Even if it's not the best in the series (I can think of several other contenders) it's definitely gotta be top 5. For Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain on the PlayStation 3, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'The Snake bias from fans in the Snake v Sam death battle is 4 real'. To this day it's still one of a handful of battles I can always go back to and NEVER be bored. While I think most people figured this would go to Snake, I don't know how many expected this episode to be so intense. Sam falls to the floor, Snake catches the drive, lights up a smoke and."piece of cake." Perfect.Īlso I'm just a huge sucker for the ScrewAttack fanservice they snuck in. The DDS2 final boss theme hitting the chorus while Snake, bleeding and on his last legs, gives one last stand against Sam (even delivers a CLEAN German Suplex, Kurt Angle style!) before hard cutting to silence as he lands the killing blow. That alone makes this one of the most creative episodes in the series in my book.Īnd after all of that, it has one of the wildest climaxes in the series too. Snake and Sam do a ton of close quarters combat and get to use all their tech, but they also stay true to their stealth game origins by playing what is basically a fatal version of hide and seek.

And then we get two top of their game pro soldiers show off their martial arts training with the beloved Anarchy Reigns soundtrack playing.įor the rest of the episode we really see Ben's fears alleviated.
Snake and Sam standing back to back, with only a door separating them, the MGS3 main theme starting up along with Otacon's "Snake.he's behind the door!" right before the "FIGHT!" message kicks in still gets me hyped even after all these years. Sam doesn't sound much like Michael Ironside, but he still brings the same tone and cadence that the character requires.īut let's talk about the fight itself. Not only do we get the legendary Chris Sabat as Snake ("this'll be a piece of cake"), but Otacon is damn near spot on as well. The intro with Snake dropping in from a helicopter with that suspenseful music, and then the codec popping up and introducing us to what is probably the best voice acting and direction of any Death Battle up to this point. Theyre both masters of stealth combat but, as the main men of Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid meet, things were always. Most of the characters that Snake beat, like Foxhound, Sam could probably beat too except for Psycho Mantis (who Snake only beat via breaking the fourth wall) Sam could beat Vulcan Raven (probably one of the easiest opponents given how he's a slow moving brute) Sniper Wolf (via stealth) Ocelot might be a problem in a gun fight but Snake has never beaten Ocelot either, Gray Fox who Snake never really beat either since it was confirmed that Fox wanted Snake to kill him. The setup for this episode is perfect, really does feel right at home for both series. Not only that, but the jokes all land pretty well too ("What is with you today?" "I dunno." Still gets me every time.). The analysis for both characters does an excellent job breaking it down for the viewer, especially Snake, given how convoluted Metal Gear's plot tends to get. It's the Mario vs Sonic or Ryu vs Scorpion of this genre. Im kind of iffy on those ones but Snake VS Sam Fisher and Darth Vader VS Doctor Doom were spot-on, they seem to be getting themselves back together. 26 duoranger The gap between a Madman and a Maniac. Just keep that in mind.įirst of all, this is near unanimously considered the best matchup for these two, and a dream matchup for anyone who enjoys stealth games. The official SB Death Battles thread is officially open for business.
