Captain America vs Master Chief

The armor increases Chief's strength by 3x I believe. Chief without armor was able to dismantle trainers in exoskeletons that were 2 tonnors.

Also given his recent fight with John Steele, Cap's fighting skills won't be a major advantage over a stronger, arguably faster and more durable character

I'd say Chief wins, Cap's going to have a hard time hurting him, although he could potentially win with a few good shots with his shield, Chief isn't going to simply stand there and let Cap pound on him with the shield.

I'd actually give this match over to John more often than not. He's tactical enough to find his way around Steve's shield, and his natural luck (Extraordinary abilities are broken) should be good to mitigate the jobber aura.

You're right. I forgot Chief had his own brand of "plot armor" (mind you, not near as ridiculous). It appears my decision is made. It's definitely close, but Chief should take this.

So we are all in agreement that chief wins.

I'm going to support Cap. Fanboyish? Maybe. But if he can do as well as he's done against guys like Iron Man and Hulk, I don't think Master Chief is going to destroy him.

That's fine. I never said John takes this with ease anyway. They're similar archetypes, which makes pinning down a win a matter worth discussion. The adaptive shielding on the Mjolnir armor offers some incredible defense for John, not just from its ability to withstand damage, but by its full body protection. Steve's shield is out right the stronger of the two defensive objects, but it also has the disadvantages of being a traditional defensive shield: It covers a certain area.

Round One actually favors Steve more, I think. The building cuts down line of sight and makes his shield a lot better defensively. I see John capable of finding a method to flank him, but it's no easy task.

Round Two favors Master Chief, giving him plenty of room to get past Captain America's shield range. Does the shield have an active boomerang effect, or does Steve get back mainly through ricochet? If its the latter, throwing it won't be much of an option if he doesn't want to expose himself to John's gunfire.

But remember Chief has a lot of experience in fighting in close spaces

Cap's jobber aura is surpassed only by Batman's.

Anyway, without PIS, Chief wins.

He can only get it back through Ricochet, Xanatos.

That's good to know. So, with that in mind, I imagine Rogers will play out each round on opposite sides: Offensive in the building, where he has lots of angles to maximize his shield throw; Defensive out in the open.

I wonder if mc could catch caps shield

If he can swat missiles and tank shells, it doesn't seem unlikely that he is able. It's more of a question if he would.

He probably can. Don't remember the max velocity of Steve's throws, but I think John should be capable of doing so.

Oh my god mc with caps shield equals ****ing awesomeness. And if he catches it here Steve is screwed.

Definitely. The only thing left to consider would be John's likelihood of attempting it. I see him just dodging the shit, but I would LOVE to see him catch it!

Spoiler:
Kinda like Bucky did in the trailer for the new movie. THAT was badass enough!

Exactly my point. 👆

I'm sure there's fan art somewhere.

Yep

I think Cortana would point out how taking away Steve's weapon would be an advantage.
