Now, don’t get me wrong here, I love Halo. It’s just, I’ve come to realize that Samus is way more Bad Ass then Master Chief. You might not realize it yet, but I’m sure by the end of this countdown, it will open a new light in your eyes.
10. She shows her face.
While Master Chief runs around in his helmet all day long, probably sweating like a dog, Samus is…well she’s pretty much doing the same thing. Except for the fact that after Samus gets done doing her mission, she shows a little gut, and takes off her helmet to show the world that she is female. Honestly, for all we know, Master Chief could be a girl too…but, lets be honest, if Bungie decided to pull that one on us, Halo would no longer exist.
9. She can morph into a ball.
Ok, so it doesn’t seem like the most useful trick at first; but its actually pretty damn awesome when you start to think about it. Not only is it amazing that she is flexible enough to contort herself into a ball, but its also got some neat little tricks to it as well. For starters, it can lay bombs on the ground, it can climb up walls, and it can boost itself up skateboarding ramps with ease (or at least things shaped like skateboarding ramps). And don’t try and tell me that you guys wouldn’t wanna go out with a chick thats that flexible.
8. She works alone.
Unlike Master Chief, who runs around and takes orders from the “higher ups”, Samus doesn’t taking orders from anyone. Sure, she gets a single order from the Galactic Federation, telling her which planet she needs to go to, but that’s it. From there on out, she does it all on her own, she doesn’t have little foot soldiers running around with her like the Chief does. The only time Samus actually took orders from someone in a game, was during fusion and Metroid Prime three. Not to mention that at the end of fusion she blew up the space station! I don’t see Master Chief blowing up any of his allied space stations.
7. She is the mother to a Metroid.
So, it’s not technically her child, but if you’ve played Super Metroid or Metroid II, then you know that a certain Metroid mistakes Samus for being it’s mother. Don’t tell me that being the mother to a creature that sucks the life out of anything it touches, isn’t awesome. Plus, this Metroid was about five times the size of an average one, as far as I’m concerned, that makes it five times as awesome. Along with how it saved her life a couple times is pretty awesome too. Lets face it, no matter how hard Master Chief tries, he could never have a child as awesome as a Metroid.
6. From Bounty Hunter to Outlaw.
There has been ten Metroid games in total, and throughout all of those games Samus has been a Bounty Hunter: Working for the Federation. But, as stated earlier, she did end up blowing up one of the Federations space station at the end of Metroid Fusion. And did she care? Of course not. She is gonna blow em up, one way or another. In the next Metroid game, we can expect Samus to now be fighting off Galactic Federation troops, along with aliens of all sort.
5. She has a cannon for an arm.
Assuming Master Chief and Samus were fighting, who do you think would win? Lets see, the Chief would be running around the entire place, looking for various weapons lying around. While Samus would just whip out her arm and start firing missiles (both normal, and super) at him simultaneously. Don’t run from the obvious, Samus would kick Master Chief’s ass in a fight. Altogether, her arm has 10 different guns (all that can be charged), 6 different missiles, and even a laser beam grappling hook.
4. She has kick ass suits.
Master Chief, sure his suit if cool, but all it has is a shield and a flashlight. Samus, on the other hand, has a barrage of suits at her disposal. She has one that can walk through water, just as if it were on land. She has one that allows her to walk through lava, without getting burned. She even has one that lets he walk on top of Phazon: One of the deadliest substances in the entire Universe. Sometimes, she doesn’t even use a suit, she will run around with her pistol, and her blue skin tight clothes, and take on those Space Pirates.
3. She fights awesome enemies.
Samus has fought awesome bosses and enemies alike. Whether it be a statue that comes to life, a gigantic rock golem, or a humongous dinosaur that can shoot spikes out of its belly. Or maybe she’ll just fight some smaller thing, like Space Pirates, Metroid, or alien bee’s. Hell, it wouldn’t surprise me if in the next game she fought a two headed bear with lobster claws and a scorpion tail, she’d probably get some new god-like suit from it too, who knows.
