electricferret.freeforums.net/post/1122/thread vs electricferret.freeforums.net/post/1045/threadThe skies were getting darker. The sun was no longer visible behind the nebulous clouds that were quickly rolling inland. It was mid morning and Kongs instincts told him a storm was eminent. The premonition was confirmed by a flash of light in the distance followed by a deep rumble a few seconds later. It was time to get back to his den. Skull island was a dangerous place as it was, but the storms that came upon these shores were legendary and even King Kong did not want to be caught out in the impending tempest. Kong found himself bounding down the path at a brisk pace. It had only been about five minutes but he found himself nearing the halfway point to home. There was another bright flash and this time the rumble that ensued was much closer, and much more ominous. Rain. Kong hated rain and it began to pour copiously from the heavens. He would need to pick up the pace if he wanted to make it back to the den and not be caught out in the torrent until the squall passed… H'sai-de, which meant "scythe like object” in earth tongue, watched his prey gracefully leaping over boulders the size of a house and seemingly glide over deep chasms as the gargantuan primate sought shelter. He had studied this island to find the creature most worthy of the hunt. This would be the predators greatest trophy. There had been many aspersions regarding his honor on his home world, that must be torn asunder. This would be his finest hour. A kill of this magnitude would bring back the honor which was lost in battle many years ago. The confident predator unshoulder his plasma cannon. A few short bursts from the cannon would make short work of even the mightiest of foes. No honor could be obtained in that fashion. No, he would need to rely on his cunning, intelligence and ingenuity to recapture his honor. This is why he chose to wait for the storm, one that his instruments reported would be quite strong indeed. He required the element of surprise…

So, I decided to make my first match short and sweet. I haven't made one of these in many years now and need a little practice first. Hope you enjoy.

I'm feeling a squished Predator in the near future. I'm not so sure that without his plasma caster, he could take King Kong. The guy fought and killed like three mega T-Rexes while down a limb for almost the entirety of the fight.

Pretty good match, grano, but you have to include links from profiles in the Database in your match for it to be official. |

The guy fought and killed like three mega T-Rexes while down a limb for almost the entirety of the fight. I'm hearing what you have to say, but I believe it to be a lot closer than you think. For one, the intelligence of the Predator is far beyond that of a human. It has been hunting creatures it's whole life, studying habits, fighting styles, defenses, you name it, of all manor of creatures. It has already been studying Kong. Second, Yautja are extremely strong. They have feats of 10 ton strength. Add that strength with the rest of his weapon arsenal and watch out. Lastly, they are extremely agile and durable. They can jump over 20 feet straight up and fall up to 70 feet without injury. I took away the plasma canon to make it more fair to be honest. The movie version of the Predator is weak comparitavely to most. Just my 2 cents  ? |

The movie version of the Predator is weak comparitavely to most. Just my 2 cents ? I'm aware of these feats. At the same time, Kong is much stronger and decidedly more resistant to serious injury. It doesn't really matter if the Yautja can lift ten tons when Kong can basically just do this...  Except Kong's about twice as tall as that, and proportionately stronger in comparison to a regular-sized gorilla and a human. When the Yautja can't really stop Kong from doing something like that, then that's when he loses the fight. As is, the Yautja doesn't have the weight to counter Kong's momentum and strength. The only way I see the Yautja winning is with the combi-stick either through the heart or the brain, and something tells me that's not the sort of kill the Yautja would necessarily go for. |

Hey, grano, you're still going to need to find the links for these characters in the Database and add their links to your match at some point soon; otherwise, it can't count as an Official Match and will be moved to the Rumble board instead.
You'll also need to end you poll at some point to get a final vote for it and have this count as an Official Match. No real rush on this right now, though.
As for the match, just about every Predator has a hard time taking down a Xenomorph Queen solo (usually only the strongest Predators with a lot of experience in the hunt can kill one and survive), and King Kong is much bigger and stronger (and arguably smarter) than any Xeno Queen. It's hard to see how a single Yaujta of any rank would stand a chance here without a plasma caster.

People are missing some huge things about the setup. One King Kong has no clue anybody is about to attack him nor will he be expecting any beast or human to be brave enough to try to fight him in that crazy rain. Second Kong Island is a huge ass jungle or whatever with a shitload of places to hide. King Kong won't know hear Predator's stealth attack coming with the storm raging and you add in the cloak device. The Predator could literally drop on top of Kong's head or neck area and butcher the fuck out of Kong easily before Kong has a chance to react. Kong may be big but Predator is small so between the crazy ass storm and the island Kong is going to have a extremely hard time catching him. That's including the cloak device which he probably kept since it wants the element of surprise.

Would be an interesting battle but in the end the deck is stacked against Predator. Though the match did end in a draw, so that's pretty cool. xD |

As for the Xenomorph Queen or King Kong being more deadly, I'd like to use an analogy that makes the comparison apples to oranges.
Is a snake not more deadly to the mouse than is a bear? The bear is far stronger and much bigger than the snake. However, the snake has particular weapons that make it far deadlier.
The same could be said for the Xenomorph Queen. Just throwing that out there.

The bear's strength and size does not mean anything if it does not know where the snake will strike. What makes it's enemy more deadly is that in a habitat that plays to its greatest strength one sneak attack is all it needs to severely strike the bear and kill it.

Yello there, Granobulax. It's been a long time.
