Quote from: Drago-Morph on Apr 07, 2008, 06:08:09 PMYou guys were thinking only in terms of strength. In strength, they're even. But in hand to hand combat the Alien would win. They kill with their bodies, the Predator kills with weapons. A human to a lion.

There is no way a human can hold, throw, wrestle a lion like the Predators do with the aliens. Think smaller, a dog to human, maybe...

Think smaller, a dog to human, maybe...A mid-sized dog can kill a large man if he gets him on the ground. It just depends on where the battle goes. To use this analogy dogs are much more efficient in killing if you compair a human with no weapons and just a dog.

To use this analogy dogs are much more efficient in killing if you compair a human with no weapons and just a dog. A human has the size advantage though in most cases. A human has reach, in addition to being a biped. The problem with the human/dog analogy is that a dog is a quadruped unlike the Alien which is a biped.

It has demonstrated multiple times it can run quite efficiently on all fours even while clinging to ceilings. In fact have you ever seen an alien run on two legs? They stand on two legs a lot but so does a bear and it is a quadriped. Bears do a lot of things on two legs including fight but when it comes to getting around they walk/run on all fours.

Ok, when moving the Alien is on all fours, when fighting it's on two legs. But for w/e reason, I'm guessing it isn't as maneuverable on 2 legs.