2. Her arch enemy is a Dragon.
While Master Chief doesn’t technically have a single arch enemy, Samus does. Ridley is his name, and if you don’t know who he is, then you’ve never played a Metroid game before. He always seems to come back too (just like Freddy and Jason). You kill him once, he comes back again in the next game. Kill him again, you find out that Space Pirates rebuilt him, making him part robot (commonly known as Mecha Ridley). He just doesn’t give up! Either way, Ridley has got to be one of the coolest arch enemies I’ve ever seen. I doubt Master Chief ever fought a dragon. Much less one that’s half robot.
1. She loves to blow up planets.
Come on guys. If blowing up planets isn’t completely bad ass, then I don’t know what is. Sure, Master Chief has helped blow up a Halo or two, but he has never done it single handedly. Not only that, Samus seems to do it more than just on occasion. Sometimes it’s on purpose, sometimes it’s and accident, either way, Samus loves blowing up planets, along with a couple Space Stations here and there.
Hopefully, by now, you realize just how bad ass Samus is. Unlike Mr. Goodie Two Shoes Master Chief, Samus doesn’t take shit from anyone, or anything. I bet she’d take on god if he got in her way.
Aug 1, 2008 at 18:43:41
I totally agree. I mean- 5. She has a cannon for an arm.
That could be the article itself and it would still get the point across.
But Ridley is awesome and blowing up planets is kickass too, so kudos Samus, kudos to you.
Aug 2, 2008 at 07:12:45
This is ridiculous…. Samus would win in a fight yes.. but you gave the kiddiest answers for your reasons. Master Chief has the shittiest life in existence. He was taken from his parents without either of the will and trained to work as their pawn his whole life. And Master Chief blew up a fucking HALO, not a stupid ass space station, which he has indeed blown up before.
P.S. Number 7 was fucking stupid.
Aug 2, 2008 at 08:43:12
kelly, samus’s parents were killed by ridley in an invasion, and she was the only survivo, so take your shit out of here.
Aug 2, 2008 at 09:00:51
Also, Samus was only 3 when she saw her parents die along with everyone else she knew and loved. Then she went with the Chozo and had to be given their DNA or else she would have died there too. Then she had to deal with the Chozo being killed too! So her second family was dead too.
So yeah, Master Chief had an easier life considering.
Aug 2, 2008 at 10:44:27
Well, Samus turning into a morph ball doesn’t have anything to do with her flexibility. The Power Suit turns her body into energy when she morphs into the morph ball.
Aug 2, 2008 at 10:52:16
lol, Samus had two families die.
Aug 2, 2008 at 11:13:37
Nice list, but! You forgot the most important thing: The Screwattack! Seriously that thing will shred anything it touches into pieces, plus it makes her impervious to pretty much any weapon.
How can Master Cheif beat that? Like how?!
Aug 2, 2008 at 11:23:10
This is retarded. Master chief is like a fighting machine who did single handedly destroy like 4 halos and the ark, and he knows how to use and reload over 50 weapons. Also he can FLIP TANKS! That is insane. Samus can’t do any thing other than like roll into a ball and shoot nerf darts.
Aug 2, 2008 at 12:06:05
Samus has more health.
Aug 2, 2008 at 12:12:55
Bobic, Samus is responsible for the destruction of 3 planets, 3 giant space stations, and a dark dimension. Her suit allows her to integrate with basically ANY weapon and armor and she can call her ship to do bombs runs. Why would she have to flip a tank when she can just roll into a ball and lay a powerbomb to disintegrate it, and those “Nerf Darts” she shoots would probably do more damage than any of the 2 weapons MC can carry. It’s really unfair how much more powered Samus is compared to MC.
Aug 2, 2008 at 12:16:03
too bad she loses all of her abilities between games…
not to mention she’s barred down by the fact that she has to solve 3 puzzles before opening that next door.
Aug 2, 2008 at 12:42:10
He would win though. He has superior training and could pwn samus in an instant. BTW U SUKLOLLOLOLOIL
Aug 2, 2008 at 14:02:58
Ahh, Samus is so awesome… The fact that she can run through various walls and enemies, charge herself up and FLY like a rocketeer, and ALSO heal herself completely using her power suit like a power-up womb is too awesome!!
Aug 2, 2008 at 14:30:57
There is no contest here, compared to Samus, MC is a pussy.
