Poll Video Game Showdown

This would be a epic fight. I do not know if the melee characters would be up for it, but they deserve a chance. Could Mario&Luigi take Master Chief (halo)? Could Megaman take Snake?
And the question I have asked my self for years: Could Predator take Link?

[reblaw]

The Hero of Time shall triumph over all! :-)

[frgsinwntr]

no one can take link

[soronthebeast]

I think you guys are forgetting what a total unbeatable team the Mario bro. are!
common guys Master Chief would take Link down, and the Mario brothers would fire flower Chief to pieces!

[agonthier]

Master Chef would cook a delicious meal, and no one would want to fight because they are so full

No matter how many extra lives, powerups, or firearms you have, you cannot kill a god. And the Triforce makes its wielder a god. Link wins.

[soronthebeast]

Tri Force this Tri Force that. I am getting tried of this Tri Force.
It’s not like all of those guys do not have a "god mode" of one form or another. Link traditionally only has one piece of said tri-force, and that’s the way it should be when he fights. In the Link vs Jedi we had him just have the Tri-force of courage, and that’s the way it should be for the polls, just like the other "god modes" should not count!
I mean I could say Mario has 99 lives and 50 starmen, or that sonic has all of those gem things, or that the first person shooters are in god mode, but then we are back to "God battle" and no one liked that.

SoronTheBeast (8:58:59 PM): if your giving link everything he CAN have, and mario everything he CAN have...

I'm only playing by the rules you set forth. If you'd like to limit the available resources, I'll be glad to reanalyze the sitation.

[soronthebeast]

You’re missing the “IF” there. I said that to show that “if” you did then Mario would still win since you only get 1 wish off of the tri force and Mario can have lots of stuff.
But you really should not because it gets into a god battle, which is not the context of this poll

alright, heres my rundown

Samus is always better than megaman, eliminate megaman.
Samus, Master Chief and snake all have limited resources. If an enemy can outlast them, they can be beaten.
The predator has invisibility, (other characters can get it, but it is limited, as long as it is the only thing he doing, the predator can keep it up almost indefinitely)
Link is super ridiculous, but as I said last time we talked about him, he is very forward-centric, he has little defense against attacks from behind. The Mario brothers are similar in that respect, almost all of their heavy artillery is forward facing (additionally, in the early '90s books, they are represented as pretty bumbling, most of their victories are lucky)
I have a little trouble with sonic, because he is represented so differently in different media.
I have seen him represented as almost as fast as the flash, but I have also seen him represented slower.
At any rate, almost all of these character are in a position of weakness with regards to a speedster.
Under most circumstances, this would lead me to choose sonic outright, but depending on how careful the predator is being in his stalking, and whether or not link took the predator out before he was capped by sonic, I could see the predator taking out sonic. (sonic has this horrible tendancy to stop running when he is confused, and I could easily see him becoming confused by an enemy that can become invisible at will)
I believe I will vote for sonic, but predator is a close runner up for me.

That's all the justification I need to vote for Sonic as well.
