Game Debate to the Death!</br>Samus VS Jade photo

Last week we started off round two of our best gaming heroine debate, and the votes were the closest I've ever seen at first, but eventually one clear winner emerged and dominated the debate. Here were the results:

  • Jill: 37 votes
  • Tifa: 65 votes - Winner!

That leaves Metroid's Samus and Beyond Good and Evil's Jade for this week's debate to finish off round two. Which woman deserves to win and why? Weigh the pros and cons, cast your votes, give your reasons, and check back next week for a winner! One more round to go!

Samus in a landslide. She has no character? That didn't stop her from beating Laura Croft who has a bunch of character. She has big boobs? Is that bad? Still didn't stop her from beating the biggest of them all. She will win the whole thing I think.

Is there even a debate? Samus singlehandedly created the free roaming, sideescrolling adventure shooters. Not to mention if you fuck up her name it's going to be Seamus and for all the Irish out there, that is almost even better.

I'd take Samus with her old outfit any day of the week. I mean, I'd think about it, cuz I love Jade. But in that new catsuit? Uh...yeah. Samus wins.

So everyone votes for the fucking chick that hides in a robot suit all day.

Typical goddamn nintenmado fanboys. "OMG ETC."

Jade is a way better choice, as other's of said , she has this thing callled a personality, and a very awesome one at that. Also she's way hotter then Samus, and I had more fun in BG&E then any metroid game ever.

Also, most people probably still haven't realised that samus is, infact a woman. only the interweb freaks know her real gender.

I'm going to vote Jade, because she's the better option, and Samus is going to win with or without my vote. Samus also has a slightly better chance of knocking out Tifa, since you asshats gave her the win last week. Tits and miniskirt vs. full skin-tight bodysuit. It should be epic. It's just a contest I'd expect to see on 4chan.

P.S. Please don't do another one of these. It's so horrifyingly reminiscent of those GameFAQs character battles where Sephiroth always wins. =(

Samus FTW.

And I'm seeing that a lot of the people who drank their Haterade today are going on and on about the Samus voters being fanboys. Stating that people are only voting for her 'cause she's got a rack and blond hair. Well, the reason Tifa got so many votes was due to the volume of her fuck-udders.

Pot, meet kettle.

Err, what point were you trying to make? It's not like the haterade drinkers weren't hating on Tifa too.

But Samus is a living legend.

Jade, because green lipstick never looked so good. Also because she's a truly fascinating character, which is more than I can say about a chick who's most interesting thing is turning into a giant bowling ball.

It's already a lost cause, but I've been watching my girlfriend play Beyond Good & Evil all week, and Jade is a much, much better character than Samus, who is merely a femmebot with an arm cannon.

JADE!

Hmm, gonna have to go with Samus on this one. Jade really was a unique character, and true, Samus has shit-to-nil on backstory (there was a GBA game where apparently she had a love interest that was here old boyfriend's brain in a computer and also had lines of dialouge), but Samus has been kickin ass and taking names for a while now.

Not a really big fan of metroid, but i'll go with samus nonetheless. My reasons? Metroid prime was fucking awesome, somebody that could curl up into a ball like that deserves alot of credit, and last time I checked a laser cannon beats a camera

P.S. fuck you Tifa! jill should have won!!!

Fuck you guys Jade all the way. Samus is the still the generic pretty blond big breasted chick. I don't buy that JUST because she wears full body armor and JUST because you dont realize shes a chick at the end of the game and it's a huge twist doesn't make her any more special or any LESS of a stereotype objectified woman.

Jade is a minority (latina? Thats what i figured), smart, and doesnt have a quadruple D cup. Also her game brought something new to the table. Metroid was an improved Ghosts 'n Goblins, and the Castlevania games were better anyway.


So basically, Samus doesn't have the girl power to be better than Jade. She is the same as any other girl in videogames. At least Jade isn't a big breasted sex object.

------------------------------------------------------------

Where the fuck were you when we were voting between jill and Tifa? This argument applies much more to that debate because if tifa didn't have huge melons she wouldn't have won.
