Osrik Guest | I Really enjoy how all of you are basing anything Samus and MC off of game mechanics and not real-world physics, back history etc.
Let’s start things off with good ol MC.
Masterchief:
By cyborg, he’s not half man half machine super man. No, he’s got implants, a reinforced skeletal structure, enhanced muscles and elite marine training and experience. (Fall of Reach, read it.)
Masterchief is a human, if he is shot, he bleeds, if he loses and eye- well he loses and eye. He’s not superman.
Now then, take a human, slap some super-grade military armor on him and you have a very HEAVY hero. He now comes packaged with layers of bulletproof plating, an air-tight epidermal layer (space suit), a motion tracking radar, and a personal HUD with an external interface (USB, sorta kinda whatever. IE Holocube. Cortana blah blah blah. Now then all this talk about weapons, how he’s so great with them, do you honestly think he can HOLD all these weapons at once, or that he can drive all these vehicles at once or that they’re readily available? Chances are slim to none.
He’s strong? Yep. he’s heavy, yep. Fast? You ever try wearing a suit that weighs more than you? There’s a reason it has all the bells and whistles- just to help him no lock up and get crushed (hence the implants and reinforced skeletal structure. Toss on a self regenerating shield and you’ve basically got a humanoid tank. Slow moving, smart, and experienced.
Ah, now to my favorite. Samus.
Samus Aran:
Raised by chozo, and (although I can’t remember it’s too early to try) has Chozo DNA infused with her own. Raised with Chozo influence, a Hyper-Intelligent race. (Smarts! She has them! Lots of them!) She left Zebes with the Power suit, specifically crafted for her with pinnacle Chozo tech.
Samus became a Bounty Hunter for the Galactic Federation- IE she works alone.
The Power suit is a highly adaptable, highly versatile armor that can incorporate different and many varied weapon, equipment, programs and upgrades into itself. Her Power beam, the arm Cannon runs off of a limitless power source, and as a standard weapon, is moderately powerful. Standard stuff is her Power and charged beam, missiles, and morph ball. Plenty of mobility and weaponry, never worrying about ammunition in the long run. Renewable energy tanks that absorb damage (from what I gather is how it’s physics work)
now takes Samus' experience. She’s destroyed an entire race of highly evolved beings- the metroids. Strong, quick, mobile, and can suck the 'life force' from it’s victims. Pretty nasty. All this was done singlehandedly. Then there’s the space pirates, more highly advanced alien specie.
Let’s not forget that Samus has her own personal gunship with intergalactic travel capabilities.
How many times has she saved the Galaxy now?
Now let’s pan these out.
Masterchief:
-Military Elite
-Military grade suit
-Varied weapons training
-Reinforced body
-Saved the galaxy once
-Fought Humans, Covenant and Flood
Samus:
-Hyper-advanced power suit
-Basic weaponry is self replenishing
-Chozo knowledge
-Works alone
-Highly Mobile (Acrobatic)
-Highly adaptable
-Fought Metroids, Space Pirates, X Parasites, Ing, Phazon Beings, Etc, Etc, Etc.
-Personal interstellar ship
-Saved the Galaxy a lot more than once.
I’m going to get on wit hit. Samus has MC outclassed in almost every aspect. True MC is a badass marine and such. he’s good, he’s awesome, but he’s just not up to par with Samus' superior tech and experience.
I’d like to see how MC gets a metroid off of himself some time. |
