Also, no one has considered the devestating effects of Samus's ship. Her Chozonian Hunter Gunship has much more advanced armor and sheilding than any pathetic UNSC or Covenant ship. And the Gunship's bombing run function: One blink of her eyes and that whole battle feild will be ingulfed in ashes, along with the cheif. Also, Samus has the Federation on her side, and the GF Marines would blast anyone from into oblivion. Anything in Metroid can kick EVERYTHING in halo's sorry a**.

Master Chief would win for several reasons.
1. Better suit: Samus' power suit was made with Chozo technology. The Covenant armor was made with Forerunner technology. Both were made by more advanced races, so that makes them about equal. However, the military took Covenant armor and MADE IT BETTER to create the Spartan MJOLNIR armor, which has been upgraded multiple times.
Granted, Samus' suit may be more durable (this is arguable, since MJOLNIR can recharge; Samus' can't), but it doesn't enhance her physical capabilities. MJOLNIR armor, however, makes the Spartans faster, stronger, and increases reaction time to the point where they can literally see and dodge bullets (see Halo novels).
2. Physical Superiority: both of them were augmented to the point of being superhuman, Samus with Chozo blood and Spartans with technology. It's unclear how strong Samus is, but it says she's easily above Olympic athletes (see the Metroid wikipedia). Spartans, too are physically upgraded, to the point where Spartans can punch in steel plates with their bare hands (see Halo novels). On top of that, as mentioned before, the MJOLNIR armor doubles Spartan physical capabilities, wheras the Power Suit does not. Note that the Zero Suit does not augment physical capabilities; it only reveals her natural abilities (see Metroid wiki) which would be on par with Spartans at best outside their suits. With MJOLNIR, it's no contest.
3. Experience and Training: Samus trained from 3 to 14 under the Chozo. Master Chief trained from 6 to 18 under the military. We can't say which one is better, since there's no record of what Samus actually did, so for now let's consider them equal. The big difference is experience. How old is Samus? No matter how you look at it, she's pretty young. Master Chief, however, has over 30 years of full combat experience before Halo even begins. In terms of sheer time, Samus can't even compare. Also, this coming straight form the wiki, Samus is a "decent" shot with the suit augmenting her abilities. She has also used guns exclusively until Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Master Chief, however, is a crack shot and has extensive training in hand to hand combat. Samus may be able to compete evenly at shooting, but if they ever closed the gap, Master Chief would win hands down.
Also, keep in mind that Master Chief is very used to fighting smart people with guns. Samus has been hunting monsters for most of the time, so it's not really the same thing.
4. Weapons: people always say that Samus has better weapons. As far as I'm concerned, a Covenant plasma rifle can compete evenly if not better than Samus' blaster and a rocket launcher and missile/super missile are basically the same thing (the super missiles can kill a player in one hit in multiplayer and so can the rocket launcher; same power). Also, that little laser whip thing that Samus uses has to compete with a Covenant energy sword, which can cut through the super ceramic plating of unshielded Spartan armor like a hot knife through butter (see Halo novels) and could probably do the same with the Power Suit. Bombs and power bombs are less advantageous than the grenades Master Chief can use since he can keep shooting while Samus is in a little ball (a little ball Master Chief would have no trouble tracking and blasting). However, Master Chief's ace in the hole is that he has access to a wide variety of vehicles as well as HAVOC tactical nukes (basically, football sized nukes for easy use). Basically, with the variety that Master Chief has access to, you can't say that Samus has him outgunned.
As for the unlimited ammo part, it only helps if you both stand there hosing each other down. Master Chief would have no problems hiding and using guerilla tactics to slowly wear away Samus' shields while he recollected weapons and let his recharge. As for the space jump, that would launch her high up, true, but that means while she's waiting to fall back down, she's just a sitting duck. And the super speed of hers is only good in straight lines (very hard to control) whereas Master Chief's super agility makes him more maneuverable, not just faster.
Samus has the edge in durability, ammo, and flat running speed. Master Chief has the edge in experience, overall physical capabilities, and skill. I don't think Samus could even hit Master Chief, much less plug away enough to break his shields and finish him. Overall, Master Chief is just the stronger, better soldier and would beat down Samus.

