Summary
Big Boss is a central character in the Metal Gear series and one of the main playable protagonists along with Solid Snake and Raide. He was the founder of the High-tech special forces unit FOXHOUND and father of Solid, Liquid and Solidus Snake. He was known as "The Greatest Soldier of the 20th century. He was originally introduced in the first game as the commanding officer and eventual main antagonist, however, in subsequent games, his exact motivations and allegiances become increasingly complex as the series progresses.

Born as John in 1935, Big Boss became an apprentice of The Boss in 1950, who was considered to be the "Mother of Special Forces". For almost ten years she trained him and taught him everything he knew, before going their separate ways in 1959. Afterwards, John participated in several coverts ops for different branches of the US military including the Green Berets. Eventually, he joined the high-tech special forces unit FOX in 1964, under the command of Major Zero, where he was given the codename "Naked Snake". In 1964 Snake took part in Operation Snake Eater, where he was forced to kill his former mentor The Boss, who was originally believed to be a traitor, but was actually working as a double agent to steal a large sum of money known as "The Philosopher's Legacy", from a rogue Soviet army colonel named Volgin. Afterwards, Snake was awarded the title of "Big Boss" for having surpassed the Boss, however, Big Boss refused to use the name for a long time, not feeling that he had truly surpassed his fallen mentor. Big Boss also became increasingly bitter and disillusioned due to the circumstances behind his mentor's death and the manipulations of soldiers by politicians, not wishing to live his life as an expendable pawn like the Boss did.

Years later, his former commander Zero inherited the Philosopher's legacy and used it to start a secret organization known as "The Patriots", an organization that had enough power to rule the United States itself from behind the scenes. Zero invited Big Boss to join the Patriots with the goal of creating a world of unity in the vision of the Boss, but soon Zero became increasingly Machiavellian in his methods. Big Boss, believing that Zero had misinterpreted the Boss's will, left the organization in order to form his own version of an ideal world, a nation where soldiers would be free from control and the interference of politics. This started a feud between Zero and Big Boss which would drive many of the conflicts in the series. As time went on Big Boss became more ruthless and determined to destroy Zero and the Patriots, even going so far as to launch a coup against the US with the threat of nuclear war, which lead to his defeat at the hands of Solid Snake in 1999.

Big Boss then spent several years in a coma, before awakening many years later and realizing that both he and Zero had to die in order for the world to be at peace. After locating and killing Zero, Big Boss made amends with Solid Snake, before passing away in 2014 on the grave of The Boss.

Weaknesses: Not very smart academically speaking. He also tends to underestimate certain individuals with regards to completing a task, which can lead to disastrous consequences (Such as Chico and Solid Snake)

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

- CQC:
Unique and highly efficient martial arts allowing a soldier a variety of options while not denying them the use of weapons. It generally has the user taking a stance with knife and a handgun thus he/she could grab/throw opponents in melee, threaten/execute people with the sharp blade or shoot down opponents who are otherwise outside the user's range. CQC mostly focuses on grabs, throws and other methods to disarm the target, allowing one to take down enemies without killing them or use them like a human shield. A skilled practitioner can even "chain" throws, allowing to rapidly neutralize an entire group of soldiers. Big Boss was one of the creators of the technique and developed it while training with the Boss. He didn't use it for several years following his time in the Green Berets, but eventually became skilled enough to defeat the Boss in hand-to-hand combat. He would later go on to teach several others CQC, most noticeably Solid Snake. He is arguably the best user of CQC, having to use it to best Colonel Volgin (twice) The Ocelot unit, Ocelot, The Boss herself, Null, and Gene, and disarmed Solid Snake with ease at the elderly age of 79.

Deathstroke the Terminator

No more work for hire. From today, I'll decide who needs to die.
~ Slade Wilso​
Summary
A man is only as good as his word. But in the underground world of assassins, mercenaries, and guns-for-hire, words mean little. What matters is action and follow through—completing the mission. That's what makes you good. Never failing—even when it comes to taking down the World's Greatest Super Heroes, some of the most powerful beings in the world—that's what makes you the best. That's what makes you Deathstroke.

He has been compared to Batman in terms of tactical methods. Even against metahumans he has proven more than a match for them all at once with time to prepare. Roy Harper once claimed the Slade was, "The world's greatest tactician." Using his superior problem-solving skills, Deathstroke can work out a battle ahead of time for many possibilities and predict enemy movements and tactics after the battle has engaged by recalling and utilizing memorized mannerisms acquired through past experience on a moment's notice.

  • Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Slade trained in hand-to-hand combat and when he was in the Army, he proved himself to be one of their best fighters. Later he received martial arts training in various styles. After mastering these martial arts he furthered his studies when he sought an assassin known as Natas to train him in the ways of Ninja and had studied assassination techniques. His physical prowess is so great that he has defeated Batman in hand to hand combat.
  • Swordsmanship: Deathstroke is a highly trained swordsman; he is able to dual-wield a pair of katanas and to use them with deadly accuracy and an almost superhuman speed.
Hunting and Tracking: Deathstroke is an expert big game hunter and tracker and used his occupation as a safari hunter as cover for his mercenary work.

How this thread doesn't have more votes is beyond me. Gonna vote Big Boss for reasons above.
Thank you...
 
Boss for reasons above. He outclasses Slade in all three major areas (read: stronger, more durable, a fair deal faster in combat) and generally speaking, this fight is just another day in the office to him.

Slade's AP with his staff won't matter against someone who can outpace him in combat. Outside of that, his only advantage here is his Regenerationn, and given how this fight looks otherwise, it will only serve to delay the inevitable.

Edit: Nice match, btw. If this fight actually happened, I'd pay money to see it.
 
I like deathstroke and big boss, so I am going to break it down. Deathstroke Advantages: Healing Factor AP with Staff Maybe experience with physical weapons? (IE: Staves, Swords etc) Snake Advantages Armor Faster (Not enough for a blitz tho) More AP physically and with some weapons Better with close combat, (See fights with the Boss and his duel with snake to see what I am talking about) Stronger via lifting strength and striking

Inconclusive on: Experience (Look, I like snake, but deathstroke has similar experience in a similar time frame. Both are veterans and both fight meta human like foes all the time) Weaponry (Self explanatory. Snake does on paper have higher ap with weaponry, but his weaponry is not as modern as death strokes. I am going to play devils advocate and just chalk it up to a wash)

I will go with inconclusive. I could wank snake a tad and vote for him, and to be fair I guess I 'lean' towards him. But this can go either way (IE: Snake cqcs a bullet into his brain or deathstroke hits him once with his staff) Yes Snake is better with close combat, but a staff can be used with further range and it will honestly be a pain to disarm it from deathstroke. I guess inconclusive or snake with high diff

HOWEVER: If you gave deathstroke prep time, I can see him taking this.

Then again Deathstroke Regen is up to his Stamina right? And i think Bigboss can outlast Deathstroke too.
Is it? I don't remember.

Big Boss does have a slight stamina advantage though.

If Deathtroke damages him enough, before he runs out of stamina he takes it. If Boss can drag it out he wins.

I'm leaning on Deathstroke since they both have insanely high stamina and the fight would likely last very long, and Boss seems to get hurt pretty badly against equally matched opponents.
 
It may be old, but as long as it's not a stomp then we can at least try to get it concluded.

Edit: I noticed Speed was not equalized so actually this is a stomp.
