Boba Fett and Jango Fett vs 2 Predators

[Gantoris_Aym]

I just have always wondered who would win this fight.

 

Rules:

 

1st battle is in space with their ships.

 

2nd battle is in the Rainforest (Where the first Predator took place)

 

3rd battle is on Corusant

 

&

they have all of their weapons

Predators, even in star wars its very hard to locate a cloaked figure even with their technology plus they are more durable and far stronger then a human being. Now Boba and Jango's armor could probably stop a Predator's plasma cannon(though not really sure), in hand to hand though Preds would most likely wipe the floor with them.

I disagree. Sure the predators have more endurance, but the Fetts have way more Aim and Alacrity. As soon as the preds shot something, they would know where they are and spam whatever move the Bounty Hunter's equivalent to "Grav Round" is and then hit 'em with a cryo grenade and heal themselves, repeat and done. Also, their ship is way too OP to lose.

I'd go with the fett's. Let's look at why. The predators have always been defeated by humans with our tech. Exceptional humans in the movies for sure but it proves they are beatable with our current technology. Now Star Wars armor would not be able to be damaged by our current weapons. This means Bounty Hunter armor > Predator armor. We also don't know how adept predators are at killing other intelligent alien species with different forms of technology.

 

What we do know is Jango and Boba Fett are both accomplished bounty hunter. They have killed numerous species both small and large. Killed multiple opponents and in Jango's case especially.. killed beings with basically magical powers. Predators cannot foresee the future. They do not foresee attacks. They can not predict something before it happens and react on it. Even with these precognitive powers, the ability to pull you in with the force, push you away, erect barriers, grasp you, and more Jango has managed to kill Jedi.

 

Worse yet. The force can increase your strength, agility, and even speed. Jango has defeated beings with these abilities in hand to hand combat. Being able to out predict and maneuver someone who can foresee your plans in advance takes incredible genius. This is why I don't think the Predator's stealth technology would amount to much. As a major predator fan I'd have to give this to Jango and Boba.

 

Don't forget that Star Wars tech > Predator tech.

 

I mean sure Predator's tech seems impressive but consider the fire power blasters have and the fact that blasters can fire at a much faster rate then Predator's weaponry.

The Bounty Hunters could surpass and outsmart Jedis in 1 on 1 combat due to their cunning and wide use of gadgets. I think that would be their winning roll against Predators too..

 

 

What about Jedi VS Spiderman >< ?

Depends. What Spiderman? There's been various reboots to the marvel verse and different incarnations of the heroes each with different strengths and weaknesses. Movie Spiderman? I'd ask what Jedi?

[Sulpeh]

The Fett's may win the initial battle, but everyone forgets predators tend to uhh, self destruct in their last moments..

 

 

Honestly, I think the Predators would win in hand to hand combat, but the fetts would win at ranged, with a more precise arsenal, where as the predators just have guns with big explosions...

 

 

The Predators are a Warrior race though, the bounty hunters are simply fueled by greed, so that makes the Predators alot cooler anyway :3

Technically the Fett's are mandalorians which are a warrior "Race" and culture. Also there's quite a few enemies that self destruct. Namely terrorists. Also don't forget that the time it takes a predator to self destruct is pretty long. Long enough that the hero's in the movies have time to escape.

 

Predators have lost CQC against humans. In various comics, novels, and even in the movies they're taken on. I have the Predator omnibus collection and yeah. If Jango can take out Jedi which can enhance their strength/endurance with the force. He can take on a predator. Honestly I don't see this going well for a predator at all.

 

In general.

 

Jango would be smarter. Jango has better hand to hand training. Jango has superior armor. Jango has superior weapons.

Jango would not defeat a predator in hand to hand...hands down? There is no way, they are just far too strong.

 

 

But realistically , it comes down to the environment.

A predator would probably defeat Jango, in forest environment, but in Coruscant, Jango's jetpack would be far too much of an advantage.

Are you sure about that? In the comic's Dutch's brother took down a Predator in hand to hand combat. Predators were strong but not inhumanly strong. Other than the crappy AVP movies Aliens are much stronger physically. Being able to handle molten lead that is hundreds of degrees and weighs over a thousand pounds. Able to physically smash through solid steel doors and more.

 

In fact if a predator survived hand to hand combat with a xenomorph they were hailed as champions. Trust me. I know my predator's lore. Not to mention Jango has hunted in forest environments before. He also has a lot more experience than Predators. Again, Predator's most advanced species they hunt are humans and xenomorphs. Jango has hunted a much wider variety of game. He's hunted in different locations and is hailed as the best bounty hunter in the GALAXY. A galaxy home of trillions upon trillions of different species.

