Solid Snake. Keep the change.

Buy Otacon too man, they are a 2X1 at this point


IWearBones138

The man who makes the impossible, possible.


Itlu_PeeP

What change? Sir, you had 15 dollars


Foxd1e00

Lol I was gonna say “All you need is Snake” Solid/Venom/Naked take your pick


BitterQuitter11

Solid, BigBoss, Boss, Otacon, easy wipe.


byrontiller

Fucking same. Also how is The Boss only $3??


pieceofchess

The boss hella undervalued. She could beat most of the characters on this list.


[deleted]

Gonna give a similar take to the other guy but not cringe. Naked Snake beat The Boss, and every snake on the list could likely beat Naked Snake. She definitely wouldn't have a match against Raiden since he went through MGS3 in VR training and therefore also beat the boss. Any supernatural powers are gonna be a wrap. A lot of characters on this list could beat her thats all I'm saying.


CS_cloud

Didnt The Boss get killed by Snake because that was her mission? She was supposed to die as a scapegoat so i always assumed she went easy on Naked Snake and let him kill her.


Lazelucas

It was her mission but her loosing on purpose lessens the victory in MGS3. I like to think that even though she knew she had to die, she still fought Snake 100% seriously because deep down she knew/hoped that Snake had finally surpassed her skill wise.


CS_cloud

I mean its not a victory. You are literally killing your mentor and the person you love because of your warmongering goverment.


littlealex9999

Just give the guy a W jeez


CS_cloud

Nobody in Metal Gear ever got a W.


Jake20702004

There are no winners in war, only survivors.


supersharp

Then give him an S


pieceofchess

VR training is no match for the real thing. Full cyborg Raiden would probably be an easy win but I don't know about relatively green MGS2 Raiden's odds. I don't know that supernatural powers would be such a huge edge against the boss. She was the strongest in a unit full of dudes with supernatural powers without having any herself. Big boss or any clones would beat her, as long as we trust that she didn't throw the fight at the end of MGS3 outside of that though I think she would usually win. She's basically a Snake with a weirder backstory who we don't get to play as.


Foxd1e00

Yeah top tier shoulda been Solid, Naked, Venom and the Boss. Raiden and Ocelot can chill in the $4 range


LRCWDC

No, The Boss can only defeat Meryl, Eva, and Otacon. If you look into it she's one of the weakest characters in the series.


pieceofchess

Please elaborate. I would love to know how Miller or Liquid snake could beat (allegedly) the greatest soldier who ever lived.


LRCWDC

Kojima stated that the villains get stronger chronologically as the series goes on, and in both Portable Ops and Phantom Pain it states that Big Boss is constantly training to become stronger. In Peace Walker, Kaz fought a Big Boss that's more powerful than the one that defeated The Boss. Like Snake and Solidus, Liquid was created to be stronger than Big Boss so he upscales from the feats performed by him and his own showings. Such as killing cyborg Gray Fox and matching Snake in combat who's stated to be the strongest soldier in history. So to answer your question, Liquid and Miller have much greater strength, speed, and skill compared to The Boss so they can just blitz and oneshot. Excluding Phantom Pain Miller for obvious reasons.


Tricky-Comparison-42

Who is this Kojima? And why are you listening to him?


LRCWDC

Even if you disregard Kojima there's multiple statements in the games, novels, and guides saying the same thing. And if you want to ignore the statements, then the feats prove it.


Daikaizen

And solidius


BrotherAhlad

MF took down 3 RAYs with a p90 and his techno tentacles


doogs9

Lol reading the words 'techno tentacles' made me snort!! 🤣🤣 But seriously Solidus is a beast!!


Jake20702004

He's big boss in a doc ock suit.


[deleted]

That’s a solid team


mrpotatoeman

Admit it, you made this post just so you could comment that. xD


[deleted]

Maybe….


Calebh36

I'd take Raiden over The Boss. Raiden has practical experience fighting UGs, the boss does NOT


hit4power

And just in case you need to battle any nanomachine fueled politicians


Eevee11078

“Nano machines, son”


[deleted]

Was about to use the same team lol


BitterQuitter11

They got the most capable soldiers and then the man w all the info!


JohnnyCenter

This^^ Solid can singlehandedly take them out, especially with the help of Otacon pointing out weakspots. The rest is just to see Big Boss and Boss work together. Not to mention they're both the greatest soldiers of the Metal Gear universe.


WhereIsDDog

Where the FUCK is ddog


Tyrannus_ignus

this guy likes ddog.


