Who is Samus Aran, and why is he fighting Gordon Ramsay? Oh, you said Master CHIEF.

reply









Given all of the nifty tricks her armor can do (freeze ray, missles, photon blaster, morph ball with mines, energy tether, etc.), Samus wins. And angry, insecure men spam this board yet again.

reply

Pfft. Samus Aran is a warrior, we'd accept it and cheer her victory. A 125 pound 17 year old in armor that weighs almost as much as she does, with no combat experience of any kind, is not. So nyah.

Cameron in the sack: 'Come with me if you want to live!'

reply

Eh. Fair enough.

reply

Yeah, but she still wouldn't win.

reply

My ass she does. Master Chief's armor recharges his health. That's all that matters. And angry, Nintendo fanboys spam this board yet again.

reply

Samus's armor is more advanced, has more weapons and abilities built into it, and takes down things way larger than what Master Chief faces (eg. Ridley). But nice try.

reply

Yeah, but Master Chef sells more videogames.

reply

Halo Reach may have sucked, but Metroid: Other M sucked harder.

Oh wait, Master Chief wasn't even in Halo Reach.

reply

What this comes down to is:

A MAN vs. a girl.

Who would win?

Idiots

reply

Samus' armor is all style, no substance. Master Chief has already faced enemies who use devastating arm cannons. For having "more advanced" armor, she should try getting a function that automatically heals herself. Take them both out of the armor and the fight would be over in two seconds. Only feminists and deluded Nintendo fanboys honestly believe Samus would win.

reply

No. Only those with common sense KNOW that Samus would win.

reply

Of course, you didn't refute me.

reply

Why refute an argument that has already failed? I already told you, Samus has more, better, and more versatile weapons and equipment, fought far bigger and more powerful enemies that would make Elites and Brutes crap their pants, etc. Stop kidding yourself. Logic says the Chief loses.

reply

You keep forgetting about Master Chief's energy shield. He's already fought people with arm cannons, he's physically stronger, and he was trained to be the ultimate soldier. I'd rather deal with ONE big enemy, than small enemies who attack in large numbers and don't stop. The Flood would overwhelm all of Samus' enemies. Are you a Nintendo fanboy or a feminist?

reply

The chief has never faced an arm canon like Samus's. Here's an excerpt:

"the Prime Series, the Arm Cannon features six different configurations. The standard, closed configuration, where the Cannon appears completely smooth, is always reserved for the Power Beam. The wide configuration, where the sides of the Cannon expand, is used for the Wave Beam, Light Beam, and Nova Beam. The tall configuration, where the top piece of the Cannon protrudes upwards, is used for the Ice Beam, Dark Beam, and Plasma Beam (though the Plasma Beam is only in this configuration in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.) The long configuration, where the muzzle of the Cannon extends outwards, is used for the Plasma Beam (only in Metroid Prime) and the Annihilator Beam. A fifth configuration, only seen in Corruption when Samus enters Hypermode, shows the Cannon opening up in apparently the wide configuration, but with half-pipe like chutes on the sides, presumably for ventilation. In Prime the Phazon Beam expands the gun in all directions at once. The last configuration, where 4 parts of the Arm Cannon protrude in 4 directions, the tip of the Cannon contracts and turns blue, and a ring separates from the Arm Cannon and widens, is used only for the Zero Laser.

It is also shown to have many other functions, such as uplinking with computers or other systems, welding, physical combat, and directing the Gunship."

http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Arm_Cannon

That canon ALONE overwhelms everything in Chief's arsenal. Yet you honestly think that an energy shield that drains after a few hits is going to stand up to that kind of firepower? If so, you're in tragic denial. And I haven't even gotten to the missles and morph ball yet.

reply

[deleted]

Master Chief faced the Hunter's arm cannon. Slower, but more powerful than Samus' cannon. Plus, Hunters don't fight by themselves. He's taken down numerous enemies who use plasma weapons. All he has to do is wear Samus' health down until she dies. Master Chief's plasma grendades are instant kills, Samus' missles don't stick. The morph ball won't work, because Master Chief's HUD detects nearby enemies.

So are you a Nintendo fanboy or a feminist?

reply

"Samus' missles don't stick."

No. But they have homing capabilities. So she doesn't need them to stick.

reply

She just has to worry about those missles being tricked into hitting her.

reply

The only one who's worrying at this point is Cortana who desperately wants the UNSC to recover her from the battered helmet of the now dead Master Chief.

But I guess you're going to continue trying to ignore logic and make up more BS.

reply

I don't need to, because Samus is nothing more than a faster, but weaker, Hunter.

But at least Samus will reunite with Adam in the next world.

reply

She's faster and WAY better armed. I've already proven just how much better equipped she is than the Chief and how she has an overwhelming number of ways to take him down. Yet you're either in complete ignorant denial or are just plain trolling (or both). Your precious Chief lost. Face it.

reply

She's only faster when she's in her ball mode and that's not going to stop the Chief. All he has to do is shoot her in the head and she'll be down for the count. Or he could hit her with a plasma grenade. Or he could just beat her down. Master Chief isn't going to stand around while she charges up her cannon. Just because Samus is a woman doesn't mean she would win.

reply

She's faster on foot too. Apparently, you've never heard of Samus's Speed Booster.

http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Speed_Booster

"the Speed Booster allows Samus to run at "supersonic speeds." This indicates that she can move from her normal speed to Mach 1 to 5. "

And once again, your argument is rendered useless.

reply

She can't mantain that for very long and she'll have problems controlling herself.

Maybe she'd be able to knock out Master Chief's shield, but she'd be right in his face. And in close quarters combat, Samus cannot match Master Chief's strength.

reply

Nope. She's too agile. This vid shows she can dodge anything Master Chief throws at her.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mwak7rY3ch8

And the vid also demonstrates that she's strong enough to subdue monsters that are far bigger than her with her bare hands and blast them while holding them in submission.

The Chief not only can't outrun her but he can't overpower her either.

Seriously, this is too easy.

reply

Looks like I have to repost what Zauberer said, because you missed it.

I saw Samus get her ass beat by Kirby. Case closed.

Yeah, it's easy when you can't stick to ONE series. First, you brag about how powerful Samus' cannon is in the Prime games. Then you claim Samus is "too agile" with footage from Other M.

So what's it going to be? The Samus with the powerful arm cannon or the super agile Samus?

Either would be taken down by Master Chief. Prime Samus is just a faster Hunter and Other M Samus will quickly find out that the Chief isn't some stupid enemy who only fires in one direction. He can kill people with one melee attack. Samus has no chance of overpowering him.

reply

Super Smash Bros, a fighting game where who wins depends on the player. If that's the case, then Kirby could beat Master Chief too.

And no, MC loses no matter which version. Prime Samus has enough weaponry and gadgets to put down the Chief without really trying. And Other M Samus is quick enough to avoid just about anything Chief throws at her and demolish him close up like she does with monsters 3-4 times her size (as seen in the video). But all you do is run your mouth spouting unsupported claims while I've pretty much proven with evidence that Samus is the superior warrior. At this point, you're just trolling.

reply

How many times do I have to remind you about the Hunters? They're bigger than Samus, they do more damage, and they attack in numbers. Prime Samus will be down after a few hits from Master Chief's battle rifle. He doesn't need to overcompensate with an arm cannon that needs to be charged.

Looks like I also have to remind you about Master Chief's melee attacks. He's strong enough to take down Elites and Brutes in one hit. In case you haven't noticed, Samus is only overpowering those bigger enemies because she's blasting them with her arm cannon. Master Chief is still stronger. When Samus gets in close, she's going to be knocked back with a blunt attack. Then, the Chief will finish her off with a volley of gunfire. It's a suicidal move that won't work.

I've noticed that you dropped your argument about the enemies Samus defeated being stronger than the ones Master Chief has. Are you willing to admit that the Flood are more dangerous than Metroid's enemies?

It seems on this board "trolling" translates into "proving me wrong." If Samus was a guy and Master Chief was a girl, you'd probably be arguing in the Chief's favor.

reply

You've never proved me wrong. All you've done is ignore the overwhelming evidence that Samus would win due to better enhancements, technology and weapons.

And as for enemies, Samus has fought far tougher than the Flood, namely the Metroids themselves. They are nigh-invulnerable and one of the very few real ways to defeat them is by freezing them to weaken them and then destroying them with nothing less than MISSLES (bullets won't do anything). A Flood (and just about everything else in the Halo world) can be killed with conventional gunfire.

And Master Chief can hit Samus all he wants. Samus has been picked up, smashed against a wall, and then literally ground against it at high speeds by the monster, Ridley and had no trouble whatsoever continuing to fight with her suit still fully intact.

reply

Good job ignoring most of my points. I haven't even talked about the Spartan laser yet. Master Chief's strength, superior training, and better armor would give him the edge.

When the Flood attack, they don't stop. They can revive themselves, use weapons, and jump ridiculously high. The Flood were so dangerous, the Forerunners believed the only way to defeat them was to wipe out all life in the galaxy.

Master Chief is already capable of taking down enemies who are stronger than Samus with melee attacks. Besides, he doesn't need to keep hitting her. All he needs to do is knock her back and fire his gun.

reply

Flood revival is limited. They stay down for good usually after the first time they revive or don't come back at all if rockets or explosives are involved. And using weapons isn't exactly rocket science. Plus Samus knows how to jump as well.

"The Space Jump is a highly advanced movement system that gives the Power Suit the ability to continually Spin Jump in the air. The Spin Jump generated by this upgrade is extremely quick -- Samus's crouched appearance during these jumps is blurred due to the extreme speed at which she is spinning. Samus can scale any height with this upgrade, and in combination with the Screw Attack, this upgrade becomes a deadly weapon."

That kind of jumping sounds more impressive to me. And it's yet another edge Samus has over Master Chief.

So now, we've covered Samus having superior weapons, speed/agility, armor, and now jumping. At this rate, you may as well whine that Master Chief is better in something more obscure, like file organization or rapping skills.

reply

This was never an argument over who would win between the Flood and Samus. There was a side debate involving the Flood and the Metroids and that's it. Why don't you stay on topic or just give up?

Oh boy, Samus can jump higher. When did I talk about Master Chief's jumping skills? I didn't. Most of Samus' abilities are just stylish and lack substance. While she's dancing around, Master Chief is nailing her with his battle rifle.

Master Chief can match Samus' arm cannon with the Spartan laser. You seriously believe her armor is superior? You're beyond deluded. Just admit that you only think Samus would win because she's a girl. What next, are you going to start claiming Zoe from Left 4 Dead could beat the Point Man from FEAR?

reply

No. I think she would win because she is far better armed/equipped than the Chief (power beam which can be charged OR fired rapidly, plasma beam, wave beam which phases through walls and solid objects to hit enemies on the other side, ice beam, super missles, seeker missles, etc; ALL of which are installed directly into her suit as opposed to Master Chief being limited to only two guns at a time so as not to significantly limit his mobility) and her armor allows her greater agility and more abilities as well (speed boost, screw attack, space jump, grapple beam, morph ball w/ bombs, etc.). And yet, even though I've demonstrated this time and again to you, all you do is throw a fanboy tantrum, accuse me of being gender biased, and ignorantly claim that MC would win regardless of the painfully obvious edge Samus has on multiple fronts. So don't give me that BS.

reply

You're taking up the attitude of someone who knows he's wrong, but is too arrogant to admit it. And that's sad. The Spartan Laser is strong enough to go through multiple enemies and tanks. It's Master Chief's answer to Samus' more powerful attacks. Again, you shown an inability to stick to one version of Samus. I guess she isn't strong enough in one incarnation, so you have to merge two versions of the character. All her armor allows her to do is perform fancy tricks that she can barely control.

You have NO rebuttal towards Master Chief's rechargeable shield. He can wear Samus' health down. She can't do the same. He'll always know where she is, thanks to his radar. You've dropped the argument of her being "stronger." I guess deep down you know Master Chief has more physical strength, but you won't admit it.

reply

- "You have NO rebuttal towards Master Chief's rechargeable shield."

It can be worn down to nothing by normal gunfire or bypassed entirely by rockets/missles, which Samus HAS.

- "The Spartan Laser is strong enough to go through multiple enemies and tanks. It's Master Chief's answer to Samus' more powerful attacks."

Congrats. Too bad Samus still has several more powerful weapon options to kill MC with. And she can carry them all at once instead of just 2 at a time.


- "All her armor allows her to do is perform fancy tricks that she can barely control."

She can control them just fine. Unless you the player suck at playing Metroid games.

- "Again, you shown an inability to stick to one version of Samus. I guess she isn't strong enough in one incarnation, so you have to merge two versions of the character."

I'm using weapons and abilities that are consistently found in most if not all Metroid games. And the funny thing is she still has MC outgunned, especially since he has a two-gun limit. But keep whining if you must.

"You've dropped the argument of her being "stronger." I guess deep down you know Master Chief has more physical strength, but you won't admit it."

Apparently, you ignored the vid of her pounding and wrestling to the ground monsters/aliens that were much larger than her. Her strength is clearly on par. And better still, she doesn't need to get behind them in order to do it.

- "You're taking up the attitude of someone who knows he's wrong, but is too arrogant to admit it."

I have no interest in taking up your attitude. Copycatting isn't my style.

reply

Master Chief can instantly kill Samus with a headshot from his battle rifle. She will not be able to recover if she gets hit.

Congrats. Too bad Samus still has several more powerful weapon options to kill MC with. And she can carry them all at once instead of just 2 at a time.


The Spartan Laser is more powerful than Samus' entire arsenal. Unless she has the Hammer of Dawn at her disposal, she's not going to be able to match the firepower of the Spartan Laser.

She can control them just fine. Unless you the player suck at playing Metroid games.


If she could control them just fine, she would be able to maintain her speed boost. Which isn't an ability of hers in Prime, but you need to merge the games in order to give Samus an edge.

I'd take quality over quantity any day of the week. Master Chief doesn't need all of these variations to win the day. You're merging Samus' abilities in different games because you know she's no match for John-117. But keep tripping yourself up if you must.

Apparently, you ignored the vid of her pounding and wrestling to the ground monsters/aliens that were much larger than her. Her strength is clearly on par. And better still, she doesn't need to get behind them in order to do it.


Clearly, you weren't paying very close attention to your own video. She wasn't overpowering the monsters with her fists. She's shooting them with her arm cannon. Because she was much smaller than them, she was able to get around the monsters' attacks. Master Chief is not significantly larger than her and she won't be able to dance around him.

I have no interest in taking up your attitude. Copycatting isn't my style.


You can't copycat an attitude I haven't been displaying.

reply

-"Master Chief can instantly kill Samus with a headshot from his battle rifle. She will not be able to recover if she gets hit."

Bulls**t. Her armor has withstood worse than that including highly destructive energy attacks from Ridley and Mother Brain, contamination from X parasites, and more. So a head shot from a normal assault rifle will barely slow her down. But I know you're going to ignore what Samus's armor has stood up to because you think you alone get to decide what its limits are instead of the series creators.

The Spartan laser may have more luck, but that thing takes at least 5 seconds to charge and Samus, being more agile and having a number of more efficient ways to kill him, is not going to give MC an easy target, let alone adequate time to use it.

It's as plain as day that she's strong enough to handle Master Chief.


And you know what? This debate should've ended a long time ago when I mentioned Samus had homing missles. If a goddamned rocket launcher is enough to kill a Spartan in one hit (shield or no shield), then Samus's seeker missles should do the trick just fine. And since they're homing, running isn't going to help MC. Yet the best you could do in response was claim that Chief had some voodoo bulls**t ability to redirect them at Samus even though there's been no indication whatsoever of him doing anything like that before. And that's only one way Samus can finish him off. So Chief loses. End of story. Thanks for playing.

reply

The only weapon MC has that can even wind Samus is the Spartan laser, and that's way too slow. Samus' armor can withstand WAY more than chiefs. I doubt MC could survive a hit from meta Ridley, while Samus can. Even a direct hit from the Spartan laser would only slow her down.

Samus stomps Chief, no question about it.

If Master Chief can survive a collision with a spaceship, he can easily survive being hit by Ridley. A direct hit from the Spartan laser would cut right through Samus' armor and kill her instantly.

Or he could just use the energy sword, which has a lunging attack.

Samus is going home in pieces.

reply

Master Chief's armor has withstood being smashed against a spaceship, after he got pushed forward by an explosion, contamination from the Flood, and physical attacks from Brutes and Elites. Samus' armor is not bulletproof and she's not unscathed from her encounters with those enemies. But her biggest weakness in her armor is her visor. It's more restricting than Master Chief's.

The Spartan laser may have more luck, but that thing takes at least 5 seconds to charge and Samus, being more agile and having a number of more efficient ways to kill him, is not going to give MC an easy target, let alone adequate time to use it.


Just like Samus' more powerful attacks with her cannon, but you were willing to overlook that. The strength of the laser lies in its ability to go through walls. The Chief would use it when Samus was taking cover.

It's as plain as day that she's strong enough to handle Master Chief.


It's plain as day- to somebody with an obvious mental problem.

None of those enemies are killed by physical attacks. When she gets the chameleon monster in a headlock, she instantly shoots it because she knows she can't hold on to it. All those videos prove is her strength is practically non-existent. She needs her arm cannon to kill her enemies.

And you know what? This debate should've ended a long time ago when I mentioned Samus had homing missles. If a goddamned rocket launcher is enough to kill a Spartan in one hit (shield or no shield), then Samus's seeker missles should do the trick just fine.

That "goddamned rocket launcher" was intended to destroy vehicles, not people. It's far more powerful than Samus' missiles. What John-117 could do is lure the chasing missile into Samus. Like when Frieza got cut in half by his own homing attack. Or he could just shoot them while they're in the air.

And that's only one way Samus can finish him off. So Chief loses. End of story. Thanks for playing.


That's the only way. She can't overpower him, her cannon needs to charge up to kill him instantly, he'll always know where she is, and you can't even stick to one incarnation.

Samus loses and nothing you say can change that.

Oh, I forgot. Chief is now a Super Saiyan who can fly and move at light speed. (/sarcasm). Apparently, you need to make stuff up now in order to have any hope of MC standing a chance. Oh, and if Chief tries to shoot the missles down, Samus will just switch to one of her many other weapons and blast him while he's busy doing that. It's basically a lose-lose situation for John.



-"Just like Samus' more powerful attacks with her cannon, but you were willing to overlook that. The strength of the laser lies in its ability to go through walls. The Chief would use it when Samus was taking cover. "


Too bad Samus's wave beam can go through walls too, and doesn't need to charge. So too bad for MC.



- "Master Chief's armor has withstood being smashed against a spaceship, after he got pushed forward by an explosion, contamination from the Flood, and physical attacks from Brutes and Elites."

you think brutes and elites hit hard? Samus has taken blows from Ghor, a cyborg monster strong enough to easily pick up Samus's spaceship and throw it around like a cheap toy. And I've already told you about the abuse it's taken from Ridley who actually scooped up Samus, slammed her against a reinforced wall and grinded her against it at breakneck speed. It didn't even scratch her armor or slow her down. THAT is how durable she is.

And if you think Flood contamination is bad, the X Parasites are worse.

**excerpt from Wikitroid**

"The structure of their bodies allow them to slip through the tiniest crevices of any organism or synthetic surface; their soft form also allows projectiles to harmlessly pass through them. Additionally, they have the ability to split into smaller colonies via asexual reproduction.

X are capable of infecting other organisms and mimicking their prey's DNA and memories. They do this by infecting the organism's nervous system where they then start reproducing at an exponential rate, killing the host creature in the process. Once that is accomplished, the X absorb the DNA of their host and are then able to use it to mimic their prey perfectly. Once they inhabit the body of their victim, one of the following three occurrences takes place:

* The X mutate their host and assume complete control over its body. Uninfected creatures within the BSL station are normally docile, but all turn against Samus once an X inhabits them. X Parasites react adversely to the presence of the Metroid cells within Samus and therefore will force their hosts to attack viciously and relentlessly.

* The X immediately digest their host, melting away its skin in a matter of seconds and leaving only its bones as remains. This occurred to a Hornoad in the Metroid Manga and presumably to Serris.

* The X induce a coma in their host and slowly kill their victim. This occurred with Samus Aran until the Metroid vaccine cured her.

Whichever the case may be, the X eventually leave their initial host in order to imitate it or to search for another host; the latter might result in the combination of multiple lifeforms' DNA (as with the Zombie researcher). The initial host's body is nevertheless consumed."

"One notable example of the X is the SA-X, or an X parasite that mimics Samus. Though the parasites in Samus's body were killed by the Metroid Vaccine, the corrupted components of her Power Suit were removed before the vaccine was administered. The SA-X was formed from those infected parts, and later broke out of its capsule on-board the BSL station with a Power Bomb, releasing all the remaining X inside and invades the entire station."

So the X is like the Flood, only they're completely immune to firearms (including rockets/missles), can self-replicate with little to no warning, can mimic the DNA, identity and abilities of whoever they infect (including Samus as well as her armor and weapons), and can get into just about any place and any organism through the teeniest of openings such as hair-thin cracks, or the pores on your skin. I would much rather fight the Flood than those.

Yeah, because explosive weapons are hard to destroy.

*sarcasm*

He wouldn't be firing multiple shots at the missiles.

Too bad Samus's wave beam can go through walls too, and doesn't need to charge. So too bad for MC.


Too bad it's not as strong as Master Chief's Spartan Laser and Samus' armor is still inferior.

Brutes hit hard. They use their entire body when they attack. Master Chief got shot TWICE by 343 Guilty Spark and survived. How is 343 Guilty Spark's attack any different from Samus' blasts?

And if you think Flood contamination is bad, the X Parasites are worse.


Okay, now you've changed continuity for a THIRD time. I thought the argument was between Metroids and the Flood, not an enemy that only appeared in one game.

reply

Yeah, because explosive weapons are hard to destroy.

