User blog comment:Lasifer/The Console Wars: Master Chief vs. Samus Aran/@comment-11048590-20130401021701

THE DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS:


 * Melee- Samus. Both are pretty equal as far as Martial Arts goes; They've been trained at a young age and have stat enhancers. As for close quarters weaponry, the Grapple Beam gets this because of it's usefulness and range. Samus can use the environment to here advantage by latching or pulling onto things, and can possibly even drag Chief away or closer to her given the chance. The Combat Knife's short range will make it kind of useless in the fight.

TBF.