This is coming from someone who loves playing Halo too, so I’m
not biased. Samus is just completely overpowered compared to
MC, I don’t see how anyone could argue.
Aug 2, 2008 at 14:43:49
“He would win though. He has superior training and could pwn samus in an instant.”
Samus was trained by a race even more superior than Humans or hell even the Elites.
Aug 2, 2008 at 15:32:45
MC would get destroyed. Completely. Samus is much, MUCH more agile, has better fire power and is much better trained than anything MC has to offer. Plus, since we’re saying Prime is canon, she could just scan MC and find some “fuck him up” flaw in his armor and use it to kill quite literally every single MC on Xbox Live. All because someone paid her to do it.
P.S. She’s not an outlaw. The X parasite fiasco was a gigantic experiment gone horribly wrong.
Aug 2, 2008 at 15:38:03
Samus would win before the fight even started. Heck, she could win in her most stripped down form. Next discussion…
Aug 2, 2008 at 15:56:58
She would never win with her full armor, because he would have an unfair advantage, and definitely stripped down. That is soft flesh. MC has diamond armor. A single bullet (or supercharged punch) could kill her. There is no comparison. It is totally not fair.
Aug 2, 2008 at 15:59:02
Samus has a vagina………nuf said.
Aug 2, 2008 at 16:09:28
First off, Im a big Halo player. Next, Im a humongous Metroid geek. So Im going to say this with the least amount of fanboy in me as possible. But that probably wont happen.
Samus would obliterate Master Chief.
Unlike what Bobic states about Chief having better training, Samus was trained by a super-advanced alien race that would rape any Covenant or Elite by just thinking about them.
Second, Kelly seems to think Master Chief had a shitty life. Boo hoo he was taken from his parents to be trained. At least his parents werent taken from him… PERMANENTLY… WHEN YOU WERE 3… AND IN FRONT OF YOUR VERY OWN EYES… BY A BADASS DRAGON…AND THEN HE GOES AND KILLS EVERYONE ELSE YOU KNOW AND LOVE…THEN YOURE TAKEN FROM YOUR HOME TO AN INHOSPITALE (to humans) PLANET TO BE TRAINED BY AN ADVANCED RACE! Sorry for the all caps, but Master Chief looks like his life was a Hollywood story compared to Samus.
Another reference from Bobic, he didnt single handedly destroy anything you said. He had the help of the enitre Marines branch, the Arbiter/Elites, and whatnot. Im sorry but honestly, this is one of the most unfair fights ever. Samus :Ice Beam + Missle = Dead Chief. And thats only using standard weapons.
Metroid FTW. Dont worry Halo, I still love you though. But I love CoD4 more. >:)
Aug 2, 2008 at 17:12:00
Master chief had almost no help from anyone the only help he had was like getting to the halo. No aliens could have trained a 3 year old better than the UNITED NATIONS SPACE COMMAND. She just wears a suit, while he can hardly take it off, because its so integrated into him. Next thread..
Aug 2, 2008 at 17:32:43
no no no MC is cooler because he is the most important part of something much bigger and grimmer and i believe one of the cov capital ships the chief blew up is bigger than thespace stations samus blew up and well in my expert opinion MC would win. a lot of you say samus’ life was worse, what a load of crap, john was taken from his first family never to see them again, then enduered years of harsh training and ecrusiating medical sergeries only to see his best friend/family die, then the war got worse and he watched as many of his spartans died and on his last mission before halo he sent he sent the last of them to there deaths. now as for weapons so he can only hold 2 weapons but he could call in support like a MAC round or activate halo or he could use a easly found mod in combination like 20x over shield with 90% damage reduction with smgs that shoot plasma nads. or he could use my favorite attack which is turn all the foul language use by 12 year olds on XBL into a ball of guided energy
so mods + XBL=dead samus
Aug 2, 2008 at 18:42:02
Mods? Why would you even say that? How can cheating have anything to do with who is the strongest? How about i flop in my GameShark(Action Replay) in my GameCube and turned the immortality code on, or the Phazon Beam on?