*sarcasm*

He wouldn't be firing multiple shots at the missiles.


Yes he would, considering Samus can fire up to 5 of them at once.


Brutes hit hard. They use their entire body when they attack.

Really? That's your comeback? Still not as scary as something that tosses around an entire spaceship like it was made of plastic. And scarier still, since Ghor is a cyborg, when he charges, rocket boosters increase his momentum AND he has a forward mounted energy shield that does NOT deplete like Master Chief's. Fighting a Brute would be a vacation compared to that.



Okay, now you've changed continuity for a THIRD time. I thought the argument was between Metroids and the Flood, not an enemy that only appeared in one game.

It's actually the same timeline story-wise. The events of Samus's life go in this order:.... Metroid 1 > Metroid Prime > Metroid Prime: Hunters > Metroid Prime 2: Echoes > Metroid Prime 3: Corruption > Metroid 2: Return of Samus > Super Metroid > Metroid: Other M > Metroid Fusion

Too bad it's not as strong as Master Chief's Spartan Laser and Samus' armor is still inferior. I've already proven that Samus's armor is better than Chief's and can in fact withstand his laser (if she decides not to dodge it that is). And anyone who isn't a rabid Halo fanboy will agree with me.

reply

Yes he would, considering Samus can fire up to 5 of them at once.


Now how quickly could Samus fire those and switch back to another weapon? Games can't make their protagonists too strong.

It's better than your comeback, which conveniently ignored two points.

Master Chief survived a collision with one of the Marine's ships.

Master Chief survived being shot twice by 343 Guilty Spark.

Say, does Ghor's shield cover his whole body? And don't forget that Brutes don't attack the Chief alone.

It's actually the same timeline story-wise. The events of Samus's life go in this order:.... Metroid 1 > Metroid Prime > Metroid Prime: Hunters > Metroid Prime 2: Echoes > Metroid Prime 3: Corruption > Metroid 2: Return of Samus > Super Metroid > Metroid: Other M > Metroid Fusion


So why do her abilities differ in these games? I don't see her pulling off any fancy moves in Prime.

I've already proven that Samus's armor is better than Chief's and can in fact withstand his laser (if she decides not to dodge it that is). And anyone who isn't a rabid Halo fanboy will agree with me.


No you have not. Master Chief withstood 343 Guilty Spark's beam attacks. What, Samus' armor is better because she can survive being smacked around? No. Hell, I doubt her visor could withstand a punch from John-117.

reply

Now how quickly could Samus fire those and switch back to another weapon? Games can't make their protagonists too strong.

The missle launcher is built directly into her arm canon. So she can use her beam weapon right after firing missles.

No you have not. Master Chief withstood 343 Guilty Spark's beam attacks. What, Samus' armor is better because she can survive being smacked around? No. Hell, I doubt her visor could withstand a punch from John-117.

Her helmet/visor is as durable as the rest of the suit. It doesn't take any extra damage if she gets shot in the head. Too bad MC's does. And since she regularly takes blasts from bosses that could kill MC in one shot, a punch from your precious Spartan won't be nearly enough.


So why do her abilities differ in these games? I don't see her pulling off any fancy moves in Prime.

# Missile Launcher
# Morph Ball
# Charge Beam
# Morph Ball Bombs
# Boost Ball
# Space Jump Boots
# Wave Beam
# Super Missile
# Thermal Visor
# Spider Ball
# Wavebuster
# Ice Beam
# Gravity Suit
# Power Bomb
# Grapple Beam
# X-Ray Visor
# Ice Spreader
# Plasma Beam
# Flamethrower
# Phazon Suit




And that's just the first game in the Prime series. She gets even niftier abilities in the sequels.

reply

The missle launcher is built directly into her arm canon. So she can use her beam weapon right after firing missles.


Like I said, game protagonists can't be too powerful. The missiles must be as powerful as cotton balls if she's able to change up her weapons so quickly.

Her visor is more restricting than Master Chief's. Samus' enemies don't try to shoot her in the head. Put her against a squad of Jackals and she'll be down in one hit. Considering how Master Chief is strong enough to tear out a man's brain matter, he's certainly strong enough to shatter that green visor. And again, you have nothing to say about 343 Guilty Spark shooting the Chief twice.

And that's just the first game in the Prime series. She gets even more powerful as the series goes on.


When I said fancy moves, I was talking about all the jumping around she was doing in Other M. I was not referring to weapon abilities. Does she even have that many options for her cannon in Other M?

And Samus withstood Mother Brain's ultimate laser attack which is capable of killing a metroid in one shot. I told you earlier that the metroid species was invulnerable to weapons and it took a minimum of first freezing, then missles in order to kill them. Mother Brain killed one with her best attack. Samus actually survived THAT powerful of an attack from Mother Brain.

So let's compare. Mother Brain killed a Metroid without needing to freeze it first. Guilty Spark only managed to kill a normal human being.

So MC just barely surviving after Guilty Spark's attack isn't all that impressive by comparison. Samus is clearly more durable.

MC is a modified supersoldier with enhanced armor. He killed soldiers in a gym when he was like 11 or something, WITHOUT the armor or guns. You honestly think she's faster?

**from Wikitroid**

"Samus Aran’s infusion with Chozo DNA, as well as her warrior training since her childhood, has turned Samus into a superior physical specimen. Her training began at the age of 3 and continued up until she was 14 years old. As a result of the Chozo’s influence, Samus is capable of running and jumping heights far past normal human ability, as well as surviving falls that would otherwise kill an ordinary human. Samus is also more adaptive to foreign alien environments that humans cannot survive in. For example, she was able to breathe normally without her Power Suit on Elysia, despite the atmosphere being toxic to humans, though this is due to her alien DNA infusions. While Samus does not exhibit any inhuman powers (except for the aforementioned capability of surviving in alien environments), all of the normal human limits have been exceeded to the max. Samus also demonstrates good sharpshooting skills. She is an excellent marksman, with incredible aim, and is tremendously deadly in combat. She exhibits prodigious puzzle-solving and hacking skills. She also possess a limber figure that allows her to crawl through tunnels and gaps that would normally require usage of the Morph Ball. All of these are, of course, augmented further by her Power Suit."

Cool. This is from Halo Nation.

At the age of six, he was identified by Dr. Catherine Halsey as one of 150 preliminary candidates for the SPARTAN-II Program. John was an ideal physical and mental candidate, standing a head taller than the majority of his schoolmates, having greater physical proportions, possessing greater strength, exhibiting superior reflexes, and having an aggressive drive for success.

During his training, John quickly proved himself to be considered one of the program's top candidates. Both Dr. Halsey and Chief Mendez identified him as one of four emerging leaders within the Spartan-II group, along with Kurt-051, Jerome-092, and Frederic-104. Dr. Halsey expressed her belief the most strongly in John as having the skills and natural ability to lead the entire Spartan-II group, although Mendez disagreed, instead believing Kurt would fulfill that role.

When the Spartans were eight years old, they were sent on a training mission in which they were dropped over a forest located deep in one of Reach's snow-capped mountain ranges and expected to get safely to their extraction Pelican dropship. The children also had instructions to leave the last child arriving behind, or the punishment would be painful, but John-117 knew that he could not do that. After telling the Spartans where to meet, the Spartans looked to him as their leader, a role he was initially surprised to be given, but eventually accepted. When the group came upon the Pelican, it was guarded by armed men. Those men were actually UNSC Marines, but were not in uniform, thus leading the Spartans to mistake for a hostile threat. John showed early acumen in critical thinking and tactics, not wishing to take for granted that guards would be friendly toward them. He came up with a plan to take the men down, capture the dropship, and ensure the safe extraction of every team member, as he made sure he was the last person aboard. To do this he ended up hijacking the dropship with the help of Déjà, and beat down the men with stones, causing severe injuries among the Marines. Chief Mendez was not visibly pleased, as John had attacked his Marines and no one had been left behind. But both Mendez and Halsey recognized John's initiative, and promoted him to squad leader. After this, despite other Spartans rising in rank and at least a couple rising to lead their own teams, he remained the de facto leader of the Spartans as a whole.

At the age of fourteen, John underwent the dangerous SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures. These procedures caused 30 of the Spartan trainees to die, and 12 to become physically disabled. John was one of 33 Spartans who made it through the process unscathed, while the rest who could still operate were sent for jobs in the Office of Naval Intelligence. At only fourteen years old, it is said that John had a body of an eighteen-year old Olympic athlete; the augmentation process gave the Spartans faster reflexes, greater strength, enhanced eyesight, and made their bones nearly unbreakable. Following their augmentation procedures, John and the other Spartans were transferred to the Atlas in order to recover in a microgravity environment. During his first visit to the Atlas' gym, John was confronted by four ODSTs, whose sergeant then ordered the five of them into the boxing ring. In the ensuing fight, John killed two of the ODSTs, and left the others severely injured.

Though MC was no slouch when it came to training, Samus still managed to handle intense warrior training and biological enhancements starting at an EARLIER age (3-years-old) than John (6-years-old). So Samus has John beat in sheer talent also.

alright, many halo fanboys are CLEARLY underestimating Samus' armor. NONE of chiefs weapons can even scratch the paint on her armor, NONE. conventional ammunition is all but useless against her armor. Samus has shrugged off hits from Meta Ridley and mother brains beam attacks, witch AT LEAST matches the Spartan laser (The weapon that kills Chief in a single hit barley phases Samus at all). As for John 117 punching through her visor? that is ludacris. Kraid sat on Samus, and he weighs around 20-30 TONS! Samus' armor held up fine, and your seriously delousional if you think john can punch stronger than 30 tons. Samus could take a headshot from Chiefs Rocket launcher and barely flinch, she has survived WAY more fatal blows. Nothing Chief brings to the table can harm samus.

Samus could kill Chief rather easily on the other hand. She can fire up to 5 heat seeking missles at once, and its *beep* that you think he can shoot them out of the air. When has anyone played halo and shot rockets out of the air? let alone 5 heat seeking at once. Even if he could, all Samus would have to do is use her freeze ray, Chief is completley immoble then missle the crap out of him. her wave beam is at LEAST as strong as the Spartan laser and it doesnt need to charge.

Im not trying to be a fanboy, in fact I play more Halo than I do Metroid, but this fight isnt even close, Chief gets stomped 10/10 times.

Kraid's hands are too fat to hit Samus' visor. A plasma grenade, a swing of the energy sword, a rocket, and the Spartan laser will all kill Samus in one hit.

The rockets in Halo are stronger because they were intended to take down vehicles, not people. The Spartan laser is stronger than ALL of Samus weapons. It goes through walls, multiple enemies, and tanks. The only thing stronger than it is the Hammer of Dawn and Samus doesn't have one on her.

Considering how Master Chief held up just fine in artic conditions, the freeze ray is going to hold him for very long. Also, you neglected to note Master Chief surviving a collision with a heavy spaceship and being shot by 343 Guilty Spark's laser weapons.

If Littlefoot there can eat her to death, then I'm pretty sure that a hyper-velocity 12.7mm armor-piercing fin stabilized sabot fired out of Master Chief's sniper rifle into Samus' head would kill her. Or he could just twist her head off of her body.

If merely touching a snake creature is enough to kill Samus, what do you think a plasma grenade stuck to her face is going to do? All your arguments are weak.

You do realize that both those creatures were significantly bigger and tougher than any enemy in the Halo games. And it's still far less humiliating than Chief dying after a mere 20-foot fall. Hell, even a grunt (a retarded midget with a pistol) could kill Chief.

She may have started at an earlier age, too bad John caught on faster. He took on FOUR Orbital Drop Shock Troopers when he was 14. Next to the Spartans, the ODST are the toughest unit of the UNSC. What did Samus do when she was 14? She can't compare with John-117's training.

When you say invulnerable to weapons, you mean Samus' weapons, right? And which game are you talking about? Apparently, Mother Brain doesn't have any attacks of her own in the original Metroid and Samus only defeated her with the help of the Baby in Super Metroid. And before you claim Master Chief only beat 343 Guilty Spark because the Arbiter helped him, let me remind you that the Arbiter is useless in single player.

reply

okay you clearly didnt read my post correctly. Kraid did not punch her in the face, so is arm "being too fat" doesnt mean *beep* He sat on her, he weigh goddamn 30 tons. Samus' armor took 30 tons of pressure and didnt even buckle, 30 tons of all round pressure would cush a scorpion tank, let alone Chief. As for him surviving in arctic conditions, so what? surviving in a hostile enviorment is not the same as a CONCENTRATED FREEZE RAY. Chief would be immoble if he got hit.

You seem to be overhyping the Spartan laser. Samus' wave beam can do just as much damage and it doesnt need to charge. And no the laser/rockets would not kill her instantly, mother brains beam at LEAST matches the spartan laser if not exceeds it in power.and who gives a *beep* if his laser/rocket was 'made to destroy vehicles', samus' weapons have taken down monsters that yould eat a phantom in one chomp.

as for chief surviving Guilty sparks attacks, big whoop. Nothing impressed me about his beam, it barley killed a moderatley armored human. Samus could take sparks attack all day and not even notice she was under attack.

Im sorry, nothing John 117 brings to the table can trump Samus, Samus stomps chief over and over.

Okay, Kraid's ass is too fat to deliever a precise hit to Samus' armor. Master Chief has the strength to punch through a tank. I was making the point that the Chief wouldn't be immoble for very long.

Samus only beat Mother Brain because some baby Metroid helped her out. The Spartan laser is strong enough to go through multiple targets and kill them all. Master Chief's rocket launcher is stronger because it was meant to destroy bigger targets than living creatures.

If Samus got hit twice by 343 Guilty Spark, she'd be rolling on the ground.

Samus fighting Master Chief is like Claudia Cardinale trying to take on Charles Bronson.

False. Guilty sparks puny laser barley took Johnson down, it wouldn't even give Samus a sun burn lol xD

No, he wouldn't be immobile for long, but long enough to get hit by homming missiles or a wave beam.

The wave beam produces the same damage ad the laser (goes through multiple targets and buildings ex) and doesn't have to charge, so your argument is invalid.

And btw, he can't punch through a tank, he can mount a wraith/scorpion and bust through the hatch to get to the driver. BIG difference

All of her guns are literally built into her arm cannon and thus she can switch between them effortlessly. Chief needs to shoulder/holster his weapon and grab another one off his back or thigh in order to switch. Worse still, he limits himself to two guns. So not only is Samus better armed, she's more efficient with her weapons than Chief is with his.

Kind of contradictory gameplay-wise, because said tank can easily kill him by running him over without even having to move fast.

Samus can and has survived that kind of weight from Kraid, as angrymonkey already mentioned.

A fully powered Samus in Super Metroid has at least 14 energy tanks, and EACH has 100 units of energy (1400 energy total). That video shows her with just 9 units of energy left. Guess you rabid Halo fanboys need to handicap the hell out of Samus in order for Chief to stand a chance.

And that midget didn't even shoot poor Chief in order to kill him. He simply pistol whipped him in the shins.

When you say invulnerable to weapons, you mean Samus' weapons, right?

I meant just about all conventional weapons in futuristic settings like Halo's and Metroid's.

**from Wikitroid**

"Metroids are vicious creatures with no natural predators. They appear to be quite intelligent -- for example, when a Metroid is released into a room containing both Space Pirates and Samus Aran, it will attack the Space Pirates first as they are easier prey."

"Samus is one of the only two beings known to have survived a Metroid attack, the other survivor being Mother Brain by using an unknown 'resurrection' ability."

"Metroids have an endless appetite and will feed on any and all living creatures they come across with the exception of their own species. This immense threat is compounded not only by their invulnerability to most forms of weaponry, but also because exposure to extremely high amounts of beta radiation causes them to asexually reproduce via division much like a cell undergoing mitosis;...
Metroids have only one real weakness: an extreme sensitivity to cold temperatures. Once their membrane is frozen, it can be shattered by concussive weaponry (such as Missiles and Super Missiles), killing the Metroid."

So the alien space pirates, who are faster and stronger than ordinary humans and usually armed with energy weapons (pretty much like the Covenant), are like fodder for even baby metroids. Samus has single-handedly fought and killed fully developed Omega Metroids plus two Queen Metroids! Not to mention countless others both in various life stages and with different genetic modifications.

It doesn't matter if she had full health or 1 health. The video clearly shows Samus taking damage from TOUCHING an enemy. I'm thinking a couple assault rifle magazines to Samus' face would add up to a whole hell of a lot more than "1400 energy units." Hell, MC could just grope her to death.

This leads me to another point; Samus almost always goes into the field ill equipped for combat. She has to poke around looking for weapons and energy tanks. Well, what if those tanks aren't conveniently supplied? Do you think she's going to find these energy tanks on Earth, or even some neutral planet like "Gliese 581 d"? Nope. Samus is going to show up with no health and a crappy arm cannon, while MC is going to show up with regenerating energy shields, an armor piercing sniper rifle, an anti-tank rocket launcher and fragmentation grenades.

It doesn't look so bad to me.

When Samus touches them, she takes damage and they're fine. When Master Chief touches the infection form of the Flood, the Flood dies.

reply

The flood's infection form don't even have an exoskeleton, let alone piercing spikes. They're soft, squishy little vermin that really can only infect people and take control of them by making contact with their bare skin. It's just about impossible for them to do so if their prey is covered from head to toe. And compared to the far more dangerous X-Parasites (I told you about them a few pages ago), the Flood is rather unimpressive.

reply

The flood are capable of infecting Elites, therefore, they are able to harm armored opponents. There's no openings on Master Chief's armor, so he wouldn't really have to worry about X-Parasites.

reply

Again, the footage of the "midget" killing Master Chief isn't accurate. The person playing the game used a code to become a Grunt, but he retained Master Chief's abilites in the process. Notice the energy shield HUD? Meanwhile, Master Chief became a gimp because the player was no longer controlling him. Grunts don't use melee attacks anyways.

So Metroids are invulnerable to most forms of weaponry. Are they invulnerable to an energy sword? I doubt it.

I'm sorry, John would not survive a metroid attack. An energy sword would not harm a metroid.

reply

Yes I do know how strong they are, like I said I actually prefer halo to metroid, but character for character Samus clearly has the edge.

Samus fights space pirates all the time and they carry energy swords, she shrugs it off like they're nothing. A halo energy sword would maybe kill a baby metroid with multiple strikes, but no chance against a full grown.

Samus has the more durable and the most damage resistant armor. It has taken MUCH more punishment than chiefs ever has.

The flood are capable of infecting Elites, therefore, they are able to harm armored opponents.

Even armored elites have parts of their bare bodies visibly exposed (namely their mouths and parts of their legs and arms/hands). So of course they're more susceptible to infection. Samus's armor is enclosed enough to the point where she can survive and function in the vacuum of space. On that note, it's even secure and durable enough to allow her to survive wading through pure molten lava (as shown in many of the games).

reply

When Sergeant Johnson and Captain Keyes found an Elite who was killed by the Flood, his armored chest was torn open. Master Chief is also capable of functioning in space.

reply

Actually, I linked that because of the most recent comment.

I only find the pro-Chief argument slightly more bearabel becuase 1) as monotonous as there arguments may be, there at least based in some form of fact, and 2) I've yet to see a pro Chief argument on this wiki that actully was attacking and insulting the other character or there franchise.

Let me remind you that Master Chief is strong enough to turn a tank over, suffer no injuries after colliding with an all metal spaceship, beat up the best trained forces of the UNSC when he was just 14, and use a rocket launcher as a melee weapon.

Of course the Chief can rip off Samus' arm cannon. He has the strength to do so. What proof do you have of Samus' wave beam killing him instantly? You're overhyping her weapons.

Do I need to remind you that Kraid is too fat to deliver precise attacks on Samus' armor? You're dropping many of the points you brought up. Now you're just using vague reasons to explain why Samus' armor is "superior."

reply

How are my reasons any more vague than yours? Of coarse I have no proof the wave beam can insta kill chief, just like you have no proof chiefs laser/rockets can kill Samus

I'm making common comparisons between the games to make assumptions, for instance a Spartan laser instantly kills chief shield or no shield, Samus' closest weapon to the laser is her wave beam (produces around the same damage) so I can assume it would kill him In one hit, like the laser.

In the lore they're probably not the same strength, but the only proper way to conduct a character battle is to make comparisons and the wave beam seems as powerful as the laser aka insta kill

I have heard some ridiculous pro chief arguments lol like how he could take her down with a DMR shot to the face, witch doesn't even work on an elite in one shot.

I can assume Samus' armor is superior because it has taken more damage than chiefs. A shot from mother brain is AT LEAST as strong as the Spartan laser, and she can take multiple hits and still live, while the laser is a one hit KO to chief.

Chiefs armor is impressive, no doubt, but Samus' is clearly superior. It's flexible enough to turn into a ball, yet strong enough to withstand multiple hits from mother brain and Ridley, AND withstand over three tons of continual force.

Also, what PROOF do you have that the covenant energy sword is stronger than the space pirate energy sword? You have none, so for the sake of comparison we can say they are the same strength, hence Chief cannot kill Samus with the energy sword in one hit.

Master Chief's rockets are intended to destroy vehicles. They are also capable of killing Hunters. You should know how strong Hunters are.

So how would you know the wave beam produces the same amount of damage as the Spartan laser? Does it go through tanks?

The enemies Master Chief has been able to kill wear a lot more armor than Samus' enemies.

The only reason why Samus beat Mother Brain is because a baby metroid helped her.

Samus' armor is more flexible, but it is not stronger. She takes damage from just touching enemies.

What proof do I have? The energy swords kills all in enemies in one or two hits. Plus, it has a lunging attack. If it can cut right through Elite armor, Spartan armor, and Brutes, then it can cut through Samus' armor.

reply

And that is where I must disagree with you, I know hunters are strong and all, but With patience a pistol can take it down. Metroids are much more fearsome than hunters, like I said earlier only two people in history have survived a metroid attack, being Samus and motherbrain. With a little luck and descent shooting, even a regular marine can take down a hunter.

