Samus/Snake was never, ever debatable until half an hour ago. Well, Samus and Naked Samus are both in SSBB, so I'd still be pretty comfortable with Samus. In any case, we aren't going to see SSBB or MGS4 until 2007. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/NintendoDesktop2.jpg |

the Snake hype is pretty deafening right now. last year you were taking
everyone from Zelda to Ganon over him and now he's going to beat Mario?
hey, it's your bracket! --- xyzzy |

XD. I can't count how many times I've seen that gif, and it's still
hilarious, anyway in 2K7 the absolute highest I see snake going is
above Samus, which I personally would not pick, at least not from what
I suspect will be happening prior to the contest, however, above Crono
is a given to me. --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

Well, you have to realize how oddly anti-MGS Heroic Mario is. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

I'll say Samus > Snake this year, next year, in 2007 and beyond.
Snake would need more than an appearance in SSB (which Samus is in as
well - twice, even) to top her. --- xyzzy |

the Snake hype is pretty deafening right now. last year you were
taking everyone from Zelda to Ganon over him and now he's going to beat
Mario? I wasn't... but then again I'm not saying he'll beat Mario either. You see, I'm what they call realistic. --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

you also have to remember how pro-Mario HM used to be. or pro-Mega Man, or pro-Cloud, or pro-Sephiroth, or... --- xyzzy |

Trust me. When Heroic Mario is getting excited about Solid Snake, it's a big deal, folks. Indeed! A fun fact is Heroic Mario did not care much about MGS4 heading into E3 until he saw Kojima's new trailer, where he was forced to change pants not once, but thrice -- 15 minute trailers for the win!!! --- “The human body is supposed to be 70 percent water.

wasn't talking to ya, EC, but rather HM and to a lesser extent Leon. I
think once the excitement wears off, people will get a little more
realistic. --- xyzzy |

Snake would need more than an appearance in SSB (which Samus is in as well - twice, even) to top her. I think -- though this may very well be a rumor -- that Kojima is making a new Metal Gear Solid that comes out in 2007. But, again, these rumors are pretty wacky sometimes!! --- “The human body is supposed to be 70 percent water. I consider myself 70 percent film.” – Hideo Kojima |

let me ask you - would you take Snake over Samus without SSB? --- xyzzy |
| trannyscience | Posted 5/12/2006 3:17:08 PM | message detail |

also, remember that there's Echoes and MP3 to contend with, with MP3 probably coming out before SSB from what I've heard. --- xyzzy |
