If we put these two dolphins in a slobber-knocker event, who do you think would win? This is almost similar as X (Mega Man) taking on Samus Aran.

This is more like siccing a trained attack wolf on Lassie than putting Mega Man up against Samus.

What upthorn said. Ecco is the magical chosen savior of Earth capable of defeating the Borg. Flipper is one Ecco's friends that got sucked out of the water and had to have his tail rescued. Also, Samus would win. X can never harm a human being, whereas Samus will take anyone out if there's a price on their head.
Kirby said so, so it must be true. ( >'.')>

What's ecco gonna do, talk to flipper? all that god damn dolphin does is shoot out talk-vibrations whereas flipper actually kicks some ass, iirc. edit: damn, i think i just remembered that ecco has some sort of charge attack... >_>

Not to mention Ecco has a Sonar of DEATH! So indeed, Ecco could literally talk Flipper to death. I'm with Upthorn: This matchup isn't fair in the slightest. Intergalactic ocean warrior vs. Lassie of the Sea? Yeah. Not even the talking dolphin from Seaquest would stand a chance.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

I think I forgot to mention that the very existence of this thread makes me sad. There is a reason that I choose to read and post here, and not at the gamefaqs boards.

Both Ecco and Flipper taste good with some mayo and a little mustard on two pieces of sourdough bread. Dolphin Free FTL.

What about the normal Megaman? Because he's, you know, more than just a robot.

<geekmode> Megaman X was built so that he could choose for himself whatever the heck he wants to do. That means he doesn't possess the "Don't kill humans" inhibition. Megaman, as Xkeeper said, is able to repress this built-in inhibitionas demonstrated in the end of MM7 when he almost killed Wily. "I am more than a robot!" His coolest moment ever. </geekmode>

Intro to Megaman X says Dr Light confined him until diagnostics determined positively that X would never harm a human being. :colbert: Edit: And yes, the ending to Mega Man 7 is one of my favorite moments in the series. Also, is it just me, or did Rock look totally pissed through that entire game? "X WEAPON GIVES ME X ABILITY, DOESN'T IT?! >:O"

Hypothetically speaking, if Ecco, the digital dolphin, were to die - something which theoretically he may never do - he just loses a life. Being an analog dolphin, Flipper will inevitably die at some point in time, never to return again. Ecco wins.

Can, but won't.

I hate to disappoint but that "coolest moment" only exists in the English version. In the Japanese, when Wily says Rock can't actually shoot him, he puts his Buster away and stays silent, then the room starts collapsing.
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster. I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.