The wave beam produces pretty much the same result as the laser (goes through cover and multiple enemies ex), and we have no idea how it would preform against a vehicle, but judging by it's performance I would say it would do just fine. and even if the wave beam ends up doing piss poor against vehicles so what, she's not shooting at vehicles, she's shooting at Chief lol xD I'm pretty sure the wave beam will do it's job

And yes, the halo sword can go through Spartan armor, great! But we've never seen a proper comparison (how a pirate energy sword would hold up anoints Spartan armor, thus rendering your argument invalid. For pure arguement sake (and having NO conclusive data), im going to say they're about equal.

And I still have to disagree over the armor issue, while Chiefs armor isn't far off, it just cannot take the kind of shots samus' suit has taken. Chief would most likely not survive a shot from motherbrain lol

And yes Samus had help killin MB, but like chief never had any help -.- *cortana cough cough* not to mention he has the UNSC backing him up most of the time, while Samus is a lone wolf 99% of the time

First of all, Hunters don't attack alone. A regular marine would not be able to take them down. With a pistol, you mean the original pistol, right? How are you supposed to take them down in other games that don't have that pistol? There's a reason why Sergeant Johnson tells his men to stand back when two Hunters show up in the second game.

The enemies the wave beam goes through aren't as well armored as Spartans. If it does bad against vehicles, then that means the Spartan laser is stronger. It probably has the same effect as a fully charged plasma pistol on Master Chief.

Can the pirate energy sword cut through enemies in just a few hits? That's all you need to know to figure out what's the stronger sword.

You only assume Samus's armor is better because you believe the enemies in Metroid to be stronger.

What help does Cortana provide? She doesn't boost his abilities. The UNSC usually get killed by the end of the mission. Master Chief is the one fighting off a trained army.

reply

- MC: Even a small vehicle like a Warthog could kill Master Chief by running him over.

- SA: Samus can withstand being literally sat on by Kraid who's WAY bigger and heavier than a Scorpion Tank.


- MC: Chief actually got hurt by Guilty Spark's laser which didn't even kill a relatively normal human like Johnson right away.

- SA: Samus survived against Mother Brain's strongest laser attack. And that was BEFORE the metroid intervened to help Samus. Again, metroids are a species that only 2 beings (Samus and Mother Brain) have survived an attack from in a universe full of alien monsters. Mother Brain killed that metroid with her laser attack. And Samus has killed far stronger metroid forms (full grown Omega Metroids and the even more powerful Queen Metroids.)

- Samus has withstood blows and even missles from Ghor who was strong enough to easily pick up and throw her starship and kill a Space Pirate Berserker (big enough to make a Covenant Hunter look like a child in comparison) single-handedly with melee alone.


With all that in mind, Samus has been consistently shown to be more durable than Chief.

reply

Master Chief survived a high-speed reentry into Earth's atmosphere, followed by a full speed impact with the Earth.

When reentering Earth's atmosphere the space shuttle (which is designed specifically to slow down and push heat away in the atmosphere) experiences temperatures up to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. This is more than twice as hot as lava. The Chief's armor was never designed to do so and would therefor retain much of its speed, causing it to heat up past the point of 3000 degrees.

With the Chief's relatively aerodynamic armor providing very little aero-braking, he would be traveling several thousand miles per hour upon impact with the Earth's surface. A roughly 300 pound Spartan impacting the Earth at 3,000 MPH would generate 40,862 pounds of force.

The multiplayer characters aren't the same as Master Chief. Warthogs don't run over Master Chief.

Kraid is all fat, a Scorpion Tank is all metal. Kraid couldn't even kill a regular human by sitting on him.

Guilty Spark's laser still killed Johnson. A normal human would died right away. Johnson refused to die before he could help the Chief defeat Guilty Spark.

Samus would have died from Mother Brain's attack if the metroid didn't help. Those alien monsters aren't as dangerous as a powerful military force like the Covenant or the Flood, who never stop attacking.

Space Pirate Berserkers don't have the same amount of protection as Hunters do. A plasma grenade would have fried Ghor's circuits.

Either you didn't notice it or you tried to pull a fast one on me. It wasn't the steam that killed Samus. It was the fact that the countdown timer (in the top right of the screen) ran out. Once it runs out, the entire space station she's in self detonates.

"You left out the small detail that Chief needed to use a piece of the hull of the Dreadnought (a Forerunner Keyship) to protect himself. So even he knew damn well his armor wasn't strong enough to do the job."

You're right. I guess being crushed against a solid piece of metal with over 40,000 pounds of force would be better than crashing directly into the soft earth. Oh, no, it's worse. That's right.

My apologies. I just assumed that since Samus is impervious to all manner of alien energy beams, power rays, deadly microscopic organisms, energy swords and being sat on by fat people, she wouldn't even be phased by an explosion on a space station. In fact, I was assured by your previous posts that such an event would actually make Samus even more powerful and that such an explosion would be like an amusement park ride.

But wait, just after the player reloads the game Samus gets killed by what appears to be a praying Mantis shooting lightning-jizz. So, you're saying that Master Chief can shoot Samus in the face with a rocket launcher and she would be just fine, but I can clearly see that Samus is easily killed by:

Your argument that Samus' armor is stronger than chiefs doesn't hold up to 30 seconds of searching for videos on youtube.

Yes, Master Chief can be killed by things, but so can Samus. In fact, Samus can be killed by pretty much anything she touches. To sit there and say that MC has no chance against Samus shows some serious ignorance.

I'm not overhyping them. The Forerunners thought the only way to stop the Flood was to wipe out all life in the galaxy so the Flood would starve to death. Can any of Samus' enemies match that?

This is difficult to explain, so let me put things into perspective. If you press your finger against something metal, you'll have no physical effect on the surface. If you press your finger against body fat, your finger will go into the fat. The latter scenario is what happens when Kraid sits on Samus. His flesh is incapable of fully crushing her.

A phantom can be disabled with plasma grenades too- so, no.

reply

The X Parasites can and will possess any lifeform, assimilate its memories, DNA, appearance and abilities (they could even replicate the abilities and weaponry of Samus's suit), and then digest the host once they no longer have any use for it since by then they can mimic all of the aforementioned traits they assimilated from it, and even mutate them at will. Worse still, they self-replicate on their own (by dividing like cells) or EXPONENTIALLY within a host. Unlike flood units, they are immune to weapons due to their amorphousness. And bigger still, the whole reason why the metroids were originally created (by the Chozo who are a highly advanced alien race themselves much like the Forerunners) was to kill/eat the X Parasites in order to prevent them from spreading across the galaxy and assimilating all life in it. They became an imminent threat again once the metroids on the X Parasites' native planet were destroyed by Samus.

The second vid and latter part of the first vid starts with Samus down to 9 and 14 units of suit energy out of 1400 (it's almost like you're admitting that handicapping is the only way Chief can win). And the third is still far less humiliating than Chief at full health and shields dying instantly from a short fall.

nervmeister, I'm not saying that Samus would need to be handicapped for MC to win. I'm trying to illustrate that Samus' armor is hardly as impervious as you make it sound. If she takes damage, even just a little bit, from the boney spines on that enemy, why do you believe that MC's rocket launcher to her face would be harmless? If she takes damage from those lighting bolt things, why wouldn't she take damage from a spartan laser? If she's weak enough that she has trouble escaping the jaws of a dinosaur smaller than a T-Rex, why wouldn't a biomechanically augmented Spartan wearing a suit that allows him to punch through a main battle tank be able to damage Samus by punching her in the face, or crushing her?

Sure, you can bring up Mother Brain's laser, or other attacks from enemies in Metroid, but there is absolutely no way to gauge what kind of damage those attacks are actually doing. However, it should be easy enough to take a guess at how much damage those spines on that turtle thing should be doing. Even if they were made of some sort of super strong allow, Samus never makes hard enough contact with them that they should be piercing an "impervious" battle suit. Think of those dudes that stand on the sharpened blades of swords for exhibition. Those swords are infinitely harder than their flesh, and yet they don't cut through their feet because not enough force is being exerted. So, why is Samus taking damage from such a thing if her suit is so powerful?

And as far as dying from a fall, two of the three Halo games featuring Master Chief have him taking zero damage from falls of any height. Only when you try to leave the bounds of the level will you get killed from a fall. I think we can all agree that the game was programed that way in order to keep players from reaching areas they shouldn't and doesn't effect his ability to take a fall.

You're obviously just not getting it. If you weigh 200 pounds and you sit on a marble, is that marble under the pressure of your entire weight? No, it's not. Unless Kraid built a solid steel platform for himself to stand on, placed Samus on another steel plate, then balanced perfectly on top of her he would never be able to exert the entire force of his weight upon her. This isn't rocket science.

And sure, an unarmored human wouldn't be able to survive much of Kraid's weight, but to compare Master Chief to an unarmored human is stupid.

"Ghor could toss around a phantom like a plastic toy, so no a plasma grenades probably wouldn't bother him much."

Did you know that plasma grenades have a secondary EMP effect that can disable electronics? So not only would the plasma burn and melt him, the EMP would fry his electronics.

anyways back to the actual topic, While the flood is impressive in their power to infect a galaxy, I think the Metroids have them beat (or at least matched) . The flood can be killed by conventional ammunition, while a Metroid is almost invincible unless frozen. As for flood vs Metroids, it would all depend if the flood could infect the metroids or not. IMO if X can't infect the Metroids, neither can the flood, but you never know.

If the flood CAN infect the metroids, the flood wins by sheer numbers, if they can't i think the Metroids take it. If you involve Gravemind and Metroid Prime, then we have a diffrent story.

Yeah... I take back my remark about Kraid not being able to kill a regular person. If he sat on Master Chief, I'll still argue that it won't be enough to put him out of commission.

To me, the Flood are more dangerous because of how the Forerunners reacted to their presence. Is there anyone in the Metroid universe who wants to wipe out all life to starve the Metroids?

There's also the Covenant, who I consider to be a bigger threat than most of Samus' enemies because they're a highly trained military force and they've done tremendous damage towards humanity. Other than the Metroids and X, what creatures in Metroid could stand up to them?

reply

Well the space pirates can be fearsome, but the covenant would probably win out of sheer force in numbers. I stand by my statement that if the flood can't infect the metroids the metroids would probably win.

If Master chief can survive a fall from orbit, I doubt Kraid would be able to crush him either, hence proving both chiefs and Samus' armies can both resist AT LEAST 3 tons of pressure.

I stand by my statement that if the flood can't infect the metroids the metroids would probably win.

The Metroids were originally bred for the purpose of killing the X Parasites, so if those couldn't infect them, the Flood aren't going to fare much better.

Sure, you can bring up Mother Brain's laser, or other attacks from enemies in Metroid, but there is absolutely no way to gauge what kind of damage those attacks are actually doing.

So lemme get this straight. Even though Ghor killed a Space Pirate Berserker (much larger than any covenant unit) singlehandedly and tossed Samus's ship with virtually no effort, Samus withstanding direct blows and weapon attacks from him doesn't prove anything? Whereas if a similar argument is made in favor of Chief, it's perfectly legit? If that's the case, then you've obviously put a double standard in place.

reply

really the most impressive thing I've seen Chief take was surviving a fall from orbit (and recovering quickly from it), though he seems to be kind of fragile against laser/beam technology (Spartan laser is a 1 hit KO to chief, and guilty spark hurt him with his little laser). This makes me come to the conclusion Chiefs suit is incredibly resilient to blunt force trauma and can withstand intense heat of reentry. Chief also seems descently resilient to conventional ammunition, but he seems to buckle under laser/beam technology, wich Samus has.

So while a melee attack from Samus would probably not hurt chief that much, a good ol' wave beam should be able to take him down (considering my theory is right).

Samus' suit on the other hand is very resilient to laser/beam tech, hence being able to survive direct hits from mother brain and meta Ridley. Considering this I'm doubtful the Spartan laser could take her down (and if it could, it would at least take multiple shots). I think chiefs rocket launcher is his best bet for taking on Samus, though if you ever play multiplayer you know it can be dodged, and Samus is definatley agile. If she did get hit with the rocket, I doubt it would kill her instantly, but it would probably do more damage than the Spartan laser. Samus has also fought space pirates with energy swords, so I don't think chiefs sword would be much of a game changer, and even if it was I doubt he could close the distance without getting laser whipped or hit with something.

Samus has the tools to lay a beatdown on chief, though when it comes down to it they are both great warriors, neither will win this without getting banged up a bit.

I am curious as to what a plasma grenade would do against Samus, I doubt he would kill her with just one, but what would be the secondary effects on her armor? And speaking of armor what suit is Samus wearing for this fight? I'm going to assume her Varia suit, Because if she was wearing her phazon suit I doubt chief would be able to Win, but it would at least be competative in her Varia suit.

Master Chief does not have a weakness towards laser beam technology. The Spartan Laser destroys anything that gets in its way. Guilty Spark's laser is little? What are you, a propaganda minister? If you think his laser was LITTLE, I'd love to see what you consider medium sized.

So I'd say your theory is wrong. Especially when you consider how laser weapons are usually heat based and Master Chief survived the heat of reentry.

The Spartan Laser is able to go through numerous enemies and vehicles. It would easily kill Samus instantly, just like the Rocket Launcher would. I'm not saying the Rocket Launcher would be able to hit Samus, but when it's capable of obliterating vehicles in one hit, it's going to take down Samus. The Space Pirates don't have the technology to make their energy swords as strong as the ones the Covenant uses. He would easily be able to close the distance because the Energy Sword has a built in lunging attack.

Of course a plasma grenade would kill in one hit. Why wouldn't it? And Samus' need to upgrade her armor just goes to show you that's she not fully prepared to take down all of her enemies.

reply

Didn't you say Chief got contaminated by the Flood before?


No, I said the Flood can infect armored enemies. They never have been able to contaminate the Chief. If they did, the game would have ended abruptly.

Also, when you think about it the Chozo were basically smarter or at least more resourceful than the Forerunners in that they managed to contain a parasitic galactic threat WITHOUT resorting to mass murder. p


Maybe that's because the Flood can't truly be contained. Which would make them the more dangerous species.

The Metroids were originally bred for the purpose of killing the X Parasites, so if those couldn't infect them, the Flood aren't going to fare much better.


The Flood can harm armored beings and the X Parasites can't. So who knows what would happen if the Metroids and Flood fought each other.

Larger doesn't mean stronger. How many attacks from him was she able to withstand?

reply

Well guilty sparks laser was little compared to some of the beams Samus has survived lol :P Johnson wasn't even killed instantly by it, and he may be badass but he's no superhuman.

Sure the Spartan laser is strong and everything, but no stronger than a beam from motherbrain (wich Samus survives, so the 1 hit KO is invalid). I have explained before that the wave beam pretty much matches the Spartan laser in firepower AND it doesn't have to charge. Samus' suit is particularly resistant against beam/laser tech, so the laser probably wouldn't kill her in one hit, may take her shields, but it won't kill her, and while chiefs charging that second shot he's gonna take a wave beam. Bye bye chief.

As for the swords, what proof do you have that the halo sword is stronger? Sure it goes through halo armor just fine, but we've never seen the pirate sword against halo armor, so to say one is stronger than the other with no proof is pure fanboyism. The lunge attack is an advantage, but samus' whip can reach further than the lunge attack, so chief may not even be able to get close enough to lunge.

Samus survived her ship exploding, so I'm pretty sure she could take a rocket without being insta killed (assuming it could actually hit her). Sus has shrugged off bigger booms than a plasma grenade, so it probably wouldn't kill her, but since it can effectively disable vehicles I'm wondering what the secondary effects would be on her armor.

And having multiple suits isn't a weakness, it's called being prepared. If Samus was in her Phazon suit or light suit, chief would stand no chance. If she was in her fusion suit or zero suit chief would probably win. The Varia suit is her only suit that makes this match competitive.

I'll say it again. Ghor threw a spaceship. That means he's strong. Stop denying it. And even on HARD difficulty Samus can withstand a lot of attacks from him.




The Flood can harm armored beings and the X Parasites can't. So who knows what would happen if the Metroids and Flood fought each other.The X Parasites could easily harm and of course assimilate the DNA of any armored Covenant unit since parts of their bodies are exposed. Chief is more thoroughly covered, but that's no guarantee, given the X Parasites ability to morph through impossibly small openings. They still might get in through the apparatus Chief uses to breathe air from habitable environments. And as for the Metroids, they were engineered to be completely immune to parasites such as the Flood and the X Parasites (both of which infect hosts by bonding with its nervous system). And VERY few forms of weaponry hurt them at all (freezing weapons combined with concussive weapons like missles being one exception). Whereas even a regular old assault rifle could kill a Flood combat form.

Maybe that's because the Flood can't truly be contained. Which would make them the more dangerous species.

The X Parasites don't need specialized infection forms in order to reproduce their numbers. All can literally self-replicate on their own without a host, and even moreso when in a host.

reply

It's still not little and Sergeant Johnson is not an ordinary human. He wasn't killed instantly because he refused to die before 343 Guilty Spark was destroyed for good.

The Spartan Laser cuts through everything. Armored enemies, tanks, everything. Can the wave beam do that? Can Mother Brain do that? And how many hits can Samus withstand from Mother Brain? I've already disproven your "laser weakness" theory; the wave beam isn't going to kill the Chief in one hit. It's more likely that the Spartan Laser will destroy Samus in one hit.

Like the Spartan Laser, the energy sword is stronger because it cuts through all enemies. I haven't seen any impressive feats with the pirate sword. Plus, the Covenant clearly have more technology at their disposal than the Space Pirates do. They can afford to make the superior sword. See the space in the sword? If Master Chief can't get close enough for a lunge attack, then he can at least disarm Samus when she tries to attack him by trapping her whip in the space.

At the very least, a plasma grenade would disable Samus' armor. But the Rocket would instantly kill her. If it can take down Hunters, which are far stronger than Samus, then it can take her down.

Master Chief is already prepared with his suit. He doesn't need any upgrades to take down all of his enemies.

I'm not denying anything. You didn't specify how many attacks Samus can withstand. Nor did you prove that she's able to shrug off his blows on hard mode.

You appear to have missed one of my earlier points. The Flood were able to bury themselves into an Elite's stomach. That's an armored area. It's possible, but not likely that the X Parasites could get through Chief's armor. After all, he's able to breathe perfectly while he's in space. Metroids were made to be immune to X Parasites. The Flood don't exist in that universe and there's no way of telling for certain that the Flood couldn't infect them. They may be weak on their own, but they're large in numbers and they never stop attacking.

The X Parasites don't need specialized infection forms in order to reproduce their numbers. All can literally self-replicate on their own without a host, and even moreso when in a host.


Then why do the Flood appear to attack in larger numbers?

In this vid (it says Hard Mode in the description), she starts at half of her maximum health and yet she withstands a bunch of his attacks including plasma fire, missles, lasers, getting jump-stomped on, a full body charge, a spinning blade attack, etc. So there's your proof. Samus is NO joke in the durability department.


The Flood were able to bury themselves into an Elite's stomach. That's an armored area.Chances are, it was a combat form that did that. Not those tiny infection forms. If it was, that Elite would've been moving around under the Flood's control. It wouldn't be a prone corpse anymore.

Metroids were made to be immune to X Parasites. The Flood don't exist in that universe and there's no way of telling for certain that the Flood couldn't infect them. They may be weak on their own, but they're large in numbers and they never stop attacking.

The Flood and the X Parasites are similar in one key area which is the fact that both bond with a host's nervous system in order to infect. The metroids were engineered to be immune to this method of infection, so therefore, it's only logical that the Flood cannot infect them.

I'm not denying anything. You didn't specify how many attacks Samus can withstand. Nor did you prove that she's able to shrug off his blows on hard mode.


That's not proof. At 1:50, Samus' health is at 69. At 1:56, her health goes up to 94. Whoever was playing the game healed her.

What this video does prove is Ghor isn't as strong as you made him about to be. Sure, he threw a spaceship. But he was struggling to lift it and the ship was not destroyed. Instead, it flew away.

The Flood would have needed to infect the Elites first. That was the first time the Flood attacked the Covenant on that Halo structure. Only an energy shield is able to stop the Infection forms.

The X Parasites don't have tentacles that go through just about anything. The Metroids were only engineered to be immune to the X Parasites, the Flood are a different species. There's no real way to confirm whether or not the Flood's Super Cell could overwrite the Metroid's DNA.

I told you already how Samus's health works. There are 14 energy tanks, each with 100 units of energy. Starting from 100, a tank takes damage from enemies until it drains down to zero. Once that happens, that tank disappears and the next remaining tank starts from 100 again. This pattern repeats until all tanks are completely drained.

reply

This is what I was saying earlier. There is no way to know if the flood can infect the metroids,(I doubt it since X can't, but you never know) if they can the flood will win out of sheer numbers, if the can't the metroids desimate the flood. Metroids are much harder to kill (being nearly impossible to kill without freezing). Only two beings in existence have survived a metroid attack, being Samus and motherbrain, while there have been lots of people who have survived a flood attack (anyone armed and lucky enough in fact). The two big things the flood has going is they can infect hosts (making more of them) and there's just so damn many of them, other than that the metroids outclass them in every way. If they can't infect the metroids, all they have going for them is there numbers.

As for Samus' armor, if she can take multiple hits from a cyborg who can throw a spaceship (Ghor on the hardest difficulty) that completely dismissed the argument that Chief could punch through her armor/ rip apart her armor, it's just too sturdy. Chief is incredibly strong, but he can't toss a spaceship, and even if he could Samus' could still take multiple hits.