Yeah, rigth,, look pal, Samus armor can recharge itself with almsot any kind fo thing, even phazon, so that takes any advantage of MC, now, the plasma beam of MC, migth be Far long, etc., etc., but samus can do her own busniess there, too, her ship can devastate almost evrythign, now ill add some other things, the charge beam of samus lends her use , at least 8 diferent combo of weapon, smaus can feeze MC, can incinirate it, can made it crystals solid, even if there is an ing portal nearby can make the ings kill her, or even like in metroid fusion can absorb, things, metroids, etc., and such things, will grant her over superiority againts the master chief, lets mention the fogotten yet over used SCREW ATTACK, she cna make a full combo againt him, the master chief will have no chance to use a thing, Ice spreader, dark beam and dark hole literally will kill MC, before he even draws a weapon, the chozo suit, ALREDAY HAS THE WEAPON OUT, instead MC will have to get it out and shoot, in that process he can be bombarded by a million of things, beofre he even gets time to draw his weapons.

Samus pawns the Chief

But seriously, she has a variety of weapon systems all packed up into that suit. She can fight in like any environment unhindered. Underwater, in space, any planet, extreme heat, extreme cold, she's got it covered. Even though she's only driven her ship her visor can interface with all kinds of technology so she can probably operate a wide range of vehicles and other devices. Plus her cannon is like the ultimate weapon (zero laser anyone?) and she's just awesome so whatever.

well she has evrythignt hat you can think covered, she even can pull the armor or MC, and leave him naked

It's too bad most everyone here sounds like a droning moron, because I happen to like discussing this topic. Both combatants have their advantages, but I think the victory would go to Samus due to a technological advantage. MC's suit seems to have a flawed shielding system that chugs after recieving several hits. Once his shields are down he has to find cover fairly quickly. Samus's armor systems, when fully upgraded, allow her to basically take the equivalent of several thousand pounds of dynamite going off in her face. (Overexagerated, I know. But sometimes she just never dies!)

When it comes to physical augmentations, the Master Chief has Samus beat. The most Samus had was a blood infusion, which did make her significantly stronger. MC has had several seperate augmentations including one that fused titanium into his bones. So if they happened to get into a fist fight, I think MC could knock her head off with one good punch. Unfortunately for MC, that means he would have to hit her with that punch, and without her suit, she is rediculously agile and quick.

On to their arsenals. As far as I can tell, MC's prefered weapons are ballistic rifles, while Samus has a wide range of energy weapons all stored in her suit, which makes them all easy access at all times. From what I understand in the Halo books, covenent weaponry is devastating, which would probably mean that Samus's beam weapons should act in similar fashion. If not all, then at least the plasma beam, seeing as how covenent weapons are plasma based.

Honestly though, the only real way to see who is better overall is by how much destruction they've left in there path. The biggest thing Master Chief has destroyed was that ark thing. Samus has left behind floating space rocks that used to be planets. I think most of us can agree that a planet is bigger than anything MC will probably destroy.

Even though I doubt many of you will believe me, I am trying to write this comparison as evenly as possible. I happen to love both series' greatly, and have always enjoyed reading these sorts of posts.

Truthfully, Mjolnir armour (Master Chief) was created by Humans upgrading armour stolen from a higly advanced race capable of building Dyson Spheres, RingWorlds as well as temporarily stopping an intergalactic plague. But you have to consider that Samus' Power Suit was created by a race of beings that had reached evolutionary perfection, they could literally not get any better in anyway, except spiritually.

Samus can still be considered a "pure" human, other than her Chozo-blood infusion and Metroid DNA vaccine, and has little in the way of true physical augementation without her suit. As has been said, Master Chief is certainly far more powerful without his suit in comparison to Samus, but remember that this topic is based on both Master Chief and Samus having access to everything in their personal arsenal (no GF marines or Ringworld Cleansings!).

In vehicles, Master Chief has the advantage, as Samus only has her Gunship. However, in most cases, a Mongoose or Warthog, being driven by the Chief (with no passengers) is a relatively useless advantage, other than speed. A Scarab or Scorpion Tank may very well be extremely powerful, but seems to have little in the way of defense when attacked by a spacecraft capable of destroying seemingly any form of metal.