Look here is what the battle would look like: They stand in front of each other, Samus rolls in to Morph Ball, Master Chief can barly hit her (even with a lock-on function, it’s hard to keep track of) Samus deplois a Power Bomb - BOOM! - Master Chief would be blown to smithereens.
Even stripped from her Power Suit, Zero Suit Samus (in Metroid Zero Mission for GBA) still managed to infiltrate the Space Pirates mothership, only equipped whit a stun gun. So how can anyone say she isn’t well trained or completely dependent on her power suit?
Besides why should they fight in the first place? Oh and if any of you had actually read the original Halo books, you would know that Master Chief is a ginger - red haired all the way.
Aug 2, 2008 at 19:11:52
Cmon…..Samus has anything you can thing off.Super Jump(with damage), Super speed(with damage), scan, amazing weapons. Almost 1400 hit points(Thats a shit load of life.)
If you ever played a metroid game you would know samus wins hands down.
Aug 2, 2008 at 21:19:27
i did read the halo books all of them twice a long time ago
of and you said bairly hit her one hit with scarab gun X (
+ if they were fighting on her turf GC Wii chief would win due to the fact that he is too detailed and advanced for the hardware
BTW you didnt comment on the ball of energy
Aug 2, 2008 at 21:20:40
“Even stripped from her Power Suit, Zero Suit Samus (in Metroid Zero Mission for GBA) still managed to infiltrate the Space Pirates mothership, only equipped whit a stun gun. So how can anyone say she isn’t well trained or completely dependent on her power suit?”
well now lets put fisher into this
Aug 2, 2008 at 21:23:42
This is the most retarded comparison ever created; they are on completely different levels in all aspects of gaming. It would be like comparing Mario to Yoda, WHY!? This is clearly to get people stirred up about their favorite character. Now I’m as big of a Halo fan as they come, but I would never make a case for Master Chief although I do think he’s a big hardass. After SNES, I lost interest in Metroid anyway.
Aug 2, 2008 at 22:05:45
Everyone saying Master Chief would win, please die in an orderly fashion.
Aug 3, 2008 at 01:17:30
Hmm… I’m not sure if the point was “Who would win in a Fight?” though it is fun to speculate, ne. I think it’s just a comparison between what makes each character really cool and attractive to gamers. For me, the attraction towards Master Chief was never really his ability as a super soldier or the weapons he used, but his attitude regarding the situations he’s thrown into. He’s definitely got a solid head on his shoulders, much the way I think of Solid Snake. That to me makes him really cool.
Samus on the other hand, while I don’t know how much could be said about her personality, her massive array of weapons and abilities makes her a really attractive character, especially when considering how she’s very much a lone warrior out there.
So to me, I think the level of “Badassery” depends on what criteria you’re looking at: The mentality of the character, or the weapons/accessories they are in command of. I’d go with Master Chief in the former (mainly because I don’t really know what Samus’s personality is like), and for the latter, Samus Aran ALL the way. But BOTH are really cool, mm!
Aug 3, 2008 at 06:56:17
i think all you halo fan boys should stop trying to defend chief. the only reason you are defending hims because you think his games are better. and for such die hard fans of this game i know it is kind of hard to admit that something is better than your beloved character. so everybody should grow a pair and say it with me. Samus… is…better. its not really that hard guys, its only three words.
Aug 3, 2008 at 08:40:27
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL-mR79GErU
Samus Wins. PERIOD.
Aug 4, 2008 at 19:35:18
To Bobic: Master Chief can die if he falls down from high heights, Samus take little to no damage from falling high.
Master Chief can be killed by a melee attack with that deadly covenant blades, Samus can withstand many more blows of deadly space pirates blades.
Master Chief can jump very high, but Samus can even jump between walls or shinespark to reach very high places.
Master Chief shows his strenght flipping up tanks. Samus can tackle the shit out of anything that stands in her way with her incredible speed booster and scroo attack.
Master Chief can multiplayer happily whth a lot of people around the world online. Samus can only play wtih four in the same room and same TV.