More people have survived Flood attacks because those people were part of the military. The Metroids attack weaker foes. And don't forget about how explosive the Carrier forms of the Flood are.

Ghor could barely toss that spaceship. He didn't damage it. Master Chief can flip over tanks effortlessly.

The Galactic Federation Military sent soldiers to SR388 (The home world of the metroids) to exterminate the species. All of those soldiers basically got slaughtered. The Federation then decided to send Samus ALONE to deal with the problem because they didn't want to lose any more men.

Master Chief (and the Arbiter) doesn't even touch the vehicles. They flip over on their own at a button prompt. So it's really more of a mechanic to make vehicle gameplay less tedious for players. That and I did a bit of research on the Spartan IIs

**from Halo Nation**

"The SPARTAN-IIs are capable of lifting three times their body weight, which is double the normal weight of an average human due to the ceramic bone augmentations,"

In his official bio from the Halo 3 Beasturium, Master Chief's body weight is around 395 pounds (post bone augmentations). Now, we triple that number to 1185 pounds. That's how much John without his MJOLNIR exoskeleton can lift. Now we add the exoskeleton into the mix. The same source I quoted above states that MJOLNIR allows a Spartan II to double his lifting capacity. So we double the last number we produced and get an armored Master Chief's maximum lifting strength, which is a total of 2370 pounds. The bad news is that even a light tank from way back during World War II weighs around 3.1 tons (6200 pounds) and the weight only gets dramatically heavier as we move from light tanks to medium tanks and to heavy tanks (a modern M1 Abrams weighs approximately 134,000 pounds). Imagine how much an even larger futuristic tank like the Scorpion must weigh. So unless they either found an insane alloy or created an ant-gravity device for allowing a tank that big to be as light as an extra-small car (like this: http://verticulturedesigns.com/images/More%20Page/Travel/Europe%20WSU/ Mini%20Car%20Bilbao%20Spain.jpg), the idea Chief being able to flip a Scorpion is pretty preposterous, even for the sci-fi standards of the setting.


















reply

As nervmeister said, a Spartan II can lift around 1500lbs, tanks are way heavier. Being able to flip tanks in the game is purly for gameplay purposes, just like how he dies when he hits water. We all know the real chief would probably have the ability to breathe underwater, but it's just to keep players in the map. The real cannon chief couldn't lift a tank, a warthog maybe, but not a tank. This being said, Samus' ship is most likely as heavy if not heavier than a scorpion tank, and Ghor lifted it, hence Ghor is stronger than chief. This proves Samus could handle a melee attack from chief, so no punching through armor :P

But as I pointed out earlier, Samus' melee attack probably wouldn't hurt chief much either because his suit can resist the blunt force of falling from orbit.

This isn't Dragonball Z. Training would make Chief stronger like it would anyone else, but not nearly enough to flip a tank. It completely contradicts the descriptions of how much extra strength the Spartan implants and MJOLNIR will allow.

Visors and gas masks are obviously not the same thing. Visors can arc along the contours of the wearer's face and past the outer corners of the eyes to allow peripheral vision. The circular eyeholes in gas masks don't extend as far and protrude outward, therefore restricting vision to only what's directly in front of the wearer's face (tunnel vision). And the point is moot anyways considering that almost all human combatants in both Metroid and Halo wear visors and apparently have no complaints about vision.

Any military unit can be part of a squadron. And since Marines are used heavily in the Galactic Federation's more dangerous affairs, they most likely were part of it. Especially since the term "Special" (as in special forces) is used to designate said squadron.

The only people in Halo that wear visors are the Spartans and ODSTs. The Spartans' visors are bigger, allowing superior vision compared to Samus. But this is mostly all irrelevant because it wasn't the Federation Marines who got wiped out in Metroid II.

Yes there is. 6 times a Spartan's body weight (in MC's case, somewhere around 2370 lbs) is the limit. There isn't some magical upgrade or training regimen that makes them lift in upwards of 50,000-100,000 lbs (what most modern tanks weigh).

The true range of Chief's vision is emcompassed by the visor-shaped outline. If Master Chief had exactly the player's vision, he'd get confused every time he took a machine gun turret off of a Warthog, since the camera switches to 3rd person.

But on topic, have you read the halo books? If you read fall of reach you would know that chief isn't the physically strongest of the Spartan II's, or the fastest. He was definatley in the top of his class, but he wasn't the most impressive. He was the leader because he was one of the smartest and he had good leadership skills. He was able to accomplish as much as he did because in combination with his Spartan II skill set, he was also incredibly lucky. Cortana even confirms this in the 3rd game.

Checked again. It's legit. Turns out that's simply an outlined section of the whole visor (it matches corresponding, faint line markings on the outside of it). So I'll give 1 point to Chief for having a bigger visor in his favor. However, Samus's visor does have scanning and x-ray capabilities.

reply

I should add that's the only Halo 3 screenshot I could find with an outline and it's from a multiplayer match. My guess is that outline was only used in the Beta and it didn't make it to the final game.

I can see the advantage of Samus having X-Ray vision, but I don't see how scanning is going to help her. The reason why Master Chief dies from headshots is because the bullet has armor piercing capabilities.

So? It's probably not a good thing that Master Chief at full health and shields is vulnerable even to pistol weapons while Samus at full suit energy can take so many shots from the weaponry of boss-level opponents.

reply

The only pistol weapons he's vulnerable to are the original one from the first game and a fully charged plasma pistol (which doesn't hurt his health, only his shield).

reply

A fully charged plasma pistol shot takes away his shield entirely. From there, Chief's health can be drained rather quickly from normal gunfire.

reply

But, the fully charged shot does no real damage. All it can do is drain his shield.

reply

Still a not-so-good sign when even a pistol wielded commonly by Grunts can do away with a fully charged Spartan shield that easily. And Samus, being armed to the teeth, will be even less forgiving than that.

reply

Grunts aren't that weak. They're able to carry Fuel Rod Cannons. Besides, they're not able to charge their pistols fully.

The fully charged plasma pistol is more like a taser than an actual gun. It's designed to disable Master Chief's shield, but not actually kill him.

reply

The fully charged plasma pistol is more like a taser than an actual gun. It's designed to disable Master Chief's shield, but not actually kill him.

Perhaps. But then again, Samus already has missles, bombs, and her more powerful beam variants (all of which are integrated into her suit). I'd say that kind of firepower is more than sufficient enough against Chief.

reply

She just needs to get an instant kill.

If not, he's going to bring her down.

reply

She just needs to get an instant kill.

Why do you think I mentioned Samus having bombs, missles, and high level beam modes which, in addition to other weapons and tools, are all installed directly into her suit?

If not, he's going to bring her down.

Again, that's not likely considering Samus's aforementioned weaponry, the vast protective energy reserves of her suit, and the raw experience she's had single-handedly defeating many superpowered alien entities and abominations (Ridley, Emperor Ing, Dark Samus, Ghor, Quadraxis, Rundas, Kraid, Mega Core-X, Queen Metroid, Gandrayda, Prime Metroid, Phantoon, Nightmare, etc.). And quite a few of those menaces have returned mutated into even more powerful forms (Ridley especially), only to be beaten by Samus again. And that's aside from all the space pirates and metroids she's routinely killed. And even they both have various heavily mutated/upgraded forms of their own. The metroids in particular are dangerous to the point where Samus and Mother Brain are the only two individuals in the known universe who have even survived attacks from any of them. With ALL that in mind, it's as plain as day that Master Chief can't win this one.

reply

The only thing that can take him down is the bomb. But it's big, bulky, and Samus can only activate it while she's in her ball mode.

Master Chief is the one fighting a war. His training is superior and he's smarter. Bigger doesn't mean stronger. He's defeated a real army and took out the Flood, along with the Halo ring containing them. Physically, he's stronger and his weapons are meant to go through armor. His health recharges, Samus' doesn't.

Samus Aran taking on Master Chief is like Claudia Cardinale taking on Charles Bronson. She has no chance at winning.

reply

Samus was a soldier at one point. She was trained by the Chazo, a super advanced alien race. Samus is no slouch, while Personally I think that, yes Chief has some intese training under his belt, I think samus' training is comparable. I do agree that chief IS stronger, but Samus has the superior weapons and armor.

Chiefs armor seems to fold rather quick under conventional ammo, while Samus' is all but impervious to conventional ammo. Most of chiefs weapons wouldn't even crack her armour (Any one that fires conventional ammunition).

The only weapons in Chiefs arsenal that would be effecive would be the rocket launcher and the spartain Laser, all of his other guns may as well be BB guns against Samus.

The Spartan Laser would get to her sooner or later, but It would NOT kill her in one shot. Samus has taken full on shots from Mother brain AND meta ridley, whos beams match, if not surpass the spartan laser. On the other end of the pole, Samus has the wave beam. It produces the same amount of damage as the spartan laser AND doesn't have to charge, So samus would be able to one shot chief.

The rockets would also take multiple shots, Samus survived her ship exploding, a much more devistating explosion than a single rocket blast.

Chiefs Melee wouldn't do much either, considering that she has taken hits from Ghor who can lift a spaceship. My point is, yes chief is big and strong, but Samus has taken down bigger and stronger.

And honestly, if a freaking magnum can kill chief, Samus' weapons could do it too, so saying that the only weapon that can take him down is Samus' bomb is PURE fanboyism.

And no, Samus taking on Chief would be more like muhammad ali vs mike tyson, Tyson is bigger and stronger, but Muhammad is faster, more agile, and able to take him down.

Master Chief isn't a soldier. A soldier fights for the Army. You know what Army stands for?

Aren't Ready For Marines Yet. And Master Chief is better trained than the Marines.

Kidding aside, Master Chief was accomplishing more impressive things when he and Samus were young. Like beating up a group of ODSTs.

The reason why Master Chief's armor is less effective against conventional ammo is because the conventional in the Halo games are stronger than the plasma weapons. The bullets are specifically designed to pierce through armor. Samus isn't going withstand shots from a shotgun or sniper rifle.

Last I checked, a shot from Mother Brain nearly destroyed Samus and she only survived with the help of a baby Metroid. The Spartan laser destroys everything in its path. If it can shoot through multiple Spartans and destroy a tank in one hit, it's going to kill Samus with one shot.

Was Samus right next to the explosion in her ship? If not, it's not as powerful as the rocket launcher.

Considering how Master Chief can flip tanks over and Ghor's legs were shaking under the weight of the spaceship (which he couldn't even destroy), I'd say Master Chief is just as strong, if not more, than Ghor.

If you're talking about Halo 1's pistol, that's a strong gun. If you're talking about Halo 2's pistol, it can kill the Chief, but it takes numerous bullets to bring him down. The bomb is the only weapon that can kill him in ONE HIT.

Uhhhh, Mike Tyson is 5'10 and Muhammad Ali is 6'3. Ali's dominance in the ring came from an ability to move quickly, despite being so big. As a result, he was able to deliver punishing blows in a short amount of time. Samus can't do that. She's not bigger or stronger than Master Chief.

reply

The only thing that can take him down is the bomb. But it's big, bulky, and Samus can only activate it while she's in her ball mode.The ONLY thing? Are you *beep* serious? So you're saying that Chief is now magically immune to missles and plasma, even though they've been clearly shown to harm him in his own series?

His training is superior and he's smarter.Samus started training at a sigificantly earlier age than Chief (3 years old as opposed to 6) and was already well past the physical limits of ordinary humans and suited up by the age of 14 whereas Chief was still undergoing augmentation procedures by that age. So she's significantly more adept than Chief is.

He's defeated a real army and took out the Flood, along with the Halo ring containing them.That's nice. But Samus defeated the Space Pirate forces and Metroids ON THEIR OWN HOMEWORLDS. In the latter's case, she destroyed the entire metroid species on planet SR388 single-handedly. AND later, she came back and actually annihilated the whole planet in order to wipe out the X-Parasites (who would've infected all life in the galaxy had they gotten offworld). And then we have the extensive list of especially dangerous otherworldly menaces she's defeated. These threats aren't simply just aliens with guns like the Covenant. They are capable of things such as gravity manipulation, generating and manipulating ice and cold, shapeshifting, teleportation, interdimensional phasing and summoning, planet-wide energy absorbtion, and more. And she has fought them all face-to-face. Chief is out of his league.

Physically, he's stronger and his weapons are meant to go through armor. His health recharges, Samus' doesn't.Strength is debatable, but Samus's armor has been shown to take plenty of hits from things as strong or stronger than missles with only moderate effect on her health whereas Chief can die in ONE hit from such firepower. So his regeneration won't do much good against Samus who DOES have that kind of firepower. I already proved her durability to you by showing her battle with Ghor, but apparently you tend to ignore the evidence that proves you wrong and continue running your mouth.

reply

That's the only thing that will kill him in ONE HIT. Check my earlier post. The Covenant's missles and plasma fail to kill him with one blow.

So Samus started training THREE YEARS before Master Chief. Big deal. That's not sigificantly earlier age. When Master Chief was 14, he took out five ODSTs, the most elite unit next to the Spartans, with his bare hands. Goes to show you that Master Chief catches on faster than Samus does.

The Halo ring IS the Flood's homeworld. There's Graveminds under them for a reason. When Master Chief destroyed the ringworld, he was on his own. There were no humans helping him. Even when his enemies were fighting each other, he had to take on the faction that won the fight. So Samus' enemies can do all fancy things. The Covenant kill people. They don't put stylish attacks over substance. Put Samus against a professional army like the Covenant and she'll last around the same time a single Marine in the Halo games does.

Master Chief dies from missiles because they're stronger. They're intended to destroy everything, just like the Spartan laser. Samus does not have the same amount of firepower as the Spartans have. I haven't ignored any of your evidence. Ghor's legs were buckling under the spaceship's weight and he didn't destroy it. He's not as strong as you make him out to be.

The Covenant kill people? WOW. Now that's *beep* amazing! Let's give them all an award for inventing that. And you have this annoying habit of confusing "style" for raw ability and power. By the way, the Space Pirates are indeed an indeed a militarized species (on a genetic level in fact), complete with militia, troopers, elite commandos, even more elite and upper ranking commander pirates, and ultimately the High Command which consists of powerful beings such as Ridley and Mother Brain. So yeah, the Space Pirates are indeed a highly organized military force that Samus has soundly defeated. So don't give me that bullcrap about Samus or her enemies having no substance.

At least Mother Brain's laser was capable of taking out a metroid, a species which even in the larval (baby) stage is insanely resistant or invulnerable to most forms of weaponry. And Samus at least managed to withstand an earlier shot or two from it before said baby intervened. If that same blast were to hit Chief even once, he'd be a goner, period.


Was Samus right next to the explosion in her ship? If not, it's not as powerful as the rocket launcher.
No......She was INSIDE it when it exploded.

So Samus started training THREE YEARS before Master Chief. Big deal. That's not sigificantly earlier age. When Master Chief was 14, he took out five ODSTs, the most elite unit next to the Spartans, with his bare hands. Goes to show you that Master Chief catches on faster than Samus does. No it doesn't. All it proves is that the bio-augmentations did their job in making Chief physically superior to a normal human being. But I already told you that Samus too has had her strength and speed augmented. The difference is that it was done through genetic modification via Chozo DNA instead of implants and chemical treatments like Chief underwent.


Considering how Master Chief can flip tanks over and Ghor's legs were shaking under the weight of the spaceship (which he couldn't even destroy), I'd say Master Chief is just as strong, if not more, than Ghor. Master Chief CANNOT flip over tanks. The information on both Chief's and MJOLNIR's combined lifting capacity completely contradicts what you're saying. Not to mention that all the player does is walk up to it have Chief point his gun at it, and the tank magically flips over on its own. So unless you can prove to me that Master Chief can move objects with his mind, just don't even bother.

reply

Nowhere in the Cannon storyline (books or games) has chief ever flipped a tank. He's not strong enough. That's in the game PURLY for gameplay purposes so the player doesn't get stuck. Saying that's cannon is like saying chief dies when he hits water is cannon.

No, he can't flip a tank.

As for ghor, your splitting hairs here. Bottom lime, he still threw a spaceship.

He's strong, no matter what twist you put on it.

Where does it say he can't flip a tank? Nowhere. You don't get stuck if you lose the tank. It just makes the game harder.

I didn't say Ghor wasn't strong.

I'm saying he's not as strong as you've made him out to be.

Good job, you completely missed my point. The Covenant don't do any fancy tricks. They don't make you fly. They don't change forms. They don't change the colors of your socks. They kill you. And they're good at it. That's all that matters. The Space Pirates are not a professional army. Yeah, they have leaders, but so do guerrillas in the jungle. You seem to confuse "big" with "powerful."

Nearly killed him? He survived being blasted twice. All Guilty Spark's beam managed to do is knock out his shield. Then, Master Chief destroyed him without any upgrades. As for Johnson, it's not like he was devoid of armor.

So when did this explosion happen?

The ODSTs are not normal human beings. They're physically superior to regular humans. And Master Chief didn't just beat them, he killed them with his bare hands. They didn't stand a chance. What did Samus do when she was fourteen?

All your source said was what the Spartans could do. It did NOT say what they couldn't do. The tank flips over by itself during gameplay for convenience purposes, just like when the game goes into a third person perspective when the player enters a vehicle or turret.

You say "fancy tricks". I say "more ways to kill people and/or avoid being killed". Oh, and as for your denial against the Space Pirates being a professional army.....

**from Wikitroid**

"Space Pirates represent a highly intelligent, extremely agressive species that field well-trained armies in ruthless attacks on the Galactic Federation. Space Pirates seek to become the dominant force in the galaxy, and their technology may help them realize this goal. Fierce warriors, they wield galvanic accelerator cannons and forearm-mounted scythes in battle."

"Space Pirates have been responsible for some of the most disastrous events in Galactic history, such as the Phazon Crisis, and have been responsible for the raid and capture of over 200 planets, including Zebes, Bryyo, Norion, Elysia, Tallon IV, Naishii, Jigrad, and K-2L"

---------------------------------------------

They're clearly a military. So shut up.

All your source said was what the Spartans could do. It did NOT say what they couldn't do

Okay. Well the source I read on Samus didn't explicitly say she "couldn't" lift an aircraft carrier, so I'm just gonna use your favorite brand of troll logic and say that she can. Looks like Samus is way stronger than Chief.

Nearly killed him? He survived being blasted twice. All Guilty Spark's beam managed to do is knock out his shield. Then, Master Chief destroyed him without any upgrades. As for Johnson, it's not like he was devoid of armor.I'll say it again. Mother Brain's laser killed a metroid which is (as I've mentioned a thousand times already) FAR tougher than Johnson could ever hope to be. And not with merely a mortal wound either. It EXPLODED that metroid (as in blew it to smithereens). So Guilty Spark's attack was nowhere near as impressive as Mother Brain's. And Samus actually survived that kind of blast.

The ODSTs are not normal human beings. They're physically superior to regular humans.

They're superior in that they're better trained and more experienced than the average marine. But they don't have special bio-enhancements that put Spartans and Samus above a normal human's full physical potential.

And Master Chief didn't just beat them, he killed them with his bare hands. They didn't stand a chance. What did Samus do when she was fourteen?


She was already out fighting Space Pirates in REAL battles, not in a boxing ring match. Also, just for the record, John killed 2 of those ODSTs (out of 4).

Guess again. Right before that bit on the Space Pirates, Wikitroid says this:

Civilization Type: Mercenary

They're not a real military force.

No, my logic is based off something that actually happens in the games. If I were to use that logic, I could just say Master Chief is able to lift a planet.

Actually, a Metroid isn't "FAR tougher than Johnson could ever hope to be." Johnson doesn't have a weakness towards ice. And Samus nearly got killed by Mother Brain's attack. Master Chief wasn't nearly killed by Guilty Spark's beam.

So what if the ODSTs don't have enhancements? They weren't fighting an adult John-117.

Cool, she was hiding behind her cannon when she was fourteen. Which is exactly why Master Chief would destroy her if the fight came to close quarters combat.

X-Parasites are completely amorphous and thus immune to gunfire since it passes through them with no effect. An entire new species (the metroids) designed to eat them had to be created in order to stop them. And said species, being terrifyingly durable, has no problem slaughtering armed troops.

If the pirates were mercenaries, they'd operate solely on the principle of being paid/hired by someone else to do what they do. I don't see anything in the descriptions (which you ignored yet again) about money or contracts being involved in their operations. Instead there's this:

"Space Pirates seek to become the dominant force in the galaxy, and their technology may help them realize this goal."

There's that,the fact that their forces are ranked much like human militaries, and their aforementioned domination of over 200 planets. That's definitely something a militarized empire would do. So once again, shut up.

Actually, a Metroid isn't "FAR tougher than Johnson could ever hope to be." Johnson doesn't have a weakness towards ice. And Samus nearly got killed by Mother Brain's attack. Master Chief wasn't nearly killed by Guilty Spark's beam.

Johnson, even with his armor, can be injured and/or killed from regular gunfire just like any human in Halo can. That would hardly even bother a metroid. And you forgot that (aside from Mother Brain's most powerful laser) it takes freezing AND firepower equivalent to MISSLES to kill a metroid. Freezing alone won't get the job done. By the way, I would love to see Johnson survive being frozen solid, inside and out.


Cool, she was hiding behind her cannon when she was fourteen. Which is exactly why Master Chief would destroy her if the fight came to close quarters combat.Not really. Considering she can floor even alien monsters with her bare hands and can screw attack or morph ball bomb him at close range, it would be suicidal for Chief to get close.

You've missed my point. You were boasting about all of the things Samus' enemies can do. But according to you, only Samus and Mother Brain have been able to kill Metroids. So, going by your own logic, all of the fancy tricks Samus' enemies perform aren't as effective as simply killing people, like the Covenant do.

Johnson can also hold his ground against the far larger Elites. I don't recall any weapons that fire bullets in the Metroid games. And in the Halo games, it's the Human weapons that do more damage. And good job ignoring my points about how injured Samus and Master Chief were after being hit.

