This shit would be ridiculous by 40k standards.

>>54273748
This is actually the one interesting statting scenario. This character is a hunter like the rest who can use guns, yes, but will separate into a bit that runs around and a stationary turret using his health. Not common stuff in any kind of game and hard to stat.

The metroid universe has some completely whack tech and evolution on steroids. I always remember the type of war wasp in Prime that fires a stinger that can shear through steel and the fact that basic animals require more than one shot from military grade directed energy weapons to kill.

To think that of all the crazy weapons in Hunters, the one everyone rushes to get in multiplayer has "a lethal & thin laser" describing it. No nuclear power source, no sub-zero shit, just "it's a laser". The Kriken Empire must be some deadly fuckers.

>>54279088
OK maybe he gets some kind of sick sexual thrill from dressing up as a geemer and they decided to say he was out there fighting as a cover-up.

>>54278775
Yeah X parasites would do terrible terrible things to the 40K universe. Ironically a setting with lower-density space civilizations and lower-frequency of travel would stand the best chance against them. X in 40k is like a flu in Beijing.

>>54279513
X, Phazon, And metroids themselves are all really really high tier threats. especially when transplanted into other scifi universes

>>54279583
I actually don't agree. Metroids aren't nearly as dangerous as X and neither is phazon. They just happen to counter it.

>>54282467
Orks?

>>54282467
In the later evolutions, they lost the cold weakness. Then Fusion came & the Omega Metroids had to be killed by Ice Beam alone & not Super Missile spam.

>>54283618
The weird thing about Omega Metroids was that they were vulnerable to Ice Beam but not Ice Missiles.

>>54282467
They're not impossible to kill without freezing, they just require Samus's heaviest firepower like Super Missiles and Power Bombs.

>>54283618
>>54283890
It wasn't just the Ice Beam. It was a combination of the Ice, Plasma (passes through multiple enemies) and Wave (passes through walls) Beams used to attack their internal organs.

>>54282482
How?

>>54275983
Weevil isn't much like Samus beyond the arm cannon, really.

His legs turn into a gun.

>>54284148
That doesn't explain much. Samus had access to several of those items previous. Next, Diffusion Missiles should be at least as strong as Super Missiles.

>>54279260
The real question is why we haven't seen more Kriken in the series
They LOOK like bad guys. Like, big bad type guys.
Yet they have ONE appearance.

>>54286611
Maybe in Metroid Prime 4.

>>54284294
They will find a way..Or just lead there guns with peaces of ice

>>54279260
I've always imagined that Kriken scientists are crazy fuckers who just make crazy shit work somehow against all odds and logic, even if they have to go through several annihilations of Kriken colonized planets to accomplish that.

I mean, there has to be a very good reason why the Kriken rite of passage is "find us a fucking nice planet we can settle down on. Or at least some good technology, that shit's acceptable too".

>>54286753
It's more "Find us a good place to invade" & Trace thought that a WMD would do just fine. It's like how the Saiyans love sending babies.

>>54286611
well given his stealth technology, who's to say that entire species doesn't have a fetish for stealth
say their colonies look like uninhabited planets because they're all underground, their warships are equipped with cloaking fields strong enough nobody notices them until they start blasting shit and they've gotten very good at disguising their raids as natural disasters/space pirate incursions

metroid universe is crazy enough an entirely invisible empire is not out of place

>>54287036
That would be some scary stuff. Imagine them quietly and invisibly burrowing deep beneath planets before the invasion phase. Then when they start the invasion, the entire planet gets overwhelmed from both sides by subterranean attackers and orbital attackers.

>>54287147
The DEldar suddenly feel butthurt & it's not because of Slaanesh's penis. It's envy.

>>54287147
not to mention they'd probably be damn good at blocking signals so suddenly all communications die as well, the entire thing is perfectly coordinated (insect race and what not) and a couple of hours later, when the federation sends someone over to investigate just why the comms blacked out they've long since left that place and made it look like a freak asteroid hit it

So have we found an ass that rivals Samus yet?

Have we ever figured out who's this guy?

