which only one will emerge victorious. As always we look forward to reading your comments and suggestions (as you can see a couple of previously suggested match ups have already made the list).

P.S. Riddick (from The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay) has been taken off the list as I figured a better match for Kratos would be Dante, leaving Riddick without a competitor, I'm taking suggestions on who he should face up against!

Yea, these comparisons are lame. After reading this one I can now tell its just whatever game the writer likes more.



There is no way the Master Chief could beat Samus.

» samus wins

you forgot to mention in the article that samus has at least 10x the amount of hp in her suit than the master chief.



if you've ever played a metroid game(which i'm sure all of us have), when you reach the end of the game samus is so rigged up it isnt even funny. She has over 1200 hp in her suit and she has all these power-ups(super missle, beam/missle combination, usually 4 different beams, power bomb, space jump, etc, etc..)



The master chief has what? a rocket launcher, sword, shield, hardly any health when shield breaks, some smgs, neeedler, etc, etc..



when it comes down to it, the master chief doesnt have the weapons that samus has and his suit cant take as many hits as hers can and we all know that samus is way more mobile than the master chief.



SAMUS WINS hands down

***** that, MC would kick that *****es ass old school style.



He's got over 800 pounds on her, that ***** little ice gun is not gonna stop chief if he can run through fire, survive the frigid cold, and fall from heights of over 20-50 feet and be fine.



Plus, MC has a counterpart to almost every one of her attacks. Morphball? Come on he's got 800 pounds on her, her running into him isn't going to damage him that much. Lava gun? Meet the Hunter's Rifle. Missles? Rocket Launcher. Her ship? what the hell is that? MC could jump into banshees, ghosts, tanks, etc, although I thought it was a 1 on 1 battle, not calling in ships and bull***** like that.



The only counterpart he doesn't have is the ice beam, but:



1. Freezing him isn't going to really work, if you read the halo novels he's been through much tougher *****.



2. He has a ton of other guns that could be that, from the brute rifle, sniper rifle, plasma grenades, needlers, etc.



I think this is right, chief owns that hoe.

» Sorry guys but Samus would win

Halo is a very easy game even on legendary, that being Said metroid has no hard mode and is still fairly difficult (Try beating Quadraxis or Chakra in one run)



That being said you have more of everything in the metroid prime games, while in Halo you run out of bullets anbd such, however Halo is still an esier game. If you put Samus in Halo, she's be fine, put Master chief in Metroid and Kraid would eat him.



Sorry but I think it's fairly clear, Samus has quite a bit on Master Cheif.

» two words: phazon beam

samus > masterchief

by fdhhhhfffffffffff - 2006-07-19 07:17
» agreed #17

In Metroid Prime, the Phazon Beam (a hyper weapon) is used against the final boss, Metroid Prime. When the corrupted Phazon Suit comes into contact with liquid Phazon, it goes into "Hyper-Mode", supercharging Samus' Arm Cannon and allowing her to shoot a continuous stream of destructive energy. It automatically arcs towards enemies. The Phazon Beam is the only weapon that can damage the second form of Metroid Prime.

Samus > MC for many reasons already stated above ;)

by keekwy - 2006-07-19 07:51
» it depends

If neither one has powerups (energy tanks, beams, visors vs shields/invisibility, plasma grenades, swords, etc.), that are discovered in gameplay, then Chief would probably win--Samus would only have the wussy beam, no morph ball, no extra energy tanks--but it would be close because all chief would have is a machine gun and pistol.



If they are both fully powered up to optimum level, then Samus pwns Chiefs a$$ hands down. Even if chief is cloaked, Samus has a visor for the job and can lock on with any number of weapons including all her charge beams and super missles. She also has her super bombs that basically incinerate everything. She also has the phazon beam, as mentioned earlier, but all Chief has to do is keep his distance from the puddle of Phazon. But don't forget the hyper beam from Super Metroid that Samus acquires after Mother Brain kills the Metroid hatchling. (Man I'm a nerd!) But who cares about all those other powerups when all Samus has to do is a Screw attack on Chief, and he would be dust (he e he, Samus can kill Chief by Screwing him. . .) with no way to counter-attack or defend.



Anyway, nine times out of ten, Samus would destroy Chief with any given assortment of powerups.

» Abilities

I remember once putting together a detailed comparison of both characters and their various equipment, just for fun. Purely on the strength of gear, when fully loaded Samus has a big, big advantage. Master Chief has the advantage of superior weight and armor if both characters use their starting loadout, but given Samus' superior agility I think it might still be a close thing.