Not really. Considering she can floor even alien monsters with her bare hands and can screw attack or morph ball bomb him at close range, it would be suicidal for Chief to get close.


That's one game and Master Chief isn't a flesh-based creature. He's wearing metal armor. Someone who's 5'3 is not going to topple someone who's 6'10. The bomb has to be planted and it's easy to see. Even angrymonkey_911 admits that Master Chief is stronger.

None of the games before Other M were not designed with a melee combat system in mind yet. And even then, in the Prime series, Samus was shown as being strong enough to tear armor off of enemies (including bosses) with her Grapple Lasso (jetpacks could be ripped off of flying enemies too). As for your second point, in Other M, a good amount of the enemies she melees DO have armor (Cyborg Zebesians, Super Zebesians, Kyratians, Asboreans, Griptians, Mighty Griptians, etc.)

Someone who's 5'3 is not going to topple someone who's 6'10.

Oh, so NOW size matters. Funny since you yourself said otherwise multiple times earlier in this thread. Not that it helps much since (a) a. she's 6'3 in her armor, making Chief's height advantage insignificant at best; and (b) It's already been shown that she can indeed topple those larger/taller than she is with melee.

I don't recall any weapons that fire bullets in the Metroid games. And in the Halo games, it's the Human weapons that do more damage. And good job ignoring my points about how injured Samus and Master Chief were after being hit.

Good job ignoring the vast difference in Mother Brain's (exploded a metroid) and Guilty Spark's (mortally wounded a human) firepower. Another thing is that in the fight itself, if Samus is still at full health she can withstand 5 shots from Mother Brain's ultimate attack before she's weakened enough that the metroid has to intervene. It took just two shots from Guilty Spark's much weaker laser to bring Chief (literally) to his knees.

reply

In her Varia suit Samus is 6'3, 198 lbs, she is 5'3 OUT of her armour.

I do agree that chief is phisically stronger than Samus (Though samus is suprisingly strong, no pushover) I don't think it will matter much. Sure, if chief is able to get her in a chokehold or grapple he could probably take her down, but I just don't see it comming down to that.

Samus is just too god damn deadly at every range. Her wave beam can easily match the Spartan laser with NO charge time, she has missles, an ice beam, she can defy gravity all together (With her grav suit), she has her screw attack if chief gets too close, AND shes a martial artist (Maybe not at the level of chief, but it would be damn close).

Chief would have to close the distance FAST or else Samus could just one shot him with the wave beam, or freeze him solid with the ice beam and follow up with a missle. Even if chief could close the distance without getting hit, he would need to watch out for that screw attack.

As for chiefs advantages, he is definatley stronger, if it came down to a grapple fight Chief would be strong enough to overpower samus. If it came down to a fist fight (Unlikely, but you never know) I think chief has her number, but it would be a LONG fight. Most of chiefs weapons wont do *beep* his best bet is sticking to the rockets, spartan laser and MAYBE the gravity hammer. The rockets would slow down Samus sure, but she survived her ship exploding while she was in the cockpit, so the rockets wont one shot. As for the laser, it would probably fare better than the rockets, but Samus could most likely take up to five direct hits before going down (Considering how much she could take from Mother Brain). The gravity hammer could probably bust samus' armour, but Chief would have to close the distance, and the hammer is slow. If he was using the hammer Samus could probably just screw attack first.


In all fairness, neither are pushovers in the slightest, but Samus just has way more advantages than chief, his only chance is to either catch Samus by suprise or get her into a fistfight.

Even if he does get that far, she has been shown to be able to break grabs/holds from enemies (metroids especially) by going morph ball and sticking a bomb on them. Hell, even when literally eaten alive in the games she can casually escape via the morphball/bomb combo.

reply

Metroids don't have arms, that's why she can break those grabs.

When your neck is being broken and blood isn't coming to your brain, it's really hard to perform escape combos.

Which is the size difference between Lewis and Tyson. You should know who won that fight.

The wave beam is nowhere as destructive as the Spartan Laser is. The missiles aren't meant for taking down big vehicles, like they do in the Halo games. What good is the ice beam going to do when Master Chief is able to survive absolute zero temperatures? Master Chief has already fought gravity defying enemies. The screw attack isn't going to topple him, he knows how to fight. Funny tidbit of information: my cousin wrote a book where a martial artist gets beaten to death by a street thug.

Chief doesn't need to close the distance, that's what he has the sniper rifle for. The bullets are called "armor-piercing" for a reason.

When did Samus survive this explosion? I didn't get an answer from nervmeister. The Spartan Laser destroys everything in one shot. If Samus used the screw attack, Master Chief would have gone with the energy sword.

reply

Okay. So I guess there's no point in Elites using cloaking/invisibility since it's just a lame "fancy trick" then.

Were those enemies clad entirely in armor? If not, that won't do anything to Master Chief. Same thing goes for the enemies in Other M. Unless they're covered entirely in a suit of armor, this doesn't prove a thing.

Size matters when you're talking about hand to hand combat. Not when you're free to shoot a large enemy. Let's put things in perspective. There's a seven inch difference between the 6'3 Samus and the 6'10 Master Chief. Just like the seven inch difference between the 5'10 Mike Tyson and the 6'5 Lennox Lewis. And Lewis destroyed Tyson when they fought each other. She's not toppling somebody who's skilled in hand to hand combat.

Nice try, but you've failed again. I never ignored either of those points. You ignored my point of Johnson holding his ground against an Elite, who's twice his size. He's a lot tougher than you give him credit for. You also ignored my point about lead weapons not being in the Metroid games and doing more damage in the Halo games. The Rocket Launcher would have probably destroyed a Metroid. Truth hurts, doesn't it? Master Chief was brought to his knees because it was a cutscene. It stunned him, but it didn't nearly kill him. He didn't need any upgrades to destroy Guilty Spark. Samus did.

reply

Her ship exploded in Metroid: Zero Mission.

I have no reason to believe that the Spartan laser is stronger than the wave beam, if anything they are very simillar in strength. The both go through multiple targets, cover, walls ex. The only reason I believe that the wave beam is better is because it requires no charge time. Even if the spartan laser was stronger (Wich its not) Chiefs armour would not hold against a wave beam, plain and simple.

Its not like Chief is impossible to knock down dude, the screw attack would definatley knock chief on his ass. It wouldn't kill him, but it would definatley floor him, no problem.

A sniper round wouldn't do dick to samus' armour, sorry to say. While it does fire armour piercing rounds, Samus' armour is much more durable than chief's and is pretty much indestructable to conventional ammunition. Lets do a little analysis of Chiefs weapons vs Samus' Varia suit.

Battle Rifle: Conventional ammo, useless

Assault Rifle: Conventional ammo, useless

pistol: Not even a scratch

Shotgun: could MAYBE push Samus back, but no lethal damage here.

Plasma pistol: A fully charged shot May push Samus back, other than that useless

Plasma Rifle: could MAYBE do some damage, but not nearly enough to kill samus before it runs out of ammo.

Carbine: Probably around the same situation as the plasma rifle.

Brute shot: would do a good job at keeping Samus at bay, but no killing power whatsoever. Samus has survived way bigger booms.

Sniper Rifle: Explained above.

Frag grenade: good distractors, other than that useless.

Plasma Grenade: Much different story than the frag grenade, these would probably hurt samus because of their vehicle disable abilities, but it would take a *beep* load to actually KILL her.

Energy sword: Considering that Space pirates use energy swords, the sword would probably cause simillar damage (Saying the Halo sword is stronger with NO proof is pure fanboyism, nothing more). Chief could easily close the distance with the sword (The leap attack) but other than that it would cause mediocre damage (But at least it would hurt Samus a bit)

Rocket launcher: this weapon would fare way better than the majority of Chief's weaponry. It can lock on, and it does descent damage, but it has little to no ammo. Considering Samus survived her ship exploding while in the cockpit, it would definatley take multiple shots to seriously harm Samus.

Spartan Laser: Like nervmeister and I have pointed out countless times is that Samus has taken MULTIPLE direct hits from Mother brain, and one of MB's shots evaporated a metroid. MOTHER BRAINS LASER IS STRONGER. Plain and simple. The spartan laser could NOT one shot Samus, it would definatley take multiple shots.

Gravity Hammer: This one is interesting. While it would not one shot Samus (She has taken hits from Ghor) it would be very effecting at keeping Samus at bay if she tried to close the distance, and it would do descent damage.


Chief's Main disadvantage is that he can only carry two weapons at once (excluding grenades), while Samus' entire arsenal is always at her disposal.

Where? The plot summary only mentions the Mothership exploding.

What's with the fabrications? The Spartan Laser literally goes through everything. Put up footage of the wavebeam destroying tanks and then you'll have a convincing argument. Besides, the Prime wave beam doesn't go through walls. Master Chief's armor will hold up to that version just fine.

Considering how Hunters and Brutes haven't knocked Master Chief down, Samus has her work cut out for her. And those guys are bigger than Samus.

Indestructible to METROID conventional ammo. In the Halo games, the conventional armor is stronger than the plasma weapons. Plus, look at her visor. Considering how you can see her face, it's clearly not as strong as Master Chief's. The sniper rifle would easily drop Samus.

Battle rifle: Can take Samus out at just about any range.

Assault rifle: It's not as effective because it's not as powerful as the rest of Master Chief's weapons, not because it fires conventional ammo.

Pistol: If you're talking about the one in the later games, then maybe. If you're talking about the one from the first game, then no.

Shotgun: It wouldn't just push her back; it would knock her down and put holes in her armor. If Master Chief hit her visor, she would be dead.

Plasma pistol: A fully charged shot would stun her, that's essentially what the plasma pistol is good for.

Plasma rifle: Similar effect to the assault rifle. Why would he use it, anyways?

Carbine: It's the Covenant battle rifle, so it will be just as versatile against Samus, just not as damaging as the battle rifle.

Brute shot: If Master Chief did use this, he would use it just to keep Samus on her toes.

Sniper rifle: Explained above.

Frag grenade: If you think these wouldn't do any damage to Samus, you're wrong. It won't kill her because it doesn't stick, but it still does damage to most enemies.

Plasma grenade: It wouldn't. When they stick, they're literally exploding at point blank range on their target.

Energy sword: It's pure fanboyism to assume the two swords are the same, even though they were made by different species, in different universes, and there's a reason why only the best Elites use it. That thing is going right through Samus' armor.

Rocket Launcher: It could take multiple shots to kill Samus, but it would hurt her just fine. It might even knock off her armor.

Spartan Laser: I don't recall the Spartan laser being tested on a metroid. Didn't those shots from Mother Brain nearly kill Samus, requiring the baby to save her?

Gravity Hammer: And by keeping her at bay, he can use the sniper rifle and score a headshot.

Being only able to carry two weapons at once is Master Chief's only disadvantage. He has the rechargeable health and the more devastating arsenal.

I'm not making up any rules. You're having some problems with basic physics. Samus was able to tear off Omega Ridley's armor because he was in the air. She could generate more force with her feet on the ground. As for the fully armored Cyborg Zebesians, your own wiki explains why Samus can beat them. "The synthetic implants made by the Federation are quite crude compared to those created by the Pirates themselves."

When did Samus fight Guilty Spark? Not only does your argument suck but you even got the games mixed up now. By the way, I didn't mean "tough" as in being able to fight. I meant as in being able to survive direct hits from attacks or gunfire. So my point still stands. A human like Johnson is nowhere near as tough as a metroid.

The only thing that sucks is your desperation. Samus needed upgrades to beat Mother Brain. I guess I need to spell everything out for you now. Johnson can survive direct attacks and gunfire. He's not unarmored, in case you didn't notice. A human like Johnson doesn't have the same weakness to ice weapons as a Metroid has. Think of it like a rock, paper scissors relationship. You should probably establish what makes the metroid so immune towards missiles, rather than assuming Halo rockets won't kill it just because the ones in Metroid don't. You say Chief got rendered helpless, but he was in fighting condition as soon as the player resumed control of him, even though his position in the cutscene didn't change. I know Samus was your first wet dream, but this is getting ridiculous.

Remember those Zebesians I mentioned two paragraphs ago? They're fully upright and bipedal like humans, fight hand-to-hand up close and have a noticeable height advantage over Samus too, and that does not stop her from soundly beating the crap out of them.


They fight hand to hand, so what? They're not on the same level of training as Samus or Master Chief. She beats them up because they're disposable grunts.

Yeah, if you seriously consider Samus to be stronger.

reply

We've already proven that Samus's armor stood up to things that would kill Master Chief in one shot/blow (Mother Brain's strongest blast, her ship exploding while inside it, consecutive hits from Ghor's missles, etc.) so all of what you just said above has virtually no credibility.

reply

Mother Brain's blast practically did kill her. Exactly when did Samus survive her ship exploding? Continually getting hit by Ghor's missiles is going to kill her.

You don't seem to realize that the coventional guns do MORE damage than the plasma ones. You put too much faith in Samus' armor.

He's not unarmored, in case you didn't notice. A human like Johnson doesn't have the same weakness to ice weapons as a Metroid has. Think of it like a rock, paper scissors relationship. You should probably establish what makes the metroid so immune towards missiles, rather than assuming Halo rockets won't kill it just because the ones in Metroid don't. You say Chief got rendered helpless, but he was in fighting condition as soon as the player resumed control of him, even though his position in the cutscene didn't change. I know Samus was your first wet dream, but this is getting ridiculous.


The only wet dream here is the one you just soaked your Halo-themed pajamas with. You're basically assuming that temperatures cold enough to immediately freeze lifeforms in their tracks to the point of shattering wouldn't affect Johnson, which shows just how deluded you really are. Equally desperate is that you're once again trying to downgrade Samus while ignoring the fact that Chief too tends to be upgraded (he only got health regen once he donned the new Mark VI armor in Halo 2; he starts off with a standard assault rifle and pistol at the beginning of every game; etc.)

I'm not making up any rules. You're having some problems with basic physics. Samus was able to tear off Omega Ridley's armor because he was in the air. She could generate more force with her feet on the ground. As for the fully armored Cyborg Zebesians, your own wiki explains why Samus can beat them. "The synthetic implants made by the Federation are quite crude compared to those created by the Pirates themselves."Yeah. Compared to the Pirates (doesn't say anything about it being weaker than Chief's or Elites' armor). Plus she still can beat them down face to face. Chief can't even stun, let alone knock down any Covvie larger than a grunt or jackal in Halo with melee alone unless he gets completely behind them. As for Omega Ridley, futuristic armor isn't exactly held together with velcro and clothespins. So even when applying strength at an optimal angle, A LOT of it is still required to pry something like that off at the hinges locking it in place for something as big as Ridley. So that's still impressive enough to match, if not surpass Chief's concrete strength regardless of how you spin it.



They fight hand to hand, so what? They're not on the same level of training as Samus or Master Chief. She beats them up because they're disposable grunts.
She can do the same to Super Zebesians which are the elite cousins of the Cyborg variety.

"Later in the game, Samus encounters Super Zebesians, a more powerful and lethal version of a regular Cyborg Zebesian. These Super Zebesians are enhanced with tougher, red armor, are more agile, and possess the ability to charge their cannons to fire permeating beam shots. These Zebesians replace most Cyborg Zebesians....They are the result of experimentation by the Galactic Federation into producing a special forces unit, based on the Space Pirates. "

Mother Brain's blast practically did kill her.
And it would've killed Chief instantly. He wouldn't be alive near long enough for his suit or the metroid to heal him.

Exactly when did Samus survive her ship exploding?

Both angrymonkey and I already told you. It happened in Metroid: Zero Mission. It got shot down by Space Pirate vessels late into the game, plummeted to the ground, and exploded on impact.

You don't seem to realize that the coventional guns do MORE damage than the plasma ones.

Yeah. The plasma weapons in the HALO universe are weaker than the conventional ones. The plasma beam in Metroid on the other hand is one of the strongest guns throughout the series. Also, not all energy/beam weapons in Metroid use plasma energy. There are also those that use such things as phazon, photon energy, electromagnetic energy, hi-frequency nova radiation, and even dimensional energy.

Continually getting hit by Ghor's missiles is going to kill her.

Emphasis on "continually". One of his missles couldn't even drain one of Samus's health bars even halfway (she has 14 bars total, each with 100 energy units).

Considering how badly the Federation fares against just about every enemy they come across, it probably is weaker than the Chief's and the Elite's armor. She only beats them down in Other M, and according to the Metroid wiki, the grapple beam doesn't tear off armor in that game. The only enemies who don't get stunned by Master Chief's melee attacks are berserking Brutes and Hunters. Good job ignoring that fact that Ridley being airborne gives him a disadvantage against the grapple beam, while Samus is able to use all of her strength to rip off the armor. When she's up against Master Chief, it's all of her weight against all of his weight.

Most enemies in the the entire Metroid series can easily be frozen by Samus's ice weapon. Not just the metroids. And they're immune to missles as well as most other weapons (unless frozen) because they were genetically engineered by the Chozo to be incredibly durable. Plain and simple.

So? They're still grunts. Just like ODSTs, who were destroyed by a 14-year old John-117.
Okay. So John only succeeded in taking out grunts. Guess you admit that the so-called special forces in Halo aren't all that special either.

A ton of enemies in Metroid are much more capable than just about anyone I've seen from the Covenant or Flood. That's why the Federation has trouble with them. In Other M, Samus doesn't tear off their armor with her lasso simply because she chose not to. She could if she wanted to. Instead, she uses it for this:

http://images.wikia.com/metroid/images/b/bb/ULF28battle.jpg

She actually pulls that lava monster onto the island she's standing on. So her strength with that lasso is still as potent as ever. It's just been applied in other ways. And I checked the Omega Ridley fight again. He's definitely on the ground when Samus pulls his armor off (he can attack from either ground or air). Good job trying to make s**t up.

It takes an army to defeat Halo enemies. Metroid enemies get defeated by one opponent. But if the Federation had the UNSC's arsenal, they wouldn't even need Samus's help. The enemy races in Metroid (Space Pirates, Metroids Ing, X Parasites, etc.) would slaughter the UNSC. The Space Pirates alone have black hole-generating technology that can lay waste to planet-wide force fields. The Metroids (especially the fully developed omega and queen types) can withstand any of their guns. The Ing (extradimensional/intangible) and X Parasites (perfectly amorphous) literally phase right through physical attacks and gunfire and can possess/infect or outright destroy the UNSC at their leisure.

Well, considering how the weapons in Halo are from a completely different universe, they should have no problems destroying the Metroids.

Metroids are not easier or harder to freeze than other enemies, especially since her ice weapon is powerful enough to affect even bosses. but once they are frozen, their defenses are dropped making them vulnerable to heavy weapons. And using your logic, I can just as easily say that considering how both the metroids and the weapons in Metroid are from a completely different universe, they should have no problem destroying Master Chief, the UNSC, the Covenant, and the Flood.

Except those grunts were beaten by a 14 year old Master Chief, with his bare hands, while it takes a full grown Samus to take down the "elite" Super Zebesians.
Neither the ODSTs nor Chief were armed or even dressed for battle at the time. They were all in regular clothes (shirtless) in a boxing ring. The Super Zebesians were all fully equipped. Way different circumstances. Unless you honestly think that a completely unarmed Chief clad in regular clothes could've survived the Halo trilogy with his fists alone.

Yeah, because the lava monster swallowed a pod. Ridley was stunned when Samus pulled his armor off. Also, you neglected to mention that he was weakened before that battle for some reason. Doesn't matter whether or not the lava monster swallowed a pod. It was still Samus's strength against the monster's strength plus its sheer size. And as for Ridley being stunned, armor strength isn't dependent on the wearer's state of consciousness. Samus still ripped it off against what was locking it in place, and at ground level no less. So both cases still legitimately show that Samus's strength is genuine.

Considering how much weaker Samus is when she's not wearing her armor, there's no way she could have survived without ejecting herself.
Samus dons and takes off her armor by having it literally materialize on and off her at will (another perk of Chozo technology). She doesn't manually removes it and stashes it in a closet or something when she's not on a mission. So if she really had ejected from her ship, the armor would never have been destroyed since it goes with her anywhere whether it's on or off. So the only logical explanation is that she materialized it on when her ship was about to crash, and it held together just enough to protect her from the ensuing explosion before falling apart.

Going to keep ignoring the part about the Chozos engineering the DNA of the metroids? Good. I guess you agree with me then that the weapons from Halo could destroy the metroids.

The Chozo didn't pick and choose guns from a list for the metroids to be proofed against. They engineered them to be incredibly resilient in general since potentially lethal trauma isn't limited to guns alone. So anyone who isn't a blind Halo jackass fanboy agrees that the UNSC would be lucky to even remotely slow down Metroids with their guns.

Those advantages mean nothing when the monster has no solid mass. It only would have been impressive if she was fighting a monster that wasn't made of a liquid. But she wasn't.

Once again, stop making s**t up. The Vorash is a solid organism, complete with a defined body structure and appendages.

He was shorter and not all of the ODSTs were unequipped. Notice the weights?



That pic is pretty poorly drawn when concerning depth and foreshortening. So it doesn't really make John's height clear whereas in the bio accompanying the image, they said the augmentation gave him the body of an "18-year-old". So it stands to reason that John's height and mass reached adult proportions. And Yeah. I notice the weights that absolutely no one is holding and could've simply been lying there the whole time. Besides, something that heavy and cumbersome and not even meant for combat isn't exactly the ideal weapon for melee in a normal human's hands.

You're the one who started posting pics instead of making relevant arguments. So the derailer here is you.


No I didn't. I posted a picture as a response to a PMSing remark you made. You've stopped making relevant arguments because you can't admit you're wrong. Don't bother coming back to my original point.

