Suggested By Captain Epic
Been a while since Master Chief has had a fight!
For this battle Master Chief will be wielding a Energy Sword and an Assault Rifle, whilst Gambit has his staff and deck of cards. The fight will take place on the Halo 3 map Rat’s Nest and will have no weapons on the map.
Who wins?
Loading ...
First!!
Umm. I’ve read mc’s books, but imma need some of gambits feats before I point…is that stuff he did in x-men origins typical?
Hey admin. can I suggest matches here, or do have to pay??
Can gambit touch Chief to blow him up with his Shields protecting him?
media.comicvine.com/uploads/4/43704/863120-359_24_06_07_6_45_51_super.jpg
He would need to use his cards to take down Chief shields to do his instakill.
all gambit actualy needs to do is get close to mc and load his armor with a ton of energy and unleash it…
that´s of course not without danger …
but doable …
@spectre:
go to the battle request site
…
paying just means your request may posted faster … so not realy nessecary
So, he who attacks first wins?
MrTBSC
Thanks, will do. Didn’t really know, what with people requesting on the threads in older fights and whatnot.
“So, he who attacks first wins?”
so if both attack first draw?
honestly i don´t know much about both
but i can see gambit smashing through MC´s shield then blast his armor …
then only thing i don´t know his how his defenses are … can he tank stuff with his energy or is he simply the agile type like it would be typical for thiefs … especialy mutant ones …
and how much can MC tank stuff comic and novel wise?

Normal Gambit can bullet time from short range I’ve heard, so he might be able to avoid Chiefs weapons.

I should add that his armor was undamaged after that too.
Gambit is so awesome. He wins this with ease
===
@Darthgrim
go to the thing vs dd thread I have a question
*Sorry, got the scans backwards, but you should be able to tell whats happening*
So his armor can take six full blasts. The question is can Gambit’s mutant powers make that armor a full suited bomb?
Heres a feat for Hunters assault cannons
-
“One Hunter eased its fuel-rod cannon around the edge of its impenetrable shield, green energized rounds glowing with deadly radiation and fired. Fred jumped from cover, his MJOLNIR armor ablaze as if it was burning phosphorus. The Hunter hit him dead center in his chest, a blast that would have destroyed their dropship. His energy shields flared brighter, failed, and Fred crumpled to the floor, his armor smoking.”
Ghosts of Onyx
pg. 254
These are two of the coolest fictional characters…
But if gambit could install kill chief by physical contact, he’d have to be able to get to chief.
Chief has a sword and a gun.
If g could get to mc, he’d still have the sword to deal with. Not to mention getting past the assault rifle fire. But gambit from what I know is pretty agile.
And then there’s the battlefield. Chief would know it a lot better than gambit. Hmmmm
Good feats of Gambit’s agility:

Oh, and thanks for posting this Hitman!
@Captain Epic
Is it true Gambit can charge his cards to explode with as much kinetic energy as a grenade? I heard he could also heal wounds and stuff with his powers.
“@Captain Epic

I’m not sure how strong his card throw is. I’m also not sure about regenerative abilities. However I know that Gambit is capable of using his powers to increase his strength and reflexives.
Gambit can deflect bullets with his staff:

And here is another impressive Gambit feat:
media.comicvine.com/uploads/10/102836/2351145-cap_vs_gambit3.jpg
Does the map have power-ups?
From what I understand of Gambit’s mutation he can increase any human physical facet that he has past its limit. In this way he is superhuman when it comes to things like stamina, reflexes, concentration, accuracy and agility etcetera. I think it’s his bio-kineticism that allows him to do such a thing.
Hey, SgCombine. I did a little research and it is true from what I have read. His cards are like grenades. He can also transfer kinetic energy to his adamantium staff to level objects as large as houses. Nonetheless, longer charge times are needed to offset the use of larger objects by Gambit.
@capt epic
What’s that last feat from?
Gambits a fucking boss!
The Cajun wrecks him. Not only can he dodge bullets he can also blow up sentinels with a light touch. And if push comes to shove he can revert back to his Death form from his times as Apocalypse’s rider. But he has no control over this and this appears to happen when under a lot of stress.
“@capt epic

