ROUND ONE: Predator & Sub-Zero vs. Mike Haggar & Samus Aran

[JGlass]

ROUND ONE

The Predator is a ruthless hunter, and it teams up with one of the most well trained Lin Kuei ninjas, Sub-Zero. This is a formidable duo to be sure, but they face two of Earth's mightiest heroes: the space bounty hunter Samus Aran and mayor of Earth, Mike Haggar. Energy weapons and martial arts will run rampant in this battle, but which team walks away from the skirmish victorious?

FIGHT!​

Ok. Really what we have here is Samus versus an alien and a cold guy in pajamas.

Predator will make invisible at first to assess the situation as Sub Zero makes his way toward Haggar. Mayor Mike will get frozen, knocked out or worse while Samus is tracking down the dreaded hunter.

Id wager Samus is much faster\agile than the ninja so it wont take long for him to fall. Then it comes down to Samus and Predator. She does what she always does and takes down the alien without too much trouble thanks to the suit.


Samus and whats left of Haggar move on.

HAGAR TAKES A STEEL PIPE, BASHES STEEL PIPE ACROSS THE BITCH FROSTBIT BITCH FACE OF SUB-ZERO, THEN MOVES TO GRAB THE WEAK ASS PREDATOR, STUFFS THE PREDATOR'S HEAD UP THE PREDATOR'S OWN ASS, AND THEN PILE DRIVES THE TWISTED AND BENT MOTHER FUCKER STRAIGHT TO THE GROUND WITH A WIN.

Oh and, I suppose Samus is there to. Yeah, she has energy blasts and stuff.

 

[BK Styles]

Samus will roll into a ball, and Haggar will smash her into Sub Zero and Predator with a lead pipe whilst she is in morph ball mode. No one will be left standing.

Oh, and Samus has missiles and bombes and stuff.

Samus and Haggar win.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

My vote went to Predator & Sub-Zero. Why you may ask, I don't trust people who can't speak in complete sentences.

I especially don't trust politicians who can't speak complete sentences. Last guy I remember to do that was George Bush, and nobody liked that guy. I simply can't vote for a George Bush wannabe.

How are Sub-Zero and Predator winning? Are we forgetting that Predator got taken down by Arnie and his merry band of morons? And not only did he not try to fight back when he was finally hurt, he just decided to self-destruct. And Sub-Zero's powers would have no effect on Samus' suit, which has endured temperatures that make Sub Zero seem like a brisk breeze.

The fight goes like this:

Sub-Zero shoots an ice ball at Samus, and while Samus could easily dodge it, she decides to get hit and laugh it off just to show the other two who's boss. She blasts Zero into oblivion, at which point Predator panics and self-destructs. The battle is over before Hagger can finish greasing up.

Methinks you are misremembering. The Predator had Dutch beat, and the only reason Dutch was able to escape with his life was because he had set up traps before Predator arrived.

Let's also not forget that Predator basically nerfed itself in this fight by ditching its weapons in favor of hand-to-hand combat.

The reality of the situation is that Predator is perfection when it comes to killing. Everything about its anatomy, training, and equipment it carries is designed to make it a more effective killer. Samus is good, but bounty hunting is just her profession. Killing is Predator's life.

Samus has some heavy hitting gear, but so does Predator. Plasma weapons, a bull whip that can cut through flesh and bone, a homing razor disc that looks to cut its target into pieces, and that's just standard equipment.

Predator and Samus are probably about equal in terms of technology, but training-wise and culturally, Predator is just too determined for Samus. This is a tournament fight for Samus, but it's a fight for honor for Predator.

This leaves us with Sub-Zero and Mayor Mike. It would be a good fight, but Sub-Zero's cold powers are unlike anything Haggar has ever faced, and a few of Sub-Zero's freezing moves would leave Hagger immobilized and make him easy pickings for the likes of Sub-Zero.

I'm giving this one to Predator and Sub-Zero, and you should too.

The reality of the situation is that Predator is perfection when it comes to killing.

So are Metroids. They were literally designed to be the perfect killing machines. Samus made their entire race extinct. Beating Predator is nothing in comparison to wiping out a species that sucks the life out of you and doesn't stop until you die.