A poll might have been handy for this. I mean, at the end of the day, it's always someone's opinion.

because even though samus has more ways of killing him, she is slow and needs to lockon to hit some one. mc is fast when he wants to be, even agile and she couldnt stay locked on so he would circle strafe her ass and no scope head shot her spartan style.

MC would rape Samus (hey in competitive way, you sickos). He' much stronger, has regenerating armor, and has 3 instant kill weapons. Even if they have full power ups, the chief just has to get near her and it will all be over. No powerups then the chief is in trouble cause he might run out of ammo but he'll wear her out in no time.



Stronger, better defence, and wont start crying if his nail broke.

I know im jumping the gun here but I dont think they should be in competition with each other. Kratos needs a more worthy foe....someone likethe incrdible hulk , but one thats more of a video game charachter.

btw I think kratos' story is probably the best told story i've ever experienced in video games. snake is a bit of an arrogant nob ...and his story isnt really as well told...the halo story was great ( thats halo 1 , not the suckfest that was halo 2) but it wasnt really a story about the masterchief, kratos' story is a very personal one and a great one...i'd just like to share that with u all. god bless

» If both were fully powered...

If both were fully powered, I'd say Samus would take it =P And for background, she was infused with Chozo blood as well as trained by Chozo iirc. Samus fully powered up is near invincible. Her beams can stack, or she can use Phazon Beam if we're talking Prime. Her screw attack is a OHKO in the 2D games. She can jump an infinite amount of times (again 2D games). Super Missles, Power Bombs... I swear that woman is rigged.

» Sorry again

Sorry to the guy who thinks MC is faster, he's not all that weigt weights him down, and plus we all forget that Samus' Powerbomb has the force of a small hydrogen bomb, and the Warhammer from Hunters has a small nuclear reactor in it. She has much more of an arsenal then we though because we all failed to mention the firepower from Metroid Prime: Hunters.



Also for the person who says Metroid is less popular then Halo, granted Halo in it's first 2 games has likely sold more units then Metroid 1 and 2, right now Metroid is the driving force for Nintendo's WFC, also (and you can find this information at IGN, Gamespot, or any other major gaming site) the WFC is growing at a much higher rate then Xbox Live, and could possibly surpass it even before the Wii comes out. So I guess Samus is pretty popular.

It was sad how u cut to the chase in the Outcome of Samus vs. MC. MC's slow butt couldnt escape a single powerbomb from samus(probably wouldnt kno which way to run in order to escape it) Besides that MC couldnt even hand Samus from a distance even if they were closing in on each other. They both have sniper's now, and Samus's is more innate. Maybe if MC was anything like Spartan-Linda, He's stand a chance at sniping. But Samus with her unlimited ammo, and homming missles and now, the weapons featured in Prime Hunters, she IS undefeatable! I guess u only wrote the foolish outcome so that people with sense would write a ton of comments saying how crazy u are. LOL, i get it. Ur just BIG Samus Aran fans, ur just tesing us, rite?

I don't see how having a character's past or personality not fleshed out as much would lead them to their defeat being pitted against a character from a different game universe. Where do you come up with that kind of logic, really?



Let's see,...Samus has unlimited beam ammo with several different types of beams, missiles, super missiles, super jump, morph ball, bombs, is impervious to heat, and gravity, and let's not forget to mention she can see through walls and has predator-like thermal vision...



Hmmmm and that's not enough?!?



The battle would be reminiscent to the Black Knight in Monty Python in the holy grail. She would blast off all his limbs, one by one, until he was just a little torso jumping around, and then she would destroy him. End of story.



Chris, your writing skills are extremely disappointing, to say the least.

» Samus vs MC

Based on how high mc can jump and how much damage he does by pistol whipeing we know he is hella powerful. And he can jump that high despite his weight so this leads me to conclude that he would be very fast despite his weight and the books describe him as agile so Samus doesnt (bEaTz hIm AuToMaTiClIeZ) like you guys seem to think. Also if you are going to compare them then they need to both be fully loaded with all there gear or none of it. obviously with none of it MC would mess Samus up but what about full loaded? I think Samus would probably win due to all of her gadgets, lock on ability, and speed but I wouldnt count MC out 100%. If MC was fully loaded that would mean he would have the entire Halo arsenal including over shield, sniper rifle, rocket launcher, sword, and the all mighty h1 pistol. Not to mention the fact that most/all of Samuses weapons are energy based and we know how little energy weapong affect him compared to hot lead. On the other hand MC has both so wich ever worked best could be used against her. I love the Metroid games but that doesnt make her a more elite character. Its like compareing two super heroes, just because one is more powerful doesnt make the character better.

