Game Debate to the Death! Tifa VS Samus photo

This is it! The final round! Last week we finished round two of our best gaming heroine debate, and it turned out to be one of the most one-sided weeks we've ever seen. Tifa's slaughter of Aeris in round one was even more lopsided, but to pull these kind of numbers in the second round is impressive.

In the next month or two we're going to revisit a few old game debates from last year to see how things have changed over the last twelve months, but I think it's safe to say that we never need to hold last week's debate ever again on Dtoid. Here were the results:

  • Jade: 26 votes
  • Samus: 79 votes - Winner!
That leaves just Metroid's Samus and Final Fantasy's Tifa for the last round in our  month-long debate. Despite both women being beautiful, things should definitely get ugly quick, how do you choose between the two? That's up to you to decide -- which woman deserves to win and why? Weigh the pros and cons, cast your votes, give your reasons, go get some of your friends to sign up and give their opinions too, and check back next week for this year's champion!

To quote Sam Beckett, "Oh, boy."

There's no way to easily choose who I want to win more. Sadly though, I have to make a decision.

Samus FTW

Since she actually was the hero of her games and not just a bit player, the win goes to her.

In response to the whole 'no personality' thing....
If the first woman to climb Everest was a completely air-headed 'dumb blond' stereotype, should her feat be lessened because she is not the 'right' type?
I dislike opinions based on quality of jugs (my past party antics can attest to that). Samus wins because she was the first girl in gaming not relegated to a lame role. I found out Samus was a girl in Metroid II and the coolness of that is one heck of a moment in my gaming history.
I also never had Tifa in my party in FF.
Samus y'all.

Samus for me. Tifa may have big breasts, but Samus has balls.

Tifa because of giant boobs

once i saw Samus hilton for super smash on the wii she lost her credibility

On one hand, Tifa has giant boobs and I'd totally bang her. On the other, "dilly dally shilly shally" is pretty much the single most annoying phrase in the history of the universe. My vote goes to Samus.

I would have said Tifa but I can't be on the losing side again.

"found out Samus was a girl in Metroid II and the coolness of that is one heck of a moment in my gaming history. "

...

Also samus fucking sucks. you could turn her into a man and it wouldn't change her character at all. her gender is just there for novelty. she's nothing special. My vote goes to tifa. just to stick it to you GOD FUCKING DAMN NINTENDO FANBOY BASTARDS.

Well, it's hard to choose but I love that quiet and mysterious personality of Samus. So my vote goes to her.

"dilly dally shilly shally" hahahahaha. I think it was "zuru zuru" in japan, slightly less annoying, but i remember that scene sticking out both times i saw the movie.

Gotta love all the pre-pubescent teens voting for the bigger breasts. While Tifa is dilly dally shilly shalling around, Samus will launch a super missile up her tiny ass.

Plus, samus has GOT to be one flexible bitch to be able to fit into that little ball. Fuck breasts, I want a girl who can bend like that.

Samus FTW!

My vote is for Samus hands down. While I know Tifa kicks some serious butt in the looks department, it's just something about the eyes... Samus' eyes that is ;-) Gotta love the green!!!

Tifa!!! I think that Metroid sickness can be sexually transmited...

And of course Samus is alone!! If it dont work out she dont have any friends you can mess with!! With Tifa you can then jump to Yuffi or any NPC you encounter!! After all every human like person in that universe look like a girl.

Samus must be a real bitch because you never see her with anybody

While Samus has the upper hand in ball-rolling-into ability, Tifa gets my vote.

Samus.
I like Tifa, but I do have to agree that the dilly dally is annoying as hell if you think about it too much.

I want a version of Advent Children where Tifa dies, and Cloud is too depressed over Aeris to notice or care. Tifa is way stupid.

Samus. Don't ever leave me!!!!!!

Samus, They both kick ass and take names, but Samus has something more than just eye candy

"If you think Samus couldn't have destroyed Meteor all by her lonesome, you're fooling yourself. Hell, she would have done it during a speed run in less than two hours and gotten naked at the end, which is a damn sight more than Tifa has ever done."

QFT

"Tifa. Saving the world > Blowing up a planet, IMO"

Potentially saving the universe more or less by herself -> Helping a bit saving the world, IMO.

"Plus she never even shows her face except at the end of most of the games, and the last couple of times they didnt even bother to render her very well.."

In the Prime series you can see her face in the reflection of her visor. Which is very cool.

So yeah, my vote goes for Samus Aran. She kicks ass, totally, while Tifa more or less just bounces around with boobs.

i remember i had a bunch of 1990 Nintendo power mags and they included the metroid comic books which gave a little insight into her character, if it were Barret vs tifa it would be a competition but otherwise imma gonna vote for samus.
