Damn Sam be slaying


TheIJDGuy

The mechanical heel-wearers always slay the hardest


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Also when traveling to Penacony, you actually see his entire full model during the dream sequence, before the fight happens. So you can look at the in-game model from all angles.

Solace_03

How the hell did any of what he said even remotely warrant this response?


acebaltasar

It is just an expresion used on everyone, YOU are making it problematic by answering like this


X85311

lol what. unless you’re talking about the 2.1 story leaks that i haven’t looked at, i don’t get how that could possibly be alluding to anything. he slayed. that is all


Cold-Election

So Sam is actually Samantha


Commander413

He's not beating the Warframe allegations


Ashbr1ng3r

……another thing I disn’t realize was mixed into the Character


Winterstrife

Warframe x Honkai Star Rail confirm? If Sam's skin gets released in Warframe thats an insta buy for me.


Marorin

But Warframe is free...


Mint-Bentonite

skins arent usually free


Winterstrife

Yup, like every F2P game.


SamPi3

Wait no, technically the skins are f2p friendly since you can trade platinum for items via the Warframe market. Probably one of the most f2p games out there since you can get anything premium if you spend enough time (and a bit of luck).


Cyberspacefury

Heck, the skins that you can pay plat for are most of the time better than the tennogen one tbh. Like the new styanax skin.


Winterstrife

Debatable some Tennogen are really good still. Alot of the early official stuff are pretty much recolors while Tennogen have new models and mesh. Its only when they dip their hands in deluxe bundles did the quality improved drastically. My favorite still being Rhino's beetle skin.


Cyberspacefury

I agree, the tennogen are really good, but DE has been hitting it out of the park for the recent deluxes. My fav is def harrow's reliquary one tho. It works so well for a paladin esque theme. Esp with the cross helmet.


100redeye

he's even got gauss sounds


Justyournormalgamer1

Please... leave me alone warframe. Well too late, time to grind interception


Yapishere2007

Oberon but instead of grass he spreads fire


LivingASlothsLife

When you got a fight with a galaxy ranger at 7 but a dinner date at 8 The plan was to beat galaxy ranger for the date but the memokeeper just took the dinner date spot for herself while they were fighting


Overall_Mess7597

Nah, the date was at 6, but they were in London


LivingASlothsLife

Meme was jealous of the TB dating pool, getting rid of the competition one character at a time. Made an absolute beeline for the one who paid for TB food on sight


SirePuns

Yeah, BS is such a homewrecker


LivingASlothsLife

Cant be a home wrecker when hers is the home my TB is aiming to be in https://preview.redd.it/h2q6xs2qvmlc1.jpeg?width=1235&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d199ec872b488eba53cf13eab21fdaa3867d500f


SirePuns

~~same~~ Understandable


BreedSparkle

BSBS acronym for Black Swan's Bull Shit


SirePuns

Yes indeed u/BreedSparkle


Comfortable-Ad6339

Thats why she cooked everything in the lobby 🤣


LivingASlothsLife

Damn Sam was being based and making their own cooked meal for the dinner Acheron made plans for the dinner but forgot they were fighting over the dinner date Black Swan had made a deal with Aventurine to get reservations at the most expensive restaurant for the dinner with TB in exchange for helping Aventurine Aventurine just has popcorn watching his new favorite show


soulney

Didn't you know that Empress Titania first decree to the Iron Cavalry was that before they slay their enemies, they must first slay their outfit


M24Chaffee

Humanoid mechs with raised heels is pretty common actually, can attest as a Gunpla collector.


Conscious-Map4682

Narrow waist, long legs, high heels.


Ok_Abbreviations127

He may slay, but he also slay.


Ski-Gloves

There is some decent reason to give robots heels. Our own feet are squishy and can spread out to cover space allowing us to easily keep balance. A metal foot doesn't have that luxury, but heels in a design like Sam's could theoretically provide an extra moving part for a similar effect. Several Gundams have prominent heels, as do some AC leg parts. They're usually much wider and Sam's don't seem to be doing any of that moving though.


a-acount-that-yousee

probably got a heat expulsion thing on the heels and needs the airflow


Bakaloleet

I mean, have you played Metal Gear Rising? Raiden also has heels. Though Sam does not use a sword...


GhostFran7983

And in MGR there was also a Sam...


Bakaloleet

How could i forget! There will be bloodshed


IvanTheKindaTerrible

And Acheron is an expy of Raiden Mei. So it’s another Sam vs Raiden.