Well you made erratic ramblings and animal noises this entire thread when you clearly meant to admit that Chief would surely lose against Samus.


Not only are you incredibly bad at debating, you're also incredibly bad at insulting people when you realize you've lost. You can't make noises with online text. Master Chief would destroy Samus. Get over it.

Well. since you're a sore loser and all, I guess that's the only pathetic failed attempt you can make to try and make yourself feel better.


Smart words from the guy who still can't refute me and is making the same remarks. A bad debater, a sore loser, and a hypocrite- a typical Metroid fanboy.

So to you, cars in Halo are now sapient beings who make alliances? Funny.


So to you, cars in Halo can suddenly come to life and run off Master Chief? Now that's funny.

Samus dons and takes off her armor by having it literally materialize on and off her at will (another perk of Chozo technology). She doesn't manually removes it and stashes it in a closet or something when she's not on a mission. So if she really had ejected from her ship, the armor would never have been destroyed since it goes with her anywhere whether it's on or off. So the only logical explanation is that she materialized it on when her ship was about to crash, and it held together just enough to protect her from the ensuing explosion before falling apart.


It's more likely that Samus materialized the armor when she ejected herself and it was destroyed when she hit the ground. There's no way she could survive a point blank explosion, not when she takes damage from weaker attacks.

The Chozo didn't pick and choose guns from a list for the metroids to be proofed against. They engineered them to be incredibly resilient in general since potentially lethal trauma isn't limited to guns alone. So anyone who isn't a blind Halo jackass fanboy agrees that the UNSC would be lucky to even remotely slow down Metroids with their guns.


Why, just because the Metroids are "incredibly resilient"? The UNSC just so happen to have incredibly devastating weapons.

Once again, stop making s**t up. The Vorash is a solid organism, complete with a defined body structure and appendages.


You're the one who identified the Vorash as a "lava monster."

If it were composed of liquid, it wouldn't have teeth or even need a mouth for that matter since it could simply absorb prey into its body.


It also had the misfortune of swallowing an escape pod, which it has to fight against, along with Samus' lasso.

And no. There was no indication that Ridley's chest plate was loose.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4VZlEKWFZo Yes it was. Unless his armor was supposed to open up and leave him vulnerable.

Anyone who's not desperately clinging to an argument he lost a long time ago would realize that John is significantly smaller than the ODSTs. He needed to get his feet off the ground to strike the ODST's face. Why would weights just be lying on the floor of a boxing ring? The fight was already arranged.

We've been over how those guns aren't nearly as effective as you think they are. Painfully limited magazine (2 shots for the rocket launcher; 5 shots for the laser), lengthy reload time, and the laser's three-second charge time PLUS a 4 second cooldown time (7 second delay total) offsets the firepower it puts out. And Samus's armor can and will stand up to them anyways (as it has against Ghor's missles and Mother Brain's laser) provided that Samus doesn't simply dodge them or kill Chief with homing missiles first.

And as for the Scorpion, if you're already in the mindset that Chief needs the that kind of vehicle support in order to stand a chance against her, then its now obvious to you that Samus would win in a fair fight.

Those objects are helping the someone pull up whatever they've caught.
One-hundred percent of the force pulling up the catch comes from the person holding the line. The hook doesn't do any pulling of its own whatsoever. So all that strength is coming from Samus, period. If she wasn't anywhere near that strong, the monster would've just yanked her straight into the lava.

There's a reason why a word isn't worth a thousand pictures. It doesn't matter what the text says, Master Chief is clearly smaller than the ODSTs in the official comic. For someone as fit an ODST, a weight bar isn't that cumbersome.
Comics even centered around the same character can be drawn by different artists who tend to represent said character differently depending on their art styles and preferences. Textual information is way more consistent.

On the second subject, even fit people put effort into lifting those kinds of weights, and that's when they're holding it exactly horizontally by the bar midway in between the weights on each end so that the distribution of weight is even and lines up with their center of gravity. Holding it like a club or bat with ones hands near one end of the bar, allowing the weights at the other end to shift far from the holder's center of gravity and thus exert way more stress on the holders hands and arms is NOT a good idea. If the ODST in question were holding it, he would need to put at or almost everything he had into just maintaining his grip on the thing. And trying to swing it would just wear him down even more. And somehow managing to swing it after all that effort would just result in a laughably slow attack that anyone in their right mind would see coming a mile away. Therefore the ODST is better off not even bothering.

Whether or not the fish gets away also depends entirely on the person's strength. If he/she isn't strong enough, the fish would just yank the line plus the rod away out of his/her grip.

Flaunting your own overinflated ego isn't getting you any closer to even remotely proving that Chief would win against Samus.
Samus’s missle launcher is easily better than the M19. Her missiles travel faster than the M19's missiles, not that it's hard since the missiles from the M19 move so slow that they suck at hitting targets smaller than vehicles, such as people. And since Samus is in fact on foot and can go morph ball mode, making her even harder to hit, then Chiefis likely going to waste all his ammo trying to hit her. Speaking of ammo, there's also the fact that Samus's launcher carries an overwhelming 250 missles total (M19 has just 8) and doesn’t need to be reloaded, period, whereas the M19 does need to be reloaded after just 2 shots. As for power, Samus's missiles have been shown to casually blast (in one hit) through walls inside a space station; walls that are much thicker than the chassis of most Halo vehicles. So really, how can the M19 even hope to stand up to all that. And since power isn't an issue with Samus's missiles, not even Chief's regenerating health will save him from that kind of ballistics capability. And better yet, since Samus’s suit did in fact stand up to similar firepower from Ghor (a missle barely drained her health even on HARD difficulty) plus survived her ship exploding (as you just admitted), then not even Halo’s M19 will do much against it. That said, it's as plain as day that Samus has the edge in armor and weapons.

Every time I think you can't get more desperate, you find a way, since none of what you just typed proves that UNSC firearms could kill a metroid. You simply claimed that they could purely out of fanboyism. It's already been shown that weapons as powerful as missles will hardly hurt metroids unless they're frozen first. If they can easily stand up to firepower like that, then their bodies can stand up to the Spartan Laser.


Yet another self-parodying comment. Nothing you just typed proves that metroids can withstand UNSC firearms. The Spartan Laser is more powerful than missiles, so their resistance towards missiles doesn't mean much.

No it wasn't. Samus still had to force it open, meaning it was locked in place once it closed.


Which doesn't make any sense because the armor was already in the same "locked in place" position when it opened up.

Whether or not the fish gets away also depends entirely on the person's strength. If he/she isn't strong enough, the fish would just yank the line plus the rod away out of his/her grip. And is said line were attached to the person' arm (like Samus's arm), he/she would be dragged right into the water. So it's not hard to understand that Samus has the strength to pull that kind of monster out, line or no line.


If she had the strength, she would be able to pull the monster up without the escape pod. And the escape pod is providing Samus with more force than a fishing hook would.

Even officially approved comics from different artists can physically depict the same character differently. So what are you trying to get at?


Physical differences won't be drastic. And there's nothing to suggest he stopped growing after that incident.

You didnt prove anything. You simply looked at a pic, saw a weight set lying there with absolutely NO ONE holding it and simply assumed that someone had tried using it against Chief. Propaganda is clearly your territory.

No. The idea of Samus and Chief fighting each other through post edits is your logic. By sound logic I accept the truth that Samus annihilates Chief.


Sorry, but psychological projection won't work on me. I didn't update any of my posts with arguments after you replied to them.

Oh, so now you finally admit that Samus was still inside her ship when it exploded. There. Now was that so hard?


And you thought you could call me desperate. Because the concept of Samus not being fully engulfed in the explosion is foreign to you and you've been forced to nitpick my comments because you can't admit you're wrong, I guess I need to rephrase what I said.

The missiles don't explode all around her. She isn't engulfed in the explosion like she would have been when her ship was shot down. Has it ever occurred to you why the destruction of her ship occurs off-screen? Attacking my analogy only shows how desperate you are.

I fully expect you to ignore the main point here and find more things to nitpick.

Well how else am I going to put all the crap you type in quote blocks, so I can demonstrate just how useless it is for your argument?


You're also putting the words I type into your own arguments and failing to realize how ironic they sound.

I never put words in your mouth from the start. You actually said that the car was "on Chief's side" as if it were a self-aware and willing ally. I simply called you on it. And you’re doing a nice job derailing the topic yourself by bringing this up. Try and focus, please.


The car is on his side like a Boeing AH-64 Apache is on the US Army's side. It doesn't run him over because only his allies drive it. Unable to prove me wrong, you derailed the subject by putting a spin on what I said. I expect self-parodying idiots like you from YouTube, but not from the IMDb.

Flaunting your own overinflated ego isn't getting you any closer to even remotely proving that Chief would win against Samus.
Samus’s missle launcher is easily better than the M19. Her missiles travel faster than the M19's missiles, not that it's hard since the missiles from the M19 move so slow that they suck at hitting targets smaller than vehicles, such as people. And since Samus is in fact on foot and can go morph ball mode, making her even harder to hit, then Chiefis likely going to waste all his ammo trying to hit her. Speaking of ammo, there's also the fact that Samus's launcher carries an overwhelming 250 missles total (M19 has just 8) and doesn’t need to be reloaded, period, whereas the M19 does need to be reloaded after just 2 shots. As for power, Samus's missiles have been shown to casually blast (in one hit) through walls inside a space station; walls that are much thicker than the chassis of most Halo vehicles. So really, how can the M19 even hope to stand up to all that. And since power isn't an issue with Samus's missiles, not even Chief's regenerating health will save him from that kind of ballistics capability. And better yet, since Samus’s suit did in fact stand up to similar firepower from Ghor (a missle barely drained her health even on HARD difficulty) plus survived her ship exploding (as you just admitted), then not even Halo’s M19 will do much against it. That said, it's as plain as day that Samus has the edge in armor and weapons.


You seem to be under the impression that long posts make you intelligent. They don't. All I said was the M19 uses bigger and stronger missiles. You went on a rambling off-topic post again because you're desperately clinging to a topic you already lost. A wall is thicker than a tank? Good one. So no, the missiles won't be able to take out Master Chief in one hit and that's what Samus needs to win. Ghor is nowhere near as strong as you made him out to be. He failed to destroy Samus' ship. Claiming I "admitted" Samus survived her ship exploding only proves how far your head is wedged up your anus. The M19 will either kill her or destroy her suit. Or maybe both. After all, simply touching enemies hurts her. Once she goes up against Master Chief's arsenal, she's leaving in a body bag.

Pretty funny that you're accusing me of things that you've been doing from the very start. As for your "main points", Samus's ship had no ejection system. Therefore Samus couldn't simply jump out, and even if she had, falls from extreme heights are hardly an inconvenience for her like they are for Chief (Chief instantly dies from those as well). That leaves the conclusion that she withstood the explosion. And by the way, she has no problem withstanding a barrage of missiles exploding all around her at once either.

Regardless of whether "friendly fire" is turned on or off. Chief can still be insta-killed by even the smallest vehicles even at relatively slow speeds or even if they topple over on top of him.

Master Chief's armor is obviously nowhwere near as strong as a Scorpion's, Therefore, Samus's missiles can and will kill him in one hit, not that she needs an insta kill since even the weakest weapons like plasma pistols can wear down Chief's health to nothing. And if touching enemies in the old 2D side-scrolling Metroid games harms Samus, then it just means those same enemies would kill Chief instantly if he touched them since his armor's way weaker. As for Ghor, if you don't think he's all that, then find and show me a cutscene from any of the Halo games where an enemy literally throws something that big across a similar distance. Go on. I'll wait.

Yet another self-parodying comment. Nothing you just typed proves that metroids can withstand UNSC firearms. The Spartan Laser is more powerful than missiles, so their resistance towards missiles doesn't mean much.
It means a lot actually. If missles barely even annoy them, then the Spartan Laser which is only moderately more powerful than the rocket launcher wont fare much better.

Which doesn't make any sense because the armor was already in the same "locked in place" position when it opened up.
If it wasn't locked in place, it would've simply dropped open due to gravity once Ridley started flying. So how do you explain that?


If she had the strength, she would be able to pull the monster up without the escape pod. And the escape pod is providing Samus with more force than a fishing hook would.
There's is nothing in any of the games or game information that says a Grapple Point can apply its own force to things. All it does is provide a point for Samus's grapple beam to connect with in order to apply her own force/momentum to swing or pull things. It won't add power or move things for her. That force exclusively comes from Samus.

Physical differences won't be drastic. And there's nothing to suggest he stopped growing after that incident.


Yes they easily can be drastic. For example, Wolverine's height in his official comic bio is 5'3. And though some artists have portrayed his height appropriately enough, others have depicted him as being significantly taller (around 6 feet in some cases). And it only gets more off the mark in things like movie adaptations (starring Hugh Jackman who's 6'2) and cartoon shows featuring him.


Good job not refuting anything I said. A weight bar would not be in a boxing ring, unless it was being used a blunt weapon.
Or unless someone just left it there because he was in too much of a hurry or just plain lazy to even store it properly. There's a number of valid possibilities for why it could be lying there.

Excellent job using more psychological projection. Your claim of Samus' ship having no ejection system is based on... absolutely nothing. Master Chief only dies from falls during gameplay and that's because he went into an undesigned area. In the actual story, he survives re-entry into Earth and a collision with a spaceship. Your unproven conclusion fails. The missiles were going in different directions and not all of them hit her. Same thing? Hardly.

So now what do you have to say?


Were you delusional enough to believe Samus was really getting engulfed in an explosion in that video or were you just desperate enough to think I wouldn't notice not all of the missiles hitting her?

No. I completely realize how ironic most of what you type is.


And for some odd reason, you never provide examples.

Regardless of whether "friendly fire" is turned on or off. Chief can still be insta-killed by even the smallest vehicles even at relatively slow speeds or even if they topple over on top of him.


This has nothing to do with friendly fire. His allies don't attempt to run him over and only fast or heavy vehicles kill him.

The missiles won't kill him in one hit because they lack the stopping power of the vehicle destroying M19. Master Chief might take damage from a plasma pistol, but at least that's a gun. Even steam is able to harm Samus. Assuming that Master Chief would die from touching those same enemies- now that's pure fanboyism.

As for Ghor, if you don't think he's all that, then find and show me a cutscene from any of the Halo games where an enemy literally throws something that big across a similar distance. Go on. I'll wait.

You'd have to compare Wolverine to other characters with confirmed heights to really know how tall the artist depicted him. Being adaptations, the movies and cartoon shows are not part of the main universe. The comic book that illustration comes from is part of the main Halo universe.

Chief only survived reentry because he used a huge piece of the hull of a forerunner ship much more durable than his armor. The missles launched at Samus may not all have hit her directly, but she was still caught in the outward explosions from most if not all of them. Still way more than what Chief can handle. And yes. Samus's ship had no ejection system. If it did, she would've jumped out and landed safely on the ground fully armored. And before you even say that falling a large distance would be a problem for her armor, watch this vid.

Not a single bit of health drained from that kind of fall.

Were you delusional enough to believe Samus was really getting engulfed in an explosion in that video or were you just desperate enough to think I wouldn't notice not all of the missiles hitting her?
And yet you trying to pass off a Warthog as being remotely near as big as Samus's ship is not desperate? Once again, good job ignoring your own hypocrisy. And in your last post, you said that she had to survive missiles exploding "all around her". You didn't say anything about all of them having to impact directly with her. Not that it matters, since it still wouldn't be enough to kill her. Her maximum health in the game is 990 (10 energy tanks with 99 energy each). She lost just 22 energy from that missile attack. 7 missles total were fired at her. Assuming (as you already have) that was just from one missile squarely hitting her, if the other 6 had directly connected, the total damage would've been 154 (7 x 22 damage). Out of 990 health, that's just a small fraction. The max ammo that Chief carries for the M19 is 8, only one more than the entire barrage fired at her. It only gets worse for Chief knowing that the M19 can only fire one missle at a time, the missiles are terribly slow (Samus has agility plus speed boosters), and the M19 has to be reloaded after only two shots. Chief would almost be asking to die by trying to use that against her.

The missiles won't kill him in one hit because they lack the stopping power of the vehicle destroying M19. Master Chief might take damage from a plasma pistol, but at least that's a gun. Even steam is able to harm Samus. Assuming that Master Chief would die from touching those same enemies- now that's pure fanboyism.
He would die very quickly from touching those enemies and from the steam if he cant stand up to a barrage of missles like Samus can. It just goes to show that even the steam (or what looks like steam) in Metroid is stronger than standard Halo weaponry. And yes, Samus's missle launcher does have the same power as the M19. Not to mention she can fire 5 of them (all with homing) at Chief simultaneously. And I find it funny that you of all people are accusing me of fanboyism.

And for some odd reason, you never provide examples.
I did just now. **see above** And even earlier when you tried to pass off a warthog as being the size of Samus's ship while all the while accusing me of trying to trick you by demonstrating how Samus can withstand missiles exploding, as you put it exactly, "all around her". And when you begrudgingly altered your prerequisite at the last minute from the missles exploding all around her to hitting her directly, I easily explained that she'd be fine even if all of them had done so. And finally, you accused me of self-parody even though you yourself are guilty of just that as I've just shown. So you are in NO position to point fingers at me.

Yes there are. Someone simply could've put it in there instead of putting it away in its proper location somewhere on the other side of the gym because he had to leave for elsewhere in a hurry. That's just one of many possible explanations.

It had to have been fully locked in. If all it took was a little force, even Ridley's sudden maneuver's while flying or collisions with the wall would've jerked opened the armor due to stored momentum.

The Grapple Point is providing force here because it's inside of the monster. If it wasn't giving Samus additional force, she would have been able to pull the monster up without the escape pod.
If the grapple point could generate it's own force and inertia equal to Samus's strength, the Vorash wouldn't even be able to swim away once it ate the thing even without Samus attaching her lasso. So yes, Samus still would've been able pull out the monster if, for example, she got a grip on one of its prehensile limbs (eg. the tail). But since it was well out of arm's reach plus submerged in lava for the battle, that wasn't really an option under the circumstances.

To quote an earlier statement: You're right. I guess being crushed against a solid piece of metal with over 40,000 pounds of force would be better than crashing directly into the soft earth. Oh, no, it's worse. That's right. Looking closer at the video, there appears to be three outward explosions from the missiles and only one of them hit her. But nice try. Oh look, you still haven't proved that Samus' ship doesn't have an ejection system. By your own logic, being engulfed in an explosion destroys Samus' armor. So shouldn't she have lost her armor after being "engulfed" by the barrage of missiles? And before you claim that I'm now saying Samus survived being engulfed in an explosion, I'm not. Note the quotation marks.

Games are never consistent when it comes to the amount of damage a character receives when falling. In Castlevania, Simon died from short falls, but was fine after falling down a well at the end of the third level.

Smart words from the guy who's desperately focusing on the comparison I made to discredit me. The Warthog holds three people, Samus ship only holds one. Enough said. What I said in my post is she had to survive being engulfed in an explosion, like she would have been if she was inside of her ship when it was shot down. If the missiles don't hit her and cause damage, then she clearly wasn't engulfed in the explosion. As Samus can be killed by lightning, small protective spines, the teeth of a blind dinosaur, and just about everything she touches, those missiles couldn't have been that strong to cause little damage. Once again, I've only said that the M19 is stronger than the missiles in the Metroid games.

He would die very quickly from touching those enemies and from the steam if he cant stand up to a barrage of missles like Samus can. It just goes to show that even the steam (or what looks like steam) in Metroid is stronger than standard Halo weaponry. And yes, Samus's missle launcher does have the same power as the M19.

Fire doesn't kill Master Chief instantly, so neither would steam. You'd have to pretty delusional to believe spikes on an enemy are stronger than real weapons. Of course you would find it funny that I'm accusing you of fanboyism, because you enjoy making yourself look stupid.

You didn't. You're too self-centered to realize the irony in your posts. If Samus' ship was so big much bigger than a Warthog as you claim, it should be able to hold more people. When I said "all around her," I was talking about her actually being caught in the explosion. That's what would have happened if she was onboard when her ship was destroyed, right? Your logic also states that her armor would have been destroyed if she was engulfed in the explosion of missiles. Poor, poor you. It's not my fault you suck at arguing.

Yes there are. Someone simply could've put it in there instead of putting it away in its proper location somewhere on the other side of the gym because he had to leave for elsewhere in a hurry. That's just one of many possible explanations.


Oh that's a great idea. Put in a place where it will get in the way of everyone trying to use the boxing ring, when the user could have easily placed it right next to the bench he was using. What other "many possible explanations" do you have? They're probably just as ridiculous as this one.

And you still haven't refuted this: The weights wouldn't shift. Take a closer look at the bar in the picture. As a result, it wouldn't put more stress on the holder's hands and arms. The ODST isn't some weakling and those weren't big weights. He could swing it just fine and Master Chief still took him out.

It had to have been fully locked in. If all it took was a little force, even Ridley's sudden maneuver's while flying or collisions with the wall would've jerked opened the armor due to stored momentum.

So wait, the monster's limbs were out of arm's reach, but its inwards weren't? Thing is, Samus isn't even pulling on the monster. She's pulling on the escape pod and the escape pod is pushing against the the monster's inwards.

Size and carrying capacity aren't the same thing. Samus's ship is still bigger.

To quote an earlier statement: You're right. I guess being crushed against a solid piece of metal with over 40,000 pounds of force would be better than crashing directly into the soft earth. Oh, no, it's worse. That's right. Looking closer at the video, there appears to be three outward explosions from the missiles and only one of them hit her. But nice try.

Note the quotation marks.
Chief cannot be crushed against something that was falling with him attached to it him at the exact same speed. Now if said piece of metal was already on the ground and Chief fell right into it or if Chief was on the underside of the thing instead of on top of it when it crashed, then that would make sense. And ragging on me for lack of proof is ironic since you yourself never proved that Samus's ship does have an ejection system. At least I explained why Samus had to have been in her ship when it exploded since jumping out right before the crash wouldn't have inconvenienced her in any way.

