Shepard and Ryder gets into a fist fight. Who wins?

I always loved how Shepard didn't know whether to be insulted or not, that the Geth felt Shepard would be most comfortable using debugging software if it looked like a BFG. Makes me wonder what it'd appear like to other people, would Tali have seen it as an omni-tool/combat drone?

If it was Wrex it'd be a claymore. 

I was being cheeky about Shepard, as the Mary Sue definition applies very loosely. I think with the botched launch and issues with the story made the Ryder character at the story's outset a whipping boy/girl for some of the more histrionic detractors.  Beyond legit problems with the protagonists dialogue and little control over his/her personality for the player, some people just can't handle that Ryder was a more ordinary person thrown into an extraordinary situation. Shepard's situation was obviously extraordinary from the outset of ME1, but he/she was the XO of humanity's finest cutting edge combat/recon vessel after a highly decorated career as a top elite soldier already. Then he/she became the first human spectre.

I just notice a correlation between the most emphatic pathological hate over ME:A and those who hate Ryder for reasons beyond clunky characterization. Shepard was young boy fantasy.

Hmm, who wins? The cyborg commando who came back from the dead with a vengeance or the wet-behind-the-ears rookie?

Very difficult choice.

The real question is. Who would win in a fistfight: Shepard, Ryder or Doomslayer? My money is on Doomslayer.

How is that even a question? Even Inquisitor would beat down Ryder.

I'm pretty certain this is less the goal than this. It's not a serious discussion, though the occasional conversation slips into the thread.

Who would win? I thought that was pretty clear by the title...

Nobody said you had to be in it...

To the 16 people in this thread who voted "Ryder" - I want whatever you're smoking right now and it's kinda rude not to share. Just sayin'

It was you earth clan that ruined the Extranet. 

True.

I mean, I beat the blazes out of all kinds of Shepards in the Arena (that was a good fight).

I agree with this statement