» One thing, though

To all the peeps who think that Master Chief would win hands down if you compare the two without any upgrades, maybe you should think again.



It really depends on strategy. Master Chief only has a finite amount of ammo. We all know Samus is fast enough to run circles around Chief, even just the strafing in the Prime games. She could just blast him while running circles, while he just runs out of ammo.



It's all about strategy.



Without any armor, I think they might be pretty evenly matched. I've never read the Halo books, but if I recall correctly, both are genetically modified, so while Master Chief has the benefit of a militaristic super-soldier type serum, who knows what crazy stuff having a Chozo infusion does to you.



I will reitterate like all who have gone before me, fully powered, Samus would win. Master Chief's armor might be able to regenerate, but anybody who's played the Halo games knows he's NOTHING when that shield is down, and with infinite ammo, Samus just has to keep on firing, baby, just keep on firing.

» Samus wins hands down

i agree with 77



Samus suit can take a serious load of beating. Mc's suit can't even with 200% shields, he can only take 2 missiles headon. Samus is just plainly a tougher nut to crack.



Samus can take on at least 20 MCs and still comeout on top.



Even if cortana is with MC, what can she do?....let me see, access the situation? I don't think so...bcos she knows nothing about chozo technology which drives Samus's suit.



MC has little health after his shields go down, and remember how effective energy based weapons are against MC's suit.



So even with them stripped. Samus would still win.



And c'mon how dare you compare their agility and say MC is just as agile and fast. MC's just a 1000pound piece of junk.

» MC pwnz

Samus really has nothing, the only thing she has is technology like infinate ammo and beams and ***** and the only reason she would win is beacause of just that. MC however is amazing cuz he pwnz everyone he meets with basic weapons and with little life. He is mortal, not like that tech-freak, focked up, agile samus. If you gave them both the same arsenal then MC would own her because he has got the real training just because he has learned with normal wweapons and then when he gets superweapons like samus he would ooooooooooooooo oown, you hear me?? I said OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOWWWWWWNNNN.

» Samus Aran!

We all know Ms. Aran would pulverize John-117 (aka Master Chief). There's no way the Chief could take out Samus. Play Metroid Prime and play Halo: Combat Evolved or Halo 2 and you'll see why. Samus is extremely agile and much faster than John. The Chief would eventually run out of ammo and his shield would give way, thus giving Ms. Aran the advantage. I truly believe (with all due respect Christopher C.) the editor writing this article is most likely a fan of the Halo series to make such final judgement.

I will admit that I'm a Halo fan myself. I own both Halo:CE & Halo 2, I have the Xbox & Xbox 360 (and plan on waiting in line for Halo 3). I have a Gamecube and have played both Metroid Prime & MP2: Echoes. I do play Halo 2 on Live a lot, more so than the Metroid games on my 'Cube, but that is not indicative that Samus as a fighter is inferior to the chief. The only thing that the Halo series has over the current Metroid games on the 'Cube is its excellent multi-player feature.

Another thing to Halo is the fact that John-117 is depicted as an a$$-kicking bad-a$$ from humble beginnings. Which a lot of male gamers like and seem to identify with. Therefore a lot of us tend to think that the Chief would win (especially against a "woman"). Who wants to see their new favorite male hero being overtaken by a woman? Didn't think so!



So be fair and give the victory to whom deserves it.



Oh and one last thing......Rid***** rocks!

by Blu - 2006-07-20 03:43
» Forgetting somthing

Samus was the only survivor of her colony after a space pirate attack, it wasen't because she hid like a little girl, it was because she fought hard and waited for the Chozo to arrive, Master Cheif survied a number of alien attacks by sheer dumb luck. Also Samus plays though the original Metroid Without her suit if you can unlock it. Which reminds me Zero Suit Samus from Super Smash Bros Brawl can use the grapling hook and such, no suit involved. Also she can basically fly with the screw attack and all of her weapons (including her gunship) are connected to her blood. Lol Actually that leads me to another point, I actually tested out how much damage the power bomb does and it could easily destroy his shild and kill him because it has a huge range and does damage the entire time he's within the range. MC may have a regenerating shield, it takes a few moments to regenerate, and within that time Samus is fast enough to give him a nice shot, heck maybe with the imperialist.

by @83 - 2006-07-20 04:36
» sorry, but no

While Snake does rock, Chief and Samus are out of his element. Both have space armor with augmented physical abilities. Snake could not even reach Chiefs neck to snap it without standing on a chair. Camouflage would not work on Samus with her visors. Chief would crush Snake, and Samus would vaporize him. No contest.