 

There is absolutely no way two run of the mill predators come close to that. A more fair fight would be. A predator vs a run of the mill bounty hunter but you're taking the most skilled, most advanced, non force sensitive human and pitting them up against a predator. A species that HAS lost to humans on "our" version of earth with "our" version of technology. Humans that don't have anywhere near the hand to hand combat level or training that they do in the star wars verse.

[bliapis]

Predators are nothing more than unevolved race with access to space technology and some tricks. They are not the smartest Species in the Universe. Their advantage is their great strength, cloak, art of stalking (predators) and some nifty gadgets. Nothing that an experienced bounty cant outsmart and outmaster.

Point taken haha..

 

Maybe if they were both naked with no weapons

[Gantoris_Aym]

I would probably go with the Fett's too because the Fett's are predators. They think like a predator, and they would have every advantage the predator's have. The only difference is that the Fett's have intelligence that Predators don't have, but they don't have a shoulder Lazer. And remember The Fett's are working together, so they probably have a bit more strategy than the Predators.

[Trieelion]

Clearly those voting in favor of the Fett's have never seen what a Yautja is truely capable of achieving.

 

 

 

 

Yautja skin is primitive-reptilian, which means they do not possess scales like a Squamatan's (although crocodilian-like scales are found on their backs, arms, back of their hands), but skin like early extinct mammal-like reptiles on earth (Such as Lystrosaurus) The skin is also extremely tough and can withstand temperatures of up to 250°C without being burnt. Although, when faced with colder temperatures, the Yautja skin becomes rigid due to the scales sticking to each other, which makes movement uncomfortable and, in cold enough tempuratures, can even rupture the skin at the slightest movement, causing small lacerations that cannot heal untill they reach a more normalized temperature. It also gives good protection against small caliber weapons (9mm) like a bullet proof vest. Also, due to its unique structure, it somehow tranfers electrical current through the bottom out of the soles of the feet. An interesting adaption, but the conditions for this evolution are unknown even to the Yautja.

Yautja are warm-blooded. Males have an average height ranging between 7 to 8 feet and weigh in at 250 to 350lbs (113 to 159 KG) average and prominent mammary glands like human females. Females have a height range of 6 to 7 feet and weigh between 200 to 280lbs (90 to 127KG).

 

The skin color has many variations. Ranging from brown-reddish colors right through to bluish-greenish colors. This large variety of colors and patterns probably came about when the Yautja started to settle on other planets. Presumably, their ships were not as fast then as they are now and it would have taken some time just to get to another star system. Yautja on other planet would have been almost cut off from the rest of their species. These Yautja would then start to adapt to this new environment, producing this great variety of colors and patterns.

 

 

The Yautja circulatory system can be divided in to 3 circulations:

1. From the heart to the lungs

2. From the heart to the body

3. From the heart to the brain

In the Yautja circulatory system the brain has a separate circulation. This allows for a higher blood pressure in the rest of the body without damaging the fine network of blood vessels in the brain. This allows the Yautja to live with blood pressures that would normally kill a human.

The ability to create and survive such high blood pressure has certain advantages. The blood can be transported through the body faster and thus oxygen and other nutrients are transported quicker and waste products are removed faster.

 

This special circulatory system is part of why the Yautja are so strong. It allows the organs and muscles to work harder and thus increase the muscle capacity.

 

The Yautja's 5-part heart consists of 2 auricles and 3 ventricles. The blood is pumped from the right side of the heart (seen on the left of the heart schematic in blue) through the lungs. From there, it goes back to the heart and into the left auricle (seen on the right of the heart schematic in green). From here it goes in to the 2 ventricles that are connected to it. One pumps it into the body and the other pumps it into the brain at a much lower pressure. When the blood has gone through the body and the brain, it goes back to the right side of the heart and the cycle starts again.

 

The Yautja skeleton is stronger than our own, although it is made mostly of Calcium, which our bones are constructed of as well. The Yautja skeleton is stronger due to its firm build. The bones are much denser than our own, and are heavier.

 

Partially due to the oxygen rich blood, the yautja don't seem to have the problem of calcification, a process that makes bones more fragile over time. This also allows the bones to reinforce their structure naturally and also because their body uses more carbon in making the bone, which makes it just as flexible as, and stronger than, human bone tissue, but about 3-4 times more dense and 5-6 times more heavy.

