Ok, first of all, how do you figure that a Golden Elite has 299 units of health? Second, Samus’ suit can deflect bullets. How do I know? If a bullet proof vest from nowadays can absorb a shotgun shot and a handgun shot without killing the Human inside, Then I’m pretty sure a Super Intelligent race could make thier armor deflect bullets. Also, MC can live through a rocket shot if he has an overshield. An over shield would only increase MC’s health by about 1.5 of his original health/shields. That gives MC a grand total of 250 energy! Samus’ suit is stronger than MC’s, so it would do less damage to Samus. Samus could live through two Rocket Launcher Shots, even at your calculations. MC has to reload after 2 shots. The reloading process takes a while. And if you say Gameplay has to dum it down, it would still take a while. Now for another little comment. Some people have said that MC could Punch and kill Samus because he can dent Starship grade armor. Think of this. SAMUS CAN BLOW UP STARSHIP GRADE ARMOR! All in all, We have clarified that Samus would win under any circumstance. Now can we leave it at that?
Just because you have never seen it doesn’t mean it can’t be done. also, look at the cut scene in Metroid Fusion when the SA-X blows through a wall and a door! She also shuts down the elevator. If the SA-X can do that with Samus’ abilities, I’m positive Samus can do it. Also, as I said earlier, if armor from today can absorb bullets, then a Hyper-Intelligent race can make thier armor deflect bullets.
Ok, First, how do you know that? I know you know that, but How? Second, a man would SURVIVE. I also forgot to mention this. I pretty sure a Golden Elite does not survive 16 Pistol shots. Kevlar will stop it. That is my point. He/She wouldn’t die, that is my point. Ok, so we give MC another 50 energy. Again, my point was that he survives through a rocket shot. Two shots takes 600 of Samus’ energy(at the most), she still has 400 energy left. Not only that, she can dodge the rocket. How? Dash left or right. Not fast enough? Speed Booster. Also, grapple beam. She could shoot the rocket and detonate it before it reaches her. And now that I think about it, Dark Pirate Commandos and Golden Elites are not that different in armor and physical anatomy. If Samus can destroy those, she can destroy MC.
Ok, you have proven you’re point about Kevlar. I understand it better now, but for the rocket, Samus can just use the speed booster. And how do you know that those Rockets travel at 100 FPS? And now, I have one simple question. In the matter of Samus’ power, are we going by Prime or Zero Mission energy tanks? Not only that, If we are going by Prime 2 energy tanks, she would definitely live through two RL hits(If you’re calculations are exact). In Zero Mission, She would have energy to spare. And the Rod Cannon? You have all said Gameplay has to dum it down. Well, If MC is Carrying the RL and the Rod Cannon, that’s alot of weight on him. He could definitley not move as fast.
Even in Halo multiplayer MC can dodge the rocket blast and with Samus’ dodging capabilities so could she. Assuming she could lock on to the rocket, but she obviously could with the thermal visor. And in echoes, Samus can take a hit from a pirate grenadier in the light suit, and only take 15 damage.
thats a grenade, not a rocket.
rockets have more power
and btw, if samus had all these energy tanks and upgrades, of course she would win. she’s fu…ing invincible at that point(more or less)
It says when you pick it up it’s a rocket launcher.
The game refers to it as a rocket launcher.
The manual says it’s a rocket launcher.
Marines refer to it as a rocket launcher.
Never once is the term “grenade” ever applied to the thing.
From watching the rocket you can easily tell approximately how fast it
moves. And I’m talking Prime 1 energy tanks. And my calculations aren’t exact. Hunters do have about seven times Chief’s health on normal, so the Rocket Launcher does AT LEAST 699 damage in one direct hit. Seeing as how two hits kills a Wraith tank, close to invulnerable with all other weapons (save the Warthog’s Vulcan,) it surely does closer to 999 in one hit.
And, considering that Chief is an eight foot tall cyborg with incredible strength, twenty-five pounds of weapons wouldn’t hinder him in the least.
Of course Chief could dodge the rocket. He is much faster than Samus at running (without speedbooster.) Samus likely couldn’t.
Saying that she could outrun the rockets with speedbooster in any case is
ridiculous. It takes hundreds of feet of running to trigger it.
if she has it
and death ball in my mind is a power-up, cuz it boosts her stock abilities
and, jetman, metroid fanatic said that a grenade is about the same as a rocket, but that’s -blam!- if you stick a hunter with plasma grenade it doesn’t die, and they cant be much different from the pirate’s grenades, so…
A grenade is a non-propelled bomb (Unless it’s a rocket-propelled grenade, which is still different from a rocket) while a rocket is a propelled one.
A rocket propels itself as long as it hasn’t hit a target or run out of fuel.
In a rocket-propelled grenade the launcher permits the rocket motor exhaust to create an over-pressure within the tube. This over-pressure allows the warhead to obtain a speed greater than that which could be obtained from the specific impulse of the rocket motor.
Basically, what that means is that it uses a rocket mounted on the back of the grenade to generate a huge amount of pressure within the launcher, rather than the conventional methods of a regular grenade launcher. It keeps thrusting for a few seconds after it leaves the launcher, then shuts off, leaving it unpropelled for the rest of the flight except by kinetic energy.
A grenade is a thrown or pressure-ejected (I.E a regular grenade launcher) bomb.
Do you see the projectile the rocket launcher in Halo fires propelling itself even a good deal after launch? Yes.
