How should the Space Marines compete for dominance?

[KrakFoxx]

a contest against tyranids, the contest would be "who can look the most like a tyranid?"... might be a bit unfair actually...

But tyranids arent space marines! So thus the competition is invalid, giving the marines yet another win.

wait is this between Space Marines, or Spacemarines vs someone else?..

If the marines from Warhammer 40K ever become real, I'm going to kill someone.
Gigantic Shoulderpads is NOT cool.

I assume you don't play WoW then. That is clearly how you rate your armor, by how big your shoulders are.

Between space marines of various types, eg: Halol spartans, 40k, starcraft, etc.

 

[Shaegor]

A simple tournament. One cage, 2 Marines enter, 1 Marine leaves.

 

[w-Jinksy]

See who can yell the loudest - won by astartes

who sounds the most like solid snake - won by the chief

stupid government award for idiot who gave criminals power armour and guass technology - won by sc marines

but all in all i think it should all be settled by seeing who can drink the most alchohol and then who can eat the most kebabs without throwing up.

Which one of them can take off their generic heavy armour, shave their stubble, wear normal clothes, get married, have some kids, live a happy and stable life AND actually being a likeable game protagonist that we actually care about, in the shortest amount of time.

Master Chief is obviously going to lose, ofcourse. No matter, he sucks anyways(Griffin: 4, Master Chief: 0, HAHAHAHA!!)

 

[Crazycat690]

Well the W40k Space Marines are the originals so them anyday before the other noobs like Master Cheif. Ah and those from Starcraft are also kinda cool, but in the end the w40k Marines are superior in all ways, the coolest, the smartest and the strongest! FOR THE EMPEROR! Competition... well... this, how about th... OH the W40k marines won already ._.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Russian Roullete, without power armor of course.

Jokes contest. Put them infront of an audience and whoever gets the most laughs wins.
As for the winner of most these ideas: CHAOS Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines. Why? All the advantages of regular 40k marines, but with the bonus of having a god or four on their side.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Headbutting, they're made for it. No shoulderpads allowed though, spiked or otherwise.

Space marines from 40k have re-enforced skulls and can take small arms fire to the face. I think they'd win for that one.

 

[Ocelot GT]

A spelling contest. Their reaction on negative results would be priceless.

 

[InsanityRequiem]

You know what would be the most fair and equal competition for them to do!?

Wait for it... Wait for it...

*Deep breath*

They must sing Disneyland pop for a day straight. I'm talking about Hilary Duff/Mylie Cyrus/etc singing.

And before anyone says that the Emperor's Children are the best singers, what they do isn't singing. It's yelling and screeching, ergo point invalid. Ha!

I think it's implied that most games' space marines have something of the sort, since they can all take huge amounts of damage and just walk it off by hiding behind a chest-high fence.

"You are the weakest link, goodbye." *huge Carnifex comes up from behind and tears the loosing Space Marine in half*

Don't tell me that ain't perfect.

By the way, if they're in a physical prowess non-combat situation, they're not wearing armour.

I thought they were pretty much bonded with their armour, never seen one without it. I wonder how they look like.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Irrelevant.

 

[hittite]

Stick them all In a room with the original Space Marine enemy, xenomorphs. Whichever faction comes out alive wins. Otherwise I say football.

Actually, the original Space Marine enemy is the Bugs. (Starship Troopers was first printed in 1959 and is actually more like Halo than the movie.)

Well, there go the Thousand Sons.

How do you mean?

 

[hittite]

A representative of each group is fitted with their respective armor and full combat loadout and then relased into an abandoned city with Iron Mike O'Neill in his "demon" armor. If you get this reference, you are officially my favorite person and will get one mega-cookie.

They're a chapter of Marines who had their souls imprisoned within their armour, and their bodies turned to dust. I don't think dust alone would possess adequate physical capability to compete.