Avengers VS. X-Men Issue #2. Captain America won against Gambit. Alright I wish to make this match fair, so perhaps we should not allow Gambit to revert into his “Death” form. Can current incarnation Gambit even do that??
This is ridiculous. Do you even recognize the physics behind Gambit? Putting a walking talking mega energy converter against a twobit super soldier? I refuse to even… *sigh*. Another MC fail match.
Gambit converts potential energy into kinetic energy. That’s it. That being said, yes, he could turn the Mjolnir IV or whatever suit he is in now into a walking bomb. Conversely, he can and will casually bullet time at close range. MC can tank all the damage he wants, but when his suit is the weapon….
It helps that Gambit will always get the girl. media.comicvine.com/uploads/9/99828/2075779-rg.jpg
Hmm, I figured it’d end in a stomp, its Marvel…

off topic anyone who wants to look at Sephiroth vs Harry Dresden more input would be helpful
Well this is an….interesting fight…
I love Gambit to death, so initial bets on him.
“Hmm, I figured it’d end in a stomp, its Marvel…”
-
Isn’t really a stomp. Master Chief just needs some more support. “ZoM-B” kind of blew this match out of proportion. Gambit isn’t much of a bullet timer, he can deflect bullets but an Assault Rifle would most likely overwhelm him. Gambit was KO’d by a punch from Captain America. Master Chief could very well win this match. It’s just nearly every comment has been Pro-Gambit.
“Gambit was KO’d by a punch from Captain America. Master Chief could very well win this match.”
-
MC is no Captain America though. Cap is stronger, faster, more agile, more skilled and is himself a bullet timer hence why he beat MC.
I don’t think Captain America is stronger. Chief’s armor increases his strength. Master Chief has amazing accuarcy. So he can keep Gambit away with his Assualt Rifle. Master Chief, as seen in Halo Legends, is also pretty skilled with an Energy Sword. So he can do alright in H2H. Just because Master Chief hasn’t appeared in awhile doesn’t mean we should sell him short.
What i’m seeing here is that everyone thinks that Gambit is just going to reach up and touch MC, as if it would be nothing. No one brought up the fact that the energy shield stops everything and is always on. So if Gambit did get close enough to the Chief with out taking out his shields then he would run into an energy barrier that he cant blow up. Then, since he is in punching distance MC would literally punch a hole in Gambit’s head.
I think he wins due to his ability to turn any thing into an explosive. if he stuns MC for a few minutes then he may get a chance to charge the armor but he probably wouldn’t need that.
Master Chief with cortanna has a reaction time of 20 milli seconds. According to halo glass lands. Can gambit even move that fast? Next his strength feats. He can lift 2 tons and punch holes straight through an elites skull with shields up leavin a dent in the wall behind him. In halo 3 chief is shown to punch a hole in the steel of the forward unto dawn which held him in place from espaceing a high velocities. Pretty deep hole to do that if you ask me.
-
Please explain how captain America is stronger or faster?
“with cortanna”
-
Cortanna is considered outside help. Master Chief doesn’t get help from another character for most of his fights.
-
“Please explain how captain America is stronger or faster?”

No one wants to sum up an entire match. If you really wish to know, please take your questions to the Captain America vs. Master Chief thread, not this one.
“In halo 3 chief is shown to punch a hole in the steel of the forward unto dawn which held him in place from espaceing a high velocities.”

Was this on the level ‘Cortanna’. I can’t remember that part of the game, it has been a long time since I have played through Halo 3. If you could link a youtube video, that would be helpful.