I wish we could have them come back at some point. Well, some of them at least. We know Spire or Noxus most probably will never come back (Gorea's power was their sole motivation) and while Trace's race is known to spread around and enslave many planets, I don't see how that could make for a nice Metroid plot point. Same for Kanden, that guy is a power-hungry freak, he does make for a good villain but not something on the scale as Metroid.
Remain Sylux and Weavel.
Sylux is probably the most fan-discussed and theorized hunter in the whole franchise through his hatred for the Galactic Federation and Samus by association. In fact, the producer of the Metroid Prime series said the ship in MP3's secret ending WAS Sylux's ship and that he would like to bring the character back so it's clear that Sylux 'will' return at some point.
As for Weavel, being an augmented Space Pirate and probably the last of his kind if he survived until Fusion, there are lots of reasons he could come back as well.

Sylux is pretty much guaranteed to be back for Prime 4. He had a cameo at the end of Corruption following Samus in his ship and at the end of Federation Force breaking into a federation facility to steal a baby metroid.

>>54314236
Plus for Weavel it's personal

Benevolence has no bearing in the Warp. Why do you think the Chozo ghosts who come back are so hateful of the living?

>>54314236
Spire's just out to find his lost race. His people's disappearance can be anywhere from deliberately leaving, ascending like Chozo or fucking Tyranid equivalents ate them. There could be anything about him.

Noxus is kinda like a space cop or superhero & only aimed for the Ultimate Power for peacekeeping & preventing assholes from getting it.

Samus had also lost her outer armor and acquired a weakness to SA-X's main weakness directly prior to the mission she fought it. Those events are directly connected even.
So I'm not saying you're wrong, but it isn't as simple as what you're saying.

It also has nothing to do with the Chozo, they even tried sealing it away when it appeared.

And of course, in my haste to correct a typo, I make another one.

>>54320831
Compared to Meta Ridley knocking her so hard she lost her Varia suit, MP3's Dark Samus being hopelessly stronger than her for most of the game & phazon shit being super corruptive, I say SA-X has some competition.

SA-X also has Samus' strongest abilities. I guess she can hyperbeam like super metroid.

No, no, it's not that the Chozo were corrupted by Tzeentch.

Think about it. They look like birds, they're masters of magic and science and other esoteric knowledge, they're proud of their works and strive to create new wonders, they make elaborate far-reaching plans for the future, and they collectively ascended to a higher consciousness.

That's right. The Chozo are to Tzeentch what the Eldar are to Slaanesh.

Have you seen the Galactic Federation? I wouldn't tell those fuckers anything with how they go about "researching" new lifeforms. They knew how dangerous the X were and still wanted to weaponize them.

>>54353199
>I wouldn't tell those fuckers anything with how they go about "researching" new lifeforms.
I also wouldn't make new highly dangerous and easily exploitable life forms for them to encounter.

I'd just blow up the problem before it becomes a problem. Sort of like what you end up doing in Metroid II and later in Metroid IV.

>>54346767
Self destruct sequence at the end tho.

>>54353311
Samus contract X-parasite /near/ SR-388, not on it.

>>54353588
In the opening cutscene she gets infested by one while on the planet protecting the researchers (she shoots a creature and an X-parasite comes ouf ot it and infects her). However, the effect of the infection only manifest when she's back on her ship, causing her to black out and crash the ship and get taken to the GF hospital where they inject her with Metroid DNA to save her.

If Samus is a female Primarch, what does that say about everyone else?

>>54353623
>>54353627
Huh. Did the GF secure any samples?
Or was SA-X /all/ of them?

>>54353311
Ironically, the ecosystem of SR-388 was worth protecting. And the Metroids only became out of control because Motherbrain betrayed the Chozo before they could program in restraints.

>>54354765

We don't know exactly how much of SR-388's biosphere was really X Parasites in disguise by the time Samus escorted that team to the surface. Could be as little as just that one Hornoad to as much as every animal on the planet. It's kind of a moot point, since the X wound up infecting every animal on the station and Samus destroyed the planet in the end, anyway.

What we do know is that the SA-X only came into being once an X came in contact with Samus and stole her DNA. From there it seems it was acting as its own entity--there wasn't any demonstrable hive mind going on or anything.

>>54355055
Well, the Thing sure didn't have a hive mind.
And X are explicitly riffing it.

>>54355055
Reminder that the SA-X has all of Samus' best abilities yet doesn't have the X-Ray visor.

>>54355177
They seem to be able to communicate or mutually agree on things.

So many times in gameplay the SA-X could have found Samus if it had the x-ray visor.

