How did Solid ever beat Venom?

[Akumati]

I dunno man, according to the story, Solid snake beat Venom snake in a 1v1.

But after playing basically all the games except Portable ops, i don't think Solid snake would ever outmatch Venom, even if he was at his peak.

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear.

Venom is less solid than solid snake, if you know what i mean.

Seriously, once you finish the game you'll find your answer.

Have you played Metal Gear 1 ? If you did you should know that snake blew him up with a rocket launcher. As awesome as Venom can be, I think taking half a dozen rockets straight to his face is quite enough to kill him.

Soldier genes... solid is a full copy... V is just a mental copy... as for solid beating BB? well thats easy... BB let him win.

And in Metal Gear 2, Solid defeat BigBoss using a handmade flamethrower.

Wait didn't Venom let himself, or was told by BB, to lose to make everyone believe BB was gone? As a cover up?

It's left for guess.


My guess is that BB told Venom to surrender and die. (like they did with The Boss)
Venom refused, but Solid bested him. (That's why mid mission BB starts telling Solid wrong information, because it wasn't BB, it was Venom)

Big Boss is weak to rockets to the face.

Well if that case Venom sure was trying to not die in that fight, also doubtful considering BB wanted the Metal Gear which gets destroyed by Solid so I doubt he'd tell Venom to lose, especially more since BB sends you into all of Outer Heavens traps to try & kill Solid because Solid surpassed BB expectations.

Solid was just meant to be somehting to stall Nato from being able to Bomb Outer Heaven so Metal Gear could be finished but when Solid kept being amazing BB got panic & started telling him to take Trap filled routes.

Solid was in Foxhound don't forget they're the most legendary unit along side others like Fox & Cobra, so it's not like he was a nobody & he was trained by Miller.. who hated both Boss's.
Miller hated Jack for abandoning him & Venom for not listening to him, example of that is Venom takes Ocelot's side over Miller all time in this game.

Probably, all the ♥♥♥♥ he survived was bound to catch up at some point.
