![]() Splinter Cell is fairly grounded while MGS can be batshit insane, so while Sam's toughest obstacle may be a bunch of heavily armed guys, and his solution is to incapacitate them, Snake's obstacles are often giant megaweapons and supersoldiers, and he can do whatever wacky thing Kojima can imagine to get out of a sticky situation. That said, during cutscenes the game can come up with whatever plot point it wants to keep its protagonist alive, and in this case Metal Gear can go way further when it comes to problems and solutions. Video game protagonists usually have the inherent superpower that they can never lose, because their canon relies on the fact that they always accomplish their mission (if they die during gameplay, time resets and they try again.) I let this go because it makes for great storytelling and an interesting rivalry.Ĭrossover fights between protagonists like this are ridiculous in the first place because they don't account for the metadata that describes each character's abilities. If this was the case, they wouldn't be identical twins nor "perfect" clones of Big Boss. I love Sam Fisher as a stealth fan, but this was not going to be a very competitive fight from the start.Īlso, they just HAD to put Snake's speech about the cardboard box in the middle of the battle lolz.Įdit: Technically, if Solid Snake is indeed a "perfect" clone of Big Boss and the identical twin of Liquid Snake, I am very positive that you can't have one twin have all of the recessive genes and the other with all the dominant. Also the fact that the Metal Gear Franchise has Snake fighting giant ass bipedal machines and fantastical opponents makes anything that Sam does look pitiful. Solid is already genetically predisposed to be equal or surpass Big Boss, who would also probably beat Sam Fisher. This is somewhat unfair of a fight considering that Solid Snake is quite literally a super soldier cloned and trained by the greatest solider ever in the MGS universe whereas Sam Fisher, while definitely an elite combatant, is still a normal person.