Games are never consistent when it comes to the amount of damage a character receives when falling. In Castlevania, Simon died from short falls, but was fine after falling down a well at the end of the third level.
Falling steep distances and landing perfectly is not just a gameplay feature in the Metroid games. It's also essentially one of Samus's abilities in regards to her character itself story-wise.

"As a result of the Chozo’s influence, Samus is capable of running and jumping heights far past normal human ability, as well as surviving falls that would otherwise kill an ordinary human." - Wikitroid

And that particular excerpt refers to her WITHOUT her suit. Those abilities only improve once she puts it on.

You didn't. You're too self-centered to realize the irony in your posts. If Samus' ship was so big much bigger than a Warthog as you claim, it should be able to hold more people. When I said "all around her," I was talking about her actually being caught in the explosion. That's what would have happened if she was onboard when her ship was destroyed, right? Your logic also states that her armor would have been destroyed if she was engulfed in the explosion of missiles. Poor, poor you. It's not my fault you suck at arguing.
Again, you're mistaking carrying capacity for the ship's overall size. Here's something that gives an accurate perspective of how big the whole ship is compared to its pilot:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sMInBycJ5O4#t=613s

So it's actually big enough that even its cockpit windshield alone is bigger than the person piloting it and its rear section actually accommodates an underside hatch/elevator for people to enter and exit the ship.

Also, I hope by now you've realized that the now-destroyed armor Samus wore in Zero Mission (Power Suit) was an older and weaker armor than the suit she wears nowadays (Varia Suit). So no. My logic still states correctly that not even the explosion of multiple missiles would be near enough to destroy her (current) armor, especially since I already explained why they wouldn't even if they all hit her directly.


If it was fully locked in, it wouldn't have opened up by itself.
So what? It closes by itself too. And since it had to be ripped open, that means it locked itself down once closed.



And who would make the hero appear smaller than he really is? Bigger makes sense because most people expect protagonists to be large individuals. But smaller? Besides, an eighteen-year old Olympic athlete wouldn't be that big to begin with.
Like I said, the perspective of that picture in regards to depth was a little too vague/abstract to determine size. Whereas the text in the article associated with is more concrete in that it explicitly states that Chief "had the body of an 18-year-old" after the Spartan augmentation process was complete. And the actual information on the augmentation itself only supports my argument even more, since it states that one of those augmentations is in fact a "catalytic thyroid implant", a platinum pellet containing human growth hormone catalyst implanted into the recruit's thyroid to boost growth of skeletal and muscle tissues. So there you have it.

Oh that's a great idea. Put in a place where it will get in the way of everyone trying to use the boxing ring, when the user could have easily placed it right next to the bench he was using. What other "many possible explanations" do you have? They're probably just as ridiculous as this one.

And you still haven't refuted this: The weights wouldn't shift. Take a closer look at the bar in the picture. As a result, it wouldn't put more stress on the holder's hands and arms. The ODST isn't some weakling and those weren't big weights. He could swing it just fine and Master Chief still took him out.
The weights themselves wouldn't shift, but the center of gravity would from attempting to hold them from the bar like a bat or mace. And even a fit person would expend significant energy just rotating it back in preparation for a swing No. It would take significantly stronger than a physically fit but otherwise biologically normal soldier like an ODST to wield something like that efficiently without being encumbered. Here's an example of one who can:

So wait, the monster's limbs were out of arm's reach, but its inwards weren't? Thing is, Samus isn't even pulling on the monster. She's pulling on the escape pod and the escape pod is pushing against the the monster's inwards.
Don't you mean "innards"? And those are inside the monster's body, so yeah. They're out of arm's reach as well. Hence the lasso which has even longer reach. And all that matters is that Samus is the one doing all the pulling. The grapple point is merely a "grip" from where she can focus all of her own strength. So let me put it basically: the grapple pod provides the grip; the lasso provides the reach; and Samus herself provides the raw power/strength. So there.

Size and carrying capacity aren't the same thing. Samus's ship is still bigger.


But they are related. And I never said the Warthog was bigger.

Chief cannot be crushed against something that was falling with him attached to it him at the exact same speed. Now if said piece of metal was already on the ground and Chief fell right into it or if Chief was on the underside of the thing instead of on top of it when it crashed, then that would make sense. And ragging on me for lack of proof is ironic since you yourself never proved that Samus's ship does have an ejection system. At least I explained why Samus had to have been in her ship when it exploded since jumping out right before the crash wouldn't have inconvenienced her in any way.


Master Chief wasn't attached to Forerunner Dreadnought when he was falling into Earth. When it hit the ground, he felt its impact. You brought up the claim of Samus' ship not having an ejection system; you're the one who needs to prove it. What I did is prove why it would be implausible for Samus to survive a point blank explosion that would have completely engulfed her.

Falling steep distances and landing perfectly is not just a gameplay feature in the Metroid games. It's also essentially one of Samus's abilities in regards to her character itself story-wise.


That wasn't my point. My point is there's a discrepancy between what video game characters can and can't survive when falling.

"As a result of the Chozo’s influence, Samus is capable of running and jumping heights far past normal human ability, as well as surviving falls that would otherwise kill an ordinary human." - Wikitroid


Yeah, she can survive falls that can kill ordinary humans. Doesn't mean she's going to emerge unscathed after falling a great distance.

And that particular excerpt refers to her WITHOUT her suit. Those abilities only improve once she puts it on.


Which is why she was able to survive the fall without any physical injuries, but lost her suit in the process.

Again, you're mistaking carrying capacity for the ship's overall size. Here's something that gives an accurate perspective of how big the whole ship is compared to its pilot:


I never said the Warthog was bigger than Samus' ship. I brought it up to prove that Hunters are just as strong as Ghor is. If the Hunter can send a vehicle with three occupants sailing through the air without even picking it up, while Ghor could barely toss Samus' ship, the Hunter should at least have the same results Ghor did against the ship.

Also, I hope by now you've realized that the now-destroyed armor Samus wore in Zero Mission (Power Suit) was an older and weaker armor than the suit she wears nowadays (Varia Suit). So no. My logic still states correctly that not even the explosion of multiple missiles would be near enough to destroy her (current) armor, especially since I already explained why they wouldn't even if they all hit her directly.


Your logic remains flawed because you don't seem to realize that you're comparing two different scenarios. Samus wouldn't be caught in the outward explosions of the missiles because the exploded at different times at different locations. When her ship exploded, she would have been completely surrounded by the explosion if she remained onboard. Additionally, Samus was wearing the Varia Suit when she took damage from steam in Super Metroid. If her upgraded suit couldn't hold up against steam, then the idea of Samus' weaker suit protecting her from being engulfed in a point blank explosion is beyond ridiculous.

So what? It closes by itself too. And since it had to be ripped open, that means it locked itself down once closed.


So what? If it was fully locked in, it wouldn't be opening up by itself. Why would Ridley want to expose his weakness to his enemy? It was only able to be ripped open because it wasn't locked in fully.

Like I said, the perspective of that picture in regards to depth was a little too vague/abstract to determine size. Whereas the text in the article associated with is more concrete in that it explicitly states that Chief "had the body of an 18-year-old" after the Spartan augmentation process was complete. And the actual information on the augmentation itself only supports my argument even more, since it states that one of those augmentations is in fact a "catalytic thyroid implant", a platinum pellet containing human growth hormone catalyst implanted into the recruit's thyroid to boost growth of skeletal and muscle tissues. So there you have it.


There's nothing too vague or abstract in that picture. If it wasn't obvious enough that Master Chief's body is smaller than the ODSTs, the fact that he's jumping up to punch an ODST in the face confirms he's smaller. 18-year olds are not bigger than full-grown men, but that was lost on you for some reason. Instead of proving that Master Chief couldn't have gotten bigger as he got older, you just wrote a bunch a scientific terms and hoped for the best. It didn't work.

The weights themselves wouldn't shift, but the center of gravity would from attempting to hold them from the bar like a bat or mace. And even a fit person would expend significant energy just rotating it back in preparation for a swing No. It would take significantly stronger than a physically fit but otherwise biologically normal soldier like an ODST to wield something like that efficiently without being encumbered. Here's an example of one who can:


I have no clue what you're trying to say here. It looks like you're just trying to sound scientific with your words to cover up your inability to prove me wrong.

And as soon as I brought the subject of the weights shifting up again, you dropped the subject of why the weights could have been just lying there. So much for your "many possible explanations."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TylcMklRRas#t=42s


I don't know what's more amusing- your inability to realize the weights in that image weren't large or how in a universe with extraterrestrial creatures, parasites that can take over people's bodies, and genetically altered humans, the concept of someone using a weight bar as a weapon is too unrealistic for you to handle.

Don't you mean "innards"? And those are inside the monster's body, so yeah. They're out of arm's reach as well. Hence the lasso which has even longer reach. And all that matters is that Samus is the one doing all the pulling. The grapple point is merely a "grip" from where she can focus all of her own strength. So let me put it basically: the grapple pod provides the grip; the lasso provides the reach; and Samus herself provides the raw power/strength. So there.


Nope, I still meant inwards (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/inward). And now, you've completely lost it. You claimed Samus wasn't pulling on the monster's limbs because they were "out of arm's reach." By admitting that the monster's internal organs were also "out of arm's reach," you effectively proved me right. Samus' lasso could have reached for the monster's limbs, but she didn't have the strength to pull the monster up by herself. So she used her lasso on the escape pod inside the monster, which lead to the monster having to deal with both Samus pulling it in and the escape pod pressing against its innards. Spin this around all you want, the fact remains that Samus was unable to use the grapple point on the lava monster without the escape pod in its stomach.

Seriously, if you need months at a time now just to prepare a comeback, you may as well just quit.


/But they are related. And I never said the Warthog was bigger.

Okay. So now we agree that Samus's gunship is significantly larger than a warthog.


Master Chief wasn't attached to Forerunner Dreadnought when he was falling into Earth. When it hit the ground, he felt its impact. You brought up the claim of Samus' ship not having an ejection system; you're the one who needs to prove it.
Master Chief was attached to a broken off piece of the ship's hull as I already described. That was what took most of the impact, not to mention all of the heat produced from atmospheric reentry. And even then, Chief had to lock his armor down just to keep from dying from the impact. And yet after all took those measures, he still needed ample time to recover. Also, I already proved long ago that Samus was in the ship when it exploded. If you cant accept it, that's your problem.


Which is why she was able to survive the fall without any physical injuries, but lost her suit in the process.
No. If she had exited the ship beforehand, the fall wouldn't have destroyed her suit, especially since if there was a way out, she could've easily waited till the ship was close to the ground before leaping out, thereby minimizing the falling distance (I already showed you the video of how even a lengthy fall wouldn't phase her). Therefore, she was in the ship when it exploded.



Your logic remains flawed because you don't seem to realize that you're comparing two different scenarios. Samus wouldn't be caught in the outward explosions of the missiles because the exploded at different times at different locations.

If her upgraded suit couldn't hold up against steam, then the idea of Samus' weaker suit protecting her from being engulfed in a point blank explosion is beyond ridiculous.
We can go back and forth about which missiles hit all day. The fact remains that Samus's armor is tough enough to take even direct hits from missiles without much harm (her health decrease in the vid from one missile was so little that even if all missiles had scored direct hits, she would've survived with plenty of health to spare) Chief dies from one hit. Therefore, that same steam (or substance that looks like steam) you mentioned would've done way worse to Chief, given that his armor's much weaker.

By admitting that the monster's internal organs were also "out of arm's reach," you effectively proved me right. Samus' lasso could have reached for the monster's limbs, but she didn't have the strength to pull the monster up by herself.

Spin this around all you want, the fact remains that Samus was unable to use the grapple point on the lava monster without the escape pod in its stomach.
Again, the grapple points don't anything other than act as a mere latch for Samus's lasso. No different from a fish hook or a towing hitch. All are completely inanimate and are therefore moved (along with what's attached to it on the receiving end) exclusively by outside forces.


I don't know what's more amusing- your inability to realize the weights in that image weren't large


Okay. So I guess that means you admit that the strength of an ODST isn't nearly as impressive as you previously tried letting on. And that's even if one was crazy enough to try using them as a weapon.

or how in a universe with extraterrestrial creatures, parasites that can take over people's bodies, and genetically altered humans, the concept of someone using a weight bar as a weapon is too unrealistic for you to handle.

Are ODST's extraterrestrial creatures? No.

Are ODST's scientifically/genetically/surgically/etc. altered humans? No (Try not to confuse them with Spartans)

Are ODST's parasites that take over other......You know what? I at least have a little respect left for you that I think you can figure that one out on your own.

So what's most amusing is that you think ODSTs are really all that special.

"Barely" pick it up? It took less than five seconds for Ghor to lift and throw that thing. And that warthog stunt you're so easily impressed by becomes laughable when you realize that it practically floated in the air after being launched. That's ridiculously light for a car.

So what? If it was fully locked in, it wouldn't be opening up by itself.
If it can open and close by itself, what makes you think it cant lock and unlock automatically?

So now that you continue to put words in my mouth, you secretly admit that I'm right about this entire thread.

Claiming Master Chief was attached to the ship's hull means he was actually joined or fastened to the hull. He wasn't. So really, most of the damage he sustained was due to his impact with the metal hull. You never have and you never will prove Samus was inside the ship when it exploded. You're better off dropping this point like you usually do.

No. If she had exited the ship beforehand, the fall wouldn't have destroyed her suit, especially since if there was a way out, she could've easily waited till the ship was close to the ground before leaping out, thereby minimizing the falling distance (I already showed you the video of how even a lengthy fall wouldn't phase her). Therefore, she was in the ship when it exploded.


Wrong. She was inside a burning ship that was dropping fast. Samus needed to bail out as soon as she could. Her visibility was affected by the flames and she had no way of knowing if her ship wasn't going to explode before it hit the ground. Plus, she needed to be as far away from the ship's explosion as she could when she bailed out. I already showed you that games are not consistent when it comes to what falls don't harm characters and which ones don't. In her Varia suit, Samus can be killed by enemies and hazards significantly weaker than an explosion which would have engulfed her in a tight space. Therefore, she was not in the ship when it exploded.

We can go back and forth about which missiles hit all day. The fact remains that Samus's armor is tough enough to take even direct hits from missiles without much harm (her health decrease in the vid from one missile was so little that even if all missiles had scored direct hits, she would've survived with plenty of health to spare) Chief dies from one hit. Therefore, that same steam (or substance that looks like steam) you mentioned would've done way worse to Chief, given that his armor's much weaker.


The fact also remains that you're essentially claiming steam is more powerful than fire. After all, fire barely hurt Master Chief when he was just wearing his MJOLNIR Mark V armor and his armor is supposed to be heat resistant, due to the Covenant's plasma weapons. So actually, the missiles in the Metroid games are weaker than the ones in Halo, just like the weapon cartridges around the world.

Again, the grapple points don't anything other than act as a mere latch for Samus's lasso. No different from a fish hook or a towing hitch. All are completely inanimate and are therefore moved (along with what's attached to it on the receiving end) exclusively by outside forces.


You still haven't answered why Samus could only use the escape pod as the grapple point, instead of the monster itself. Because if the monster's internal stomach wasn't out of her grapple's reach, then neither was its tail or the rest of its limbs. The fact will always remain that Samus wasn't strong enough to pull the monster up by herself, so she needed to rely on a metal object to push against the monster's insides. It doesn't matter if the grapple point is supposed to be just a mere latch, the escape pod is still going against the monster's innards as Samus pulls on it.

Okay. So I guess that means you admit that the strength of an ODST isn't nearly as impressive as you previously tried letting on. And that's even if one was crazy enough to try using them as a weapon.


It seems you can't even remember why the subject of the weight bar was brought up. This had nothing to do with the strength of the ODSTs. You were claiming the ODSTs Master Chief fought were unarmed. I mentioned the weight bar to prove that they weren't and you've been claiming how ridiculous it is to use the bar as a weapon ever since.

Are ODST's extraterrestrial creatures? No.


Did you miss my point? Yes.

No. I'm essentially saying that it's not just ordinary steam since her suit can withstand even lava to an extent throughout the series.

The thyroid implant sped up Chief's growth at 14 to such an extent that even at that age, he "had the body of an 18-year-old"(Halopedia). He didn't have to wait until years later.

If you think I'm trolling, why are you still responding? Is it because you need prove to yourself that you're good at arguing and Samus would win?

I already proved it (and had to explain to you multiple times; falling long distances doesn't phase her whereas Chief had to lock his armor in position just to keep from dying and took a good while to recover afterwards). Fact is, you will never prove that Samus was outside the ship when it exploded.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1QzZ15-L38

For your first attempt at proving Samus was inside the ship when it was destroyed, you claimed her ship doesn't have an ejection system. You never backed up this claim and eventually dropped it.

For your second attempt, you brought up a video of missiles being fired at Samus and failed to realize that she dodged most of them. Backed into a corner, you changed the subject.

So in reality, you've currently failed at proving Samus was inside of the ship when it exploded. Now, you're claiming that long distance falls don't faze her just because Samus can "survive" falls which would kill ordinary humans. Surviving something and being unfazed by something is not the same thing.

You never have and you never will prove Samus was inside the ship when it exploded. And unlike you, I was able to back this statement up. Fact.

Wrong. She was in the ship when it exploded. There's is no evidence that says she wasn't. And I already explained why her armor would be perfectly intact if she had bailed. Plus visibility wouldn't be limited, since she could easily switch to X-ray vision, see past the flames or simply look through the floor to see how close her ship is to the ground, and bail at the right time if there was a way out.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duYwpHH49Q0

You still can't comprehend why the destruction of the ship occurs off-screen. And don't forget the fact that there's no shots of her inside the ship after it gets shot down. Again, surviving is not the same thing as emerging unharmed. X-Ray vision is used to see through solid objects and fire isn't a solid state of matter. It's no easy task to see past flames, especially when you're danger of burning up. Look through the floor? When you're falling diagonally, you can't accurately assess how close the front of the ship is to the ground by looking through the floor. And you forgot about the risk of the ship exploding before colliding with the ground.

Only, it flat out says in Samus's bio that falling those kinds of distances (in or out of the suit) are no problem for her. So BOTH the gameplay AND the story info support my argument.


Actually, it says she can SURVIVE falls which can kill ordinary humans. It doesn't say the exact distances she can survive. It doesn't say how much damage she'll take in the fall. Thinking the story supports your argument is like saying Charla Nash can handle chimpanzees because survived being attacked by one.

You tell me not to use gameplay as proof due to inconsistency, and yet you have no trouble using it to try and support your own argument. Nice work, hypocrite. I guess that means I can use the fact that those laughably weak grunts, cars not even moving at full speed, and short falls can kill Chief (the latter two kill him instantly, BTW).


I told you not to use gameplay as proof in regards to FALLING and nothing in that post you quoted had anything to do with Samus falling.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAxTTt7BDq4

Either you failed reading comprehension or you're just beyond desperate to prove I made a hypocritical post. I'm going with a little of column A and a little of column B.

No. I'm essentially saying that it's not just ordinary steam since her suit can withstand even lava to an extent throughout the series. With that in mind, even the steam in Metroid would kill Chief WAY faster than it would Samus. So actually, the missiles in Metroid are on par if not stronger than the ones in Halo.


She can withstand lava, but she's not impervious to it. So, at the end of the day, you're claiming steam is stronger than fire, based on fanboyism. I'm claiming the missiles in Metroid are weaker than the ones in Halo, because it's possible for certain weapon cartridges to be weaker than others. And nothing you say can disprove this.

So you're just going to take shots at me now by claiming I don't understand your alleged "point", instead of staying on topic. Well played, sir.


Says the guy who didn't respond to my text about the ODSTs not being unarmed, which, silly me, WAS the topic there. Looks like I can't help you.

Ghor's legs were not buckling. In fact, his leg structure itself only looks like a bent/buckled posture yet he can walk around easily. And the Warthog was floating before and after it hit the invisible wall. Not that it matters since floaty vehicles are a common occurrence throughout the series, invisible wall or no invisible wall.


He sure wasn't walking around easily when he when he picked up the ship. He was stumbling backwards as soon as he grabbed it. If you think the Warthog was floating before being launched in the air by the Hunter, it was actually right on top of the Hunter. If that's not what you're talking about, then you're seeing things.

Only once the fight actually started, it didn't open by itself.


So you're under the impression that Ridley deliberately exposed his weak point to Samus.

"Full height is typically attained at age 16 in girls and age 18 in boys."

http://books.google.com/books?id=zQGKmbg18J8C&pg=PA385&lpg=PA385&dq=%22full+height%22+%22age+18%22&source=bl&ots=y5geCC4XGt&sig=ROqBKNRdE5MqD2td3t0TxHZN-hg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jnEHT7vNF9DaiQK92d2jCQ&ved=0CGkQ6AEwBw


Notice anything missing? No? I'll spell it out for you: weight and muscle mass. Even your link notes that muscle mass peaks at 18 TO 25, but can also be increased through "exercise, diet, or both." So even if Master Chief was the same height as the ODSTs, it's unlikely that his muscle mass was the same.

The thyroid implant sped up Chief's growth at 14 to such an extent that even at that age, he "had the body of an 18-year-old"(Halopedia). He didn't have to wait until years later.


But because he wasn't 18, he could still grow and he could still increase his muscle mass. 18-year olds typically aren't 6'10 and built like professional bodybuilders.

And that picture still looks like too much of an amateurish mess of a drawing to prove anything. But I guess you'll scrape up any obscure thing you can find at this point

Anyone not completely in denial can tell Master Chief is smaller than the ODSTs in that official illustration. It'll be only a matter of time before you drop this point.