Cap can force open rocket silo doors, resist the launch pressure of said rocket, and sees and reacts faster then bullets move.
@Epic

It’s after the Ark is destroyed and they are escaping, he survives falling into space by punching a hole in the floor for grip. Also it’s quite likely that the material wasn’t steel, ships were made of Titanium-A, which is far stronger.
-
Cortana increases his reaction times with her super brain that can tell him exactly when to move and such (dodging the missile in TFoR). She doesn’t actually change his speed, only allows him to use it more precisely.
Ok sorry for the cap questions. Without cortanna he was seen in training to dodge automatic weapon fire.
post 39 sealed the deal for me
so
+1FPA for gambit …
… but just out of curiosity … any feats were he deflected plasma or laser closequarter weaponry with his energy or energy fueled staff?
Seriously, guys, no way can MC land a bullet.
media.comicvine.com/uploads/4/43704/916885-04_super.jpg
I show you this because despite the lack of powers for any mutant, Gambit is balancing a combat knife. So even without his ability, his agility is still fantastic.
Pre brain surgery Gambit could catch knives and toss them back.

That’s casual, right there. MC might have to worry about his own projectiles before his own. It doesn’t assist MC that Gambit doesn’t even need physical contact anymore, if I’m not mistaken, and he exploded a person’s arm, so organic matter isn’t safe either.

You are correct he exploded Daken’s arm.
Well, if he doesn’t need contact any more Gambit roflstomps.
Crap… I’m sorry guys. I really thought this was an even match. When I pitched this match on the forums people thought MC would win. Again sorry, I really try to create good matches. But everyone has a slip up every now and then.

Doesn’t look like a normal bullet, in fact its much larger and is about the size of his palm. Can’t know if it was the same speed of a regular sized bullet. It’s also easier to catch if it is that large.

imageshack.us/f/161/gambitv102415rougher6hm.jpg/

This seems like a special occurrence where he maybe tapped into his powers and unleashed an abnormally strong blast that perhaps charged air particles. Does he do this often know with the same amount of force+speed?

It was pretty even until we learned that Gambit apparently doesn’t need to make contact with something to blow it up anymore (a scan showing this would be appreciated).
Adding two grenades, two plasma grenades, and a plasma rifle to Master Chief’s loadout.
Well that was voided… by one post. Not my luck today.
“Gambit being able to blow up people now seems pretty OP to me though….. any evidence?”
-
Didn’t know he could blow up people. Pretty sure in his fight vs Cap it was brought up that he can charge organics. Then he blew up apart of cap’s armor instead.
And then Cap got right back up like it was nothing. My theory is Cap’s armor protected him alot and Gambit wasn’t trying to kill. Just to give some thoughts on that fight.
“And then Cap got right back up like it was nothing. My theory is Cap’s armor protected him alot and Gambit wasn’t trying to kill.”
-
I think it was just a retort to what cap said rather then an attempt to kill, I don’t think any of them were trying to kill each other. I believe Gambit’s come back was something like “those scales didn’t come from no fish” or something.
I apologize, but arm explosion is a little too much for somme people, but at the end of this scan you can see an organic being charged.

“I think it was just a retort to what cap said rather then an attempt to kill, I don’t think any of them were trying to kill each other. I believe Gambit’s come back was something like “those scales didn’t come from no fish” or something”
-
You are right. But Gambit was trying to end the fight. After the explosion Gambit said something along the lines of, “One living legend down for the count”. He then went on to swear because he thought he had defeated Cap.
It doesn’t seem like MC is receiving much attention, and I can’t help but wonder if people have a bias for Gambit. People have brought up Gambit dodging bullets and deflecting them, but MC can, too. His RT is 20 ms without Cortana.
-
I would be inclined to say physical strength, speed, and durability are in MC’s favor, while Gambit has agility in his. If I recall correctly, MC is capable of running 30 mph, although he pushed himself 64.9 mph, but ripping a tendon in the process.
-
While both have improved RT, this really doesn’t help either character in that it pretty much cancels it out for both. It would be like two characters with ns RT. Sure, they can watch light travel, and it would appear very slow to them, but when fighting each other, it’s just going to be as if you were fighting someone. Both you and your opponent can react to each other.
Now one thing a lot of people are missing is … Gambit is a Master Thief … Stealth is also one of his strong points … Now I do believe MC has heat vision or something like that … but if Gambit charges enough of an area without MC seeing Gambit … Hell hes charged a moving subway car before … If MC doesnt know where Gambits at … Charge a building , lure MC into it … Boom … thatll distract him long enough to touch his helmet and …. well … You get my point
MC has been training since he was a young boy. Stealth was one of the things he was trained in. I don’t see the Master Thief getting the drop on the Master Chief! Get it?!
“I apologize, but arm explosion is a little too much for somme people, but at the end of this scan you can see an organic being charged.”
-
Couldn’t that have been charging the clothes around him to explode like he did with cap? Except more powerful.
It’s mentioned here and here

….. Is it like a recent ability that he can charge organics or something? I thought AvX was pretty recent?
“I thought AvX was pretty recent?”

