Who would win in a fight?





If you need either beasty identified, you're a loser

[Flipside]

Shivan, he'd just beam cannon his way to victory

[diamondgeezer]

And risk acid-blooding his ship's hull?

[Jetmech Jr.]

Aliens are fast as ****. Havent you ever played the game? He'd just dodge his way to victory

DG: that too, that **** would eat a hole clean through the hull.

[aldo_14]

Alien.  Becuase 'e looks ****ing evil compared to the shivan.

Oh, and alien-Shivan hybrid anyone?

[an0n]

The Aliens are tiny compared to Shivans. If it was 1-on-1 the Shivan would just grab the Alien, crush it and smash its brains out all over the wall.

And Shivans can stand up to Terran gunfire, so a little bit of acid probably wouldn't do much.

[jdjtcagle]

Shivan

[Jetmech Jr.]

Xenomorphs are like giant water balloons filled with acid. thats more that a litte bit. And unless your sayin that shivan hides are thicker and stronger than starship hulls, anon, well...

[Rictor]

Gish!

...errr...yeah.

[Star Dragon]

1 - 1 (like this poll suggests) SHIVAN WINS

I suggest you watch the hall fight scene again.

If it was X - 1 then the Shivan would be overrun (I doubt any race could stand up to say 6 or more Xenos acting in a bersek rush on one poor fool)

Both races can operate in space for a short amount of time. the Shivan IS armored so the acid will have little or a delayed effect, normal guns can kill a Xeno so the advanced weapons built into the shivan (bio energy?) will disintergrate the Xeno. Plus the Shivan's claw seemed as equally vorpal as the Xeno's talons and tail so it can safely hold it in place for beaming it with out worring about getting cut.

Thoughts?

BTW what does are resident Shivan have to say (my name is Carl as well, can he be my alien brother?)

[jdjtcagle]

Well, we have never seen shivans fight in gravity, sooooo....

[Jetmech Jr.]

Just FYI, Xeno's can survive indefinatley in open space

As I never played FS1 () I've never seen the Hall Fight Cutscene.

[Flipside]

A Shivan is likely to care about the acid no more than the Alien is going to care about the Beam Cannon, and for more or less the same reasons, and the heat of the beam would probably vaporise the acid to be honest.

I don't think a single Alien would be much of a threat to a Shivan.

So can the shivans, from the Silent Threat movies

[Jetmech Jr.]

I was correcting star dragon, didnt know if the same applied to shivans

[an0n]

It took the GTA frickin hours to drill into the....err...Taranis?

I think their ships can stand up to a little acid, so that point is moot.

And all the Aliens do is hack and slash, and if a Shivan can shrug off gun-fire, I doubt a claw is going to do much to hurt it. The Shivans are so horrifically well armoured that they probably wouldn't even bother trying to kill in the Aliens once they'd infested the ship.

If they did try to exterminate them, the Shivans have the whole hive-mind thing going on, so they could quickly and easily corner the Xenos and cook them with their bio-cannons.

There's also the matter of shields. The Shivans could just pen the Aliens in then slowly move the forcefields inwards till they crushed the Xenos into one big mess of acid and black chunks.

And all that is contingent on the Shivans ever doing anything that would bring them into contact with the Xenos. For that to happen they'd have to be doing something totally out of character like salvaging a Terran vessel or taking a planet.

[Corsair]

Shivan, simply because he's just so badass.

[jdjtcagle]

Jetmech Jr.:
Have you played the port?
Have you heard Fs1 Music?
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE CUTSCENES!?!
Man, you have been missing out

[Jetmech Jr.]

We're not talking about there ships, we're talking about the Shivan THEMSELVES, so this point is moot

Hmm, suppose i have to give this one to ya, guess that leaves their spitting acid

First off, its 1 vs 1, so hive mind isnt much of an issue. moot.
Second speed is key
Third, xenomorphs have a hive mind too

Another moot point, since its 1 vs 1

jeez, another one? moot, for reasons above.

taking all into consideration, I think I'll change my opinion to hesitant shivan win. More than one xeno, though, or if its the queen...