 

The reason Yautja are much stronger is due partially to the fact that the muscles have a much more efficient nutrient and waste product transport, as well as the much higher gravity on their home planet, and that the muscle fibers are prismoidal and triangular as opposed to a humans round muscle fibers. This makes more muscle able to fit in the same amount of space, and due to the larger size attributes to the greater strength.

 

The greater strength is also created by the higher percentage of muscular tissue per KG of body weight and the fact that Yautja are bigger than humans.

 

The Yautja nervous system is almost a replica of human nerves other than DNA and a few structural changes. The nerves use a form of organic fiber optics that allow chemical and electrical signals to travel at speeds up to 20 times faster than a human. Also, instead of remaining relatively close enough for signals to take place, the nerve endings grow past each other and intertwine, allowing for much faster communication.

 

An interesting thing about the Yautja is their unique DNA structure. Instead of a double helix, the Yautja have a triple helix DNA form. The advantages and disadvantages of this are unknown. Also instead of 4 base pairs like humans, they have 5 base pairs in their DNA. These differences may also have unknown advantages or disadvantages.

 

 

A recent theory suggests that the "dreads" located on their heads are not actually hair of some sort but infact a unique cooling system designed to allow for survival in their hot environment, the dreads are actually hollow tendrils lined with blood vessels, this allows the heat generated by the Yautja high metabolism to be released easily, the air inside the tendrils acts as an insulator to resist gaining heat from the outside body, this makes them able to resist high temperatures relatively well, it is also useful in cold climates in which the air in the tendrils is heated by the body and retains this heat keeping them from losing too much heat from their tendrils. This is further supported by examination of the head and skull showing the tendrils having sockets in the skull.

Breathing Edit

 

The Yautja breathe 35% more oxygen than humans due to their larger muscle and metabolism requirements. Due to adverse climates and terrains on their home world, they evolved the ability to breathe hydrogen and a limited amount of carbon dioxide if there is a lack of oxygen in the air. But like humans, they have a limit to how long they can go before their bodies can no longer function without oxygen and a limited time of 10 minutes of breathing carbon dioxide. This allows them to survive in adverse climates on many worlds with limited supplies. Also, due to a larger lung capacity, as an average, Yautja can hold their breath for up to 15 minutes before losing conciousness, whereas a human would be unconcious in two (although free divers can hold for much longer than that) . So a supposed maximum of time before a Yautja would need to breath again would be just under 45 minutes.

Blood Edit

Yautja blood is fairly more resistant to the Xenomorph's acid blood than Humans and it is a luminous phosphor-green colour. Their blood is a base, which neutralises the xenomorph's acidic blood.

Reproduction Edit

 

Unlike humans, who reproduce the whole year round, the Yautja seem to have a mating season. This makes sense since they have a cycle in their life (though they do not change gender; Xenomorphs do, leading some fans to speculate that Yautja behave similarly).

Interestingly, the Yautja mating season does not seem to be written in stone, as both males and females are capable of reproducing outside the mating season (similar to humans, although our 'mating season' is simply the females' ovulation cycle). Normally, creatures who have a mating season can only reproduce during the mating season. However, it seems that Predators can reproduce the whole year round but won't.

 

There are 2 theories as to why this behavior exists:

 

1. Mating season is part of their culture and is sustained for religious reasons or for the sake of tradition.

2. Mating season is simply convenient because of the earlier mentioned distances between males and females.

Mating season is a 30 day period which occurs roughly every 400 days. During the mating season, the males try to mate with as many females as they can. The high ranking males will attract enough females just because of their status. The males that are lower in rank will have to fight for their females. This behavior is probably millions of years old. It is likely that the flat crests on top of a Yautja's head developed for the purpose of attracting a mate. During mating season, a successful male can mate with up to 20 females. This only happens to very successful males who are excellent hunters. For the overall population, 2 or 3 females is a large amount. But because of this type of distribution of females,many males are left without mates. This is also the reason most males don't mate for the first time until they are at least 50 to 60 years old and have acquired a reasonable trophy collection. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all, for instance when a male is seen as unfit for breeding, or when the Yautja becomes dishonorable or cowardly. Sometimes, the lowest hunting males are also unable to acquire a female. These frustrated males may turn on their subordinates.

The Yautja male reproduction system is similar to that of a human male. On the other hand, the female reproduction system differs quite a lot from that of human females. The outside appearance of the female reproductive organs is similar to that of a human, the inner workings are quite different. Although Yautja give birth to live young, the babies develop in an egg like structure. A similar type of reproduction implied by some snakes, which hatch there eggs inside their bodies. This type of reproduction is called ovoviviparous (Ovoviviparous having non-shelled eggs which hatch internally of the female).