It is. And Gambit himself pretty much said he couldn’t charge organics.
I apologize, it appears a recent turn of events has rendered Gambit unable to charge organics or charge sans contact. It looks like he was nerfed to prevent soloing the rest of the universe…. >.>
Sorry for double post.
It isn’t even that recent. I just haven’t been ordering the books as much as I should. Someone called New Son beat the shit out of him.
Does Gambit need physical contact to charge the particles? Or is that a mess up also?
Not to make it sound bad.

-
“This seems like a special occurrence where he maybe tapped into his powers and unleashed an abnormally strong blast that perhaps charged air particles. Does he do this often know with the same amount of force+speed?”

No he doesn’t do this often. He was fighting his Alternate Reality self who is what he will become with time.
-
Anyway Gambit is an Omega Level mutant thus he stomps the chief. No weapon you can give him is going to help him at all unless its a nuke or something.
Do we really know if Gambit can blow up everything?
Kinetic energy is energy of movement. And chiefs armor prolly has advanced energy distribution and dampening abilities. Didn’t he fall from orbit once?
“Do we really know if Gambit can blow up everything?”

Yes, Gambit has shown on numerous occasions that he can charge items with energy. That is his mutant ability. Charging stuff with energy… Then blowing stuff up.
-
“Didn’t he fall from orbit once?”

Yes.

“And chiefs armor prolly has advanced energy distribution and dampening abilities.”

Grenades are able to down Chief’s shields, I see no reason why a playing card(s) from Gambit wouldn’t do the trick.

You’re saying Gambit wins but you’re not proving how he wins.

Gambit could have easily blown up the cloth+glove or whatever he was wearing on his arm. It’s kind of weird if he just got a new ability out of nowhere with no explanation for it.
-
“Did you see the size of the barrel it was fired from?”
Looks like it’s near the size of the girl’s head, the barrel opening about the size of her nose which is a rather large bullet.
-
“No he doesn’t do this often. He was fighting his Alternate Reality self who is what he will become with time.”
Then the feat is pretty much useless.
-
Being an Omega level mutant doesn’t mean he stomps MC. That doesn’t count as proof. It’s as good as me saying MC beats Gambit because he’s Master Chief.

Gameplay aspects of Halo shouldn’t really count. In the Alcatraz vs MC thread, there are plenty of arguments saying that MC’s shields can take anywhere from less than 10 MJ to 30 MJ before going out.
-
Grenade force:
answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090911051703AAazjAr
-
So that could amount to a maximum of 2 MJ assuming Gambit’s playing cards are stronger than a TNT grenade.
-
Taking that into account and using MC’s lowest shield feat of 8-10 MJ, Gambit would need 4-5 cards to hit MC to take out his shields. Another 1 or 2 to kill MC before the shields recharge. Lowest amount of cards needed would be 5 playing cards that are stronger than a 500 grams of TNT (An M67 grenade has a filling weight of 180 grams:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M67_grenade
with an explosive compound called Composition B which is 40% TNT, don’t know if it’s stronger or weaker than 180 grams of TNT: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_B). MC on the other hand would probably need 1 well aimed shot from his full auto AR to kill Gambit.
whats gambits exact ability? does he charge objects with energy? if so anything MC shoots at him will be under his contorl right due to kinectic energy?
Nice job, Tarbel. It’s not quite clear if Daken’s fist had inorganic material, but I was thinking the same thing earlier today.
Can’t Gambit charge his staff like his card and pour energy into it for melee? If so then couldn’t he just amp it enough to do some serious damage even to MC’s shield?
@Proto-Mind
Thanks

@Iron Lowk
I was thinking about that also. It’d be pretty nice to have some feats on the use of that staff.