Coming from a guy who knows all the pages on Wikitroid and couldn't tell me his NUMBER OF VALID POSSIBILITIES for why a weight bar would be in a boxing ring.
You couldn't find any iron clad evidence that any ODST picked it up, let alone used it against Chief (eg. a picture that actually shows an ODST holding or swinging the f&%king thing would be nice), and yet you try and mock me for actually doing the research (on both combatants no less)? Well my bad for not being nearly as half-assed as you.

says the guy who didn't respond to my text about the ODSTs not being unarmed, which, silly me, WAS the topic there. Looks like I can't help you.
Responding would've been redundant, considering you couldn't prove any of them were armed in the first place.


If you think I'm trolling, why are you still responding? Is it because you need prove to yourself that you're good at arguing and Samus would win?
No. I'm trying to help you man up and admit that Samus would win.



So you're under the impression that Ridley deliberately exposed his weak point to Samus.

Maybe he was putting on an arrogant display. Maybe was making a final pre-fight check to see if if the armor was functioning properly. Whatever the reason, the fact is the armor didn't open up by itself again once the fight started.



He sure wasn't walking around easily when he when he picked up the ship. He was stumbling backwards as soon as he grabbed it. If you think the Warthog was floating before being launched in the air by the Hunter, it was actually right on top of the Hunter. If that's not what you're talking about, then you're seeing things.
That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying it would've virtually drifted or floated back down to the ground whether it bounced off an invisible wall or not, since it happens all the time in the series. So all this feat proves is that the vehicles in Halo are insanely light. So it's no real accomplishment for the Hunter.

So even if Master Chief was the same height as the ODSTs, it's unlikely that his muscle mass was the same.
Considering the muscular enhancement injections plus the thyroid implant Chief underwent by this point, it'd be dumb to claim his muscle mass was still in no way comparable to the ODSTs.

Anyone not completely in denial can tell Master Chief is smaller than the ODSTs in that official illustration. It'll be only a matter of time before you drop this point.
Sorry but one hastily drawn illustration with an unclear grasp on perspective still doesn't convince me.

She can withstand lava, but she's not impervious to it. So, at the end of the day, you're claiming steam is stronger than fire, based on fanboyism. I'm claiming the missiles in Metroid are weaker than the ones in Halo, because it's possible for certain weapon cartridges to be weaker than others. And nothing you say can disprove this.
Like I said, if her suit can withstand lava which is obviously WAY hotter than steam, then what was coming out of those walls was likely a much more dangerous substance that merely looked like steam. You'd have to be stupid to think that regular steam (as in simple evaporated water) can harm something strong enough to resist magma. So NOTHING you say can prove the missiles in Halo are stronger than the ones in Metroid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1QzZ15-L38

For your first attempt at proving Samus was inside the ship when it was destroyed, you claimed her ship doesn't have an ejection system. You never backed up this claim and eventually dropped it.

So in reality, you've currently failed at proving Samus was inside of the ship when it exploded. Now, you're claiming that long distance falls don't faze her just because Samus can "survive" falls which would kill ordinary humans. Surviving something and being unfazed by something is not the same thing.



You never have and you never will prove Samus was inside the ship when it exploded. And unlike you, I was able to back this statement up. Fact.
If you need an entire Youtube vid just to say one word, that doesn't speak well for your intelligence. You never proved Samus's ship did have an ejection system. I proved that if it did, she easily would've bailed out and her suit would've remained intact. Fact. If missles, lava, and your epic bitching aren't nearly enough to immediately destroy her armor, then a simple fall isn't going to destroy it. I know I'm probably going to have to tell you ALL this a bunch more times since it likely hasn't sunk into your thick skull yet.




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duYwpHH49Q0

You still can't comprehend why the destruction of the ship occurs off-screen. And don't forget the fact that there's no shots of her inside the ship after it gets shot down. Again, surviving is not the same thing as emerging unharmed. X-Ray vision is used to see through solid objects and fire isn't a solid state of matter. It's no easy task to see past flames, especially when you're danger of burning up. Look through the floor? When you're falling diagonally, you can't accurately assess how close the front of the ship is to the ground by looking through the floor. And you forgot about the risk of the ship exploding before colliding with the ground.
And just like that, I was right about having to repeat myself. **read my previous response just above**

And once again, good job putting in the effort to post a youtube vid in order to express what someone with a normal functioning brain can easily say on his/her own.

I told you not to use gameplay as proof in regards to FALLING and nothing in that post you quoted had anything to do with Samus falling.

Either you failed reading comprehension or you're just beyond desperate to prove I made a hypocritical post. I'm going with a little of column A and a little of column B.
Oh, but you are a hypocrite. You say I cant use a vid of Samus falling to prove how durable her armor is, but think it's perfectly alright for you to use NO PROOF AT ALL to prove that Samus had her armor destroyed by a fall from allegedly jumping out of her ship.

Or maybe it just wasn't securely fastened. Tim Sylvia was able to move his arm after Frank Mir put him in an armbar, but that doesn't mean his arm wasn't broken. In other words, just because something appear to be working right, doesn't mean it really is.

Now you're going back on what you said with your current statement by claiming the Warthog WOULD have floated, because the idea of an enemy in Halo being stronger than a Metroid boss would give you an aneurysm.

Considering the muscular enhancement injections plus the thyroid implant Chief underwent by this point, it'd be dumb to claim his muscle mass was still in no way comparable to the ODSTs.


Considering how you've already made a big deal over the Halo Wiki stating John had the body of an 18 year old at the time he fought the ODSTs, it would be dumb to claim his muscle mass was comparable to someone who's muscle mass already naturally peaked and was able to enhance it even further through his rigorous training.

Sorry but one hastily drawn illustration with an unclear grasp on perspective still doesn't convince me.


Nope, you're convinced. But you won't admit it because:

Samus' suit is damaged by touching lava. If it was immune to lava you'd have a convicing argument, but it's not. Master Chief's armor, on the other hand, is specifically designed to hold up against heat based attacks. Only his older suit was damaged by fire. And let's not forget the other things Samus takes damage from.

If you need to focus on a YouTube video being used, forget that the word in the video is censored on the IMDb boards, and not even understand the context of the video, it doesn't speak well for your own intelligence. You're just like Bennett, thinking you're winning, when you have a serious beat down headed your way.

You brought up the claim of Samus' ship not having an ejection system and you never proved it. You went off on how durable Samus' armor is supposed to be, but you never once confirmed that the ship didn't have an ejection system. Now you're going back to your unproven claims to convince yourself that you're correct.

You said it yourself that Samus was wearing her weaker Power Suit when he ship was destroyed, while she was in her Varia Suit when she was hit by missiles in that video you posted. Oops, you've been destroyed by your own words. And to top it all off, you dismiss Samus falling from the top of the sky as a "simple fall."

Now you're going to back peddle again to your refuted point because you can't admit you're wrong.

Typical attitude of someone who can't stand the fact that I'm scratching on the truth. I already proved Samus had her armor destroyed by a fall that occurred in the game's story because there's no way she can survive an engulfing explosion at point blank range when she's killed by far weaker attacks.

And you refuse to discuss the fact that the ship exploded off-screen.

Standing up to molten lava is obviously more impressive than standing up to minor fire hazards. And if all those creatures/attacks you listed are strong/powerful enough to harm that kind of armor, then they'd go right through Chief's even weaker armor and kill him with minimal effort, perhaps even faster than they took to kill Samus who was in fact starting off with a tiny fraction of her full health in those vids (or did you not notice that?). But it makes sense that handicapping Samus is the only way Chief stands a chance.

Or maybe it just wasn't securely fastened. Tim Sylvia was able to move his arm after Frank Mir put him in an armbar, but that doesn't mean his arm wasn't broken. In other words, just because something appear to be working right, doesn't mean it really is.

"Samus crash-landed back on Zebes near the Space Pirate Mothership; she survived, but her gunship and even her Power Suit were destroyed in the explosion" (Wikitroid)

The parts in bold specify that Samus was in fact in the ship when it exploded. Plain as day.

First, you claim the Warthog "practically floated in the air after being launched." Then, you claim the Warthog "was floating before and after it hit the invisible wall." Now you're going back on what you said with your current statement by claiming the Warthog WOULD have floated, because the idea of an enemy in Halo being stronger than a Metroid boss would give you an aneurysm.
I implied it would've floated (or drifted) downwards period, since Halo vehicles tend to do that just about all the time whether by getting shot into the air or merely driving off a cliff. The descent is so slow for a vehicle, it means they're light enough for that particular Hunter feat to even be possible.



Considering how you've already made a big deal over the Halo Wiki stating John had the body of an 18 year old at the time he fought the ODSTs, it would be dumb to claim his muscle mass was comparable to someone who's muscle mass already naturally peaked and was able to enhance it even further through his rigorous training.

It's not plain as day when you're using a Wiki that can be edited by anyone. If the primary source (the game itself) backs you up, then it would be plain as day.

Being immune to fire is more impressive than taking damage from molten lava.
Only, Chief isn't immune, not even in the Mark VI. A flamethrower or even touching the residual flames from those lit on fire will kill him, and in both cases way faster than it takes for pure molten lava to kill Samus. So if those creatures and attacks you listed are strong enough to harm Samus's armor which is tough enough to resist lava, then they'll easily rip right through Chief's defenses which hardly hold up against fire.

It is not comparable because natural development can still occur after the artificial muscle augmentations has taken place.

More like arrogance. The ODSTs thought they could take Master Chief because of his size.

According to GameTrailers in their Halo 3 review, the flamethrower was "practically worthless." So between the word of someone desperately trying to discredit Master Chief at every opportunity he can and the word of a reviewer whose job it is to be honest, I'm going with the reviewer. Conclusion: The flamethrower cannot kill him quickly.

I'm not saying you're trolling. I'm saying by your own logic you're trolling. You accuse me of trolling because I'm "irritating others for the sake of irritating," which is exactly what you're doing when you accused me of being "pretty boring and predictable." Quite a double standard you have there.

Again leaving out the fact that Samus is never shown OUTSIDE of her ship in that scene. If Nintendo wanted to indicate that she actually left the ship before it crashed, they would've shown her doing so.


Or maybe Nintendo didn't show her leaving the ship to build suspense over her fate. For instance, if Mad Dog from Hard Boiled was show getting up after a grenade was tossed at him, it wouldn't be a surprise to the audience to discover he was still alive.

I have a better idea. How about I inform you that I already know that anyone can edit a Wiki, that moderators can just as easily edit it back and ban the user for deliberately making up BS, and that the rest of the articles throughout the Wiki - and by extension the many different users who made them - describing the crash all agree that she was in the ship when it exploded (which leaves you in the minority if not the ONLY one denying it).


There's just one problem with your rant here: what I wrote is still up on the wiki. It wasn't edited back. I wasn't banned. The only person accusing me of making up BS is you. The Wikipedia entry on Zero Mission never says Samus was inside the ship when it exploded and I edited the Zero Mission article to more accurately reflect what is shown on screen. From the looks of things, you're the only one who truly believes she was inside the ship.

"It is not comparable because natural development can still occur after the artificial muscle augmentations has taken place."

I never said it can't. I meant that the augmentations, even before further natural development took place, made up for the difference in strength between that of a normal kid his age and a fully grown adult.

"More like arrogance. The ODSTs thought they could take Master Chief because of his size. "

Still doesn't speak favorably about their prowess (or professionalism for that matter) when they feel that beating up a kid makes them superior.


"The fact that you continue to attack my video links confirms to anyone reading this thread that you're the desperate one. Your attempts at using psychological projection have failed yet again. "

Nope. You've only proved once again that you're the desperate one by trying to accuse me of "psychological projection" when all I've done is call you out on your poor attempts to mock me. But keep proving me right by continuing to accuse me of it.

The GT review never said WHY they felt the flamethrower was worthless. The areas where the flamethrower suffers is in range and reload time. But the fire itself is enough to kill Chief in short order on contact, as this video shows.

Hell, even a brief burst from it will kill Chief (at full shields and health) in 4 seconds flat.

"Or maybe Nintendo didn't show her leaving the ship to build suspense over her fate. For instance, if Mad Dog from Hard Boiled was show getting up after a grenade was tossed at him, it wouldn't be a surprise to the audience to discover he was still alive."

Hard Boiled (a John Woo film) and Zero Mission(a 16-bit Nintendo video game)are obviously not the same thing nor made by the same people. Nintendo never showed Samus leaving the ship. Samus in her narrative never even said she jumped out of the ship. Therefore, she was in the ship when it exploded.

"I'm not saying you're trolling. I'm saying by your own logic you're trolling. You accuse me of trolling because I'm "irritating others for the sake of irritating," which is exactly what you're doing when you accused me of being "pretty boring and predictable." Quite a double standard you have there."

Like I said, I don't care whether your irritated or not that I find you boring and predictable. So therefore, I'm not trolling.

"She didn't need to shoot the armor because it was already weakened."

If it had been weakened, she could've saved time and blasted it open. But since it was in fact at full strength, she needed to rip it open.


"There's just one problem with your rant here: what I wrote is still up on the wiki. It wasn't edited back. I wasn't banned. The only person accusing me of making up BS is you. The Wikipedia entry on Zero Mission never says Samus was inside the ship when it exploded and I edited the Zero Mission article to more accurately reflect what is shown on screen. From the looks of things, you're the only one who truly believes she was inside the ship."

Correction: Me, the person who originally wrote the article you edited, and others who wrote similar statements around the incident on the same site know she was inside the ship. You're the only one who believes she wasn't.

I never said it can't. I meant that the augmentations, even before further natural development took place, made up for the difference in strength between that of a normal kid his age and a fully grown adult.


Yes, the augmentations gave him the strength at a young age, and he only got stronger as he got older.

Still doesn't speak favorably about their prowess (or professionalism for that matter) when they feel that beating up a kid makes them superior.


You're missing a very important detail- the kid was supposed to be superior to them. Beating up a more elite unit would have made them feel superior.

Nope. You've only proved once again that you're the desperate one by trying to accuse me of "psychological projection" when all I've done is call you out on your poor attempts to mock me. But keep proving me right by continuing to accuse me of it.


I've been on YouTube long enough to know that "Nope" translates into "YOU PROVED ME WRONG, BUT I'M IN DENIAL!" Now you're shifting gears. This isn't about me mocking you, this is about me calling you out on your desperation for trying to mock me for my video links.

Weird, Master Chief isn't in that video.

Correction: a brief burst will kill a multiplayer Spartan in 4 seconds. Multiplayer Spartan =/= Master Chief.

Hard Boiled (a John Woo film) and Zero Mission(a 16-bit Nintendo video game)are obviously not the same thing nor made by the same people. Nintendo never showed Samus leaving the ship. Samus in her narrative never even said she jumped out of the ship. Therefore, she was in the ship when it exploded.


Predictably, you completely ignored my main point (Samus wasn't shown leaving her ship to build suspense over her fate) and attacked my analogy. And you didn't do a very good job at attacking it, because at the end of the day, Hard Boiled and Zero Mission are the same thing- a form of fictional entertainment viewed through a screen powered by technology. Samus in her narrative never said she was on the ship when it exploded. Once again, Samus wasn't shown leaving her ship to build suspense over her fate.

Like I said, I don't care whether your irritated or not that I find you boring and predictable. So therefore, I'm not trolling.


If you don't care, why did you bring the subject up? Like I said, I'm not saying you're trolling. By your own words, you're trolling.

If it had been weakened, she could've saved time and blasted it open. But since it was in fact at full strength, she needed to rip it open.


Not sure how that would work. If Ridley's armor needed to be pulled open, shooting it would not accomplish that goal.

Correction: Me, the person who originally wrote the article you edited, and others who wrote similar statements around the incident on the same site know she was inside the ship. You're the only one who believes she wasn't.


I'm not surprised that you were the one who wrote the article. Which pretty much destroys any validity that wiki entry had. Thing is, I'm not saying she was or wasn't in the ship when she exploded. I'm telling it as the game depicts it and nobody but you cares to change it. You can claim I'm the only one who believes Samus wasn't in the ship all you want, but it means nothing when you can't back it up and my edit to Wikitroid is still up.

I didn't write the article. I meant "me" and "the person who wrote the article" as two distinct individuals. Sorry if you misread. And you still are the only one who believes Samus wasn't in the ship while the rest of us know she was as the game depicts. You cant prove otherwise.

No. By my own words, I'm letting you know how effective your response is. Whether it elicits a reaction from you or not doesn't interest me.

No. She wasn't shown leaving the ship because she was still on the ship when it exploded. She didn't need to say she was still on the ship because that was obvious from the start.

They both have the same Mk IV armor health and shielding. So Chief would die the same way.

You're missing a very important detail- the kid was supposed to be superior to them. Beating up a more elite unit would have made them feel superior.
3 full grown men (one with a clumsy makeshift weapon in constrained quarters) attacking one kid still demonstrates just how insecure and incompetent these ODSTs were.

I know. I've gone over Chief's strength at adulthood (with and without armor) with you quite a few times now.

You can claim I can't "prove otherwise" all you want; your claims mean nothing when you can't support them. The proof is in the Wikitroid article on Zero Mission, which still has my edit up. If it was incorrect, it would have been changed back a long time ago.

Then that means it wasn't weakened as you claimed it was.


No, that means the armor could only be pulled open. The hinges holding the armor in place were weakened.

No. By my own words, I'm letting you know how effective your response is. Whether it elicits a reaction from you or not doesn't interest me.


Yet you continue to show interest in my responses.

No. She wasn't shown leaving the ship because she was still on the ship when it exploded. She didn't need to say she was still on the ship because that was obvious from the start.


No refutations? I knew you really agreed with me. Now you just have to finally admit the truth.

They both have the same Mk IV armor health and shielding. So Chief would die the same way.


They don't, the attributes of characters and weapons in multiplayer differ from their attributes in single player.

And just like that, you've proven me right. Your video links are so important to you that you have to try and take shots at me for making you realize just how useless they are.


Once again, you attempt to shift gears to cover up your desperation. Unfortunately, you get caught up in your own words again, because you were already trying to take shots at me for just linking videos. And the fact that certain words get censored on the IMDb forums is still lost on you. What a shame.

William Randolph Hearst called, he wants his journalism style back.

Which is why he will destroy Samus in a one on one fight.

For reasons already covered, that's not going to happen.

So you have no excuse for those ODSTs being utter jokes even among their own ranks. Okay then.

Says the guy who "shifted gears" by bringing up William Randolph Hearst instead of coming up with any relevant defense.


They don't, the attributes of characters and weapons in multiplayer differ from their attributes in single player.
If they do, then it's not enough for any noticeable difference in flamethrower damage.


No refutations? I knew you really agreed with me. Now you just have to finally admit the truth.
No, I already refuted it. You're the one who agrees with me since you didn't refute me as evidenced by your post I'm quoting.


Yet you continue to show interest in my responses.
I have at least enough politeness to respond to you instead of outright ignoring you.

No, that means the armor could only be pulled open. The hinges holding the armor in place were weakened.
If they were, then they would've eventually broken off from futher attacks.

The game itself already supports my claims. All your little edit proves is that you think your own unsupported claims are evidence in themselves.

So my joke went over your head. Figures. By this point, any fabricated criticism coming from your mindset is practically complimenting the ODSTs.

Just because you don't understand what I said doesn't mean I was changing the subject. Maybe when you pass high school, you'll learn who William Randolph Hearst is and figure out the relevance. Maybe.

If they do, then it's not enough for any noticeable difference in flamethrower damage.


The basis of this statement is... absolutely nothing.

No, I already refuted it. You're the one who agrees with me since you didn't refute me as evidenced by your post I'm quoting.


I didn't need to. You have no refutation towards Samus not being shown leaving her ship to build suspense over her fate. Instead of trying to refute this, you backpedaled to your original and unproven statement and stuck your head up your ass.

Yes, because you show interest in how I respond to your attempts at irritating me- which according to you is trolling.

That would involve actually shooting the hinges and the hinges don't appear to be a target in the game.

Keeping ignoring the fact that Samus is never shown inside the ship when it explodes and the fact that my edit is still up! You probably can't sleep at night anymore with the knowledge of Samus escaping from her ship before it was destroyed eating away at you.

No. Not for my argument. It is for yours though.

No. I got the joke just fine. It's just that it utterly fails to help your case.

Rest assured, I already know it has zero relevance as a rebuttal to what I said.

Just because you got irritated doesn't mean any attempt was made on my part.

That could easily be because the hinges are concealed or protected or any other of a number of reasons.

Multiplayer or singleplayer, those are still Spoartan II's wearing Mark V armor. So durability is similar if not the same. So I have all the basis required. Sorry.

Samus was not shown leaving her ship in ANY of the scenes (when it got blasted, when it entered the planets atmosphere, when it plummeted to the ground and exploded). This is only further supported by the fact that Samus handles falls just fine in virtually all the games. So the only one guilty of shoving his own head up his ass is you.

I never said I was irritated. You try to irritate me, something you consider to be trolling. Good thing you've got a double standard going to convince yourself that you aren't trolling.

Ridley's weak point is concealed, but it still can be targeted. You already said there were a number of reasons for why a weight bar would be lying in a boxing ring, but couldn't prove it. So I take your claim with a grain of salt.

Multiplayer or singleplayer, those are still Spoartan II's wearing Mark V armor. So durability is similar if not the same. So I have all the basis required. Sorry.


Even you know you're making this up. Multiplayer attributes are not the same as single player attributes and nothing you say can change this fact. Especially when you can't even get the armor type right.

Says the guy who keeps backpedaling on this point. I already told you that games are never consistent when it comes to the protagonist falling. Face it, Samus is never shown inside the ship when it explodes. You brought this claim up, you prove it. Until then, the fact stands that the game doesn't depict Samus staying on her ship when it crash lands and my edit to Wikitroid still remains up.