A better matchup for Snake is Sam Fisher (which they did) or Agent 47.

I think a MUCH better matchup for Sephiroth would be Kefka Palazzo from FFVI (or III on SNES).



That would be some serious destruction. Both are uber-powerful, and while I don't know as much about Sephiroth, I do know Kefka is a total psycho badass.

samus would own MC. he would shoot her but miis because sh'e too fast. then he would be like ***** out of bullets. then when he goes yo run fro more samsus would blow his ass away with a super missles. but then she would try and bosst ball attacvk him but then he would kick her away like a soccer ball. but she would come back and ***** up his day real bad. if he used camo dark visor. samsu would still owm in hand to hand and weapons.

by Zapharus - 2006-07-20 07:49
» Yeah the chief is white...

or anything other than African-American. If any of you have read any of the Halo novels, especially "The Fall of Reach", which describe the Chief in his infancy (6 or 8 years old, I believe). So yes, John-117 is not black but it wouldn't be a bad thing to have Denzel White play him in the movie. Denzel is an excellent actor (and he can play an awesome bad-a$$... Don't believe me? Watch the movie "Training Day").

» samus FTW

I personally think that samus would win because of several things:

1) she is able to, fall from any hight without geting hurt where as if Master Cheif fell from a high enough distance he would die.

2) Samus can breath under water where as Master Cheif can't (at least I don't know he can)

3) With the scan visor, she would have the info right at her hands on how to beat Master Cheif, while Master Cheif has to figure it all himself.

4) Screw Attack.....Nuff' said

5) I doubt that bullets would harm her at all, and the beam weapons on Halo are much weaker than some weapons in the Metroid series

6) Omega Cannon.....Nuff' said again

7) Shine Sparking.....Nuff' said yet another time

In one game, she is able to fire off every single weapon avalible in the game all in one blast (each seperate beam is shown I think)

9) How many people do you think can survive being digested by a toad, and live to tell the tail?

10) Samus was able to defeat enimes that were 10x her size and 30x more powerfull then her. Master Cheif hasn't come even close to that.

since neither are real life charicters it all depends on the players if they made a game that had samus vs masterchief it would be pretty fun but hard to make but i think it all depends on the skill of the play a freaking good halo player could wast someone who was allright at being samus a freaking good samus player could waste a allright masterchief player

by Blu - 2006-07-20 09:48
» well...

In Halo 2 MC comes into contact with what I like to call the "Flood Boss". At that point he decides to trust it and help the covenant warrior because fighting the "Flood Boss" would be futile.



In a situation like that Samus would be fighting. Think about it, she has been in this situation, when Kraid tried to force her to work with Ridly, she gave them both the finger, drove them both away then destroy Mother Brain.

by Comeshot - 2006-07-20 09:57
» Samus ofcourse.

Evidently Samus would win any day. When she's in a tight

situation she'll just take here body suit off and BAMM!! Knockers baby.. MC will look at those coconuts and just die.

by Ronin - 2006-07-20 11:01
» Truthfully.... thats bull.

Master Chief's armor is all but invincible. With enough consecutive hits, that energy armor runs out, and MC is open for attack. Samus' rapid fire could easily take out the armor, and then blast him with a missile. And MC having 'more experience?' Thats a load of crap. And Samus could hold out much longer than MC. She's much faster and has unlimited ammo, whereas MC doesn't.

by Blu - 2006-07-20 12:02
» Yep Number 98 has a point

We don't know how old Samus is, but we do know that at a very young age she was given the power suit and became a bounty Hunter. Both are bred for war so it's not fair to say MC has more experience.

» mc would win

saying that samus would win because of hersuite is retarded. if her suite/weapons/gadgetsare better that just means she has better luck and doesnt reflect eighers true skill. mc isfast... even while wearing 800 pound armor, so if both were not wearing suits then mc would run circles around samus - not the other way around. bottom line is mc relies on skill while samus relies on technology. this fact alone makes mc abetter character.



and even if samus was more powerful mc would still be cooler.

HAY GUYZ SAMUS WINS CUZ SHE CAN RUN A MARATHON LEIK 10 SECOBNDS FASTER THEN MASTER CHIEF N BECUZ SHE IS SO "AGILE" THAT SHE COULD OUTRUN A BULLET!



Bull*****. She's not agile. If you fools even bothered playing any of the games, you'd note she's just as fast as he is when they're running. Seriously, check it out. THEY RUN AT THE SAME SPEED. She can't outrun a bullet, so her agility means ass.