Everything about its anatomy, training, and equipment it carries is designed to make it a more effective killer. Samus is good, but bounty hunting is just her profession. Killing is Predator's life.

Samus has wiped out at least two species, the Metroids and the X-Parasites. Her 'profession' involves her arriving in a section of the galaxy and killing everything in her path, whether that's a space pirate, a giant brain, an alien organic energy being, a space dragon. You name it, she's killed it. The Predator hunts, Samus commits genocide.

Samus has some heavy hitting gear, but so does Predator. Plasma weapons,

Plasma weapons? How cute. Samus uses plasma weapons to do her welding. She also has weapons that can kill you while you're standing on the other side of a reinforced wall... which can be combined with aforementioned plasma beams so she can set you in fire before you even know where she is.

a bull whip that can cut through flesh and bone,

Cut through flesh and bone? That might matter if Samus was facing Predator while in her Zero suit. However, she isn't. She's in a suit with a powerful enough force field* to survive a dip in lava without taking any damage. Predator can whip Samus all he wants. He'd be lucky to scratch her suit at all.

a homing razor disc that looks to cut its target into pieces, and that's just standard equipment.

Anything stopping her from shooting it?

Predator and Samus are probably about equal in terms of technology

Not even remotely. Samus can kill everything within a 100 yard radius in about 12 different ways, including dropping a goddamn nuke on the area from her ship. Predator hunts, Samus commits genocide.

but training-wise and culturally, Predator is just too determined for Samus.

Determination doesn't matter much if you're already dead. If you're unlucky enough to be on the wrong side of Samus' arm cannon, you aren't walking away.

This is a tournament fight for Samus, but it's a fight for honor for Predator.

Samus is treating this as a job. Her job is to kill things. Predator is just one more thing on her list.

I'm giving this one to Predator and Sub-Zero, and you should too.

Is this because Samus beat Shepard last year?

*This is an assumption on my part, since getting hit reduces her energy levels, rather than health.

Let's also not forget that Predator basically nerfed itself in this fight by ditching its weapons in favor of hand-to-hand combat.

Those are just more reasons why Samus could beat Predator. Samus has walked into her share of ambushes and traps, all of which were much more dangerous than stuff falling on her. And she's walked out alive every time.

Not to mention the fact that Predator was stupid enough ditch its weapons for hand to hand combat. Pretty much the only time Samus is without her suit is when she shoots a blast so powerful that it disintegrates her suit. And if she did that, Predator wouldn't be there to heat-sense her hot body because he wouldn't exist anymore.

The reality of the situation is that Predator is perfection when it comes to killing. Everything about its anatomy, training, and equipment it carries is designed to make it a more effective killer. Samus is good, but bounty hunting is just her profession. Killing is Predator's life.

Yeah, Predator is mindless killing machine that has shown it can be outsmarted. Much like the Metroids, whom Samus has killed in droves.

Samus has some heavy hitting gear, but so does Predator. Plasma weapons, a bull whip that can cut through flesh and bone, a homing razor disc that looks to cut its target into pieces, and that's just standard equipment.

Samus has all that. She has her blaster, she has her electric whip thing that she uses when she's zero suit, she has homing devices, her small morph ball bombs, and plenty more. Samus is at least as well equipped as Predator. That's not even taking into account her final blast.

Predator and Samus are probably about equal in terms of technology, but training-wise and culturally, Predator is just too determined for Samus. This is a tournament fight for Samus, but it's a fight for honor for Predator.

Yeah, Samus is on the job. And she happens to be very good at her job. We've seen Predator beaten by technologically inferior but simply smarter species. Samus has those smarts, plus far superior weaponry, fighting abilities and experience than Arnie.

This leaves us with Sub-Zero and Mayor Mike. It would be a good fight, but Sub-Zero's cold powers are unlike anything Haggar has ever faced, and a few of Sub-Zero's freezing moves would leave Hagger immobilized and make him easy pickings for the likes of Sub-Zero.

Yeah, Sub-Zero would be able to kill Haggar. But he wouldn't have the chance with Samus there to do his job. Haggar is holding Samus back, with a better partner, she'd be a favourite to win. Again, I think?

 

[GI Cake]

Can Sub-Zero do a Piledriver? Can Predator do a pile driver?

Can Haggar do a Piledriver?

I think the answer is obvious on who should win this.
