I can't tell what's happening in that picture.
Edit: Derp, was (trying) to read from top-right to bottom-left.

Kang is using a VR type system to project a giant hard light version of himself into space.
Cap uses an alien spaceship to do the same and they fight in outer space.

Sure, why not?
I always thought it was understood that Cap and Bats could stand toe to toe but for the fact that Cap has infinite stamina. The only way Bats could win was by prep time or gadgets.

Oh geeze you have to be kidding me, people honestly believe Captain America can beat Master Chief?
Ignoring feats accomplished you have to realize that Master Chief is pretty much Captain America, only futuristic and better equipped.

Thunderstrike was basically Thor-lite. Estimated at somewhere between 75 and 100 tons.
Chief can flip the Elephant, which is 250 tons.
Chief's also got enhanced reaction time, even if it doesn't translate to 1:1 bullet time in the games. A fan theory is that it's the reason Banshees (purply Covenant aircraft) feel like they're flying so slow most of the time, while in a pre-Halo 3 live action short or two, from the perspective of a single Marine, Banshees are zooming around fast as fighter jets.
How does plasma affect Vibranium? Or hardlight, for that matter? Will it absorb kinetic energy from solids, liquids and gases only? Would an Energy Sword cut through it? Can Plasma Grenades be stuck to it?

Better equipped? Cap's shield is all he needs. Master Chef can shoot at it all day, but it is indestructible.

MC should have just armor locked till cap got tired.

How does the shield hold up against energy and plasma weaponry? In addition to Halo 4 particle disintegration? I recall Cap's shield has been disintegrated before.
But let's give the benefit of the doubt to the Cap's shield. How will he hold up to the Chief in terms of strategy and tactics? Note this is the Chief who was abducted as a child and forced under rigorous military training since then, eventually becoming a one-man army. In addition to possessing a sassy AI whose computations far exceed the processing of a human, super-enhanced/mutant or not.
This.
Cap's shield has been destoryed 4 times. Once by Molecule Man, Doctor Doom with the power of teh Beyonder, Thanos with the infinity gauntlet, and most recent by The Serpent the brother of Odin.

An Incineration Cannon round would make pretty quick work of Cap, right? Nothing in the rulebook about the secondary projectiles being nullified, even if it hit the shield. Keep in mind the secondary explosions immolate Spartans on a regular basis.

Assuming he's using his regular shield, right?
technically that's a sim. With variable parameters.

Cap doesn't need the shield. He has superhuman reflexes able to evade bullets.

As much as Cap is top tier comic book hero, don't forget that Master Chief is 7'2" in armor and close to 1k in mass.

That's enough for me to say John 117 over Cap any day.

Cap has taken down Mr.Hyde and The Armadillo, both about 8 feet and heavyweights.

a better actor
Sometimes I think he is playing his character from Scott Pilgrim who wasn't supposed to be a good actor -- perfect casting for that role.

Now that we're on the subject, what's "canon" difficulty in-universe, Heroic?
If Cap can destroy Iron Man's armor, i bet he can do the same to the SPARTAN armor
MC has super human strength too, and armour from ~500 years in the future. Both always win, one's better equiped.

It would be Cap's win
I understand that MC was trained from a young age, given enhancements, and has future tech but he still hasn't faced an enemy that could be considered his equal (as far as my Halo knowledge goes). Cap's been in situations where he's had to overcome odds, fighting enemies that are futuristic, supernatural, and alien. Cap has the experience to know how to deal with someone like MC.

K now imagine Cap America vs Cap America in Ironman suit. The latter is the Chief but even better.

ITT: A superhuman made in the 1900s defeats a superhuman made in the 2500s because comic books.
It can be the other way round if you take gameplay literally*. e.g. Sword Cancelling or Flying, telepathically Elephant flipping, phasing through walls, super bouncing etc.
Hell, he survived reentry, twice.
Comic book Captain America is even more OP, tbh. The difference between book Master Chief and game Master Chief is mostly reaction time and running speed.
IMO:
Comics CA>EU MC
Game MC>Movie CA
*As far as I know, gameplay isn't canon, but if it is... my god.

So now you guys are claiming not only will MC beat Cap (which is silly) but that he's somehow going toe to toe with the always silly Ironman ito power?
lol
Elites are as strong or stronger than Captain America. And Brutes are even stronger. And the flood are yet even stronger versions of the aforementioned.
Yup. The whole point of the Spartan program was as a last ditch effort to compete on a galactic scale because every alien we faught was so much stronger than we are.
They are all technically stronger than him, but he overcomes it through his pure badassery.
Just saying an Ironman suit doesn't mean anything.
Ironman has shit like Thorbuster and Hulkbuster that puts him near the levels of these things and MC doesn't have shit against that.
Given Cap can and has taken on things that not only are above MC but pretty much are the Halo's themselves in destructive force I don't really see the argument for Chief taking this.
Actually, the whole point of the Spartan program was to combat insurrectionists in the outer colonies. But after the Covenant bodied Harvest and declared holy war against humanity, the program was reoriented for front line combat against the new and greater threat.

It's not about strength, Cap fights enemies that are stronger than him all the time.
I would probably guess that Elites and Brutes fall into the same power category as skrulls or the kree who Cap has had many run-ins with.

Has it been pointed out yet in this thread that the video is likely the alternate ending & not the "canon" one?
White Ranger vs. Scorpion-The proper episode, hosted on BatintheSun's channel
Same fight with alternate ending.
The Cap vs. MC video matches the fomat of the above alt: Machinama instead of BatintheSun, no hosts segments, & very abrupt ending.

all this just makes captain america sound as ridiculous as batgod. he shouldn't be able to beat everybody and everything, but the writers want him to?

Cap has fought the equivalent of what is basically Stark Armor without bells and whistles and has won. Not to diminish the achievements of John but Steve wins hands down.
The bottom line is this is nothing new for Steve. I mean the guy beat Kang. He's fought Ultron, and god knows who else and too many to name. MC has fought the Covenant and the Brood... I mean the Flood. MC is capable but Caps been there and done that.

Well in good writers hands he won't. However he has punched way above his weight limit on several occasions.
He really is the Batman for the MU, however I will say the frequency that they allow stupid shit for Cap is far more in check compared Batman. I don't think they would let Cap take out Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, and Hank Pym all at the same time like they let Batman take out the Justice League.

Totally agree.
Batman given prep time the same as Peter Parker would still lose. People put that psychotic on a level that makes no sense.
master chief is a better character than captain america. more interesting things happen to him and he has a personality. like most comic books captain america suffers from having awful writers that masturbate to their own drawings and have to come up particular circumstances in which he would win every single event.
its like how batman could stand a nuclear explosion or defeat an army of a 100 soldiers firing at him instantly. it's just a little boring and only something that comic book fans would be impressed with.