And who cares what her tech has? Master Chief has instant kill weapons. INSTANT kill. On the other hand, he and his "23242" pound armor can take an immense beating by anything but the sniper rifle and sword.



Despite all her technology and gasp! agility, she would lose purely based on strategy and armed combat. Why? Because he's better trained.



Sure, she has infinite beam weapons, and can roll around in a ball, but so what? It'd take a butload of beam hits to even take down his shield and by that time he'd have killed her.

» Samus

Samus would have to win if you conisider everything in her arsenal compared to master chief. As stated before, master chief can only hold two weapons at once, three if dual wielding. And even if MC had noob combo, Samus doesnt have a f***ing gay shield that doesnt hold up against s**t, so she wouldnt be affected. Even if MC had the rocket launcher/sniper, rocket/sword, he wouldnt be able to take health down fast enough on Samus. She has freakin 10 health bars of 99 hp each. Samus uses mostly plasma and phazon weapons. We all have seen how fast plasma weapons destroy MCs shield. All samus would need to do is fire of three or four NORMAL plasma shots, or just a charge shot, and his shield would be f***ed. Then just fire on missile and bye bye MC. Who cares if MC outweighs her by 800 pounds. All that does is make it hurt more if he PUNCHES OR KICKS HER. If she kept her distance, the f***ing weight wouldnt make a difference. Samus is more agile, not FASTER. Agile is different. Shes more evasive than MC. They have equal running speeds and jumping heights normally, but samus also has a double jump. If you were going by fight with no powerups, then samus would still win, because she starts off every game with.....*Secret Weapon*=Power Beam. This power beam is *OMG* PLASMA. Again, shoot him a few times and the shield is gone, and since mc still has no powerups *meaning guns because they arent with his original armor*, means he would be ****ed trying to play hand to hand with her. But since samus is more *agile* he would only be able to hit her a few times, and if he still landed a punch, he would be hitting *****ing space metal and crap, and she would fly back, have even MORE distance, and **** him up. And dont even pull that "well master chief is cooler" or "he will totally pwn her still", because any thought of samus actually losing, would be illogical and idiotic. MC may have a cooler name, or outweigh her (stupid thought, whoever brought this weight thing in as an issue is a naive A**wipe), but he would never be able to beat him. I own both an Xbox, and SNES, NES, and GC. I have both halos and enjoy them both, as well as all the metroid games i own. I am a avid fan of microsoft and nintendo. I am sorry, but MC will get teabagged by samus (Even though she has no balls), but she will simply rip them off of cheif after she is done, and teabag him with his own balls. The end.

The results will be a little inaccurate because of multiple posts and ambiguous "votes" (also some posts were OT, so it doesn' add up to the total # of posts), but it still gives a pretty clear picture of who most people believe would actually win. (BTW I assumed they were both at optimum level since it wouldn't really make sense to face them off with out thier gear. It's part of who they are, no?)

samus is a weak little *****. mc is faster, stronger, and has a greater range of USEFULL technology. energy tanks dont matter when you get a bullet through your visor. samus's shots would drop his shield but could not penatrate armor seeing as how they cant even penetrate stone in metroid prime. the only way she could kill him would be with rockets and I am posative that he could dodge them.

» Thats completely unreasonable @112

So, MC is so good at dodging rocket launchers and missiles eh? Ever even played halo 2 online or just with friends. Yeah, he dodges rockets VERY well *sarcasm*. You seem to forget that Samus has a double-paned VISOR and ARMOR. A bullet shot would never be able to penetrate that. The only reason she gets damaged is because she is shot wth ENERGY. MC has this, but not enough enough to take her out. Lead would simply bounce off of her. And if you've ever played halo, you can kill MC or a SPARTAN with a plasma weapon. Its not difficult. And you think that Samus has technology thats not useful? Samus is able to adapt to almost any situationn. She has a grappling hook (MCs got nothing), shes got a double jump (MC can only jump once). Samus also can roll into a ball to fit into tight spaces(MC can only crouch), and She has several different visors to hunt down any opposition, making any Camoflauge or attempt to hide futile. So stop bringing in s**t "evidence" that MC would win. Oh yeah, and she would take MCs balls, teabag him, then reach into his chest, rip them out of his esophagus, and shove them up his anus, and take a piss on his face. Thats why samus wins.

MC has a auto-repairing upgradeable shield, up to life x4 is possible, and with dual lasers, Samus would be nothing but a BBQ plate.

When she runs out of shield, she's nothing but a weak litle, well, girl.

MC doesn't need a silly "scan visor" since he cas a second "brain"; Cortana.

Cortana is the ultimate co-fighter, since she can scan for vulrnerable points on the target while MC shoots on that forever scanning visor causing her to die.



