^That was my response at first as well.

If you're thinking of who would've won in a fight, I'm not really sure.

Corneria may be sligthly(Yes, sligthly, the Starfox tech isn't THAT much more advanced than ours. 100 years or so, and we'll be there I guess.) more high tech. But the whole planet seems very small and geared towards peace in comparison to earth. Also, we've all seen how imcompetent the Cornerian defense force is when they fail to push back an invasion that four pilots later stop single handly.

now if your going to go into diffrence in the planes I assumed pollution is a lot lower on corneria..

What has that to do if who would win a war? Besides, the amount of polution differs various places on earth as well. Scandinavia have so clean air and water one would never have guessed humanity had created industry at all if one lived here.

well the topic din't state that it was a war it could be a comparison.

[Asper Sarnoff]

Meh, peaceful comparison is boring. War FTW

Corneria is better than Earth

Corneria is better than Earth

Explain please?

[Guest DRL]

Well, I think that Corneria has superior technology to Earth, less pollution, and the spacefaring ability gives them access to more resources. However, if aliens attack Earth, the UN is likely to deploy a multi-national force (in X-COM style) to catch up the technological lead and fight them. Or so I think. Alone each nation is a relatively weak target (there are some exeptions, but even those cases in the long term you can not hold on forever.)

Once a few alien ships have been captured, reverse-engineered and researched, eventually Earth will be able to fight them back. Can not say we can beat them in their own turf, but at least the Sol system will be secured by the humans.

Totally!

What pollution are everyone talking about!?! The snow here is as clean as the whitest skies, one can safely drink from every water or stream you find, and the air is so clean, deep and good to breathe in that it is unbelivable.

As for technology and space travel. "Patience grashoppa'!" we will be there one day, sooner than you might expect.

The only reason I see is because it is inhabited by anthromorpic animals. And as a light furry, I can see the appeal in that.

However, is it sure you would end up to be the anthromorpic animal you would like to be? Just like you might be american, british, german or of any other nationality here on earth, one might end up as a pig, or a duckbill on Corneria.

Bollocks. Beaten to it.

I think winning for earth would be easy. Let's face it, corneria was taken out by a bunch of idiots numberous times. (apparoids are a genuine threat though)

If we allow fictional people into the fight. We could just send in commando, or john maclain, or steven segal.

If we add games. Sending in fear pointman (or even alma if you can get close to her without being turned inside out) The mercaneries from the game of the same name. Soap. Turok. Rainbow 6. All lead by that EU general from Endwar.

If we allow future earthicans. Master Chief. Done. If post Halo 3, we have Elites as allies. Get on blower, and ask for backup. Done. I neednt mention Shepard and crew.

Hell. Even that dude from saints row could do some damage, if not win outright.

[Asper Sarnoff]

And also, Corneria doesn't have Mr. T, or Chuck Norris.

Or we could just send in me and call it a day. Corneria would have been reduced to ashes in a matter of days.

[Guest DRL]

Come on people, I was talking seriously.

About pollution, yes, just google for the Riachuelo in Argentina and I bet 1.000.000 Pesos that they do not have anything like that on Corneria.

Of course the Cornerian forces are foolish, which would give terran pilots some advantage, but there is still the technological diference. Yeah, their fighters would not be unbeatable, but in the hands of a group of skilled pilots (and I just do not mean only Star Fox) they would be able to take down entire air forces.

Even if they are still stupid, they could send in more and more until Earth just can not hold. Country after country would fall and eventually the Cornerian flag will stand high in all terran lands. That is why I mentioned the fact that then we will need a multi-national force like XCOM. At first it will not do any good, but in the long term the combined might of Earth would do it.

Also a lot of vixens reside on Corneria :D

[Vy'drach]

What, are they going to try and seduce us for a victory?

Anyway lol, I believe Corneria could win because they are technologically more advanced (flying tanks, anyone?), and the reason Andross was able to cause such damage to Corneria is because General Pepper didn't actually try to resist until he came to Corneria, and he is not in charge of the Cornerian military anymore, Peppy, who was one of the 4 pilots that kicked Andross in the face and told him, "No," is, and I imagine he might be more effective at smashing Earth than Pepper was at smashing Andross.

[Guest DRL]

Even if they lacked good leadership, they would eventually win. Earth vs. Corneria is pretty much the same to Earth vs. Lylat. Superior technology and numbers (you can not deny this, remember that to colonize other worlds you need a good deal of population on the homeworld) would give all the needed advantajes. The terrans, being terrans, would unlikely unite under a single flag (even though I mention it would be the only way to win, it is unlikely they would do it).

So, nation after nation would simply be conquered.

...Maybe I can negotiate with the invaders so I can be the new governor of my country, if they decide to leave it as a province  .

Corneria could kick our asses  :lol:

To resume it all, you are correct.

That's awesome!

If Corneria and Earth went to war, I would SO betray planet Earth and help pave the way for Cornerian invasion.  :lol:

[Guest FoXXX]

Me too, screw this place :D

[Guest DRL]

In this specific case, I would play traitor too. Maybe they will let me govern my country. And maybe I could finally get my furry gf too  .

TWO WORDS.

EARTHCORNERIA PWNS!!

[Asper Sarnoff]

To me it seems Corneira simply doesn't have much military power to speak of at all. Check out the intro of Assault, that's not a large fleet considering it's the entire armada of a planet. Corneria have trough the years always tried other solutions to war. Much like how the allies tried to feed Hitler to keep him from war, I imagine they did the similar with Andross. And when they realised war was inevtiable, they were unprepared and with to weak a military to stop the venomian forces, which in turn was stopped and pushed back by a four man team.

Another thing that hints at Corneria, and most of the planet in the Lylat system actually being quite small, and therefore not able to support a large population to go to war with, is that the they are all able to jump surprisingly high, and have a neck anatomy that on earth would have trouble supporting their large heads.

Due to gravity being proportional with a planets mass, Corneria, and all the other planets of the Lylat system, have to be smaller than earth, or have a lighter core made up of various gasses.
