*Spoilers for Star Fox 64 ITT*

Personal Pilot Rankings:
Fox>Wolf>Leon>Falco>Bill>Kat>Pigma>Peppy>Andrew>Slippy

I think Slippy and Andrew definitely fail, while Wolf and Leon could get the job done.

I doubt Peppy and Pigma could do it. Not sure on Bill and Kat.

Falco over Leon in canon IMO. I'd probably put James at the top though.

Was going off of what I saw in-game, and what I saw was Star Fox get owned by Star Wolf in every encounter. Really didn't know what to do about James, since Peppy escapes and he doesn't.

I dunno, I think Peppy in his youth maybe, but I have a hard time seeing the Peppy we fight with in the actual games pulling it off

Probably up through Bill or Kat in the rankings on the first post.

Peppy in his heyday, yes. The Peppy that we know? No.

Not at all to Pigma, Andrew or Slippy.

Yeah but Pigma also betrayed James, so it's not really going it alone at that point.

I'd like to think that James could solo Andross, but without knowing the nature and extent of Pigma's betrayal, it's hard to rank him. All you get from the prologue about the original Star Fox's trip to Venom is that Peppy survives and James doesn't.

If you disregard Star Fox jobbing to Star Wolf as a gameplay device, then maybe. I think Wolf definitely take Falco in the Wolfen II.

They're both essentially rivals of Fox, the only difference being allegiance.

It would make sense for all three of them to be of similar skill, with Fox doing the hero thing and just edging them out in dramatic fashion.

Fox, Wolf, and maybe Falco could do it.

For more fun, does anyone think any of Cecil Harvey (FF4), Cid Highwind (FF7), or Sazh Katzroy (FFXIII) are good enough pilots to beat Andross? Like, either with whatever ships they'd use or with an arwing.

Slippy could easily do it. The whole he gets in trouble thing only happens when he has to pick up the team's slack.

Through that logic random pilot A from Corneria could take out Andross.

A random pilot is not an ace mechanic like Slippy. He has the heart, the knowledge, and the experience to beat Andross. Slippy is the man.

Cecil's kinda a pilot. He was commander of the Red Baron's specifically because of it, with his short description saying "The mysterious young man who possesses unsurpassable skills in swordsmanship and airship navigation."

And Sazh isn't too impressive in XIII, but come XIII-2, he's stated to be the best pilot in their world. His Eidolon gestalt mode controlling isn't bad either.

And I agree about Cid yes, Sazh nah, and Cecil huh?

I'd say no to Cecil, as I don't know how well navigating an airship would translate to piloting a fighter jet, and I don't think a Final Fantasy style ship would be sensible.

I agree that Cid could, as he seems adept with mutiple vehicles.

Fox, Wolf, Falco, and Leon, I think. Leon might be iffy. I'm not sure what "go it alone" entails here. If it means "beat Andross solo at least 6 out of 10 times"? Then maybe just Fox. It's hard to tell how powerful Andross is supposed to be in a straight fight. Those four could all give him a good fight, though.

Peppy, not even in his heydey. James? I have no idea. He seems like a really smooth pilot during the ending sequence, but other than that we only see him when we control him during Command.

Setzer could totally do it. Setzer's probably a better pilot than Fox. You put Setzer in an Arwing, he probably solos Final Fantasy VI and every Star Fox game in one sitting.

Speaking of characters outside of SF that could take Andross, Wash could do it blindfolded. He's a leaf on the wind...

Where does Phantom Menace Anakin Skywalker fall on this scale? This is very important.

He could not go it alone with Andross.

It's hard to say.

Not Slippy, that's for sure. But other than him, I can't see why anyone else couldn't.

Falco for some reason is canonatically the best pilot in SF because of the the adventures manga thing where he beats Fox 1v1, Wolf is supposed to be Near or at Fox's Skill.


Don't think Cecil is. Cid probably. Dunno about Sazh

Falco is the better pilot, yes, but does he have the heart/courage/purity of soul to defeat Andross?

They really should have just sent Falco to take care of Andross.

Falco > Fox >= Wolf > Leon > whatever

I don't think Falco would get overconfident against anyone he figured was worth his effort.

At the very least, not against Andross.

Wasn't Falco's impulsiveness used more in a... He gets bored easily/likes to go looking for fights type of way? Like, that's why he leaves the team a few times or whatever. I don't remember it ever actually working against him once he's actually in a fight/etc.

That seems about right, but I was willing to disagree with it more on the idea that anyone would get cocky against Andross.