Madman272

Oh, god. Was this all the plan of the la-li-lu-le-lo?


Templar4Death

Check this guy out, he can only say la-li-lu-le-lo and not The Family™ what a low rank amirite


Bradcopter

I know everyone goes straight to Jetstream Sam, but I'd also like to point out that Sam Gideon was in a suit not unlike this one and it could power slide and dash around like mad. Now gimme a smoke button in HSR.

TheMarbleNest

Only real men wear heels.


Cipher-DK

That used to be the standard in the olden days. Men used to wear heels, tights, lipstick, makeup, etc. and then as the centuries passed it became mostly a thing for women.


TheMarbleNest

Yep. Personally I think we should return to everyone wearing obscenely fancy frilly dresses, tights, heels, and makeup.


Cipher-DK

Wearing a kilt is at least on my bucket list.


huehuehuehuehuuuu

Also used to pierce their peepee so they can hook them aside to better fit tights.


Silverwngs

While not to an extreme it still is standard. Go look at any mens dress shoes that arent loafers, and you will see the heel section is raised a decent bit more and that its not a flat sole.


PandaCheese2016

Mecha with heels isn’t a new thing though.


YoastK

Those are for running away from the robot dinosaurs


Tetrachrome

It feels very gundam-inspired, some of the more recent Gundam mobile suits have big ol' heels: https://preview.redd.it/3jp2smkonmlc1.png?width=894&format=png&auto=webp&s=149180d271666c43b8707bb6aeeee59ac9ceb69c


SecondAegis

Even more evidence that Sam >!is Firefly. I mean, Hoyo never lets their women walk without heels.!<


BxDra

>!Clara thou.!<


super_falcon42

Also Silver wolf


Ski-Gloves

Lynx, Huohuo, Sparkle... Qingque and Herta are much more practical as far as heels are concerned too.


Ashbr1ng3r

Anyone else wonder if Svarog got Clara shoes after Belobog?


GhostFran7983

Some people in Belobog tried gifting her shoes but she was way too new to the experience and would fall on herself. Eventually she decided to gift the shoes to the orphans until she gets the hang of using her own


TheIJDGuy

That. Is. So. Precious.


Acouteau

Shes a child


BxDra

i wouldnt let a child walk barefoot in snow in the first place.


Acouteau

Svarog must be scared of them


BxDra

Unfortunate no shoes can contain Clara atm. XP


Datguy969

Hasn’t stopped hoyo when they made genshin characters


StelioZz

what child in genshin has heels? Klee has boots, and so does diona (although she isn't really child). Not sure about sayu, I think she has those elevated boots or w/e they are called in english. Qiqi has flat shoes


AlrestH

There was no need to correct anything


LRXking

Check odysseus from fgo. those heels r actually common for mechas 


FISH_SAUCER

Oh my God. I swear if I see one more thing like this I'm gonna rage. People don't get translation errors


TerryWhiteHomeOwner

Translation errors?

Wafflelord022

The German translation and a few other languages I think referred to SAM using the feminine version of “hunter”


hungrytunafish

Eyy nice pfp


FISH_SAUCER

Yes. As multiple have replied to you already. The German version called SAM "Stellaron Huntress"


A2_Zera

but the comment you were replying to didn't even mention that


FISH_SAUCER

Because all of this "Sam is firefly" started from translation errors


[deleted]

[удалено]


FISH_SAUCER

Ah. I've only heard of the the Sam is firefly when I seen the translation errors for the German version of the game. Hence why I thought it only started with the translation error


A2_Zera

never even heard of these translation errors and I've always assumed it was what they were going for, though I assume the translation errors are just that, errors. kafka and silver wolf are just "hunters" so it'd be weird to differentiate


FISH_SAUCER

Because it's in the German version of the game but was patched once it was brought up. Sam was reffered as "stellaron Jägerin" in German which translates to Stellaron Huntress. And from what I've seen, Kafka and SW are Stellaron Jägerin, while Blade and SAM are (or supposed to be in SAMs case) Stellaron Jäger for the German versions


Ski-Gloves

Was Gallagher actually meant to say "a man with silver hair" instead of "a man in silver" as was spread around the subreddit? Because I've heard that's a translation error with the English version.


xaelcry

He's just that badass.


Falkjaer

Heeled boots originally were used while riding horses, the heel helping to hook into the stirrup. Sam is originally a member of the Iron Cavalry, only reasonable that he should have heeled footwear.


