The Simulation
Four members of the Star Fox Team (Fox, Falco, Krystal, Slippy) are inside a Space Hideout similar to the one in Star Fox Assault. Fox quickly spots four Clone Troops of the 501st (led by Captain Rex) and quickly forms a strategy. Falco and Krystal head to the upper levels while Fox and Slippy go on ground level to try and surprise them.

A Clone goes to investigate when Fox and Slippy hide behind crates, but Slippy lobs a grenade over the crate. The clone alerts his fellow troops just as the grenade goes off, but the clones have gotten out of its range.

Fox and Slippy, their cover blown, head for better cover as the Clones recover and open fire on them. A clone sees Krystal with a sniper rifle and tries to shoot her, but misses. Falco then jumps from his roost, takes out a Gatling Gun and guns down the sharpshooter.

501st: 3

As the firefight gets out of control, a clone takes his Z-6 chaingun and forces Falco into a retreat. Up above, Krystal shoots Rex in the leg while Falco, down below, narrowly misses with his Homing Launcher. Onetakes a thermal detonater, lobs it at the upper level, intent on getting Krystal. She gets away from the initially-small blast, but falls victim to the PLX-1 Missile launcher and falls to her death.

Star Fox: 3

Fox and Slippy have retreated to the upper levels and plant a sensor bomb at the very top of a railway while one clone uses a bacta tank to heal Rex's injured leg. One clone throws another thermal detonator just as Falco uses his homing launcher to kill another troop. He then looks down to see the thermal detonator at his feet before getting blown up.

501st: 2

Star Fox: 2

Rex, now back on his feet, takes his last clone with him in pursuit of Fox and Slippy. But the last clone falls victim to the sensor bomb that the Star Fox members had planted. Rex takes the dead clone's detpack, then goes on his way.

501st: 1

Star Fox: 2

Rex continues on his chase until he spots Slippy who had stayed behind to give Fox some time. The two have a brief firefight, Slippy with the Cornerian Blaster and Rex with a DC-15 Rifle. But Rex ultimately guns down Slippy with three bolts of plasma.

501st: 1

Star Fox: 1

Rex comes to an elevator, then takes it to the highest level of the hideout. When the door opens, he sees Fox McCloud and fires at him. Fox returns fire, but gets his blaster knocked out of his hands. He activates a barrier, then retreats into a room, Rex's blaster fire useless against the barrier.

Rex walks over to the door, sticks his det-pack onto it, then retreats a safe distance before detonating it. He goes inside to make sure his target is dead only to have his blaster rifle smacked out of his hands and his helmet smashed by Fox's Cerinian Staff.

Rex takes off his helmet, then takes out a Vibroblade. Fox spins his staff, then the two clash. Rex receives a strike on the leg from Fox's staff while Fox gets grazed by Rex's blade. After giving Rex's arm a good jab from the staff's dagger-like end, Fox blocks another strike from Rex and kicks Rex away. Rex strikes again, then punches Fox across the face, who soon returns the favor.

Rex thrusts his foot into Fox, who falls, but rolls away. Fox then sweeps the ground with his staff, tripping the clone, then slams his staff down on Rex's midsection before sticking the dagger-like end into the clone's unprotected middle.

Fox then removes his staff before trudging off; the loss of his team was hard on him.

Experts' Opinions
While the 501st Legion's weaponry was very powerful, it really was designed to fight off large numbers. Star Fox's weapons were more reliable and could operate better at a squad level. The barrier was also the deciding factor because, in a strict firefight, the clones' blasters couldn't do much to them.
