When Halo Met DOA
The official Bungie site is running an article entitled The Making of SlugFest, the story of how a Spartan ended up in Dead or Alive 4. From the article: "Initially, team Ninja wanted, and asked very politely, for Master Chief. Well, we balked at that. Master Chief is busy, fictionally speaking. We left him at the end of Halo 2, involved in a very large scale galactic conflict with world-ending repercussions. Fictionally speaking, he just wasn't available for fisticuffs. But we loved the idea of seeing a Spartan fight, unarmed. You have to figure they'd be pretty serious pugilistic contenders right? Half ton of bio-mechanically enhanced armor-clad uber-trained soldiering nightmare? Has to have at least a decent right hook."
Half ton of bio-mechanically enhanced armor-clad uber-trained soldiering nightmare?
I don't know Dead or Alive (I would never buy an XBox), but I'm sure all his armor and stuff won't help him against some Japanese teenage girl in a school uniform.
She'll beat him up. They just didn't want this to happen to their beloved Master Chief.
I don't need a signature.
Let's look at a modern day example; Take one of our best marines (or your favorite blend), take away his gun, and put some armor on him. Then match him/her against Bruce Lee. Bruce would win, and that is the same situation they would be in in DOA. [Man, I haven't argued about something like this since college] Oh! and ha! obvious Troll against XBox since at least one DOA has come out on Saturn, Dreamcase, PS1 and PS2 also.
Well, Indiana Jones beat a tank, and he's pretty tough. And on this basis, I feel Bruce Lee could probably beat Indiana Jones.
So the question becomes: Is this sort of thing transitive?
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
