Steel be with you.

Silly Master Chief... Samus wants the simple things in life... like Teddy Bears and other cute things...

I would have guessed she liked power armor and destroying alien bases, which means she is the most compatible with Master Chief. I think the only reason she says "NO!" is because of the lame Halo/Metroid rivalry.

I think it's 'cause he's not man enough to shed helm and/or armor if he destroyed alien bases with utmost speed. Pussy.

Have you ever played the first Halo? He takes off his helmet at the end. Besides, what you said is kind of contradictory. He quickly destroys alien bases so he's not man enough?

Samus doesn't seem like the type to be interested in any kind of relationships...

Although she does seem to have a soft spot for cute things *coughs*Pikachu*coughs*.

Master Chief should try a new plan of attack.

Oh...shit. And it was Mr. Crowbar to tell me! *goes off to cry*

Samus could be with either master chief, snake or um well..Iron Man

I think the "No" has more to do with the Fact that Master Chief, and all male Spartan IIs, can't get it up. Even with Viagra.

Nah, it's the glasses. Space-age birth control.

Samus is an independent woman who happens to be the absolute best female protagonist out there (not to mention the first). She can stand on her own two feet, and also be shooting shit at the same time.

Master Chief is an overplayed bad ass arche-type (correct term right?) whom everyone likes just because he waves around guns and blows stuff up. Plus he repeats the usual stuff with him going out to rescue Cortana, just like any other game that concerns a female.

Plus something tells me if Samus WERE to want to be in a relationship... well... she'd come after whom she wanted.

But yeah, Samus doesn't need a male significant other to define her existence because she can take care of herself. Her being a loner lends more to her strength and plus, a romance in her case? It would RUIN THE METROID STORY. A lot of romances ruins stories. -_-; /end rant

What the fuck are you talking about? Samus is exactly the same as Master Chief but because she's a woman you give her some credit. I can think of dozens of female protagonists that are far superior to Samus- heck, each Final Fantasy title has 3 women better than Samus.

If anything, a romance would enhance the Metroid storyline, which is basically "Go from base to base destroying aliens that are experimenting on metroids." Wow, what a rich and layered storyline.

Samus has absolutely no character, no personality, no nothing. At least Master Chief talks once in a while and says some cool and humorous things. The Halo books, especially the first one, are good works of science fiction writing. If you enjoyed classics like Ender's Game you'll enjoy at least the first book. Metroid, on the other hand, had some lame comics released where we find out Ridley killed her parents- wow, that's really an original motivation for a character there.

That being said, the Metroid series is one of my all-time favorites, but let's not kid ourselves by saying she's a good character or that Metroid has a decent storyline.

Have you played Metroid Fusion? Out of all the Metroid games, that's the one I've seen that gives Samus the most personality. Even kind of a love interest.

You know people are desperate to attach some kind of substance to a character when they dig around for old handheld games. Yeah, I played it but I don't remember anything except that there was an evil twin and and there was a cool mechanical spider boss. Oh, and there were walking Metroids. Maybe there was something in the ending cutscene, who knows, but it's really not enough.

Metroid Fusion is actually the only Metroid game I've played, and I found it quite memorable for its story. In fact, I was surprised at its depth (considering it's all an excuse to run around a complex and blow things up). Not claiming Samus to be a super diverse character here, just thought I'd note that.

Waitwaitwait, you, GF, are discounting one of the four main[/n] Metroid games? Pssh, I'd wager your main exposure is to the Prime games.I don't care if Samus has much in the way of character development, since based on those comics (what all I've read through thus far, FSM bless translators), she seems to be past most any personal crisis point. Samus is a righteous dude, a badass, and happens to be female (and quite a looker, 'physically'-thick Zero Mission portrayals aside). Plus, c'mon, sexy, unhindered purple motion! The Power Suit and all its variants are hella cool and, in a way, part of her body.

The note's signature suggests that is actually Mister Chief...

I like Super Metroid more than I like any of the Primes. Nostalgia aside, I find that it has the best music, among other things, and I think that the music has an excellent way of setting the tone and mood of the game, unlike the remixes and techno beats of the Prime games.

I just don't see why people can love Samus so much and hate Master Chief, even though they're basically the same character, although with different genders and armor design. You said she was "a righteous dude, a badass..." and that's basically the Chief.