In agility or speed, it must be admitted that Samus is the victor. Master Chief is able to run extremely fast, has decent jumping ability, but little in the way of actual agility (dodging etc.). Samus however, is also extremely fast, capable of building up enough speed to begin the ShineSpark maneuvre, which is capable of propelling her to great heghts, as well as through walls and barriers. Samus also has the upper hand in agility, being able to not only Morph into a 1m wide ball (this would certainly confuse the opponent at least once, giving her a chance to strike or run), she can also propel herself upwards for seemingly infinite periods of time (the Space Jump), and quickly dodge side to side.

To be fair, Master Chiefs weapons are extremely powerful against his enemies; semi-armoured aliens, some with shields, and some with hardly armour at all. An example is the Hunters, they can withstand at least one rocket, and pose a challenge to the Chief at times, thanks to their fearsome strength. Samus however, is fully clad in armour, with shielding that only fails when she is at Deaths Door. Her shielding is powered by (once again assuming full arsenal) over a dozen energy tanks, each of which is probably equal to both Master Chiefs shield and his actual armour.

Samus' weapons are surprisingly adaptable. As can be seen in Metroid Prime 1, using the x-ray visor, to change her weapon requires her to simply move her fingers.

Each beam has various merits; the power beam is probably the equivalent of the Plasma Rifle, without the aiming problem or overheating issues. The wave beam is a trio of electrified energy bolts that seek a locked target, and would surely cause Master Chiefs armour to suffer at least some electrical damge, as well as temporary muscular paralysis. The Ice beam is just that; a beam of sub-zero energy, that upon contact, freezes the target, sometimes completely, allowing for the easy shattering of said victim. The plasma beam is a lance of superheated... plasma... that not only passes through the target, but can even disintegrate said target. I would continue on Samus' weapons, but this post is getting pretty large.

Several people have boasted about Master Chief sniping Samus in the helmet, or using Cortana to hack her suit. They forget that not only does Samus' shield completely defend her from harm until it depletes, but her suit also contains an advanced AI, albeit a less talkative one. Though Cortana is highl advanced for her time, Samus' AI was created by the most advanced beings in the Universe. The only reason that the Rezbits from MP2 can upload a virus into you, is because they were designed by the Luminoth, after they were contacted and gifted with technology by the Chozo.

And the Scarab gun? If we are considering modded weapons, we must consider the "cheat" beams from the 2D metroids, which, in game form, create an infinite wall of death in front of Samus, that causes instant death from contact, even by Samus. That's a dangerous weapon to use.

As for outgunning Samus... Hmm, Nukes... That would certainly hurt, but that's if Samus didn't hack them, which takes I believe about 1 or 2 seconds. Energy Sword, yeah, that might damage her, but samus can survive being hit by Quadraxis' super-painful pointy legs-o-doom (Quadraxis is from Metroid Prime 2, it is about the size of a Scarab, has an advanced AI, is sharp and pointy, and can shoot behind it), so I reckon an Energy Sword isn't too much of a big deal. And stating that Master Chief won't be damaged much by the Power Beam, when a salvo of plasma rifle hits can kill him?

Grenades, Samus doesn't have them, but she can lob those Metroid Prime 2 Sunbursts, which are a slow, seeking ball of odd light, from which beams of light (eg. plasma) will randomly strike out. Upon reaching the target, the sunburst detonates with the fury of a concentrated supernova.

I'm nearly over, so my final points are BIG DEEDS AND DESTROYED STUFF. MC has destroyed a RingWorld, and the Ark, as well as invade High Charity and other Covenant fortresses, all of which are great feats. Samus has collapsed an entire dimension, destroyed 1 normal planet, 1 living planet, as well as invade an entire fortress planet, alone, and make it to their very nerve centre. Oh, she also destroyed an entire Space Pirate battleship WITHOUT her armour for most of the time.

In all honesty, Master Chief is outdone in every way, even in vehicles (what uses is a warthog, or even a Scarab, against a Super-powered Advanced-Past-Covenant-Technology Gunship?). Thumbs up to both MC and Samus, but, from an ability-based point of view, Samus is the clear and defined winner.

Winston 508, I understand your annoyance at the biased and pointless moronical comments made by some people in this topic, and hope that this post may possibly help to finally resolve this issue.

Maybe the next pro-chief post will display his merits with more explanation, with a definitive and unbiased comparison. Anything I've missed out to compare, tell me. Sorry again for the huge post!

