Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher
Why the fight?
Simply put, they’re both getting on in years, they’re both sneaky fellas, and they’ve just been itching to have a go at one another for years now. It’s time to find out who the better agent is.
Vital Statistics:
Solid Snake
Height: 6ft
Weight:198lbs
Training: Expertly trained elite soldier, proficient in close quarters combat and trained in the use of multiple kinds of light and heavy weaponry including high yield explosives. Special training includes Green Beret, FOXHOUND and CIA training.
Misc: His real name is David, last name is unknown but aliases include “Iroquois Pliskin” and “Old Snake”. With an IQ of 180 and the ability to speak six different languages, Snake’s about as sharp as they come. Of Japanese and British descent, Snake is a clone currently suffering the effects of advanced cellular degradation borne of the “Les Enfants Terrible” genetic experiment, which was intended to create the perfect soldier by cloning the remains of the greatest soldier in history, “Big Boss.” Currently a member of the global anti-Metal Gear group known as Philanthropy, Snake was exposed to the FOXDIE virus during the Shadow Moses Incident.
Upcoming games: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Vital Statistics:
Sam Fisher
Height: 5ft 10 inches
Weight:170lbs
Training: Advanced weapons training, NSA (Third Echelon) training, CIA training, HAHO (High Altitude High Opening) HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) insertion training and Navy SEAL Team 3 special training.
Misc: His full name is Samuel Leo Fisher, but officially Sam Fisher is a ghost and does not exist. The first recruited member of the NSA’s Third Echelon group, Sam is adept at stealth and subterfuge, highly athletic and agile, he is an expert at breaking through defenses and executing a target with lethal efficiency. Much like Solid Snake, Sam was born and bred on the battlefield, having served in Afghanistan, Korea and Kuwait, and like Snake he is now alone in the world, as both his ex-wife and daughter are dead.
Upcoming games: Splinter Cell: Double Agent
The Outcome:
Snake’s got the reach, he’s also got the agility, Sam’s a sneaky guy and some would argue he’s got more moves than Snake does, he would also appear to be in better health than Snake presently, but his apparently unstable psychological condition negates this advantage. When it comes down to it, Solid Snake is faster, smarter and stronger than Sam Fisher. Sam is more than capable of tackling one or two opponents at a time and he can be a cold blooded killer, but once things start getting really ugly he usually can’t handle the heat. Snake has taken down tanks, helicopters, and even a cybernetic Ninja, I think that guarantees a win. As a result Snake wins.