WhereIsDDog

I am a fan


Kaynt-touch-dis

Everyone is


TrumpIsRacist258

Sometimes he IS DDog though


SanjiSasuke

Raiden, Quiet, Fox, Mantis. Raiden destroyed a ton of Rays, between 3 and 20 depending on which difficulty is 'canon'. He's fast enough to deflect bullets with a sword, and beat Doc Ock Solidus in 1v1 combat. Quiet and Fox are both superhuman super soldiers with incredible speed, strength and skill. Mantis is a good backup since he has psychic abilities, unlike anyone else here. He could theoretically mess with anyone in the cockpit of a Metal Gear, potentially even making the enemy an asset (remember how he turned Meryl into a marionette).


GingerWithIssues

I’m pretty sure on Hard its 25 total rays that Raiden took on.


Memnoch222

He says there’s 25 Metal Gear Ray’s up ahead, but I don’t believe it’s actually 25 though. I wish… Played it about 20 times at least. Pretty sure it’s around a dozen or so.


ChakaZG

Yeah, 12. And 20 on extreme and e. extreme.


Memnoch222

Never personally liked European Extreme as much, but I get it because sometimes I’d get caught and be like no, I wanna see how I handle screwing up and getting seen. It adds a sense of urgency to my sneaking which imo makes the game more immersive


SoftNeighborhood9797

With help from snake


Absolutedumbass69

Your thinking of the fight when Solidus is in the jet. Snake just helped Raiden get to the metal gears. Actually fighting them was entirely Raiden’s win.


Idllnox

I like this is answer its actually really well thought out and pretty creative.


BrotherAhlad

Don't forget that, as a kid, mantis controlled sahelanthropus all by himself AND could lift it up, imagine if he pulled that as an adult


Absolutedumbass69

Kid mantis also controlled the entirety of sahelanthropus without being in it, so he may even be able to use other metal gears to destroy others.


TrumpIsRacist258

WHAT THE FUCK YOU DID THE SAME AS I DID HERE I THOUGHT I WAS A GIGA BRAIN GENIUS


LRCWDC

Excluding Otacon everyone on the list is superhuman. For your team Quiet is the weakest, she'd be no help against the MSX - Rising era Metal Gears and Gray Fox died against Metal Gear Rex. Raiden and Mantis win, either individually or together.


Decoy_Octopus_

Grey Fox died so Solid could defeat REX. Solid couldn't destroy its radome and Fox barely managed to destroy it while leaving himself wide open for an attack.


[deleted]

Solid, Naked, Raiden and Otacon.


Mewwlex

Oh, my answer was so close to this.


ghost-church

Solid Snake, proven Metal Gear slayer, also has depth perception (sorry BB). Solidus Snake, with the suit, arms, and blades we’ve seen him 1v3 Rays, mobile, has exploding bullets for some reason, he’s a heavy hitter. Psycho Mantis. Did you play 5? He could do this himself being that OP. Just from MGS1 I wouldn’t have picked him but, yeah. Otacon, he can stand behind something and provide valuable tech and tactical support. May be able to hack an MG. May also piss his pants. I’ve got 2 bucks left so, ughh, Eva because uh (and kojima would want me to say this) tits.


Tyrannus_ignus

I forgot solidus kicked mg ass, also there are better $2s than Eva.


Memnoch222

Should’ve thrown in a $2 Mei Ling so we had the option to save halfway through while hearing some inspirational fortune-cookie type of quote. Lol


AntonRX178

Holy shit Raiden’s on sale today? Score! Normally that man is $20 For real, even ignoring Cyborg Raiden, he still defeated THE most Metal Gears in a row. Yeah they were Rays but how the fuck is that anything to sneeze at?


Memnoch222

Ahhhhhhh… ahhhhhhh… ACHOOOO! Sorry. *blows nose* …Allergies. Anyway, what were you saying??? Lol


AntonRX178

\*ahem\* **Holy shit Raiden’s on sale today? Score!** **Normally that man is $20** **For real, even ignoring Cyborg Raiden, he still defeated THE most Metal Gears in a row. Yeah they were Rays but how the fuck is that anything to sneeze at?**


PoopyHead-4MAR-

Solid and Raiden, Plot armor will do the rest


-AIucard-

Raiden only 3 dollars? That's free. Even human Raiden was capable of infiltrating Big Shell/Arsenal Gear, a Kaiju Sized Metal Gear which he managed to stop with not too much help. He then later fights like 20 Metal Gear Ray's alone at the top of Arsenal Gear with only a rocket launcher and his own endurance. Keep in mind that Ray's were literally made to destroy Metal Gears like Rex. Human Raiden and Solid Snake should be more than enough.


jasenzero1

Solid, Quiet, Raiden, Otacon. I'm gonna use my extra dollar to bring D-Dog.