Samus would win. If Master chief even had armor piercing bullets, do you think it would work against armor made by the most advanced aliens EVER. And she runs uber fast, because she is infused with Chozo blood. Master Chief has a regenerating shield BUT as many of you Halo players know, if the enemy is firing really fast, your shield doesnt stand a chance. When i play Metroid, I fire faster than anyone I have played against, and im HUMAN, think of Samus' running speed, then use that to make her finger speed... She is going to pull the trigger like a badass and demolish Master Chiefs shield. Dont forget her SUPER missiles, which are STRONGER than Master Chiefs HUMAN missiles. And how many of you have played brawl and seen samus' Smash ball ability. look at that BEAM! there is no way Master Chief would survive that... hell, Samus can barely survive that. and in a half destroyed city, samus wouldnt be beaten. Master chief has fought in a half destroyed city, but samus has fought on an entire planet of varying landscapes. Samus could easily avoid shots by rolling into morph ball after master chief fires, and hten boost ball into him, stand, and blow his face apart. Lets throw in some monsters from both games in there. Look at Halo aliens... not very many different kinds...look at Metroid's game.... OVER 100 kinds, possibly 200. halo enemies have guns, but they are the same as, if not weaker than samus' weapons, and the monsters from metroid have varying weaknesses... EAT THAT COVENNANT!!!!!!


Samus wins
Samus could easily stop Master Chief in his tracks by flashing him.
Done.
Then *bleep*ing blow him....*apart (heh heh )

SAMUS PWNS AND YOU ALL KNOW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, someone posted while i was writing mine...

both post are quite intresting, still there are left 3 crucial weapon of samus (samus also has invaded 3 planets, destroyed 4 planets completley, and has the power to absorb DNA from enemies, so if she touched MC's blood she would abosrb the skills of the MC, fusion people, remember fusion)

samus in her last show up MP3, she obtains:

an improved version of the X ray visor, its thermal and sonic too, she also obtains, the hyper beam, that is a quick firing steam of semi solidified phazon, which can be counted as a strike of baseball ball, now think a shor period of 4 objects strtiking you chest, has to hurt, hyper missiles, portable nukes, hyber ball, can literally send to hell MC, why? think of an constant and powerfull radioactive current of high amperage ragin trough your body, now the super X ray visor `+ the sonic beam, or drilling beam as the pirates called it, would blow of MC brains, now for the last hyper mode weapon, the hyper graple beam, its can and will suck energy or it can overload MC body of energy making him structurally inestable.

in veihcles once again samus wins,a s its has been siad before, its quite problematic ride a vehicule alone, samus ship has an IA, and is basically a ammo fabric, also whenever she gets onto the ship she will regenerate all her health, MC has probabl to seek it trough firsst aid kits.


closing statements:


samus is invencible when is on the air, using the screw attack, sadly it means all but good news to MC she can SA near to him, shoot , òwer bomb, and the hyper grapple, mc is blinded, stunned, adn leave as a dead body.

zomg, correct. i wasnt in a metroid-y mood at the time, so i didnt write all that

Samus wins this one easily. Chief's endurance is low. Very low (unless you're counting book feats). He doesn't have any weapons that will cause any serious damage to her. Going by game feats, one Sonic Boom and the Chief is out.

not exactly of all combos of comobs of MP2 technically sonic boom is the weaker one, due that its neutral, more well a dark hole or sunburst shot means the end its either being absorbed or incinerated, after doing some research on metroid prime 0, i conclude that sadly MC its at checkmate again, her spped upgrade erog the super dash makes MC look like joke, why? she would be running so fast tat she will be making a shockwave, so MC sadly cant run or fire, if metroid an other M continues with the gameplay showed she would grab MC and give him a beating.

masterchief cant do anything against samus?why?let me explain.

if you play metroid prime hunters and you obtain the volt-driver weapon it states that the volt driver fires MULTI-TERRAWATT bolts of electricity.the metroid universe works in the multi terrawatt range people.such firepower is devastating to anything in the haloverse no matter against what you fire it.also this means that samus her shielding is made to deal with multi-terrawatt weaponry which means all of chiefs standard weaponry will tickle samus at best.

dont believe me here is a video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsSzaQULvUo pause the movie at 1:38