Also don't you think it's dumb to just assume that everyone and everything is an enemy?

MC uses intelligence to survive better while Samus is relying on firepower and luck.

he could use the covenant beam rifle wich WOULD penatrate her visor. also when you are playing multiplayer you ARE NOT THE MC, get that through your head. you just look like him and you cant even judge his skills entirely off of the games because in order to make the gameplay balanced they restrict things like running speed. you have to base it off of the books wich dewscribes him as agile and quick. also if you are going to count everything at his disposal, the mc could call in back up from the 3 remaining spartans and then she would have no chance.

by Aran - 2006-07-21 12:56
» @117 and 116

116- Samus has no shields, just HP so one of your arguments is *****. Samus already has 100 times the HP of chief anyways. also, samus isnt such a retard that she needs some robot in her suit giving her instructions, because he isnt smart enough to acess situations himself. And Samus can use the scan visor on the fly while she fights dumbass, so she does the same thing as cortana, except not as lame. Samus has never once encountered luck in any of her games. MC has narrowly escaped many situations that are based on luck, such as the flood. Samus has only one, and that is when she was attacked as a child and survived. MC is such a *****, that he has teams that go in and help him fight because he is too weak to do it himself, whereas samus goes in alone and rapes everything she sees.



117- As I said before, bullets wouldnt penetrate her double paned-visor. Also, when you play co-op mode, and your buddy shoots you during a level, are you not master chief then too? It seems that you fail at showing "evidence". Also, how do we know that samus isnt faster, since she hasnt had books written about her that suck. The game just may give her "restrictions" a**hole. And where did three remaining spartans come from? The SPARTANS SURVIVED BUT CANNOT BE LOCATED S***HEAD. Omg ruled. Anyways, if you want to count all the bounty hunters from hunters on samus' side, they would be more than enough to handle your lost Spartans. Then, Samus and the extra hunters would teabag the spartans with their own balls. Then they would take the bodies, and roast them at a BBQ, then stuff them with three cheeses, and eat them.

» Hmmm...

I would say that who wins is strictly a matter of opinion.



That being said, strength alone does not always win battles, and I believe that this article does not examine every aspect of the battle. The "He is stronger and therefore will win" argument is quite one dimensional. The person writing this should also factor in the types of weapons each character would use and their more specific strengths, the type of terrain and how each character would use it to his/her advantage, how each character reacts to different situations, which character is able to utilize better strategies, etc.



Better yet, the person writing this should ask people to vote on who will win the next "fight" and which qualities give him/her an advantage, and then follow those guidelines as opposed to basing his writing strictly on personal opinions.

An emperor amasses an army of hundreds of thousands, drawn from two continents, to invade a third continent and conquer a tiny, divided nation. Only a few hundred warriors stand against them. Yet the tiny nation is saved. It sounds like the plot of a preposterous fantasy novel. It is historical fact. In 481-480 B.C., King Xerxes of Persia raised forces in Asia and Africa and invaded Greece with an army so huge that it "drank rivers dry." Then they entered the mountain pass of Thermopylae and encountered 300 determined soldiers from Sparta. Useing inteligence and strategy the army of a mear 300 killed every last person in the army of hundreds of thousands.

I belittle and talk down on those that make the most stupid posts, that give no evidence whatsoever that support their side, and are completely unreasonable. Also, my "evidence" is false and assumed? If you've gone to wikipedia read samus' biography, everything i wrote was based off of her biography and first-hand experience from the games. Theres your "evidence". You get mad at me for calling others names and there you go doing the same to me. Hyprocrite. Oh, and where is your evidence that the Halo books series are good? Isn't it all a matter of opinion? If you think its good others may think it reeks of cat litter. And there is no "evidence" to support that a book is good, because there is no way of fairly judging it. In these video game battles though, you have to look at what each character has. I assessed both characters and their strenghts and weakness'. Then, i wrote off starting to write about how great samus is and probably didnt put in enough good stuff with chief to make him sound better, which i why you hate me. But, i considered all that chief had when i was writing it, but did not put it in because i thought that you guys were smart enough to see that samus was better without me explaining his abilities too. I guess i was wrong. Shame. Oh, and by the way, i like master chief better and is by far my favorite, but samus is stronger and a better fighter and would rule him in a match unless a biased writer is in charge of the outcome.