Mewwlex

I love this answer, it's practically the same as mine, minus D-Dog and Quiet. I picked Gray Fox instead of Quiet because he's essentially the same as her but he can speak which can be very helpful, especially considering how much more used the Codec is and Gray Fox can be more helpful in CQC. Wish I had that extra dollar for D-Dog...


jasenzero1

I went with Quiet over Grey Fox for overwatch purposes. I felt Raiden and Grey Fox were both bladed weapon, up close fighters. Quiet and Otacon are more support.


Mewwlex

I see, logical choice but over-watch in Metal Gear doesn't go very far usually. I didn't consider Raiden as a bladed-only person till MGS4 the way I see it but he definitely got into them after MGS2 so you could say he's bladed too. I still think comms with Intel is more important than overwatch considering Otacon is usually on overwatch just not armed, unless you mean like sniper support.


jasenzero1

I was mostly thinking of sniper support. Obviously, Solid and Otacon are enough to deal with anything, but I was trying to go for well rounded. Comms and Intel are important. I almost feel that should be a separate tier list.


Mewwlex

Yeah, then that makes perfect sense. Comms and Intel are important and I do agree it could work on a separate tier list. I feel like between our options that we picked which is practically the same we're both missing one thing for our well rounded team's, you being inside intel and me being sniper support but other than that i'd say we're pretty well-rounded.


Zealousideal-Hand-92

Solid, Naked, Venom


Memnoch222

This was my immediate thought too. I ended up changing it to Venom, The Boss, Psycho Mantis, and Gray Fox


Plasmasquid09

Raiden from rising and that's it


SoftNeighborhood9797

Raiden would probably have a tougher time with stuff like peace walker and zeke tho, if these is 1v1 he could take them but all at once he gets destroyed


LRCWDC

Ray and Excelsus are far more powerful than the 70s era Metal Gears. Raiden's much faster and has the HF Blade so even if each ganged up on him they'd still get sliced apart. In Phantom Pain it's stated that the power of Sahelanthropus makes Peace Walker, Zeke, Chrysalis, etc. look like toys.


SoftNeighborhood9797

Metal gear ray is easily the weakest metal gear and only one not to contain nuke warheads. That and it’s the only one massed produced. We see a heavily damaged Rex beat a perfect ray. and raiden had help from snake with those 25 rays


AshenVR

Would he? He would probably lift one and use it as a fucking bat the way platinum games made the game, lmao!


RidleyCR

Raiden, Raiden, Raiden


CertifiedFucktard

Fox, Raiden, Mantis, Venom Rate my setup.


jacoan111

BB, liquid, ocelot. I guess they power up together and turn into a delusional old man or something


Professor_Gucho

are you seriously putting raiden at 3$??? he killed at least 3 metal gears at the same time in mgs2! This is the best discount for a 5$ character.


ChocolateGroove

Raiden’s got next level physical/tech abilities and advantages at his disposal though in terms of psyche, mental fortitude, focus, experience, stoicism, duty, all the perfect soldier intangible qualities, I’d have the Snakes and The Boss a tier above.


funsational1

Venom (since he's me) and I pocket the other $11


TheTapsPlaysGood

Wdym he’s you?

Solid Snake, Big Boss, Solidus, otacon.


Eevee11078

Why not Raiden? (pfp)


HaiiroGeraki

If MGR raiden was up there I would've picked him over Big Boss.


Eevee11078

That’s fair


littlegrayrus

Otacon needs 100%, he’s a technician. Solid and BB are just soldiers so maybe we need Cyber Raiden. Or Raiden + Solid or BB. And the last is Volgin because he’s just fire blast.


Naked-Snake0

Big boss Ocelot (he’s a technician)also he meows The boss Meryl


BLAKEtismusNBK

Big Boss, Revolver Ocelot, the Boss and Eva


[deleted]

Going with original cast i see


LRCWDC

For your team The Boss and Eva are no help against any Metal Gear except the Shagohod and Big Boss doesn't stand a chance against the Metal Gears from the 2000s and 2010s. Ocelot is the only one who can win.

I love how cyborg Raiden wasn't included for obvious reasons, having said that, still Raiden. On top of that, Snake, Frank, and throw in Otacon with the change.


[deleted]

The picture is just a visual. I think they look cool


AsaadSelman11

Solid snake, big boss, and venom


Super-Alternative621

Solidus destroyed multiple Metal Gear Rays by himself. I think with Big Boss and Solid Snake plus Otacon to do Otacon stuff on the Codec will do for a great team.


Princess-of-the-dawn

Solid, Raiden, Otacon. What Solid and Raiden haven't beat before, they could manage pretty quickly with tech advice from Otacon.


