User blog comment:Lasifer/The Console Wars: Master Chief vs. Samus Aran/@comment-181289-20130331215823

I'm gonna take a different road from most heer and Vote for Chief, to give another point of view.

Here is why I think Chief will win. Niether Warrior is gonna be able to actulyl hit the other at Long range, Between the speed both have, the protection and reaction time both posses espceilly Chief, Long range in both cases is going to amount to a Fire works show as both will be able to dodge any attacks fired at that distance. The only weapon that will have any chance of getting a hit is the Spartan laser becasue the time between when it's fired the time the beam makes contact is virtully instant. So Chief has a very slim advantage at long range, because he has a laser in the battle of mostly plasma and bullets. Now each warrior is no doubt going to land a handfull of hits but not enought to take the other down, Chief reaction time will allow him to dodge or counter almost all Samus long range attacks, and Samus's Speed will make her hard to keep laying the fire into her. Chief's Spartan Laser and Sniper rifle give him an edge at the long distance, if eithre one will get a big hit in at long range it will be him, but the chances for both is rather slim, with only the Spartan Laser being capable of consitanly getting hits, and while it packs a punch and increable acuuracy and range, the charge time and low ammo capacity means Chief can't reaily on it to win he fight.

But mostly this fight is gonna come down to close hand to hand combat, and chief has the advantage here. He is physically stronger for one, but also weighs half a ton, means he's gonna be harder to move or knock down. This along with the fact the grapple beam will have to grab and toss Chief around to do any damage, but Chief has shown on numerous time extreme impact has little to no affect on him, haveing twice fallen from orbit and ving multiple vehicle crashes. In terms of pure hand to hand combt training, Chief has the advantage again do to his strength and reaction time. The reaction time of Spartans is increably high, a failed spartan is noted to have seen normal human movment as being in slow motion, and this was prior to the addtion of armor which increases the reaction time even more. This was also when the implant were freshly done, and all modofications were noted to get stronger the longer Spartans had them. In terms of skill Chief was able to kill 3 ODST with no armor on when he was 14 just after his enhancements, this alone implying a high level of skill even at a younge age. In terms of strength, Spartans in armor can match and even overpower Elites, who have the ablity to kickdown steel blast doors several inches thick with miminal effort.

So, Chief can win becasu in my opinion, he's got the advantage in where I believe this fight will happen, in close range.