I’m thinking it could take out MC’s shields with one well charged swing.

Looking through his feats, Couldn’t Gambit just saturate the area around Chief with a whole lot of cards at once? I mean I’m pretty sure chief could likely dodge them coming but if his surroundings are all highly explosive card bombs, wouldn’t that be enough to take down his shields?
I can’t find a picture online, and possess no means of uploading it myself (plus it’s not in english), but I’m sitting with a comic book where Gambit charges up a human-sized marble statue and hurls it (?!?) at a group of pursuers.
It’s easily a building-busting feat, possibly more. The narrator also implies (at least that’s how I’m reading it), that the reason he never does this is out of preference, and he shows no signs of fatigue or anything afterward. Time scale is hard to judge, could be anywhere from a second to a minute.
Aha! Found in my collection a tidbit… Apparently Professor X fully believes Gambit could charge the Earth. I leave the rest to you guys.
what the hell…this matchup is so unfair…MasterChef would kill him so fast…. even without MJOLNIR armour on…. he could be naked with just a knife and take down Gambit….. he had 25 years plus of training… not gambling

@NKB
Is that a standard form for Gambit to fall back on, to be sure?(Not in this match necessarily, but in general!)
Also you spelled Master Chief wrong, you said Master Chef, if that was a Total Drama Island joke it was too hidden by the foolish comment.
@Admiral
Master Chef would be awesome.
“Looking through his feats, Couldn’t Gambit just saturate the area around Chief with a whole lot of cards at once? I mean I’m pretty sure chief could likely dodge them coming but if his surroundings are all highly explosive card bombs, wouldn’t that be enough to take down his shields?”
-
Would Gambit be willing to do that in face of Chief’s full auto rifle? But Gambit’s cards are rather powerful if just 4 of his cards can blast open the side of a building, although there could have been some other reaction that helped blow it. It probably does depend on the charge time too, but Gambit probably held those cards for about only 0.5 – 1.5 seconds.
Multiple (assumed to be 2 MJ) cards should be able to take out Chief’s shields if there are more than 5 cards within 2 feet of him (Based on my calculations in my last post).
How much his armor can take, I’m not sure. In the novel, I believe it is easily bulletproof, impervious to all small arms fire, while rifle rounds would probably do some impact damage to the wearer but not do too much lasting damage to the actual armor. With this in mind, MC might be able to tank 2 of Gambit’s cards tops w/o his shields up, depending on where it hits as well, one more and he should be out.

Then again, since Gambit is only throwing the cards, MC could dodge them quite handily since he even saw gravity as slow ever since his augmentation:

Gambit can charge up more then cards … Each card he charges is equivalent to a grenade … and its been shown a grenade can take down MCs shields … But if Gambit wanted to he could charge up anything in the battlefield given enough time … Even a building
“Would Gambit be willing to do that in face of Chief’s full auto rifle?”

Well the dodging feats showed he charge a lot of them while avoiding fire at the same time

Also wouldn’t charging the whole deck while dodging would be fairly easy way of getting an attack ready for when he has an opening.

Decks iirc have 52 cards? Since all he has to do is get it close to him rather then hitting him that’s a lot of explosions that could be happening to chief at once. So Gambit would have to hit Cheif so much as he would only need to get a few near him.
Forgot, Gambit carries extra decks so he should have more then 52 card.
does gambit still carry throwing daggers?

O.O Hivemind?

lol
^ nah it was due to over exposure to …. the factpile-zone [insert wierd cheesy music]
@Darthgrim
For our sake, please be wrong on the Hivemind idea, because barring the Vajra of Macross, the Tyranids of 40K, the Vord of Codex Alera and the DarkSpawn of Dragon Age, I don’t think factpile can afford another actual hivemind right about now to contend with! T_T
@NKB
Not…the factpile-zone!!!!!

For this match Gambit is only armed with his cards and staff.

I… I don’t follow
He can also charge up his bo staff with enough energy to level a building when slammed in to said building
Do you have any scans of that?
