Metroid Vs. Halo
I've heard a lot recently over the past few weeks about both the Metroid Prime series and the Halo series. So I've decided to make a little competition. We're going to have a number of fights between characters in both series, and the game series with the most winners at the end wins the "challenge."
Round 1: Common Villians: Space Pirates vs. Covenant
Space Pirates, from what I've seen, really only carry a few weapons around, such as scythes, guns, and this weird grapple shield thingy in MP3. The Covenant carries a wide selection of weapons, (gravity hammer, energy sword, spiker, energy rifle) and there are a lot of different varieties(Elites, Grunts, Brutes, and those STUPID HUNTERS!!!!). I think the only problem the Covenant would have is the Omega Pirate and Ridley, and they could probably do away with those two in the end.
EDGE: Halo(Barely)
Round 2: Main Antagonist: Dark Samus vs. Gravemind
It's on, as one person the size of a regular human take on a huge entity which has a really annoying tendency to yell things in Master Chief's ears throughout the course of Halo 3. I think that Dark Samus wouldn't really stand much of a chance, although even with it's(wears a girl's suit and laughs like a man, what are you supposed to call it? A he-she?) annoying tendency to come back to life, Gravey might have to win about a couple dozen times before getting the edge.
EDGE: Halo
Round 3: Best Friend: Rundas vs. Sgt. Johnson
I was a little more than angry when both Rundas and Johnson died(Rundas on Bryyo and Johnson just before Chief lights the ring), and now the two get to come back from the dead to fight it out for the most powerful best friend in the game. Rundas controls ice, rides around the room like the silver surfer, and saves you from hitting the bottom of a 16,000(I believe) yard shaft on Norion. Johnson doesn't really have anything to contend up with that. This is sort of a mismatch, in my opinion.
EDGE: Metroid (Halo leads 2-1)
Round 4: Secondary Villains: Metroids vs. Flood
Metroids are supposed to be one of the main enemies in the whole Metroid series, but they kind of got left out in MP2 and MP3. The Flood really only made a huge appearance at the end of Halo 3 after the Arbiter kills the Prophet. So who would win? The Flood, as annoying as they are, have a problem. The Metroids only have to latch onto them and then they're basically dead since they can't roll up into a Morph Ball and plant a bomb. So the Flood will have to be really good at keeping them at bay or they won't last very long.
EDGE: Metroid (Tied 2-2)
Final Showdown: Samus Aran vs. Master Chief
Everyone's been waiting for this, right? Of course. To me, there are three things that go in Samus' favor, although the fight could end in either one winning, I guess.
#1: Throughout the Prime series and all Metroid games, Samus collects a lot of energy tanks, meaning that if you fully armed both of them and sent them into an arena, Samus would have about 15 times the health Chief has. And no matter how many rockets Chief could fires off, he would last about a minute at most.
#2: A lot of Samus' weapons(Plasma Beam, Nova Beam, Ice Beam) have unlimited ammo. Which means that if she could dodge Master Chief's attacks, it would definitely be an easy kill. The only thing she seems to be limited in is missiles and the beams from MP2(Light, Dark, Annihilator), and she has about 250 of those at the end of the game, so it's not like she'd be running short. Chief, on the other hand, starts with 32 assault rifle, his most powerful weapons only have about 6 shots in them, so he'd have to be very careful on when to use them.
#3: Samus has this little feature where she curls up into a ball and can roll around the room(hence the name "Morph Ball"). She has a number of attacks in this, the bomb, power bomb, and my personal favorite (only in MP3) the Hyper Ball. As if this fight was going bad enough for Chief already.
After seeing that, you could make a case that therefore Chief does more than Samus with less. But you have to remember that the Prime series is filled with huge boss fights, such as Mogenar, Omega Pirate, Emperor Ing, AU 313, Meta and Omega Ridley, and a number of fights against Dark Samus. So, as for who would win a fight in their own armor? My money is on Samus. Who really is the better fighter without armor? We may never know, since stupid Bungie will never give Chief a face.
EDGE: Metroid(who wins 3-2)
Am I right? Am I wrong? Do I have absolutely no clue what I'm talking about? Vote here for who you think would win:
#1 Space Pirates vs. Covenant
#2 Dark Samus vs. Gravemind
#3 Rundas vs. Sgt. Johnson
#4 Metroids vs. Flood
#5 Samus vs. Master Chief