I didnt say the halo book were good, I said they were well written and that I and others like me enjoyed them. I didnt mean that your Samus info was bad, I meant that your comparison was. there is no way to know if the MC's suite or Samus's is more powerful because you dont know exactley how powerful the weapons are that are used against them. the same goes for other pieces of your "evidence". To top it all off I never even called you a name, what I said was "you sure are dumb" I also said that you need to grow up and that you make yourself look "emotional shallow and immature" but "dumb" is an adjative and I never called you a name and by acting as if I did you proved my point. And lastly I never said anything about likeing the MC over Samus so why would you assume that I am mad about you not saying good stuff about the Chief? I dont like the MC better, I dont like you because you are IGNORANT! you pretend to be intelligent but you are just as bad as the people "you talk down to and belittle".

You may have not called the halo books good directly, but you think that they were well written and enjoyable. To put this in kingergarten terms, it means that the books are "good" by your judgement. If you deny that, then you contradict yourself like you've been doing. You may have called me dumb and say i look shallow and immature, and then say you have never called me a name (you are right about that), but you still say bad things about me which is what names do, all names do is label you based on what is bad, which is just as bad as saying what the person is. In your 120 post, you said "its one thing to fight and argue for your fav character but to result to name calling is rediculas" which was obviously aimed at me saying i am biased and that i get mad and talk down on others that oppose me. Which is all true except that i am not biased. In 128/129 though you said "And lastly I never said anything about likeing the MC over Samus" Contradiction? Also, I considered the strengths of their weapons when i was writing how the fight would end up. I considered them based on what they are able to accomplish during the games, their biography, tactics, and the way they react to others in games AND books(halo). I should have posted this earler to not have others recieve my posts negatively. I am sorry for this. I know i am just as bad as those i talk down on and belittle. I admit it. However, i do not pretend to be intelligent. I AM intelligent. fu, I am not ignorant by any stretch of the imagination. I know both characters very well, and if you are basing it of of the way i treat others or act when im not talking about the characters, you are still wrong. You seem to be running out of *false* accusations to post against me. I have countered all you have thrown my way, and you have been scrambling your pieces together and throwing them at me (very poorly). I have intelligently thought out all you have said and given you straightforward answers without dancing around the bush. You call me unintelligent when you fail to spell one in every five words correctly.



Back to Samus vs. Chief



SAMUS FTW!

» Lets just imagine they team up!

Every one is just trying to defend their character from their "prefered" platform. I look at it this way.



Samus AND MC team up against everything bad. samus freezes them MC Shoots them with bullets that go right through ice without shattering it.



Also for those who think samus is slow, many of her games (wich also ad to her experience) Have a speed booster which allows her to run at ....like .....1000kph! its nuts.



I havent played any halo games but my friend tell me sume stuff bout them. Thing is Supposively halo 3 is the last halo game.... but as far as i know they will be continuing metroid games..... so whos samus guna fight after halo 3?

Calling names and desrcribing someone or theire behavior is not anywhere close to the same. When someone does something and you make an observation about that person and their actions it is SOP. Saying "yOuR a ReTaRdz aNd A AzzHoLeZzzzz!" or any other name calling is childish AND wrong.



Now on to the books that I never said were good... well I guess thats it? I never said they were good so why are you twisting things around? Well let me explain my self. I said they were well written, as in they were written with skill. I also said that I enjoyed them but I seperated the two statements because me enjoying them is about me and my opinions while being well written is in my mind a fact. I chose not to call them good and to seperate my posts in that way to reconize that being "good" is an opinion and it is pointless to word an opinion as a fact.



On a final note (I say final because this will be my last post) you assume too much. You assume that I like MC more becasue I called you biased but I dont and you are. You assume I am unintelligent because of poor spelling wich is rediculous, you dont even know me. You cant honestly tell me that you cant think of one good reason why I would spell poorly on a message board? Well I will give you a few examples, perhaps I dont care enough about a message board to spell/grammar check, maybe I dont care enough to even try, maybe I have used MS Word for so log that I am not used to writing things without those checkers, there are many other possible reasons but to be honest it is a combination of the three and the fact that I am not a strong speller. Does that make me "stupid", "uninteligent", or "dumb"? I dont think so but I am sure you will jump to conclusions just like you have with all of my posts.

