cannon, ability to morph into a ball and
drop those little bomb things

I dunno...Boba is pretty tight.

Hard to say since we never really see what Boba is cabable of, but if you use Jango as a model, I think it would be a pretty good fight.

Boba Fett was nearly killed (or killed, depending on whether you accept the EU or not) by a blind man wielding a vibroblade very badly.

Hmmm.... let see. Under the armor, Samus is a totally hot babe. Boba Fett... well, he isn't a hot babe. I'd pick Samus then, ^^.

Boba Fett namely because of flight. Providing he is skilled at dodging in the air too. Of course any skilled jedi could kill them both....

But samus has several upgrades on her suit that allow her to fly, so boba doesn't have much advantage there.

Also she can use homing missiles, x-ray, flamethrower, ice beam, and a suit and energy tanks that manage much damage inflicted.

What games does Boba Fett Appear in? As far as I know, all appears as a near-last boss in both Empire Strikes Back/Super Empire Strikes Back, and as a late boss in Dark Forces. In the first two, he's an annoying boss, as all of them are. In Dark Forces, he's fairly easy, though he's constantly flying with excelent agility, and using rapid-fire missiles. He may be powerful, but he's not incredibly versatile...

As for Samus Aran, I have yet to play Metroid Prime (I don't own a GC). However, I do know that she has a huge arsenal, putting most other fictitious characters to shame. Also, she has the advantage of being the main characters, which never dies when I'm playing.

As for who would win, It would depend on how prepared Samus was (how far into the game you've gotten). At the beggining, Fett would quickly put an end to her career. But later, especially after acquiring some of the more awesome powers (I don't know which appear in MP, though), such as the Gravity Jump (Infinite Jumping in mid-air), The Screw Attack (Instantly kill anything you touch in mid-air), as well as a S***-load of Energy Tanks, Boba Fett, as cool as he is (and missing all his nerves, so he can't feel pain), would not stand a chance.

You missed quite a few abilities.



Samus Aran.

Advantages: Space Jump + Screw Attack means she can fly indefinitely, while totally invulnerable. Space Jump is greater than the rocket pack on its own, but when you couple it with the screw attack? Dead Boba.

Morph ball bombs, power bombs, missiles, super missiles, charge beam... all explosive weapons, and Samus is immune to all of her own weapon fire.

In addition to the arm cannon/Power Beam, Samus has the Wave Beam (which can penetrate walls), the Ice Beam (which can freeze opponents into solid objects, such as Boba Fettsicle), the Plasma Beam (which can penetrate armor, such as Mandalorian armor), the Spazer Beam/Wide Beam which lets you fire multiple shots at once, and - in the most powerful form - the Hyper Beam which is a god weapon of unholiness.

The Power Suit can take a lot of abuse, and even after you pound the living hell out of it Samus can recharge it up with a few missiles and power bombs. And don't forget reserve tanks.

And then there are frills, like the Gravity Suit which lets Samus move totally unhindered by water/environmental resistance or gravitational phenomena, the X-ray scope (or scan/xray/thermal/combat visors if you're more of a Prime person), and the grapple beam.

Samus has way more cool toys than Boba Fett, and they're a lot more devastating than anything Fett has too.

Edit: Oh yes, and I almost forgot the mysterious Power Shield moves that were seen in Super Metroid. Meaning that, depending on her powerups and active beam configuration, the charge beam can function as an impenetrable shield or even a poor man's screw attack. It's quite a marvelous little weapon.

Also, and I'm having trouble remembering how this worked, but in Fusion the arm cannon could also function as a melee attack that can penetrate through thin walls.

I didn't feel like making a huge post. ::shrug::

And yes, if Samus meets Boba Fett on her way off of Zebes at the end of M3, Fett would go down in one Hyper Beam shot, as do all the other enemies, which are hyper-tough normally.

As for the Screw Attack, it doesn't make you completely invulnerable. Ridley is immune to it, but it does help in protecting her from his flaming breath. I believe it does work on the previous bosses, though you have to use the Game Genie to get it that early...

In addition to what you listed, he also appears in SOTE (Shadows of the Emire). Hard to take him down w/o the right stuff.

Samus, and I haven't played a Metroid game since 1989.

I can't think of anything to put here right now.

WTH? You're listing Samus's armor as a special ability?! If anything, Boba has MUCH better armor. You're forgetting Mandalorian Armor is so powerful and rare that Boba is the only person in the galaxy to have a full set of it. It's the only thing that kept him kickin' in the Sarlacc all that time!

Don't forget Fett was in JA too.. not so much a boss as just the only enemy you run into in one mission.. but still.. he was there!

I still vote Samus

That's debateable.

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

...I'm guessing you've never played a single Metroid game, ever.

How do I put this? With the Gravity Suit you don't take damage from most lava. Even Darth Vader was almost vaporized when he took a lava bath, and he's the most powerful being in the entire Star Wars universe.

Not to mention that the Power Suit was constructed by the same race that engineered the Metroids and is basically powered by life force.

Boba Fett would win, because Samus Aran is really a man (which was implied in one of the Metroid games).

Oh yeah, a final note about the Power Suit: There's something inarguably special about it. It's somewhat biological and functions as part of Samus Aran's body. In addition, Space Pirates have never been able to reliably use Samus' powerups. In Metroid Prime it's mentioned that experiments involving the Morph Ball has resulted in some pretty mangled Pirate 'volunteers,' even though it's been demonstrated on repeated occasions that Space Pirates have had access to actual Morph Ball devices.

If you look carefully in Prime, Samus is really a sphere of energy inside the Morph Ball.

God's sig is too long and lame, and Jin saw that it was bad.
