Round 2! Max Payne vs. Sub Zero

Good arguements... Better than any other.. Sorry Titus.

A) Ice Clone would be used multiple times, like a shield.

B) Polar Blast is not a solid wave of ice that Max can dodge. It surrounds all enemies and freezes them. No fancy footwork or showing down the battle speed won't save him from being frozen.

C) Super Slide is another power that S-Z could use. In seconds he could be tearing Payne apart.

SZ doesn't have any attacks that automatically hit, threfore Max would not automatically get hit with Polar Blast.. Anyway, he would be so busy creating multiple Ice Clones to block the barrage of bullets flying toward him that he wouldn't be able to perform any other attack. SZ only chance is for a close combat fight, and no silly looking slide attack would ever land..

Ah. Sub-Zero could not win on a level playing field. Wait... Isn't this place like a labyrinth? Couldn't he just run? Stage ambushes? He IS a ninja afterall. Stealth can be his ally. No ammount of fire power will save Max if Sub-Zero is waiting for him to step somewhere and he does. Then, BAM! Down Max goes.

[I]Max walks around the corridors looking for his opponent. He can't decide whether to go up the ladder, or through the corridors to the right.

LADDER:
He starts to climb up the ladder. Sub-Zero freezes him while Max while he is climbing and therefor unable to fire accurately.

CORRIDORS:
He begins to walk down the corridors. Sub-Zero is above him, and sends down hits him with Polar Blast. Crashes down and knocks off Max's head.

Max can't compete with stealth ninjas. Just no way. This place is a ninja's dream.

Or a ninja's nightmare, since right side up isn't exactly true here. He could be trying to be super stealthy, but not realize Max is walking right on top of him, upsidedown, not constrained by the laws of gravity. This world is so warped, that I'd think stealth would almost be negated..

Max, however, could easily use the warped world to his advantage. Bullet-time, shoot off many rounds in the air, while leaping upsidedown, then rolling in a seemingly invulnerable location that would cause SZ to become extremely dizzy.. In real time, this world would make anyone confused and nausiated to say the least. In bullet-time, each movement could easily be seen and made without such consequences.

This half real-time, half bullet-time battle would go to Max.

Why whould any of this help Max? Why not Sub-Zero? Gravity could turn upside down on Max. You can't just say this will hurt SZ. It can hurt both of them. It could help Sub-Zero. It's unpredictable.

But...I'm tired of this fight. I never liked either of these characters. So...I may post again, or I may not.

If you would have read my post you would clearly see why it would help Max, and Max alone. Bullet-time. If you can slow down time, you can much easily see and predict the contorsion of the warped world. Period. Max wins. kthxdie.

Meh. I don't feel like arguing to help save SZ's sorry ass. Let him rot.
