what do you think the point of the loyalty missions Ā and the conversations before it and after it were? It wasn't about unlocking their potential. It was about helping them take care of their personal problems. and that in the end lead to... 1. A new power per character. 2. A garrantee of success for the job they do on the suicide mission if job given is based on there class. 3.it allows one to unlock any romance with some characters. 4.and garrantee's survival of me for all but 3 charaters. Some how that'sounds not unlocking there potential because not doing means an a sari justice near matriarch in power can hold up a bubble and a being that literally is tech can't hack some doors.

If this were another butt thread, I'd go with Cora (just barely). Barely... Butt, how barely? That's the rear question.

Miranda could crush a wannabe huntress with her biotics or shoot its head off at a hundred yards. Take your pick. With what though? The Locust's a good gun, but you ain't getting any decent headshots at a distance. In any case, distance wouldn't be a thing for long, since biotic charge closes gaps pretty quickly, and shotguns > smg's.

Not to mention Asari are genetically superior to humans at biotics(think Jack levels of biotic power) and Cora being an "asari commando" is just pure nonsense as is most of the story telling in this game. So Jack could be an asari commando but not Cora? Even though the game states Cora had good enough biotics and training to do so?

All asari are born biotic to a degree but I don't believe I've ever read that all asari were as powerful as Jack. There are asari who choose to not develop their biotic abilities and it said that those that choose to train their abilities usually become formidable. They are not formidable by birth, basically. They may have a better grasp on biotic because they've been born with them but strength and power seems to come about by training, rarely by birth. If asari commandos were as powerful as Samara or Jack then the waves of them that Benezia deployed in the first Mass Effect should have wiped out Shepard and the squad. The same applies if the asari mobs encountered in Mass Effect 2 were as powerful as Jack.

Cora wins easily. She's got a better personality and is talented solider and biotic and is a better second in command and is self-aware of her weaknesses and admits to them and tries to correct them.
Miranda's daddy issues are extremely annoying and her personality ranges from ice queen bitch to badass to crying about her damn genes and then having to overcompensate for that. Also she is vastly over-rated in weapons combat (Garrus and Thane are much better hell even Jacob and Tali) and biotics (Jack and Samara are better in ME2) and lacks leadership. She also doublecrosses TIM and Cerberus way too easy and as Javik said: "Traitors are never to be trusted, if they can betray their race what makes you think that they can't do that to you." All she has a catsuit to show off her equally over-rated butt.

1. Take Liara in Mass Effect 1. A scientist and a young one at that, but who would you put your money on, Kaiden who is a trained biotic and using implants or Liara? Asari have baseline potential far exceeding that of humans and Cora in comparison is just a baby to them. How she ends up lecturing other asari commandos at some point in her loyalty mission is beyond me. Oh well... 1. I'd say Kaidan because he has training and experience that would entail learning to use his biotic abilities to combat enemies. I don't think Liara had recieved similar training given that she didn't attempt to combat the Geth on Therum and specifically tried to hide and activate a barrier to protect herself. It seems Liara does not have trouble with raiders as it's mentioned she defends her dig sites against those sorts but it seems other enemies present a problem for her. I think her later combat development came about from her ventures with Shepard and her own adventures during the interval between the first Mass Effect and the second Mass Effect. 2. Again, I don't recall anything that says that asari biotic potential far exceeds that of other races. Can you post your source or where you got this impression from?

In a fight Cora wins. More combat experience and better training!
But Miri wins as the best Second in Command. Cora is absolutely useless in that role.

Nuff said that does not matter in a straight one on one fight. Miranda at default is better at leading in management. But Cora is better in a straight fight with her charge and shield boost. You have no idea how many time Cora saved me in a fight.

The Asari Huntress or The Cerberus Cheerleader? Who'd win in a warm sweaty fight? š Cora. No contest. Cora's first charge would knock Miranda off her high heels, nova would send her flying. Warp is compelling, but Cora can apparently bend steel beams, so - Cora wins here. Cora doesn't shove hers in my face, thus its much more... interesting. Miranda wins this one. Cora doesn't seem to have any, though she does have a bit of a hero worship thing. A dissatisfied ice queen fretting over daddy issues and sister's status versus a seemingly well-adjusted colleague whose only apparent issues involve adapting to not becoming the next Pathfinder and learning to trust herself. This one's a bit closer than the others, but Cora seems generally more stable. Neither is perfect, but Miranda seems to think she is (or is supposed to be), which is a problem. They both seem competent here. Cora has actual armor. Miranda displays cameltoe, which grosses me out, so... An ice queen who tells her new CO she wanted to install a control chip doesn't get many points here. Cora plays nicely with others, and even provides emotional support to an insecure person, so she wins. A more tasteful outfit would help Miranda a lot here, and a more attractive hairstyle would help Cora. I'll call it even. I voted for Cora.

Her alliance and commando experience would probably also put her above Miranda's combat training with Cerberus. The fact Cora wears actual armour and a helmet may also prove to be an edge in battle. Stupid rule of cool. Wonder why Drew's fanboys/fangirls don't also blame this on him since he is the best thing that ever happened to mass effect and apparently made ME2 single handed. Seriously, Cora's training and experience most likely give her the upper hand in a fight against Miranda.

So much wrong in this thread... Miranda didn't have what it takes to be in the upper tier biotics of the squad (Jack and Samara). For all her talk of being genetically engineered, shes not in their league. And your squad will pay in the Suicide Mission if you put that to the test. Now I don't know if you noticed but Cora mentioned being assigned to work with asari commandos (huntresses if you will) once or twice. And swatted away lightning like it's nothing. That means Harper is likely a more powerful biotic than Lawson. Her alliance and commando experience would probably also put her above Miranda's combat training with Cerberus. The fact Cora wears actual armour and a helmet may also prove to be an edge in battle. Oh yes, let's compare normal humans (even allegedly "perfectly designed" ones) to thousand-year-old Matriarch-level asari justicars or freak Starkiller-esque experiments. Seems legit. In other news, neither can solo a Reaper so they're both worthless. Asari commandos are overrated. A non-biotic Shepard can still wipe the floor with them with Tali and... pick whichever non-biotic ME1 squadmate you think is weakest. Biotic strength alone doesn't necessarily matter. Althought it sounds like they went of the deep end with it anyway. Cerberus recruits ex-Alliance and all other specialties so this point is moot as well. If anything, Cerberus has more variety and more experience and expertise in asymmetrical warfare. So even if we'd accept your claims that Cora has more power than Miranda, it's irrelevant. Miranda would still neutralize her with ease. While looking fabulous. Miranda just Miranda. No overthinking, No Need for Manuals. Just because a person is a stronger biotic, a bullet to brain, or a sword to the gut will still kill that person regardless. And there is no such thing as a fair fight. Exactly. These charge-loving fools don't get it. We should eat them. So Jack could be an asari commando but not Cora? Even though the game states Cora had good enough biotics and training to do so? Is it ever quantified how much biotics you need to "be an asari commando"? The whole thing sounds like a glorified exchange program. They'd pick someone who could handle the training, obviously. But that doesn't necessarily mean they'd be asari level biotics since presumably the training would be more than just biotic lifting.

If you want an example of what asari commandos can do at their prime...look at Tala vasir and Aria.