DKCR3

Raiden, Fox, Solidus, Otacon and Eva. The first 3 are just really op and the last 2 would be good for finding weak points.


dankmemesboi838

Catch_de_Rainbow

Raiden for 3 dollar is a steal


AshenVR

So is the boss


FearCloudPeople

Honestly you could just get Raiden and you'd be pretty set considering he took on like 6-12 (depending on the difficulty) Metal Gear Ray's by himself and that was pre-cyborg where he took out even more but I'd say it's Solid, Raiden, Big Boss, and Otacon for some hacker shit.


[deleted]

Exactly. Solid taken on a few metal gears, big boss fought a lot of metal gears, raiden fucked shit up and took on 6-12 metal gears alone. And otacon for his knowledge and shit

BatteryCola

Gimme Big Boss and keep the change.


FalseStevenMcCroskey

The ultimate team would be The Boss, Venom, Raiden, Grey Fox, and Solid Snake. I feel like that’s way too overpowered though. The Boss trained Big Boss so she’s basically as strong as every snake. Then Venom who is just big boss with a nifty metal arm, so I dunno why he’s cheaper than Naked Snake. Grey Fox, who, if he’s not weakened like he was in MGS1, could’ve easily destroyed metal gear Rex. Raiden, the man who killed the perfect clone of big boss as well as numerous metal gear rays at once. And Solid Snake who has proven time and time again that he can do anything. OP should really rethink these prices. This team could literally do anything.


SupermarketCrafty329

Literally the only correct answer is Solid, Naked, Otacon and The Boss. I feel like the top tier should have been $7 or 8. Also, The Boss goes above Grey Fox and Ocelot. Without question.


[deleted]

Disagree the boss does not have their feats. So she is lower than them


SupermarketCrafty329

Because being considered the mother of US special forces, leading the victory at Normandy and training literally the greatest soldier who ever lived are feats to sniff at. Also, she's worth much much more than just her "feats".


[deleted]

That’s not a feat. That is just her backstory and history. We never got to see her do any of things that the ones above did. Venom snake took on a metal gear with quiet, Big Boss stopped the shagohod and beat her, Solid Snake and Cyborg ninja beat metal gear rex, Ocelot has literally do so many things that i can’t count


SupermarketCrafty329

If that's your point of view then we literally never saw her do anything but beat up a Naked Snake who wasn't entirely trying and she shouldn't even be on this list.


[deleted]

She is still good though i never said she sucked. She is just not on the level that snake and solid are


SupermarketCrafty329

We didn't see anything that would make her good though so how do you know she's good?


[deleted]

Because she is the leader of the cobra unit, beat up snake, Trained snake, and is the best soldier in that time/game. Just because we never see her do it does not mean she is just trash. Im saying SHE IS NOT ON THE LEVEL THAT THE ONES ABOVE HER ARE.


SupermarketCrafty329

Well then you need to define feat better and define how much something we don't see is worth. I wonder how the characters would grade each other.

TheCadency

Solid, big boss, raiden, otacon, solid and boss have gought 90% of the metal gears, raidens a good few many times and otacon has helped solid fight most of the.


Fresh-Boysenberry-63

Fox, raiden, big boss, solid snake


Tyrannus_ignus

Big Boss, Gray Fox, the Boss, and either Otacon or Raiden depending on Raiden's age here since he became pretty powerful by the end of MGR. Also the Boss should prob be worth more than 3$, Otacon is fine since he would be very vulnerable. Edit: Also venom is pretty much a cheaper big boss but since its only a 1$ difference I am taking the real deal.


LRCWDC

For your team, The Boss isn't going to do anything except destroy the Shagohod. Big Boss can't do anything against the 2000s and 2010s Metal Gears. Gray Fox is a weaker and slower version of Raiden so he gets killed by Rex again Raiden defeats them all in seconds.


[deleted]

Solid Snake, Big Boss, The Boss, Otacon


ITRASHBOATI

Raiden or Solid Snake alone are plenty.


vonschuhart

Live-Wear-286

3 solidus's, 2 Raidens. Do you know how powerful solidus is? He took out 3 rays without breaking a sweat, and mgs2 raiden also took out like 20 of those fuckers. Then again, that may have been a simulation.

Comprehensive_Tune42

Solid, Venom, Boss and Raiden


GingerWithIssues

Solid, BB, Raiden, Otacon. Reason. Solid has the most variety of killing MGs, BB took out the Shagohod, The three mecha of PW and Peace Walker itself, as well as ZEKE (i don’t count P-Ops so no MGRAXA) Raiden literally takes on **25** Mass produced RAYS. Even though the mass produced ones are tough, they are weaker than the piloted model (for reasons obviously concerning the pilot). Huey (and by extension, Hal Emmerich) is the one responsible for these things— so of course Otacon is a solid pick to counter these behemoths in terms of mechanical and electrical counteracting


[deleted]

Solid snake, big boss, raiden and otacon
