Boy, why are you just STANDING THERE?

Heh. It's not your day sammy boy

Real talk

Why is Sam so much cooler in every capacity to Raiden

Raiden is just some pissy ass bitch boy compared to how fucking cool Sam is and how fucking cool Sam's moveset is

hot scruffy Brazilian/Japanese daddy that smiles a lot

Why is the barely enhanced human trope rivaling gods so fucking good

Because everyone loves an Underdog.

Because Sam is a human in armor (barring his cybernetic arm, but he was still really good with his original) while Raiden is totally cybernetic from the roof of his mouth down, and yet Sam fucks him up pretty bad despite this.

Also Sam was a total Platinum character in his design and execution. Raiden is about 60-70% Platinum and 30-40% Metal Gear so while he was unique he lacked some depth (and honestly the weapons he gets don't fix that in full). Sam has a lot more going on and is simultaneously more difficult to use.

Oh, and he's very handsome.

>in MG world, characters like big boss and snake are the pinacle of human combatant.
>Except for Sam who is basically the setting dante.

Post more suave, rugged supporting boys. The ones worth posting.

Everything about Sam was great
>badlands showdown
>doesn't even have a long speech
>just goes straight to the fight

Well, the simple explanation is that A) Sam wasn't alive/adult when they were doing their thing so that was true at the time, and B) Perhaps Sam is just very, very good with using the advanced technology at his disposal and maybe wouldn't be as good as the Snakes with just his fists, or even with guns. He's a swordsman.

>Why is Sam so much cooler in every capacity to Raiden
Why do you think they call him Minuano, the cool Brazilian wind?

My name is Sam and my younger brother is Jack, we both adored this rivalry and that fight

Please don't post pictures of my husband, thanks.

While his fight didnt have much gimmicks, I really love how straight forward the fight is, as in there are multiple ways to finish the fight before the last qte when you're about to finish him off. Compare this to Mistral with her changing locations 3 times, and having to dodge her balls, Monsoon's lorentz force bullshit, Sundowner's shields, and Armstrong's over drawn multiphase battle.

MEMORIES BROKEN

Most Rivals are like that. Only possible exception is Vergil

I loved Mistral{s battle. The balls were annoying but switching locations made it really dynamic. I wish there had been a few more qte's or animations in Sam's fight, but it's still pretty great.

Raiden is cool, this is way they made Sam so cool.

Well, Dante is the coolest, craziest motherfucker in the world, so having his foil be calm, calculated, and a tad snooty was the right move.

Also Devil Hand guy from God Hand doesn't have shit on Gene.

It was said he was an awesome swordsman even before cyborg technology became available, based on the stories spreading through criminal underworld of South America. He apparently once took down a hit squad of 10 men with automatic weapons.

Does the stylish action genre have a monopoly on good rivals or is it just Platinum?

Because hes influenced by RK

>Vergil
>Jeanne
>Sam
>Azel
>Henry
>Yasha
I'd say it's a staple of the genre overall, since a rivals enhance the protagonist's character by a lot. Part of the reason why Ryu Hayabusa is much less popular than Dante and Bayonetta

Vergil alone proves it's more of a genre thing than a developer thing.

>tfw no I'm My Own Master Now Sup Forums sings

Guess we'll have to make it ourselves.

Rurouni Kenshin was shit.

Watch it again and you'll see how awful it is.

Charge attacks
Dodge that looks like a dodge
T A U N T

Why the fuck can't I play as him in the main game ;_;

>okay
>lets dance!
>mfw

Watch Trust and betrayal faggot

Not him but that was also bad.

>tfw no taunt states for Mistral, Monsoon, and Sundowner

Is this bait?

not the same guy but i disliked the romance in it

Show me a good time, Jack.

MEMORIES BROKEN THE TRUTH GOES UNSPOKEN I'VE EVEN FORGOTTEN MY NAME

Sam's fight wasn't very good, mind you. The only cool bit was disarming him and him catching your sword. Compared to Armstrong, a 10/10 fight, Sam's was, what, a 5? Sure as hell wasn't anywhere near as good as mememan.

Its strength was standing out from the rest of the bosses in its simplicity. 1v1, no gimmicks, no scene changes, it's just you and Sam again on the side of the highway, with you being much more prepared this time around.

Even Wolf summoned mobs during his fight.

That was the narrative intention, yeah, and it was good at that. But the fight wasn't actually much *fun* in comparison to the others. They spent a lot of work on Sam's various attacks and combos but you as Raiden don't get to do much.
