User blog comment:Lasifer/The Console Wars: Master Chief vs. Samus Aran/@comment-4098900-20130401012753

Both warriors have incredible reaction times and speed. Both can easily dodge each other's weapons. Samus' armor is stronger. Chief's shields are quite easily downed by energy weapons. Even without them, his armor is still quite strong, and they recharge quickly. However, unlike Samus, his entire body is not covered by armor. So Chief will be doing a lot of dodging. If Chief is unable to dodge one of Samus' weapons for whatever reason, he can just deploy bubble shield. Samus on the other hand won't really be expecting Chief's weapons to do anything to her. Now, this is where Samus gets a disadvantage. There is one place Chief can penetrate- her visor. Now, I realize it's clearly bullet proof. But one, maybe two shots from his sniper rifle should almost penetrate. It will make it so she can't really see. The third shot should penetrate. Samus will start dodging once she realizes what's going on. However, I think that Chief will eventually hit.

Even more so, I think this will bring the battle in Chief's favor. The Spartan Laser. When it's fired, it impacts almost instantaniously. It's almost impossible to dodge. Samus will not be able to dodge it. Each shot should knock her back. Chief will take the defense until Spartan Laser finishes recharging then hit her again. It only takes about 5 seconds to recharge. It's not like he'll really need to take much defense anyway.

Winner: Master Chief.

Finally I'd like to say that I think the main reason Samus is winning is due to a major anti-Chief bias, even more so people just making the popular vote. Seriously, don't vote for Samus due to an anti-Chief bias. And really don't vote for her because it's the popular vote.
