You've just learned? There's been debate for weeks over why Spartan-458 won't just break everyone of the kung-fu guys' skulls with her fists on DOA anboards, and Halo canon levels revolts and flamewars on Halo boards...

Ninja vs. cyborg? I approve.

Rather a mismatch. If we take Cyborg (which MC really technically isn't but that's an aside) to be Robot he should be fighting Zombies or the Ninja should fight Pirates.

That screenshot is quite awesome.

While your combat analysis is unquestionable in its logic, I must ask, how is MC not a cyborg?

You see, this is why I stick to old-school fighting games. Third Strike for life!!

Skeleton, I think-- notably shoulders/upper arms, legs/pelvis. That's how he's supposedly able to bench-press a Warthog without his armour, or at least that's how I heard it...

Listed in The Fall of Reach:

Advanced carbide ceramic material grafted onto bones to increase durability
Protein complex injections to increase muscle density and lower recovery time
Body growth hormone pellet injections to boost skeletal and muscle tissue growth
Occipital capillary reversal to increase blood flow to the eyes, resulting in enhanced vision
Superconducting fibers added to nerve endings, resulting in 300% increase in reflexes and increases in intelligence, memory, and creativity.

At least two of those are mechanical augementations, the nerve fibers especially.

Skeleton, I think-- notably shoulders/upper arms, legs/pelvis. That's how he's supposedly able to bench-press a Warthog without his armour, or at least that's how I heard it...

Unarmored, they're not quite that strong, although they can dent steel composite battle armor with their bare hands without feeling it.

Oh, true, he has little parts. I concede. By Cyborg I was thinking more of "Has a Robot Arm" or "I'll Be Back".

A SPARTAN would simply kick the shit out of any normal human. Any. I don't care how much of a 1337 n1nj4 the other guy is; he's just plain ol' dead.

I think a gay guy in bronze and agrive shield would be a much more fair match ... at least, that's what I was thinking about...

I think Makoto might give one a run for their money. You can't "kick the shit out of" anything when you've been stunned by a good Abare Tosanami combo.

We are talking about supersoldiers, one of which accidentally killed an unarmed combat instructor at the age of 14 without even trying. When armored, I wouldn't pit them against anything less than a Space Marine.

In case you missed the "

", I wasn't really being serious. You don't need to try and defend your superwank soldiers.

I'm currently playing Ninja Gaiden Black, and I'll tell you what, Ryu Hayabusa is one hell of a bad-ass. Play the game and you'll see.

Also, in a FMV preview for DOA4 (on the game's disc), he runs extremely fast and jumps extremely high (how fast and how high, you say? Well, he shatters the concrete around him in about a four foot radius when he lands.) before dodging multiple missles (take that, MC!) and then blowing up the helicopter with an Inferno Ninpo. Oh, he also sliced through another helicopter with his sword.

So yes, one hell of a bad-ass.

Yeah and we're talking about a Ninja who in the game has

-Take multiple tanks shots

-Missles

-Can deflect gunfire

And this is nothing about his supposed magic abilities.

Ryu is as wanky as a Spartan, if not more so.

Nobody in the DoA series could be classified as "normal" by any stretch of the word.

Least of all Ryu Hayabusa.

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2005-11-05 12:25pm

Clearly nobody in the DOA series is human. Breasts as large as those, with no asses to support a natural fomation hypothesis, plus being able to fight in hand-to-hand combat effectively with those things flying every which way (or Volleyball, for that matter).

Meanwhile, I just keep hearing "Wah wah SPARTANS kill all wah wah". It's a fighting game. Jesus fucking christ, who gives a shit about power level, it's about having a good time making two people beat the crap out of each other. It's not like this means a good goddamn towards Halo canon any more than the old Justice League fighting game for Genesis where Batman could beat up superman with his fists, or the Masters of Teras Kasi or whatever the fuck the Star Wars fighting game was called where Han could be the crap out of Luke and survive multiple direct hits from a lightsaber in the process.

It's a fighting game. It looks cool. Have fun. Christ.
