Mei Ling

From the Super Mario Wiki

Mei Ling talking with Solid Snake about Zero Suit Samus.

“Ooh, how cuute!”
—Mei Ling, commenting on Pikachu, Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Mei Ling is a character from the Metal Gear Solid Series. She is the one who invented Snake's wireless communication equipment, the Codec. After the player saves the game in Metal Gear Solid, she gives Snake advice by telling him Chinese proverbs and quotations by Western authors.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mei-Ling can analyze some characters in the game, like Zero Suit Samus and Pikachu, giving tips to Snake about them. This occurs only when playing as Snake in the stage Shadow Moses Island (which is the setting of the game Metal Gear Solid.)

• Captain Olimar & Pikmin
• Ice Climbers
• Lucario
• Lucas
• Marth

[edit] Quotes

[edit] About Zero Suit Samus

• Solid Snake: Mei Ling, Samus took her clothes off!
• Mei Ling: That's just her in the Zero Suit, Snake.
• Snake: Hmm, without that bulky Power Suit, she's gotten a lot more agile... You know, I bet if I took off all this heavy gear, I could catch her.
• Mei Ling: Um, yeah, you wish. Even without the Power Suit, all that training she did with the Chozo has made her a super athlete. I don't think a normal human could ever keep up. Just look at her.
• Snake: ...Her loss.

[edit] About Captain Olimar and Pikmin

• Mei Ling: Snake, have you ever heard of the ancient Chinese story, "The Vain Ocean of Wealth and Splendor" from the Zhen Zhong Ji?
• Snake: I've been waiting for the movie.
• Mei Ling: Basically, it's meant to express the impermanence of all things. You know, like even when Captain Olimar has lots of Pikmin with him, they could all be gone the next moment. Those poor little guys... They carry, they fight, they multiply...and they get eaten. Olimar might have lots of company one minute, and be all alone the next. (sighs) It's so sad.
• Snake: But he can pluck out more Pikmin anytime he wants, right?
• Mei Ling: Well... Yeah, I suppose so.
• Snake: No one truly fights alone. Not even me.
• Mei Ling: (giggles) ...You're absolutely right, Snake. Good luck! I'm rooting for you.
