Thu'um Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 through out three games we have had three diffrent factions threaten laylat and the very existance of the planet corneria, Each time only to be beaten back and defeated by fox and his team. But which threat was the most creditable? -Andross -Apariods -Anglers they all start with A. I personaly saw the apariods as the bigest threat. Against them numbers were usless as your fallin commrades become the substance of their own force and they were all together more coehsive. They also multyplyed at increiable rates.

El Zorro de la Estrella Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Aparoids. They were an overwhelming force that used EVERYTHING to add to their numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shaper Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I'm thinking Andross was the most "successful" of the A trio. He started off winning and continued to win until he was killed and he targeted everything in the system on screen. The Aparoids probably had the potential to be the biggest threat but they just didn't attack fast enough or attack enough places to cripple the system completely. But they did manage to destroy the entire Cornerian fleet, which is almost an accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Orange Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Apariods the Borg of the SF world! It's interesting how a team of pilots could take down a force so massive, and how a whole army couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shaper Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 star fox wasn't able to drive back the apariods though he had to go for a death blow against the queen, he was able to liberate several planets from andros though That's why I said they had potential to be the greatest of them. But once their queen was defeated they all were, as opposed to Andross's army (or at least some of it) surviving to be lead by Oikonny against the Cornerian Fleet, possibly even beating them. Andross's early success was probably due to Star Fox's late reply to the danger which gave him time to take over most of the system and hold onto it before he was killed. Otherwise my vote may have shifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shaper Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Oikonny seemed to poor a leader to make any effective use of the reaming bit of andross'es forces The point there was that Andross (or at least his army) returned to threaten the system twice after his destruction. If the Anglars were indeed his creation you could count that as three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Aparoids, because of the mind-control technology-merging thing and the desire to actually exterminate the Lylatians. Andross just wanted control, but I doubt his intention was to actually destroy Lylat (he does say "destroy" in Adventures but that's after derping around the game as a ghost with magic powers and didn't make much sense to begin with), and the Anglars were just too silly to take seriously. I agree with Emperoroflylat though in that, while the Aparoids seemed more immediately dangerous, Andross and his kin have been the most successful in doing anything.

Star Fox Runner Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Definitely the Aparoids, they were about to overwhelm EVERYTHING in the Lylat System, and who knows how many systems before that. And to top it off, it managed to make Star Fox and Star Wolf work together, now THAT'S when you know things are screwed up. Besides. Giant floating monkey head, or a cold calculating female hive mind that can turn memories of your friends and deceased father against you to drive you mad. Which one do you think is legitimately more scary? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gestalt Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The aparoids had no remorse which meant machine-like execution...which their greatest strength while ultimately their downfall as machines can never beat out intellect... Now Andross was living maniac who had a lot of intellegence and a vast army to carry out his will. He was able to effectively overcome every threat--including the cornerian army--by way of logic Short and simple-- it took balls to destroy the Aparoids... (cuz they were scary) But, it took skill to take out Andross... Now I can't comment on the Anglars cuz I ain't played that game yet...But I hope they ressurect Andross in a new game and that he's badder than ever. :andross: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gestalt Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 So who do you think was a bigger threat? I point out the facts...so U can better decide But if I must choose, myself...Then Andross ALL AROUND was the was the worst conflict Lylat ever incountered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Elite Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Of the three, and i refuse to even consider Anglars. I think the Aparoids, they possessed more destructive ability and better numbers, and seemed to be a formidable villian. Andross was clever and ambitious enough to be a treat, but Fox carved through his plans like a hot knife through butter, and then he defeated Andross twice. (three times if we count Farewell Beloved Falco) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxMcCloud Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Apariods the Borg of the SF world! It's interesting how a team of pilots could take down a force so massive, and how a whole army couldn't. Well the Star Fox team had the opportunity to do so and made it to the home planet. Destroy the queen and destroy the rest. It is also what they did in Star Trek Voyager, killed the queen and destroyed the Borg, also they cut them off from the Alpha Quadrant after destroying the Transwarp tunnels leading to the Alpha Quadrant.

Gestalt Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 But if I must choose, myself...Then Andross ALL AROUND was the was the worst conflict Lylat ever incountered Well now that I've thought on it. The Apariods were the closet to actually taking over the lyat cuz everybody was more focused on Andrew and I admit that their attack was formidable since it was a surprise and nobody was really ready for them... They almost wiped out corneria...Killed General Pepper...destroyed Sauria...and ripped the Star Fox team apart Yet in theory they were still the easiest to take out...Destroy the queen and U've got them by the balls Now Andross actually had followers in the galaxy. We find that his doctrine still influences his followers of present day that they will one day rule over lylat. So even though he is now dead...his infamous legacy still lives on I bet little kids on Corneria still tremble at the mention of his name....ANDROSS...so cleary his campaign to reform the cornerian goverment (which if u ask me they still need reform of some sort since they can't protect their galaxy very well) is still a lasting mark thus the most creditable in lylat history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salem Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Andross and the Apariods are a bit hard to deside between but the anglers Pff ok I don't like the game that much but the anglers didn't do much damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulvokunvrii Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 AParoids becasue they're like the annoying bug versions of the borg. They'll capture/infect you and turn you into one ofthem and abosrb your soul. I you didn't co-operate, they killed you and everyone you loved. Seems pretty threantening to me.

sroberson Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Aparoids, easily. With Andross and the Anglers at least they tried to reshape the galaxy in a way that would still allow sentient life forms. The Aparoids were basically a hivemind virus that would have resulted in the death of all life as "we" know it. Andross and the Anglers could have caused more damage overall...but the Aparoids had the greatest possibility for destruction simply for the sake of destruction.

Scourge Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Gotta be Andross and the Venomian fleets. Corneria actually had a half decent fleet by the time the Aparoids showed up, and the Anglers were just a generic threat in a BS-fully bad game so therefore they are disqualified.

You sure that wouldn't just disqualify Command? Assault looks mildly better than Command, but to me, the way Command played out, the Anglars were rather harmless. I'd probably say Aparoids since there could in theory out-number all the residents of Lylat and kill everyone. If I said Andross, it would just be because he's supposed to be genius and all.

DZComposer Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Definitely not the Anglars. Especially since the game implied that Andross created them (Emperor Anglar said something along the lines of "our creator's old nemesis" in reference to Star Fox). Andross did the most total damage, though Lore-wise, Aparoids were the most dangerous: "An entire fleet was destroyed by a single Aparoid," which the Aparoids apparently conveniently failed to send any of this type during their invasion of Lylat, nor defend their planet with it.

Redeemer Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Wow, this topic is older than I expecticated it to be! o3o I'd say the Aparoids. They were the most urgent threat, hell, they're horror-movie material in my opinion. Andross of course, as everyone has said, did the most damage over a long space of time, but Aparoids are something you just can't and shouldn't underestimate.
