When I thought of this match, I tried to match them as equally as possible and he picked up the equivalents quite nicely. If you look closely, the teams are configured in a bit of a Warhammer 40k force organization. Chewie and Robocop are essentially their teams' Troop selection. Both are considerably strong grunts, but otherwise have only a few advantages over a normal human. Both have great strength, as well as comparable marksman skills. That said, Chewie might have a slight advantage as he is an experienced mechanic if the fight became a 1 on 1 between the two. That said, this advantage might be marginal in a combat situation. Then we have the teams' Elite selections in T-X and Predator. These two have surprising infiltating capabilities with their Cloaking and Shapeshifting respectively. In addition, they both have some potent firepower to bring into the situation as may be required. The Alien Queen and IG-88 are meant to fulfill the roles of the Heavy Support selections. Both can increase their teams' numbers with Facehuggers or Robot copies, but the real threat comes in their sheer power. The Alien Queen's monstrous strength could rip any of these machines appart, and her blood could make short work of them should she come to harm. Similarly, the bounty hunter has arguably some of the more powerful weaponry in the match coupled with inhuman strength comparable to the queen's own. Lastly, Zeratul and Nimrod are their teams' powerhouse HQ selections. Both individuals are night unstopable in their own right, and are quite capable of handling the oponent team by themselves. However, their leadership will be needed first and foremost to ensure the success of the scenario. As it stands I give the advantage to the ETs as they have the better sneaking capabilities, one of them being the menacing Zeratul. That said, team Robot brings some incredible versatility as well in the form of T-X's shapeshifting capabilities. She could easily pose for most of the team (sans the Queen) if a situation arises. Arguably, she could double her threat capability if she is able to hack into the Predator's gear. All in all, its a tough match to say the least. I'll try to keep my neutrality on the situation for the time being. I think maybe the location needs to be more detailed, though. You want to take a crack at it, admin? Jwlynas got it right.

What? Protoss are far strongert and more durable physically then a human, as well as being an average of 3 meters tall. Zeratul's would tear a normal human in two with raw strength alone.

So... ETs FTW yeah, because of the minds of Z and Kerrigan sense each other on the pscionic area… and the Observer is cloaked differently….

Game mechanics, an argument does not make. Take all those in-game statistics and through them out the window. Remember, even in his own Universe, Zeratul was not always invisible. Terran missile turrets had sensors capable of picking them up and Zerg Overlords seem to have an uncanny ability to pin point where exactly cloaked enemies are. Nimrod’s may well be able to detect Zeratul. That said, Nimrod (worst name ever for a badass robot) comes to this fight with no prior knowledge of what abilities his foes have. Plus his sensors are geared to work on mutant humans. There’s no guarantee at all it’d work on extraterristrials.[quote] Mainly, Missile Turrets and Overlords do that in game. We have only seen a Missile turret shoot down an Observer in one of the books, and I can not recall an Overlord ever detecting cloaked Dark Templar in the books as well. We do know that Kerrigan can detect Zeratul in their fight in one of the books though. [quote]Jesus. Game mechanics, an argument does not make.