 

In Yautja, this type of reproduction has evolved itself into something much more specialized than just the hatching of an egg inside the body.

 

In the ovary, only one egg at a time ripens. It takes 40 days and the egg will be ready to be fertilized for the next 70 days. Although the egg is ripe and ready to be fertilized, it is not yet fully grown. It will only grow to its full size when it its fertilized. The egg is fertilized whilst still in the ovary, which will allow it to develop further. When the egg is fertilized, the yolk, which will have to support the growing Yautja fetus, starts to grow in mass. The next 80 days will be crucial. In this period of time, the yolk grows to its full size and the fertilized egg starts to develop into a fetus. Meanwhile, the walls of the "womb" start to produce a thick coating of moist holding slime and blood vessels. This coating will later on provide the growing fetus with oxygen, fluids and a means of removing the carbon dioxide and other waste products. Before this time, the egg gets it's oxygen and water from the albumen. After the first 80 days, the egg has grown to its full size and detaches itself from the ovary. The womb coating will cover it completely within days. The fertilized egg has now become an embryo and the basic shape of the Yautja has revealed itself. The embryo is attached to the yolk by an umbilical cord, it will get its food from here for the next months. From now on, the embryo will keep growing until it has become a baby ready to be born.

 

Nearing birth, the yolk has shrunk to the size of a Ping-Pong ball, although it isn't round. In the next few hours, the yolk will merge with the embryo's abdomen. When the child is born, the yolk can still be seen as a small elongated bump on the stomach with a slightly different color as the rest of the body.

 

This type of reproduction has definite advantages over actually laying eggs. The eggs can grow much larger because they don't need a hard shell. The yolk can grow much larger because the amount of albumen needed is reduced immensely. The womb coating provides the oxygen and water that used to be provided by the albumen.

 

 

 

 

your basic Yautja stats.

 

don't get me started on Elders, Elites, Arbiters, and Vanguards.

 

 

anything beyond a Blooded Yautja would eat Boba or Jango alive.

Meanwhile, the walls of the "womb" start to produce a thick coating of moist holding slime and blood vessels. This coating will later on provide the growing fetus with oxygen, fluids and a means of removing the carbon dioxide and other waste products. Before this time, the egg gets it's oxygen and water from the albumen. After the first 80 days, the egg has grown to its full size and detaches itself from the ovary. The womb coating will cover it completely within days. The fertilized egg has now become an embryo and the basic shape of the Yautja has revealed itself. The embryo is attached to the yolk by an umbilical cord, it will get its food from here for the next months. From now on, the embryo will keep growing until it has become a baby ready to be born.

 

Nearing birth, the yolk has shrunk to the size of a Ping-Pong ball, although it isn't round. In the next few hours, the yolk will merge with the embryo's abdomen. When the child is born, the yolk can still be seen as a small elongated bump on the stomach with a slightly different color as the rest of the body.

 

This type of reproduction has definite advantages over actually laying eggs. The eggs can grow much larger because they don't need a hard shell. The yolk can grow much larger because the amount of albumen needed is reduced immensely. The womb coating provides the oxygen and water that used to be provided by the albumen.

 

 

 

 

your basic Yautja stats.

 

don't get me started on Elders, Elites, Arbiters, and Vanguards.

 

 

anything beyond a Blooded Yautja would eat Boba or Jango alive.

 

Blasters are a lot more powerful than our 9mm rounds. It doesn't change the fact that a Yautja can be killed by our own weapons. This has happened numerous times. Dutch's brother still defeated several Yautja in hand to hand combat. An african hunter also managed to kill one with a small knife. We also know Dutch's brother likely would not defeat a Jedi in single combat.

 

Especially not in hand to hand combat like Boba Fett. Plus I'd like to know where you get your information from. In numerous graphic novels Xenomorphs acid has shown to be very dangerous to Yautja. Yautja being hailed as champions when they manage to defeat one in hand to hand combat.

 

Jango Fett is a genius. He's battled races from all over the galaxy. A galaxy which hosts trillions of different species and millions of different environments. He was the BEST in a galaxy that large and full of life. A galaxy that hosts some of the smallest intelligent species to the largest. He's defeated multiple opponents in hand to hand combat that have powers. Can foresee the future and in some cases even read your mind. He's outwhitted them without the use of the force with his own ingenuity.

