Ever wonder if two of your favorite characters fought against each other? We've matched up a pair and sent them in the ring for a battle!

Have you ever wondered what would happen if your favorite video game characters duked it out? We have two action favorites ready to fight. In the blue corner at 5'10 and 165 lbs., we have Solid Snake. In the red corner at 5'11 and 161 lbs., we have Leon S. Kennedy. These two competitors will fight it out in several categories and a winner will be determined. Before we begin, why don’t we learn a little more about the fighters?

Solid Snake-

The legendary Solid Snake saved the world from nuclear annihilation more times than we can count. What we know of Solid Snake begins after he joins the Special Forces Unit FOXHOUND. Snake’s first step into the limelight was Operation INTRUDE N313, where he infiltrated the enemy fortress Outer Heaven. Snake learned that the leader of Outer Heaven was Big Boss, the commander of FOXHOUND. Snake defeated Big Boss and managed to single-handedly save the world.

A face that can wet any pants.

Snake’s second famous mission required him to infiltrate Zanzibar Land in 1999. The world was facing a fuel shortage and energy crisis, until Dr. Kio Marv created OILX, a bio organism that can refine fossil fuel quickly and cheaply. But when the military nation Zanzibar Land hears of the doctor’s accomplishments, they kidnap him in an attempt to gain economic superiority over the world. Eventually Snake rescues Dr. Marv and finds out that Big Boss survived Outer Heaven and that a new Metal Gear had been created. Snake defeats the Metal Gear and kills Big Boss.

Solid Snake’s most well-known mission occurred in 2010 on Shadow Moses Island on the Fox Archipelago. FOXHOUND, now under the command of Liquid Snake, took over a nuclear weapons disposal facility and kidnapped the DARPA chief and the president of ARMS Tech. Snake learns of yet another Metal Gear and also learns that Liquid Snake is his twin brother, created in the Les Enfants Terribles project, an effort to create genetically perfect soldiers using the DNA of Big Boss. Eventually Snake stops Liquid from launching a nuclear weapon and destroys the new Metal Gear for the third time.

Snake is said to have an IQ of 180 and knows several languages. Being of the clone of the greatest soldier of the 20th Century and having extensive training since childhood, he has managed to go up against outrageous odds and come though, unscathed.

Leon S. Kennedy-

Leon Kennedy’s history begins with his acceptance into the Raccoon City Police Department. When Leon showed up for his first day on the job the T-virus had spread to Raccoon City; talk about bad luck. Leon, Claire Redfield and Ada had to escape the city without being infected and before it was destroyed by a nuke.

The Kennedy that is most sober of them all.

Leon later joined the Secret Service and once again his amazing luck led to the president’s daughter, Ashley, being kidnapped before he was to accept the responsibility of the president’s family. Leon is sent to a small village where Ashley is thought to be held, as he enters the village he finds villagers who attack on sight and have superhuman strength, fairly similar to those infected with the T-virus. Eventually, Leon saves Ashley and in the process saves the world from las Plagas.

According to Ada, Leon is a tactical genius and has remarkable survival skills. His police and Secret Service training only made him more capable.