Good Bye

You know what? Yes, it does make you unintelligent that you need to use word. Even if you spell bad on a board, it still reflects the way you type anywhere else, and to say that you dont type this way anywhere else is complete bulls**t. On another note, you say that the halo books are well written and others enjoy them. Here, i did assume things, but its pretty easy to make an assumption when you set yourself up like that. I may have been wrong, but lots of things are decieving. And when I said to put it in kindergarten terms that you think they're "good", I may have used the wrong word to describe them. I am sorry for that. Everyone calls name calling and talking down on others childish. How is it childish then, when people of every age do it? Isnt that sterotyping? I see that everyday from thirty year old men and even grandparents and people of all ages. So to label something as childish is wrong, because it is not childish, when in fact it is HUMAN NATURE. Deal with it. You also say how can i tell if you are unintelligent if I dont even know you? How can you tell I'm unintelligent if you dont even know me? I'll let you think about that. I am writing this out of sheer satisfaction that you are going to read this and not reply. I get all giggly and happy inside when I know in your last post that you said you are not going to post again, whereas I got to post again and tear you a new butthole. So i say to you my friend, are you going to retaliate like you have done in the past and given me very poorly put together accusations? Or are you going to sit in your little corner and play with yourself as you should have done in the first place before you made a fool of yourself? Guess what? I win

» I said I wouldnt post again, I lied

Just one thing to say, I will not respond to the rest because it is equaly full of stupidity.



THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE IS NOT THE SAME AS LACK OF INTELLIGENTS



Of course I type like this in other places but I go over my writing looking for gramatical/spelling mistakes that need correction. I refine my writting to be more soffisticated. As long as my posts are understandable I dont give a ***** when I am on a message board and the only ones who do care are eigher idiots who cant find anything realy wrong with what I say like you and grammar cops who pick on everyone.

by Aran - 2006-07-24 08:57
» Wow

Someone is getting angry! XD. I thought that your 132 post was your last one. There you go again. I too refine my writing to be more SOPHISTICATED (not soffisticated hahahaha). I have no doubt in my mind that you have lots of useful knowledge and I never said you were lacking knowledge. However, i do doubt your intelligence. For instance, you contradict yourself in posts which is UNINTELLIGENT. Did you also notice that I brought up your grammar errors AFTER I presented all the plausible evidence that Samus is better than MC. It was simply to further piss you off to no end which i have successfully done. I gave you all the reasons why samus would win and they are all points that you would have to be mentally retarded to challenge, because I backed it up with firsthand experience. So i ask you, How does it feel to get pounded in the a**?

Your obviously mentally handicapped so I will try to help you out with this little problem of yours. You pointed to my gramatical errors and spelling mistakes telling me it was proof that I am "dumb". I pointed out that lack of knowledge is not the same as lack of intelligence. Then you sayed "I never said you were lacking knowledge" and I am the dumb one? Damn, things must be nice in your little world where you can just make up the rules as you go along and even change what did or didnt happen. Well I come from anotrher world, the REAL world. And in it YOU are the unintelligent person who got his rectum forcefully entered. You see this little problem of yours? Maybe you should prevent this burden on of the real world that is your existence by means of a shotgun blast to the face

Have a nice day now and dont forget to wear your helmet.

Wow, you are very ignorant. I have never once called you dumb in any of my posts, so i dont get where you got that from. There goes another one of your arguments. I called you unintelligent because you do unintelligent things. You are by no means "dumb", but I seriously question your intelligence. Do you hear the faint sound of someone screaming while being raped by a black man named cindy? I do. I think it's coming from fu. So fu, you never admit you are wrong. I have been the bigger man on a few occasions and admitted I am wrong, whereas you seem to think you are an almighty power. Well guess what, you are not. So come out and admit you are wrong, and don't give me some s**t that counters what I say, that makes barely any sense. Thank you

» Samus wins

First of all for all of you who dont know Samus has been strengthend by robotics, chozo blood and metroid DNA. She can run much faster than him. His most powerfull attackes(rocket luancher, plasma sword, sniper rifel ect...) would take away 30 points of energy. Plasma weapones would take away 1 point of energy. Bullets would do very little if not no damage to her. Now Samus's power beam is about as powerful as the plasma rifle. The wave beam would go throu walles and disrupt his systems. The ice beam would freeze him and she could shater him with a missile. The plasma beam is equivelant to 1 of MC's missiels. 2 of samus's missiels are = to one rocket. Super missiles, ice spreder,wavebus ter, darkburst(black hole), sun burst(mini sun), sonic boom(wall of sonic energy),imperia list, power bombs, screw attack and speed bossters would 1 hit kill him.

by JMA - 2006-07-29 04:16
» Energy is the key...

MC's shield is vulnerable to "energy" attack (from the aliens) isn'it?



So you would only need some Power Beam shots and finish it with a simple missile.



Case closed. ;)

» the winner and always will be ......SAMAS why????

samus has a better chance of winning she can transform into a ball and has plenty tipes of blasters she can triple jump can dash but can master cheif do that besides many blasters i don't think so



samas is the best she will win defenetaly for sure
