Battles are better and more accurate if more votes are put. If you need votes there are many good and helpful people in chat.

So here's my Elgb's "Alien Smackdown" vote of awesomeness

Close: The dual wrist blades have the advantage for its stealth and because there is two weapons instead of one. The plasma sword has the advantage of length, surface area, and better cutting ability. I see that the dual wrist blade can probably block the plasma sword, seeing other Earth metals can resist it, but its just a probablity. If it does, then it can be used to parry and the sword to attack directly at the elite, but I don't think it'll be strong enough to get through the Elite's armor. The plasma sword on the other hand, will keep the predator at bay, and it will have no problem slicing through the predator's armored and unarmored parts. Edge: Elite

Mid: No contest here. The plasma rifle has the longer range and better accuracy, not to mention it has the larger magazine. The plasma rifle just is the more practical weapon. Edge: Elite

Long range: Again no contest here, but in favor of the Predator this time. Predator has two plasma cannons in both of his shoulders, and those cannons have a tracking system that allows them to track,point, and accurately shoot at its enemies. Not to mention its power and rate of fire. The beam rifle may have the longer range, but its inferior. Edge: Predator

Special: Shuriken is without the doubt the weakest and most primitive range weapon here. I respect its heat seeking and stealthiness, but it needs to be thrown. I doubt that thing would penetrate the Elite's armor. The needler, not only does have a homing system, its projectile is strong enough to penetrate armor. Edge: Elite

Equipment: The bio mask may be strong and its sights are very useful, but it protects only the head. The Elite armor protects its body as a whole. The wrist gauntlet is also very useful, having a cloaking and medkit, but the cloaking is unreliable as water can easily destroy it. Elite's cloaking is more reliable. Edge: Elite.

X-Factors: Both of these warriors have a very different mindset. The Elites are more determined in war and their measly honor code. Heck, unlike us who consider battle scars as awesome, for them getting wounded in battle is disgraceful. Predators are hunters, they're good at using stealth and ambush to their advantage. The predator too is no doubt faster and more agile than the Elites. Both trained extensively as warriors, but the Elites is more experienced due to them fighting an actual war than the Predators. Edge: Elites

Deadliest Warrior: Elites. The Predators would put up a good fight especially with their stealth and agility. But the Elites are battle hardened warriors who will destroy them with their more advanced weapons and warrior mentality.