Aug 7, 2008 at 11:18:55
Warning:This is a long read.If you are a metroid Fan Boy/Girl and can’t stand to be proven wrong then don’t read or flame me.Okay first things first. John had to familys taken from him.His home world was burned by the covenant. Therefore killing his parents.Plus most of his Spartans died as well.He considered them his family as well.The only spartans(not including gray team or the spartan-III”s)are Kelly,John,Fred,Linda,Maria(graphic novel),and Cassandra.Pkus the genetic enhancements were extremely painful.I’ll quote The books here
Carbide ceramic ossification: The grafting of advanced materials onto the skeletal structure to make bones almost unbreakable. If coverage exceeded 3 percent of the total bone, mass white blood cell necrosis was common. In adolescents, growth spurts could result in bone pulverization.
Muscular enhancement injections: An intra-muscular injection of a protein complex to increase tissue density and decrease lactose recovery time. Increased the risk of a fatal cardiac volume increase.
Catalytic thyroid implant: The implantation of a platinum pellet in the thyroid containing human growth hormone catalyst. This boosted growth of skeletal and muscle tissues. It was known to suppress the sexual drive and cause elephantiasis.
Occipital capillary reversal: Increased blood vessel flow beneath the rods and cones of the retina. Increases visual perception. Known to cause retina rejection and detachment, as well as permanent blindness.
Superconducting fabrication of neural dendrites: Altered the bio-electrical nerve trans-duction to shielded electronic trans-duction. Resulted in a 300 percent increase in reflexes. Showed evidence of an increase in intelligence, memory, and creativity. Often caused Parkinson’s disease and Fletcher’s syndrome.
Without these enhancements he was already extremely strong,With them he was 14 but had the body of an 18 year old athlete. With the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor.You said that samus armor is better.While yes that is true because it is made by an advanced alien race. Johns armor is also extremely good. I’m quoting halopedia here.MJOLNIR Mark V
“The Mark IV Assault Armor was replaced by the newer Mark V the day prior to the Covenant assault on Reach in 2552, though it was first produced in 2542. The Mark V was the realization of Dr. Halsey’s vision. It had hundreds of minor technical improvements over the Mark IV as well as two major modifications.
The Mark V was powered by a larger fusion pack than the Mark IV. This was necessary due to the fact that the Mark V had an integrated dynamic, self-recharging, energy shielding system, built using captured Covenant technology (similar to those used by Elites, but designed from captured Jackal energy shields) that repels mass objects and energy bursts. While impacts on the shield place a substantial drain on the system’s power supply, the system’s energy regenerates quickly once the user is no longer under fire. However, the process of adapting the shield to cover the entire body weakened the energy field, making the Mark V’s shield system vulnerable to ballistic fire, unlike Jackal shields, which are near-impervious to ballistic weaponry. This was unfortunate, as Flood Combat Forms frequently use UNSC weaponry, although they perhaps could have simply adjusted a Jackals shield to fit the armor, specifically on the arms, enabling a user to have two shields, one for the front, able to resist attacks more effectively, and one for the sides and back, incase the enemy is able to flank him or her. The armor was made up of layers of dense material and the outside was coated with an energy-absorbing coating.
In addition, the Mark V featured a weave of memory-processor super-conducting material (the same material as an AI’s core) beneath its armor. This gave the suit nearly the same capacity as a ship-borne AI system. This along with an upgrade to the standard-issue neural implant, allowed an AI to inhabit the suit of armor and interface with the mind of its user, greatly enhancing the interface between the suit and the wearer as well as boosting real-time data processing power, which was intended to assist the user in real-time by monitoring communication channels, computer relays, and friendly combat updates. The AI could translate thought into motion quickly, thus boosting the reaction time. Since without the armor, a SPARTAN’s reaction time is charted at twenty milliseconds, the AI boost could render it almost instantaneous. The AI could “use” the person whose suit they were installed in as “memory” literally. The AI can use some of the human’s wetware biological processing for some of its functions when installed in a Mark V.
The MJOLNIR Marks’ V and VI were equipped with magnetic pads placed throughout the suit, on the belt, thighs and back. LOTUS Anti-Tank Mines and HAVOK Nukes can be held here when the Spartans are ordered to destroy a ship or base.
The lethality of this system was demonstrated by John-117, when he and the AI Cortana successfully fought their way across a planet-like, artificial ring-world called Halo.
