Look at the charts at the end of the page.

If "decked-out" accounts for anything, Stranger would kick Master Chef's titanium tuchus.

sligster 04-11-2005 04:23 PM

My view on this:

I believe it would be a very close fight, and under the right circumstances, either could come out on top.

Master Chief- Mark VI Mjolnir battle armor made out of titanium, with regeneratable shields. Chief is moderatly smart. He is very powerful without armor, but with the armor's hightened speed and power, he is even more powerful (without the armor, he killed 3 other privates in a fist fight- bashing one's skull in with a single blow.) He is fast, but in no way comparable to Stranger's speed. SMG could do a bit of damage, but the recoil could prevent anything serious. The Battle Rifle is an instant kill if the head is shot, and the gun fires in 3-shot bursts, which increases the chance it will hit the head.. It would be the most deadly if Chief aims right. Grenades have a 1 sec fuse after it hits the ground, and Stranger would likely be out of the way by then.

Stranger- In "Stranger" form, he has what looks like a leather poncho- which would absorb some bullets- but not all, while in "Steef" form, he has ancient tribal armor, which would be very effective. He can also regenerate his health. He is inteligent, weaker (physically) than the Chief, but certainly makes up for it in speed- and when used right, speed can outdo strength significantly. Stranger may be able to use a charged Zappfly to bring down his shields (but this is not certain- no way to test it obviously), then finish the Chief with Boombats/ Stingbees. If he were to get to close, say, for the Chief to use melee techniques, Stranger would fall quickly. However, at moderate range, if Stranger lets his guard down, it could also mean a quick end with a Battle Rifle shot to the head.

Final Verdict-

Stranger definatly has the advantage in arsenal, but Chief has superior melee capabilities.

It all entirely depends on the situation.

NOTE: the weapons options i used were from the article.

I dunno, Cheif can run 15 mph WITH a half-ton of armor on. I'm guessing he book with just some jeans and a shirt. So Stranger might have some problems there. I mean, Stranger's a bad-ass. But in a fist fight, I think Master Chief would whoop on Stranger.

With all the equipment though... that's a different story.

Godlesswanderer 04-11-2005 05:18 PM

I would say definately the Master Chief. I can;t remember where I read it but The Master Chief's armour is near indestructible. Hence the fact he can survive very high falls. Also, the Master Chief's sheild is incredibly hard to get down temproarily let alone destroy it. Anyway The Master Chief could just stick a plasma grenade to Stranger and wipe him out.

Edit:

We need to take into consideration the 'Rules of Engagement' set out in the article. i.e. Where? How? etc.

It's so obviously Stranger. Master Chief is a petty human. In no way could he actually carry 2000 pounds. Stranger, on the other hand, was designed specifically to handle large weights. His boots weight a whopping great deal if I recall.

Master Chief wouldn't know what hit him. He is more fictional than Stranger, and Stranger's not even a real Earthly creature!

Alcar...

Kimon 04-11-2005 06:09 PM

Ahhh, Master Chief is a petty CYBORG, not a petty human. :p

a flock of seagulls 04-11-2005 06:12 PM

its master chief, what with the warthogs, grenades, banshees, grunt-bashing skills, and double wielding SMGs. he could LICK stranger!

Paco_the_Taco 04-11-2005 07:26 PM

I dunno. If you took away their weapons and armor (making it an actual fight between THEM and not their arsenal), Master Chief would be an above average human with increased strength, while Stranger would be a fast, cunning, and powerful creature. I'd say Stranger.

a flock of seagulls 04-11-2005 07:36 PM

actually, chief isnt a human, hes a CYBORG.
even if you take away his armor, he could jump over stranger and hit him in the back of the head.
resulting in instant kill.

big bro slig #1 04-11-2005 07:38 PM

PLEASE do not get me wrong: But i did never soulemly swear that i would never insult oddworld but in 1 blow from the left hand from Master Cheif, stranger would be in a condition that it is not possible that a lone human being to expain in words. :evil: :chairhit:

Abe16 04-11-2005 08:13 PM

Yeah, chief would win...

duveaux 04-12-2005 08:24 AM

soo many outlaws noone kicked strangers ass.
I died more in Halo then in stranger.

Xavier 04-12-2005 08:27 AM

voted for Stanger...
one ram or two of stranger and Chief is down.
come on, see how chiefs die when a brute charges

Paco_the_Taco 04-12-2005 08:21 PM

A cyborg is still technically human. This brings up an interesting point: do MC's cybernetic parts count as part of him?

Rabid Fuzzle 04-13-2005 06:53 AM

Stranger would wipe his shiny metal arse on the floor

Nepharski 04-13-2005 08:43 AM

*The chant goes up.*

Stranger! Stranger! Stranger! STRANGER!

Oddish 04-13-2005 10:12 AM

Master chief is a Cyborg? Wow, I didn't know that.

Stranger is a little weakling compared to the other Steef, and Master chief dose armor and things. Stranger can ram him and knock him out, and has big fists. I'll go for Stranger

That could be because the covenant could whip the outlaw's collective arse.

Let's face it, the outlaws are a rag-tag militia of uneducated, unintelligent shlubs. The covenant are a deadly, trained army.

Paco_the_Taco 04-13-2005 06:45 PM

Here's an interesting thought: Wouldn't the true test of power and skill only work if they were given the exact same weapons and gear?

Hunk of Steef 04-13-2005 07:10 PM

Yes, that is correct, Chief has much more technology, making it an unfair fight in the first place.

Leto 04-14-2005 11:15 PM

Stranger= run in circles until MC runs out of ammo...Then he kills him with his infinite Zappflies! MC is toast...


Then again, This IS a Oddworld forum... It would be the complete opposite on HBO.

Pzak 04-15-2005 04:54 AM

Well, since I have only played Stranger and am not familiar with Master Chief, I will pose this question. If Master Chief, is a Cyborg, won't he short out when hit with the Electromechanical pulse (EMP) of a fully charged zappfly? A minor weapon in SW because most things are organic, but it does fry the electrical cabinets in the game.

And how can MC fight when he is vomiting in his armor after being hit with a Stunkz? Can he see through his puke covered visor?

duveaux 04-15-2005 06:08 AM

*gross sounds*
I don't think he smells the skunk'z smell inside his suite, but I also think stranger has better ammunition.

Rich 04-15-2005 09:09 AM

Master Chief should win as he's only one letter away from Master Chef.

Xavier 04-15-2005 11:45 AM

sorry RTI but that's the worst argument I saw since a long time

His armor protects him from electrical charges such as a Zappfly, but he would be injured.

There is much argument on if Chief should be considered a cyborg or not, but most just refer to him as a cyborg (He's a human underneath the armor, but with neural implants and such.)

And MC's helmet can block outside odors, ect., while also supplying him with a limited amount of oxygen, enabling him to breathe in space and underwater for a few hours.

Nonetheless, Stranger would probobly win.

Hunk of Steef 04-15-2005 05:34 PM

A zappfly would take off his shields and stingbees would finish him, if Stranger were to not be killed with a BR headshot in one second. It's a close game.

Nepharski 04-15-2005 08:26 PM

Well, I've just submitted my vote to the Stuffo People. Blow-by-blow account, so to speak. Stranger wins!!!

Hunk of Steef 04-15-2005 08:55 PM

Yeah when you email em thats sending the vote, right? Thats what I did.