Jango would not defeat a predator in hand to hand...hands down? There is no way, they are just far too strong.

 

 

But realistically , it comes down to the environment.

A predator would probably defeat Jango, in forest environment, but in Coruscant, Jango's jetpack would be far too much of an advantage.

 

Have you seen the pred movies they are slow bulky creatures, with what seems to be no fighting style at all. They have there arms open down by the hips. This is not a good way to fight. Jango would be fast and prolly would not get into a hand to hand event with the creature. In an all out brawl I would still say jango all the way.

And a shotgun at close-range is infinitely more deadlier than any blaster could ever hope to be, case-in-point, a Yautja took 3 well placed blasts to the chest and abdominal area, and kept on fighting like he had just taken a minor flesh wound.

 

And why does it exactly matter that a Yautja can be killed by simple human weaponry? You want to get that asinine about it then so can Jango, Boba, hell even Master Jedi....all it takes is a little bit of luck, one high-powered rifle, and the right vantage point....so unless one of the above is all knowing.....a headshot regardless of the caliber is going to be pretty fatal.

 

 

Once again, a human beating a yautja doesn't really equate to much, considering said human could potentially have his way with Jango/Boba Fett if he ever found himself facing them instead of a Yautja. I'm not going to comment anymore on this particular subject as i've not read this comic yet, so I don't know the circumstances surrounding the Yautja/Yautja's defeat....unless you wish to give me some comic numbers? i'd be happy to look them up afterwards.

 

 

Who says Dutche's brother can't defeat a Jedi in single combat? it's pretty easy when you factor in explosives, projectile weapons (Saber deflection won't work, because bullets are not bolts of energy, thus they would not bounce off, instead they'd get cut in half, only to create two separate pieces of accelerated metal, that would inevitably pierce the jedi's body.) or lets say he does somehow gets disarmed, all he needs to do is pull out a 8-bang (Flash bang grenade for you arm-chair commandos, it goes off 8 times, creating distortion and utter confusion) hell I don't even know why i'm writing all of this, point that i'm making is, you don't need to be some super elite ****** mother****er to kill a Jedi, you just need alittle bit of common sense, and alittle bit of luck....more so the common sense part than the luck.

 

 

Last but not least, don't wash out that the Yautja's are hunters foremost and Warriors second, they are extremely capable of waging war on a galactic level, they just choose not to as it takes away from their greatest past time-Hunting....which brings me to my next point, ultimately they are Hunters seeking the greatest challenge....which is why they primarily target humans and xenomorphs....these are not the only alien races they hunt within the universe, just the ones they hunt the most because well...Xenomorphs are extremely dangerous due to their numbers and sheer aggression.

 

 

and humans...well...humans are unpredictable....which makes them an even better prey than the xeno's.

Are we talking the smarter more cunning Predators like from the graphic novels and to some extent Predator 1 or the dumb ones from the AvP movies?

[Trieelion]

i'm going for the graphic novels.

[GellonSW]

In that case, there would be Bounty Hunter conFETTi all over the place when the Yautja are done.

A shotgun up close is more dangerous than a blaster? You're deluded. A high powered blaster pistol can damage durasteel and kill stormtroopers who's armor is extremely resistant to other form of weaponry and blades. A stormtrooper's armor could withstand shotgun rouns. They even resist thermal detonators so long as they aren't completely point blank.

 

You're stretching quite a bit. Who's to say Dutch's brother can't take on Fett? Simple. He's not the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy. Hell, he isn't even the best human on earth though he is quite the fighter and is amazing. Jango is the better bounty hunter in the galaxy. He's better than trillions possibly quintillions of other bounty hunters out there. He has them all beat. The sheer numbers is ridiculous. A single blaster pistol can deal quite a bit more damage than shotguns.

 

Star Wars tech is way beyond ours. We have body armor right now that can resist shotgun rounds. You admit humans are the most dangerous game for Yautja but conveniently forget that Jango Fett is hunting these same prey. These same prey with far better tech and devices. Who can have assassin droids, security owned by the average house hold that makes our modern state of the art security a complete joke, and more. He's done the impossible over and over again.

 

To claim Yautja can easily take Jango is to claim that Yautja can easily take Jedi. It's a ridiculous statement. It's ridiculous because the Predator comics constantly have Yautja dying to humans. Dutch wasn't the only one to kill one. Neither was Dutch's brother. Heck, the hunter in africa wasn't, and neither was Mike. What if these people had Star Wars tech? How would the fight have looked then? There's armors resistant t olightsabers in star wars bounty hunters have access too. Cortoses, phrik, and other alloys. A high powered rifle isn't going to do anything against these armors either.

