Epic video: Master Chief vs Samus
There's nothing that gets fanboys in a tizzy quite like fictional battles between our favorite characters. If there is one battle royale that was destined to happen, it must be the Master Chief vs. Samus Aran, Nintendo's famous intergalactic bounty hunter. We're just going to come right out and say it: the video embedded above, created by Monty Oum, is epic. It is fan made cinema on a grand scale. There are a few liberties taken with the Halo canon, but we can live with it for work this good. We're not going to spoil the surprise ending, so you'd best watch it yourself. If anything, this proves one thing: Master Chief belongs in Smash Bros (it proves some other more ... stimulating things as well, but that would be spoiling it).
Check out the video and let your opinion be known.

30. All these people saying Master Chief isn't a girl need to quite down. In the Halo universe, there are many spartans both male and female. The one you happen to play as in the videogames is a male. And also, give this guy his props man. So what he ripped some stuff off the matrix, but he still had to animate and create everything himself. Big props man, excelent work.

31. This was taken directly from the gametrailers.com page:
"Internet: WHYYYYYY did you make Master chief a girl!?!?!? Master chief’s not a girl?!?!?! WHAT TEH HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU FAG?!?!?!
Me: In the Halo story according to the books there were actually 32 Spartan soldiers, including women. If you look closely you can actually see the number 458 on the "Master Chick's" suit. 458 being the number of the Spartan that made a Cameo in the Dead or Alive series. Not much thinking went into it further than that though. Plus hot lesbians are awesome."

34. Wow. The comments on here are almost entirely opposite to those on Kotaku. On Kotaku, the vast majority of comments say that the video is lame, and I have to agree with them. I mean, almost every action sequence in the video is taken from something else, Master Chief is acting like someone from Kung Fu Hustle, and the ending is pure fan service. I respect the work and the time that went into making it, but it's still a generally stupid video.

35. The title of the vid is "Haloid". Master Chief is only mentioned here under the topic title at this site.
And what's with the negative comments? Can you do better? I sure can't,but I appreciate it for what it is,a very creative,artistic,ORIGINAL idea that will appeal to fans of Halo,Metroid,The Matrix and Star Wars.
It was very entertaining,very well done and I'd like to see more.

36. LOL @20
not that good in terms of originality and the musical score aint that great just because of the song at the end.
too matrix like.

37. WTF. I only noticed like...3 scenes from the Matrix and the Burly Brawl music. I don't remember an awesome shotgun pwnage scene in the Matrix. I also don't remember Samus being in the Matrix and using all of her abilities. Nor do I remember using Covenant shields to ricochet bullets in the Matrix.
The video is awesome. Hell, if it was an exact recreation of the Burly Brawl with Samus fighting 300 Spartans (they can be Master Chiefs or the 300 Spartans from 300, whatever), it'd still be awesome.

38. What's the name of the song played in the credits? It sounds like a video game theme but I'm not sure which?

39. Nice movie 1 problem though: MC Is not a GIRL! For three reasons: 1. he doesnt have the right build 2. Doesnt talk like a girl in the games 3. doesnt behave like a girl in trailers or games. And if it was a girl, it wouldnt be Asian.
Anyway nice movie and thanks for sharing.
P.S. MC does belong in Smash Bros. :)

40. Some cool stuff up until Samus came, and then it went downhill from there. Only fanboys would like that stuff, the ending was dumb.