>>54350092
Then who made Khorne & Nurgle?

>>54354652
Horus probably hated her. Russ probably tussled with her but respected her as a warrior.

Dadperor probably had a lot of questions about her bird dads.

>>54352395
You don't get to be a great precursor race if you don't create at least one biological mechanism of war and ruin everything for the young races forever, be it by mistake or design.

>>54360179
The chozo could have created knorne too, they had to modify themselves to physically feel pain and dedicate their entire culture to peaceful ways, JUST to stop being their warrior ways. Only then they discovered spirituality and gained the gift of premonitions.

Phazon literally drives them bug-fuck insane. In fact, in large enough pools, the stuff can be heard LAUGHING at Samus. Phazon is eldritch as all hell, and it'speaks no surprise that it could fuck with even the Chozo.

I just want to remind everyone here that the X presumably escaped by disguising themselves as those cute lemur and bird-like creatures you encounter over the game, before blasting off as everything was exploding. Those Etecoons and Dachoras are going to be the death of everyone.

>>54361528
I thought Adam already checked them & figured out that the X avoided them because they didn't give enough of a shit about them.

>>54361413

Only because Samus had access to a weapon -specifically- designed to damage it, and Gorea was also sealed and prevented from using it's shapeshifting abilities. If it was unbound, there would be nothing that could stop it.

It took all sorts of Phazon attacks to even scratch Metroid Prime's insides, go through Dark Samus' shields or even stand a chance against Dark Samus on Phazee. Goera can be defeated without the Omega Cannon though you get the bad ending.

>>54362863

"Defeated" no bitch, thats why you get the bad ending, you didn't defeat it. Itll come back.

>>54362986
In the bad ending, it's shown squirming as the place exploded. Besides everyone dying, it's just like the good end.

>>54362863
One of those entities plotted to infect a couple planets and failed.

The other acquired the form of its enemies and consumed them and their galactic-spanning empire before being sealed with all their remaining psionic energy.

>>54363410
Phazon actually succeed in planting Leviathan seeds everywhere. This includes corrupting stuff in the Dark Aether, another dimension.

>>54363091
It'seems the " bad ending" because it's still ALIVE. What you don'the seem to get is that in the bad ending Samus manages to beat Gorea yes, but it survived, and now with the seal binding it into the bastardized form of the Alimbics, it's free to screw over the entire galaxy, maybe even the universe. Gorea was a being that wiped out a race that was on par with the Chozo themselves, the only reason Samus could even harm it was because it was trapped and heavily weakened. It unbound would spell doom for pretty much everyone.

>>54363486
No, that form doesn't even show up. It's the bad ending because Samus and the others all die in a fiery explosion.

>>54362587
Probably wouldn't have been that bad. The thing that makes X parasites so insidiously dangerous is their ability to perfectly mimic other organisms, right down to copying their intellect, which allows them to form complex plans. Phazon wildly mutates anything exposed to it into a larger, more dangerous lifeform, usually driving it insane in the process. If they combines, the X-Phazon parasites would be bigger and deadlier in a straight fight, but they wouldn't be able to mimic other lifeforms so perfectly and they wouldn't have the intelligence to be a galactic threat.

>>54366599

If they perfectly mimic a social species that practices a degree of altruism and teamwork as a survival and dominance strategy (like humans), why don't the X parasites ever go "oh hey, I'd actually do a lot better if I wasn't an asshole" and then not be an asshole?

>>54367175
Because Phazon doesn't need to NOT be an asshole. It chucks giant magic murder meteors at planets and then just pumps out more Phazon until everything is Phazon.

>>54366599
Some forms of Phazon are able to keep their shit together. Dark Samus is one exceptional case.

>>54367354
>phazon

Read what you were replying to again, Anon.

>>54367175
The X appear to practice altruism and teamwork...Among themselves. They tried to blow up the BSL station to kill Samus, and before she get the varia suit the freezing X do kamikaze attacks on her, letting Samus absorb them to take damage from the cold.

They'd have absolutely no reason to practice altruism with other species, however, when they can just make everything into their own species by copying and infecting all organisms.

>>54367644
I liked that the first time you encounter the frozen X after getting the suit the still try to kamikaze you, it's only after they see it no longer works that they start avoiding you.
At least, I think they did that. It's been long enough I'm not entirely sure if that happened or if my memory is making shit up.
