MD 33's Vote: Alien Massacre

Short Range: Hunting Knife vs Inner Jaw

The hunting knife is a true weapon, but ultimately a less lethal option than the inner jaw. The inner jaw is capable of busting through a person's skull. I have to admit though, the Na'vi have thicker skulls and the Xenomorphs usually use it against ambushed or weakened opponents. Problem is, the hunting knife will then have to contend with the Xenomorph's acid blood which will neutralize its threat. Xenos are fast, too, and tagging them will be a problem. The Na'vi won't expect a secondary jaw too, right? Psychological impact might be something but I believe the Na'vi have seen things similar to that... kinda. Still, the Xenomorphs take the edge due to the inner jaw's greater damage and psychological impact, in addition to the fact that the hunting knife is harder to use on them.

Medium Range: Staff vs Bladed Tail

A staff used by tall-arse blue aliens is one thing, but a staff is a staff in the end. It can do blunt force trauma that ignores armor, but the Xenomorphs are far more resilient than the Na'vi and they've taken on the Predators' spaceship-hull busting punches, recovering with relative ease. The bladed tail can also harm the Yautja and kill armored Marines in one strike, which makes it far more lethal. Besides, spears always beat staffs, right? Xenomorphs all the way.

Long Range: Hunting Bow vs Acid Spit

Spitting acids are easy for the Xenomorphs, but an acid spit is ultimately less accurate than firing a bow. The Na'vi are trained hunters themselves and they're extremely proficient in using their bow, even outmatching people with guns at times. The acid spit is more lethal, but the bow is more precise and that can lead to the arrows hitting critical points of the Xenos' body, such as head. It may take multiple shots to take down a Xeno with this thing, but it ultimately has more range and the Xenos have no way of effectively countering it. Besides, the acid spit is more suitable for medium ranges. Na'vi take this.

Special: Dual Blades vs Acid Blood

The Xenomorphs utterly trump this. The dual blades are true, active weapons for the Na'vi. The acid blood? It literally counters every freaking arsenal the Na'vi have aside from the arrows. Even then, those arrows may get their tips melted the moment they make contact with the Aliens' innards. Add with how powerful the acid is and the Na'vi will not expect a quick death within seconds of exposure to the acid. The dual blades are formidable weapons but they also suffer the same problem as the hunting knife: they lack lethality due to the Xenos' durability and how neutralizing the acid is to them.

X-Factors: Blue Aliens vs Black Aliens

The Na'vi take this. The Aliens are no more than feral aliens and their brutality simply serves to surprise the Na'vi in their initial encounter. The Na'vi are trained hunters and warriors who know how to strike and strategize in the face of dangerous foes, and despite their lossses they managed to drive back Avatar-verse's own humans. Xenomorphs may have fought Yautja and Colonial Marines, but tell me, how possible is it that one of the Xenos in this battle happens to be Grid from AvP? Or Specimen 6 from the 2010 game?

WINNER: XENOMORPHS

Sorry, Na'vi. You're facing something well beyond your standards. The Na'vi have more intellect, but such benefit will not be enough to contend with the primal Xenomorphs, even with their weapons. The Na'vi's weapons can barely do any damage to the Xenomorphs and their best choice of attack is through their bows. But even then, the Xenos are superhumanly fast and they can catch up to the Na'vi and force them to engage in close-to-medium range where they truly shine. The Xenos' acid blood will play a big part here as the Na'vi's attempts to kill them will result in their deaths as well. Sorry again, Na'vi. This ain't a match for ya.
