finish-fight.jpgThe Halo 3 Beta has come and gone but the guys and gals over at Bungie Studios are still feeding their Halo hungry fans.

If the breathtaking new “Finish The Fight” artwork doesn’t satisfy your craving for the chief, then take a look behind the scenes of what we here at ripten have in store for our readers in the coming weeks.

After you sort through the Halo art from Bungie you will find the comic style artwork of artists Jonathan Lo and Kristoffer who are brining to life a battle between Metriod’s Samus Aran and Halo’s Master Chief. All of this is a part of our exclusive “King Of The Game” series which will be hitting the site in the next few weeks.

We have all seen top ten lists when it comes to video game characters, but have you ever wondered what would happen if they actually had to go head to head to earn the title of the baddest character to ever call a console home? Well we here at ripten.com did, and that is why we decided to hire a group of talented illustrators to work on our “King Of The Game” series which pits 32 of the most well known video game characters against each other in a single round elimination tournament. Each battle takes place in a different NFL football stadium and features John Madden as the play by play announcer teamed up with a different celebrity color commentator each week.

page1.gifpage2.gifWith the magnitude of the Samus versus Master Chief match up we thought it would be cool to give our readers two different perspectives to the battle. The above art is that of Jonathan Lo and the art to the left is that of Kristoffer. We first gave our readers a glimpse of his work yesterday. Enjoy the art and remember we really do want to hear your thoughts on who you think should win. Final art for the battles will be hitting the site in the next 2 weeks so check back often!

    Gotta be honest, I never heard of this site before finding it on digg but the art looks great. Can’t wait to see the finished work. Travis-

    Scotty,

    Very funny video, especially the dance off at the end. Unfortunately there will be no teaming up and no dancing in our tournament. One of two will be leaving in a box. Thanks for the link.

    Mad-

    Master Chief should win. Sure, samus has a gun for her right arm, but Master chief has damn near superhuman reflexes, extreme strength, and great tech.

    Well, actually, this match-up is quite bad because Samus would win hands down.
    Master Chief is a human-made, human-trained cyborg with some tech based on a alien race that has stalled in it’s technological development.

    Samus is infused with alien blood, raised on a planet with a harsher enviroment Master Chief has ever experciened, trained as a warrior by a alien race that created the Metroids as the ultimate warriors (Samus actually being trained to exterminate the Metroids, go figure) and then gets stuffed in a suit that defies all kinds of human physics and science with so much tech in it she can scan for every bloody weak spot Master Chief has and exploit them with a bazillion options.

    And you can’t say that Master Chief has better expercience either.

    In short, Samus is better trained, far better equipped, far more flexible in her options and maybe even more expercienced.

    i think that the chief and samus are pretty evenly matched, with all their power ups i.e for samus: spider ball, super bomb, screw attacke etc. and if the chief had bubble shield, over shield, active camo, flare, regen, mines, etc. they would kill each other quite eqaully. and the suits are pretty similar, but i dont think that samus’ suit can withstand being shot from outerspace at the speed of sound crash through earths atmosphere without a scracth.

    master chief would own samus in hand to hand combat though if they were out of there suits.

    as far as enemies, the flood and metroid would both be pretty hard to kill, but the covenant are WAY harder than space pirates.

    oh yeah, and the chief would just snipe samus from 1.5 km away with the either a beam rifle or the SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle. or he could spartan laser her…

    Chief and samus evenly match.. what a joke.. im laughing my figgin ass off -.- cmon all she needs to do is “wave beam -charge- SHOOT!” and hes paralyzed.. and then you might say “BLOH he DOUGES(dodges)” but no.. he would’nt.. the wave beam is homing whatever the dirt biker does(mc).. so hes paralyzed then cahrge then shoot then charge then shoot.. and hes gone maybe on some charges…

    Samus is superio chief is inferior.. you cant compare these two!! why cant people see that? Take teh guy from crysis instead!! he’s even to chief since our friend Heart Grenade
    said chief has his super reflexes (that never show up in the games) and hes super strength (that shows on flipping a warthog)

    And some people even say that samus would die by a punch that chief gives her..

    let me clear this up =/

    Punch=omega pirate claws slashes samus.. still alive..

    Sword=flagghra slices samus.. still alive..

    running over with a warthog=emperor ing running into you WITH! more weight!(how you might ask.. the damn thing is huuuge!)

    and gravity hammer. That hammer is based on gravity right? that’s why its called that.. but why wont a biiiig fall kill samus but it’ll kil chief? why is it that Halo fans always MUST! boost chief.. and even if they do its still not comparable :D!
    she survives hes worst weapons…

    Now lets pick on lazawrcat 666

    well you’ve never played metroid right ^^? bullets touches her head all the time lad..

    besides the covenant are simple humans! they’re flesh and bone!! Space pirates are hard plated and do take time to kill… chief has bullets… and bullets kill his shield around him… then his armor is BOFF gone! if bullets hit samus i think she could’ve taken a nap before she heard the little alarm that go’s (beep beep) and hand to hand right? she is trained with a whip.. what makes you thimk that samus is an amateur in fighting shooting and aiming.. she has implants that boosts her reflexes and sense and chozo blood that boost’s her muscles and makes the blood flow go faster wich makes her pretty much rested all the time.. and she relies on alien technology.. chief does’nt.. his armor is build and forged with human hands.. that are still low on technology.. and you’re pretty stupid xS i dont want to insult you or anything but what the fuck? -sniper kills her or spartan laser- do you reall think she’d stand still? are you reall that kind of warrior? wow dude…. besides if chief was hiding behind a wall.. then she could use x-ray visor to spot his cyborg ass.. then she could mostly play with him while being a morph-ball.. spin around then lay a super bomb wich annhilates everything in reach of 5 meters

    and the active camo can be spotted by x-ray/thermal visor

    and he uses bubble shield.. she moves away and waits… then when chief is out she kills him… OR!! she could use dark burst… it shoots a powerful beam shot that makes a black hole.. wich eventually would drag chief out of the bubble and in the hole.. then hes dead again.. OR!! she could just shoot a charged plasma shot! woops chief avoided it!… then we’ll take annhilator beam.. follows.. lock on or not

    and one more thing.. chief is explained as ûber reflexing super powerful and those kind of crap… tell me… why cant i see that Halo fans? why tell me why it wont show in the games.. sure he flips a warthog… woo! finally! and then he dies of heights.. OR! someone punches him! BAFF dead…. or!! he gets shot in the head pow! dead.. you might say taht samus might die aswell… but what makes you think taht a bullet can penetrate her shield? the pirates use beam based weapons becuase it much more powerful and they do alot more damage and they affect on her.. bullets wont! so good luck chief.. you just made your day….

    you’ll get F*cked!
