Snake vs Mega Man (2006 Characters)

It’s so funny. The Noble Nine was always very hierarchical in its rankings of who went where. Link, Cloud, and Sephy were at the top (in that order), followed by Mario, Samus (whether or not you think she’s stronger indirectly) and Crono. The bottom three were Sonic, Mega Man, and Snake. Before 2006 Sonic and Snake were considered the weak links in the Noble Nine chain, the ones who would eventually crumble and break the glory of the Noble Nine.

My, how things change.

2006 was a totally different year for Snake – he was back and out for blood. And he certainly took out his revenge for two years of losses on Mega Man, handily beating him down. Most folks saw this one coming after Round One, but some refused to believe the myth of Super Snake until it was too late. The Noble Nine had shifted – and it would continue to do so.
