The Japanese are weird like that. They regard blood type the same way we Westerners regard the "mutant Zodiac" (as opposed to the Eastern "animal Zodiac").

The mutant zodiac is bull. It says I'm a Kuato, but I'm totally a Donnatello.

ok there is one big difference between mairo and master chief, mairo at best can throw flame ballsat him and master chief would just kick him in the balls and shoot him in the head

Potential hilarious moment lost. Next time make a cell phone video of said event.

Master chief is unable to kick him in the balls. He doesn't have the ball kicking animation.

Mario can take a whole line of people out with a single turtle shell. Imagine what he can do with space marine weapons. Plus, he has platformer hit invincibility. So you fire your little gun, hit him, he's still alive and has like 3 seconds to wail on you without fear of harm before you can hit em again. Considering a lot of halo fights take several shots and last about 2-4 seconds, mario has ample time to take you out.

I already explained all of this shit to him at lunch. He just doesn't believe it.

Also if Mario had the Tanooki Suit, he'd totally pwn the Master.

Posted: Apr 13 2007 09:47 pm

That'd rule. Master Chef would be all "Rocket, n00b! I pwn3d y0u!!!" and Mario would just turn into a statue, and then come out and tail-whip his ass.

going that way, Mario doesn't have the required sprites to use halo weaponry, and Master Chief has a recharging overshield. Mario dies in one hit unless he has a powerup, which he then loses. without a power up, all he can do is jump on MC's head, which I don't see happening.

But in FPS world, a headshot is in an instant kill. So if Mario *does* manage to jump on MC's head, he's won.

Unless MC hides in his armor like a Koopa Troopa. Then Mario has to pick him up and kick him at a line of Goombas, or wedge it next to a step or pipe and jump on it until he gets like 120 lives.

olny one prob what if mc gets inviso, mario he would not be able to see him and if he were able to some how see him he could just drop a shild nade seen in halo 3 to protect him self as he is kicking mario's ass

nope. not in halo. a headshot will instantly drain the overshield, then another headshot will kill. regardless,that's SHOOTING someone in the head. it yoe melee them in the head they won't die instantly unless it's the back of the head.

so basically, mario has to jump on hte back of master chief's head twice to kill him, without getting shot, blown up, melee'd, or run over.

a halo fight and a mario fight are a tad different. you can't say "mario has invincibility" and then ignore the fact that he dies in one hit.

Depends WHICH Mario.

Super Mario dies in two hits.
Mario dies in 2-4 hits in SMB2.
Powered-Up Mario dies in two hits in SMB1 and the Japanese version of SMB3.
Power-Up Up Mario dies in 3 hits in Super Mario World and the American version of SMB3.
Mario 64 dies in 4 hits, but he can recharge by picking up coins or quickly jumping in and out of water.
Paper Mario can probably level up to the point where he has as much health as Master Chief, as can any other RPG Mario.

Posted: Apr 28 2007 02:21 pm

I don't think we'll solve this, but my thinking is that if Mario were in Halo, he'd get pwn3ed unless he had a suit and gene therapy like Master Chief, and if Master Chief were in SMB, he would get pwn3ed unless he had access to shit like fire flowers and stars.

But, since the argument was originally about which game series is better, I'm going with Super Mario Brothers. It's more long-standing, and unlike Halo the single-player and multiplayer aspects are both insanely fun.

Posted: Apr 28 2007 02:26 pm

Oh, Mario also has access to POW blocks.

Posted: Apr 28 2007 04:52 pm

And the warthog isn't so impressive when Mario uses a lightning bolt.

Posted: Apr 29 2007 02:43 am

This is dumb. A more productive argument would be comparing characters from similar genres. Like Master Chef to any one of the generic meatheads from Gears of War. Or Duke Nukem.

Posted: Apr 29 2007 12:33 pm

Duke Nukem would rip all those guys a new arsehole!!

Posted: Apr 29 2007 02:32 pm

Master Chief should've been like the Doom Marine in the first Doom: devoid of personality. They gave him a small amount, and now he seems shallow. Does the Doom Marine seem shallow? No, because it seems like you ARE him instead of PLAYING AS him.
