Who Will Win? Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher

A while ago, we posed a hotly debated question to the community: Who will win in a fight -- Master Chief or Samus Aran? Your response was tremendous and you made your voices heard. In a knock-down, drag-out fight, it was the great censored who finally landed the killing blow, leaving nothing left of censored except pieces of broken armor and blood soaked censored.

Now the time comes for two other champions to battle it out. Never has there been two more evenly matched opponents. Two master spies who've each saved the world four times over. But now when they fight, they fight to save their own lives...

Who will win this battle royale? See for yourself.

In this corner, Metal Gear Solid's very own Solid Snake:

And in this corner, Splinter Cell rogue agent Sam Fisher:

Solid Snake makes his way behind a crate near the entrance of the secret base. He settles into a nice cool spot next to a forklift -- a welcomed contrast to the blazing heat of the jungle where he spent the last 8 hours inching his way here. It wasn't easy. He had to sneak past 20 guards, putting to sleep 18 of them, killing only 1 and feeding another to a very happy alligator. The new Metal Gear he heard about must be inside this facility. It's too well guarded not to be. There are 5 more guarding the red door up ahead. And he needs to be in there before time runs out.

Snap! Crackle! 'n Pop! Uggh! Shank!

Solid Snake: Huh? What was that noise?

Otacon: What happened, Snake?

Solid Snake: Don't wet your pants, kid, but I just saw 5 guards get taken out like they were twigs. I'm turning on my OctoCamo. I think we've got a rogue agent in here.

Otacon: Two mice after the same piece of cheese, huh? This is NOT good.

Solid Snake: Yeah, well, the guy's fast. All I saw were flashes of green when he was killing the last guard. Must be from his goggles. Octacon, find out if those are government issue. I want to know who else I'm up against. And if need be, who I need to take out. Snake out.

Sam Fisher: I take the lives of a few to protect the lives of many. I commit acts of war to preserve the greater peace. I take no joy in killing, but make no mistake -- I'll do what needs to be done. Because it's my job. It's my duty. My name is Sam Fisher, and I am... a Splinter Cell.

Colonel Irving Lambert: What was that? Sam, you say something?

Sam Fisher: Uh-no, forget it. Just that.. I could really go for some Rice Crispies right now.

Col. Lambert: What? Focus on the mission, Sam. Breakfast later.

Sam Fisher: Yea, you're right. I-I lost my mind for a second. Tell me about the WMD again.

Col. Lambert: You are to proceed to the Distribution Center and assume control of the terrorist's WMD. It's being moved tonight so you'll have to act fast. Our intel says it is most likely hot. Nuclear active. Bring it back to us, Sam. We're counting on you.

Sam Fisher: Yea, you and the whole free world, Lambert! And me on an empty stomach.

Col. Lambert: Um -- thanks?

Sam Fisher: Save it. I think this dead guy's got a cereal bar. Hey you, dead guy. You speak English? I bet your neck you do.

Guard: Huh? I know some English. Who are you? How did you get here. No dead guy here. You are the dead guy!

Sam Fisher: Lucky you I enjoy a good debate.

Snap! Crackle! 'n Pop!

Solid Snake: This is Snake. Do you read me, Otacon?

Otacon: Loud and clear, Snake. How are you doing?

Solid Snake: I'm in the Parcel Room heading towards the Warehouse. Probably 12 minutes behind our mystery agent. This guy is crazy. He's leaving behind a trail of bodies. And cereal bar wrappers?! I did manage to interrogate a guard. Tricked him with one of my girly mags. September Issue. Good stuff. Says they're transporting the Metal Gear tonight. I gotta get there before our cereal killer does. Snake out.

Sam Fisher is a master spy. It takes him less than 2 hours to infiltrate the Distribution Center, snapping every neck along the way. All that's left is a lone terrorist -- the pilot, in fact, of the Metal Gear.

Sam Fisher: I've killed hundreds of men. I've served my country well. I'm tired. I'm getting too old for this. But my country needs me. That's why I'm here. For the WMD. And you, monkey boy, are in my way!

Guard: Are you going to kill me?

Sam Fisher: Let's play a game...

While Fisher has his fun, Snake is hard at work preparing the charges. It took him a long while to get here. He's used up all his tranquilizers and girly magazines to get this far. But just when the most important part needs to be done, Solid Snake's OctoCamo fizzles out. The batteries has run dry. He materializes into plain view just as he was about to plant the explosives onto the Metal Gear. Right in front of a very angry Sam Fisher. No doubt about it -- he's gonna have to get his hands dirty with this one.