Extra components were developed for the Mark V, to which the remnants of the Spartan II Red Team on Reach adapted to their armor. These may have been some of the armor permutations that are available in Halo 3, although this is not certain.
John-117 was one of the first Spartans to test the MJOLNIR Mark V, during a training test he had to ring a bell by going through an obstacle course. This course involved 10 ODST troopers, LOTUS Anti-Tank Mines, three automated 30mm chainguns, a forest of wooden poles, and a SkyHawk JumpJet utilizing quadruple 50mm cannon and Scorpion anti-tank missiles. This test showed that AIs could improve how efficient the armor was.”
The comment about John having to find a weapon to fight is untrue he and his spartans killed the guards by the pelican on there first air drop with a bunch of rocks and sticks. And if Samus can take on that many enemies by herself then the enemies must be pretty weak. John is atleast more realistic than Samus. John doesn’t need to show his face because he is constantly on guard. And if you really need to know what he looks like go read the books. This wasn’t done by John but if they can so can he. They were shot down on the decent down to the surface so Fred ordered his Spartans to jump.They did and four of them died out of 23.That is the most Spartan deaths on one mission ever.Also do you think samus could. Fight 10,000 of of space pirates at once?No.Yet three Spartans were able to do it. I doubt three samus’s would stand up to that.Not only that bu they also had a covenant battle ship floating over head shooting them.
In a hand to hand fight John.
In a gun fight with armor most likely Sa us because of her advanced armor.
In a gun fight with no armor John hands down.The spartans consider broken ribs.legs,internal bleeding,and having a long collapsed minor wounds.yet samus as soon as she comes out of her in Zero Mission for example. She can barely defend herself.
So i consider Spartan-117 more bad ass than Samus Aran. would
Aug 7, 2008 at 11:19:56
Wow Dark Sage nice way of describing yourself.
Aug 12, 2008 at 08:28:08
Gideoon Wyeth would kill both at once though.
No idea what I’m on about?
Game: Advent Rising (PC version is better)
http://www.adventtrilogy.com
Powers Of God > MC and Samus combined
Any attempt to regenerate is negated by timestop/slow
And singularities generated within your torso negate ANY armor.

Aug 14, 2008 at 10:18:41
holy shit there are some nerds out there! God Spartan-147 you would think that you use the books like a fucking bible seriously, go get a freaking girlfriend, get laid, and move on with your life. Its pretty pathetic that you have to fight over the internet its a place for opinions but seriously everyone is fighting about VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could take this more seriously if it was about REAL LIVE PEOPLE but no its not so enough said
Aug 14, 2008 at 11:28:13
I love the personal attacks, Press10. There’s a rule about that, I believe. Ah, yes - if you attack the messenger, you submit to the message.
As for this thread: I imagine that neither would win, because neither actually exist. Also, a battle between them isn’t meant to happen - they’re in different game universes.
Aug 14, 2008 at 16:43:13
Gordon Freeman would kick both of their asses. With a crowbar.
Aug 14, 2008 at 17:00:34
The internets. It’s serious business.
Aug 14, 2008 at 17:00:39
Who CARES if samus is more badass then master chief? The true armored titan is none other then IRON MAN.
Note: i came to this conclusion BEFORE the iron man movie.
Aug 14, 2008 at 20:18:20
the reason master chief is better is because even if he dies you can always train another spartan.
Aug 14, 2008 at 20:27:28
The way I see it, they both have their advantages and disadvantages.
If you boil it right down to the basics, Samus with her basic suit and weapon, and MC with his armour, an assault rifle, and lots of ammo, Samus would have the advantage, because she has better firepower and armour.
Hand to hand is a clear victory for Chief, because Samus isn’t agile enough in her armour, and she would never be able to hurt MC without it.
Really, though, they’d never fight. If they met it’d because they’re working together because the Space Pirates are allied with the Covenant, or something…
Sep 10, 2008 at 17:23:54
If Master Chief and Samus met, they wouldn’t fight each other. Once they realize that they’re both human(kind of), they’d start mating like crazy.
now that would be badass.
Little chozo genetically enhanced human monster babies.
dammnnnnnnn…