She's also, as one of a couple of my favorite ReMixes says, "One Girl in All the World" (though we're gonna have to extend "world" to encompass the range within which their society/ies function, though maybe it an be her singular appearance amongst her various missions).

For the record, I wasn't hating on Chief, just saying Samus isn't generic.

Also, you're calling me desperate for "digging around for old handheld games" when you use Super Metroid in one of your examples, a game that came out EIGHT YEARS before Fusion.

Master Chief and Snake I can understand. Heck, even Mario to some extent.

But Klonoa?

That isn't Samus; it's Sara from Fallout 3. She is the daughter of the guy that is the leader of the brother's of steel .

ande=EPIC FAIL that is samus wearing light suit from prime 2 rtard besides not only is BoS pwoer armor bulkyer sara always had her hair in a pony tail, where as samus doesnt

wow, this long and nobody's made a "doesn't afraid of anything" joke yet?

I'm not gonna be the one to make it...

but samus! he fights aliens and doesn't afraid of anything! cmon!

he rejects halos and doesn't afriad of anyZERG RUSH

Because she's one of the few females that susprise male players in video game history, sure she has no depth no personality, but don't bash her for that because she's mostly oldschool.

i liked Metroid Fusion too, and it did have hints of a romance

you can't compare the two so easily. samus doesn't talk because the game never called for a voice actor. master cheif talks... and that's about it. i bet he's emo, what with that monotone, depressing banter of his.

GordonFreeman said:

You best be joking. Not that I think Samus is a well developed character or anything, but you're giving Final Fantasy too much credit.

Stick it in her metal pooper

Nah, she'd rather go with a guy from either the Blood Eagle, Diamond Sword, or Children of the Phoenix.

Y'know, actually reading/playing the games might clear up a lot of these confusions.
First off, Samus does narrate in game a couple times.
Secondly, master chief is anything but depressing.

You...know it is pathetic when you all have nothing better to do then rant about a video game character or two honestly. They are kick ass characters but when it all falls down to it what they do in there game how they act is based on the creators of the game and there is nothing you can do to change that everything else is opinion.
Also the people how being sexism to this debate are just pathetic, in a perfect world guys and girls would be equal in very aspect but, this isn't a perfect world so.....

SAMUS >>

Well atleast he got cortana. :P

Samus destroyed the same planet twice. nuff said.

I gotta go with Snake on this one. Being a bit of a "Ladies' Man" myself, I happen to know that a crocodile hat wins 'em over every single time. That's how my girl and I got together.

Obviously Samus is a lesbian and wants to have a threesome with Princess Peach and Zelda.

Jeez people.

I second this.

Ehh.. No.. Master Chief is a lone man. ;D Same with Snake. They're such real men. Hahaha~!

Tony Stark gets all the ladies, Samus aswell.

Suddenly Tony Stark vanishes in a flash of Power Bomb. Ladies are saved.

Master Chief is a pathetic little wimp compared to Samus. And ESPECIALLY if you wanna talk power. NONE of anyone who would want to hit on her could POSSIBLY match her. Why would she want to be with someone that she would most likely kill by sheer accident while saving planets?

Yuri-obsessed perverts. I'll make sure to add you to Samus' newest "To eliminate" list; right above Metroids, Ridley, and Mother Brain.

Nah, this is to show just how Samus is THE top lady. She's not just un-hitched, she's not interested.

There really should be a Super Missile chasing M.C. away...

Samus would say No to Master Cheif because his name is two titles put together, and he never takes off his mask, what kind of relationship would come from that?

...actually 'master chief' is just part of his title, which is 'master chief petty officer'. his name is john. if you go with his spartan designation, it's john-117. also, the reason why you never see his face is because it allows you to kinda put yourself in his position.

just wait for metroid other M its supposed to have a lot more toward story that the previous installments.

foreignreign said:

Jeez people.

If I samus lesbian I'd rather go for Midna (adult form ofc) and Kasumi in a threesome and Kasumi for normal (if anime is allowed then Kasumi/CC)

Klonoa is waaaaaaaaaaay out of his league here.

I can't wait for any of you to play Other M.

Other M is amazing and proves Samus is too win for everyone else in existance plus Chief has never dealt with a cute little fluffball that turns into a giant space-pirate dragon monster Ridley thing that kills a mysterious black dude who we will always remember

Actually, she's going to pick up Issac Clarke on the rebound.

There's only one Man for Samus Aran.
