A Skaarj/Predator War

[PRIMEVAL]

I noticed that the Skaarj are a lot like the Predator alien race (dreads, Raziks, deadly weaponry, etc) from the AVP movies / games, and I've been wondering:  If the Skaarj and Predators got into a war, who would come out victorious?

[GreatEmerald]

Predators? Umm? These Predators?

No, the Predator (AVP, Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Ugly Mother F*roar*").

[GreatEmerald]

Either way Skaarj would rule. Even when outnumbered, all they need to do is call some Queens, Warlords or Heavy Skaarj.

Correct.

Maybe the predators could do the same?

Predators have far more lethal weapons rather then just claws and energy bolts. Plus Predator has cloaking.

The Skaarj have equally deadly weapons besides their Raziks and energy bolts, so I think they're evenly matched.
The Skaarj also have Invisibility I believe as well as a cloaking device from RtNP, though I'm not sure if it's their technology or not. With those two items, you can go invisible. Predators become visible when they get into the water, I think

[]Rubberwood]

Nah they can go invisible when they wish. Remember when Schwarzenegger had a gatling gun and mowed down a chunk of forest trying to hit the Predator because it was cloaked?

Plus if You've seen AVP 2, the Predator has a gun that basically evaporates it's target when it hits the unfortunate target. And also the Predator has a glaive (or whatever) that slices right through the Alien and keeps on slicing through more aliens that are behind it. And it shows what happens to a human when hit by one of those glaives... nasty.

[PRIMEVAL]

I always thought water disables cloaking... maybe that was something else.

But humans and Aliens are both very fragile while the Skaarj have very tough skin to break through. They also have a tendency to take other starfaring races' weapons. so the Skaarj could possibly get the Predators' weapons (and vise versa I'm sure). The Skaarj also have their minions to help them fight, I'm sure (Brutes, Krall, Izarians, etc).

[GreatEmerald]

And Heavy Skaarj projectiles home to the target, and what's better than a telefragging Queen?

[[§Ŕ] ŤhěxĐâŕkśîđěŕ]

When it's about telefragging, the only thing that matters is the number. And I presume there is more Skaarj than Predator, of course.

So a Skaarj telefrags the Predator and: END!

*sounds of bouncing gibs*

... I'm sure (Brutes, Krall, Izarians, etc).

What's Izarian?

The predator does quite some damage. As long as it is not the bugged version of RTNP/Gold the predator will win. (Use Asgards fixed predator)

[]Rubberwood]

Wait, isn't there one queen? The one you kill? But there's more than one warlord...

It's a pretty equally matched fight.

[GreatEmerald]

... I'm sure (Brutes, Krall, Izarians, etc).

What's Izarian?

Izarians are Skaarj ruled phychotic aliens in Unreal II. Quite like Krall.

We're talking about Alien vs Predator Predators here

Nope. There are a lot of queens. Even on Na Pali there were at least two of them. Skaarj owned plants would have even more. Basically if you see a Skaarj, there's a Queen somewhere around, unless the Skaarj is just scouting a new planet.

Ok, i remember those but I though they were Kralls.

In the game, you encounter only one Queen and one Warlord.

2 WarLords if you count the Mission Pack

[GreatEmerald]

Yeap, but encounter != exist.

[[§Ŕ] ŤhěxĐâŕkśîđěŕ]

That is true, indeed.

Next time I'll try ghosting through the door the Queen is guarding so I don't have to kill the Queen.

Same with Warlord, in Demon's Lair, a plain fly is enough and in ExtremeGen, ghost is needed if you don't wanna kill the Warlord.

[]Rubberwood]

Can't really say that either would win because more is known about the Skaarj then the predator.

[[§Ŕ] ŤhěxĐâŕkśîđěŕ]

Yeah, maybe Predator knows some secret killer techniques...

But it's the fact that Predator is outnumbered.

The Skaarj aim to control the universe, so it's hard to say how many galaxies and star systems they have.

But the Skaarj surely outnumber humans, and yet in a Human/Skaarj war we were able to have them retreat (I heard this somewhere, I forget).

[Hellkeeper]

I've yet to see the Skaarjs use a nuclear weapon, whereas Predators all have a pocket-sized one. That's a strong argument.