 

I don't think you're comprehending just how insane the scale is here. Yautja lose to some of the most gifted humans in the world. Jango is better than trillions of humans. The difference between "An elite few" on earth versus the top of the elite in a galaxy of quintillions.. is quite a difference.

 

My point about dutch's brother is that it can be done. He did best a Predator with his bare hands. The predator came out of stealth and he slugged the damn thing. He delivered a few more blows. Took up a wooden plank. And used it to seemingly finish it off. Did it die? No. It recovered. Even when he thought he did enough damage to kill it but that's hardly the point. He came to blows with it and was able to hurt it.

 

 

P.S. I'm not saying no Yautja can kill them. I said run of the mill Yautja. The ones that come to hunt and return as "men." Yautja that seek to become blooded or one that's recently been blooded. These, I don't believe, stand a chance against Jango or Boba. I have not brought in the best of the Yautja in this discussion. The title is. Boba and Jango vs two predators. The title doesn't state what kind of predators.

Edited January 27, 2012 by Rhyltran

[TBurglar]

The predators would win easily, for god's sake boba fett got knocked into the sarlaac pit by a blind man while wearing a jetpack. Jango fett didn't look too impressive in the movies either, unless you count stealing kills from Dooku or shooting his own assassin after a jedi had already cut off their arm.

 

Keep on sperging though fettbois.

[BlackLotus]

I going to say both of them would actually win depending on the situation Predators like hunting that much is true they also have that nifty cloak, so it would be rather easy for them to take Jango or Boba by surprise, frankly because no matter how good you are if you get shot at distance by an enemy you don't see your dead.

 

//jango + boba = dead meat

 

Now if Boba and Jango survive the initial encounter then depending on how the battle happen, the Jango and Boba would probably win as well.

 

On the initial encounter the Predators would win, but if the prey happens to survive the first encounter and if they are named Jango or Boba they could probably win as the fight drags on.

I don't think you've seen what a shotgun can do to a body up-close, especially a human one, a blaster at most is going to burn a hole through you while cauterizing the wound at the same time. A shell of 000 buckshot is going to tear your body apart, figuratively, you're looking at body chunks flying everywhere, massive amounts of trauma and of course blood loss.

 

A Yautja had all of this happen to it and so much more including the loss of an arm, and yet it still continued to fight on like a champ. Second off, i'm pretty sure a Yautja's armor is more than capable of standing up to a blaster shot, it just so happen that Yautja's choose to wear a half-assed version of it when they go hunting to keep things interesting, if this was during war I can assure you a simple blaster would NOT be able to pierce their suit.

I don't really feel like quoting anymore, so i'll just give you the codex, I don't like quoting wiki but I can't really remember that one AVP site with all the yautja info on it atm.

Apples and Oranges, greatest Bounty Hunter in the galaxy is just a title, by the end of the day, Jango Fett can still bleed through mortal means, and if he can bleed....you can still kill him.

We have body armor that can resist shotgun rounds, keyword is resist, and even that is a toss up between distance and shell model. I don't think you're grasp just how powerful and lethal a shotgun can become once used at a range of 4 ft or less, it is very capable of ripping apart plates as well as the ballistic armor inserts in the vest while pulverizing internal organs, and causing hemorrhaging.

 

No I didn't say humans were the most dangerous game for Yautja, I said they were the most unpredictable due to their ability to think under stress and on their feet. Boba and Jango have both been owned by humans, the son moreso than the father which brings me back to my point of having a little bit of luck. a BLIND GUY ended up offing the galaxies most notorious bounty-hunter, so you gosh darn right I say a Yautja is more than a match for the fetts.

Dumb, freshly blooded, Yautjas lose to the worlds most gifted humans. Look at the bolded part, i've yet to see one Yautja who wasn't wet behind the ear's get showed up by a human, so why not put the best Bounty Hunter against the best Yautja then? an elite of his galaxy versus an elite of Yautja-Prime.

 

but even you have to know that's not even remotely fair for the fetts, if you know anything at all about Yautja fluff like you claim to.

Once again, I want to read this comic/book, cause I feel like i'm not getting the entire story here. There's no way in hell a Yautja is going to just let someone wail on him, and do jack **** about it while said person works his way up to a 'combo-breaker' none the less.

alright, so we agree here, didn't see this part until now. The best of the Fetts cannot compete with the best Yautja-prime has to provide.
