Alien or Predator?

[JP9667]

Sry, just trying to make a point with the caps but it is true that the predators can't really win a fight in close combat against the aliens

The Predators for me. They were one of the first things i was introduced to when i was born. They've always been the most spectacular thing to me. I am a Yautja at heart, and soul..they live through me as do i through them..


             Long live the Predators.

Still I take your skull, and you know why

You can have my skull. When you get your own back from my Trophy Wall.

Oh, I see you didn't get it. Well, okay...

My skull stays where it is. You can't take it. But you have my condolences.

Okay, let me put it in a way you can you can understand it. THE PREDATOR IS WEAK WITHOUT HIS SHOULDER CANNON AGAINST AN ALIEN. WITHOUT A SHOULDER CANNON HE IS SCREWED AGAINST AN ALIEN UNLESS THERE IS ANOTHER PREDATOR TO HELP. When did scar start killing aliens? WHEN HE GOT THE SHOULDER CANNON. It's pretty simple. Predators  are screwed once it comes to close combat. They require range to kill one. 

He killed one with the shuriken. Oh, and Celtic pretty much fought Grid well. Oh, and Alexa killed an alien. With a spear.

No its not. The predator in AvP (Celtic? I hate these names) technically defeated the alien. The only reason the alien won was because of acid. He had it beat with hand to hand, and if he hadn't gloated he would have won.

The only reason the alien won was because of acid.

Which is part of its phisiology and thus an advantage for him.

[BANE]

True, but I mean, the predator had it beat and in an extremely vulnerable position. One quick lunge and stab would have done it at that point. But he mosies on over. I guess you could chalk that up to inexperience really.

[OmegaZilla]

Or the general Predator cockyness that also got the first 2 Predators.

[BANE]

That seems to be their only fault, really. They gloat to much and like to savour the victory, in which time its victim usually produces the killing blow.

[OmegaZilla]

Besides anyway, he had to get close because the dagger ain't exactly a good throwing weapon.

It should also be noted that if Celtic counts as winning due to a gimmick or trick, then the same should apply to Grid. That net basically came out of nowhere; if it hadn't been for that, Celtic would've been caught under Grid again with no wristblades to save him.

Not really. He had time to both fire AND get out of the way. Without firing, he would then have had more time to move out of the way.

Still, he took his sweet bloody time to get over there. I think a little bit quicker and BAM! stabbed in the head.

Lol. Celtic won the battle before he even netted Grid. How can a Predator swing an alien by his foot, bashing his head through 2 feet of solid stone and have his head not shatter? But then Alexa shoots it with that little nail-gun thingy and, Pow. Seriously.

Celtic's number was up, no matter how you slice it.

Except for the net, all he had left was his dagger against a slightly-wounded Alien.

Netting Grid and then finishing him with the dagger was the best Celtic could've hoped for.

'Cause Aliens are super tough.

Watch the Alien films in their own context without comparison to anything else and you'll understand.

I don't see how his number was up. He wasn't wounded in the slightest, and the Alien was. He had a dagger which he could easily have stabbed into the Alien several times. The alien no longer had its sharp tail to stab him with, so that's one less weapon it has. I mean, if it comes in close to him he's got the knife. He wasn't finished.

And against isolated instances of penetration (like a bullet or a knife), Predators are tougher.

Yeah, they're tough. Not that tough though. I've seen all the Alien films and i understand that if an 8 foot tall super-human beast throws  an aliens head through a 2 foot solid stone wall, while bumping other parts too, It's head would burst. Oh, and then he just tackles him through the solid stone wall, and, of course. Nothing happens. Don't tell me "you'll understand" I've had it figured out for a while now.