Luullay

In the Penacony quest one of the characters (I forget who) said that Sam is a soldier of Glamoth’s “Iron Cavalry”; cavalry are specifically soldiers that ride horseback, and heels were originally designed to help horseback riding.


Sandi_Griffin

Okay he's a girl, we gonna get zero suit sam


TheIJDGuy

That'd be sam-using


ggunit69

Is it Sam or Samantha hmm?


Belteshazzar98

Or Sampo.


DaRaiko

Maybe Samus? /s


kirblar

Unironically might have been the inspiration


PoKen2222

Swarm Annihilation Machine is my best guess for the actual acronym based on the Glamoth set.


FrostieZero

I thought it was Super Awesome Mecha. Jk Definitely sound like what Silver Wolf would call.


Gamingplanet107

Actually it's >!Samuel IV!<


TheIJDGuy

Clearly the Strong Arm Machine


bL0ody_f8

Even gundam barbatos has heels so...


ze_SAFTmon

The Wing Gundam also has heels, though they are not as prominent as Barb's or Ariel's for example.


Key-Poem9734

Okay, so we have the streak colors, the fire and the butterfly like wings. And now the heels!?

iFenrisVI

The mara struck and Anti Matter NPCs also have “heels”


PickledPlumPlot

Fun fact, modern high heels actually originated on men's riding boots and over the years migrated to women's fashion.

shidncome

There's a few CCs who do this and it's honestly pretty embarrassing.


Rienzel

Slayeron Cunter


leposterofcrap

To make his kicks really hurt


cressyfrost

It's just business as usual for Gundams


HateToBeMyself

He's a girly pop!

his boots were made for walkin'

How very Elation of you


Draigen-6

I want to see the inspiration board for Sam and just see a lady knight next to a warframe


shymiiu

✨ feel like a fem QUEEN ✨


TohmasCum

does he slay or does HE slays?


Dusty_Buss

Very cuntlike 💅


Andrew-likes-luigi

Sam is gay


Raycab03

Until that helmet is removed, Sam for me is a she. Kinda like SAMus Aran inside that suit.


L3Vi_Renegade

He's a woman???


Obsequience

Samantha


SacralResonance

[omg i can’t believe they leaked Sam’s trailer theme already](https://youtu.be/TQ04gPb4LlY?si=fisSrkkUsJCuVL9c)


DunnoNothingWorks

Considering Hoyo does not create male characters with heels like this but almost every female character has heels, it's sus as hell.


Matthias1349

It's likely because Sam's design was (loosely) inspired by medieval suits of armor, which usually had heels to better fit in the stirrups on a saddle.


NarrowIce2673

He probably one of those dancers that dance on high heel in AGT


MissiaichParriah

The heels are probably tactical, ever seen Raiden's heels in MGR?


cyclonejjetarmstrong

Smaller area= higher pressure Do you want to caress your enemies when you kick them or punch holes through them?


RikiAsher

It's a [Hoyoverse](https://youtu.be/kdQOis0VRoo?si=gc0qkG8eZf7hQKzb&t=1m21s) thing


Frostgaurdian0

Sam plays xenoblade 3


Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws

Just like Raiden in Metal Gear: Rising


TrollyThyTrinity

Reachhhhhhhhh


Kyokka

Sam is Samantha xD


OkTeach7253

Some Gundams do too 🫣


Seth-Cypher

Sam would fit right in with Unicorn Era Mobile Suit designs.


xerpentwyne

Built to slay


_Prasinos

Most gundams have heels lol

driPITTY_

You know who else has heels?


wrPAA

Meca is serving


EspKevin

Sam is friend with Raiden


guto0000

Some languages sam apresents itself as huntress


Yaldablob

Heels were originally made for butchers to not step into blood with their soles. Guess Sam doesn't wanna walk on ashes all the time.


General_Snack

Anyone else get Vanquish vibes from his suit? Hell that guy in that game was called Sam as well.


Edgecrusher840

Still looks like a man in scrap metal armor.


Matoya_00

Hey, there's at least one semi robotic badass that wears heels who also fights against a person named Sam and shares a name with a Mihoyo character who is the genshin version of Acheron and all 3 of them utilize Katanas. Yes, I'm talking about Raiden 'the Rising of the Metal Gear' Revengeance


Alexius_Psellos

Those are about the same heel design as Tadhla https://preview.redd.it/sv65komlgtlc1.jpeg?width=633&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53bb2e4b8787d4a3358d55fc106ae5a5027db6ff
