Marine vs Zealot unarmed

[screw_ball69]

I was thinking about this earlier and I honestly do not think the Marine would win in unarmed combat with a Zealot even if he has is armor.
Discuss.

does the marine have his power suit? cuz either way Zealot will win it's most likely

[Gradius]

Uhm, of course the Zealot will win? :P

[Blasterion]

cuz Armored Zealots have shields right?

[Gradius]

No, b/c they're awesome.

"unarmored" = no shields. I think that even if the Marine is stronger, the Zealot is faster, and can get behind the Marine and even pick him up & throw him.

[XSOLDIER]

Do natural psychic power count as "armed?"

Also - Protoss are physically much greater in stature than Terrans, so although the CMC suit would match them up size-wise, the Protoss would still have a massive speed advantage that would probably keep them from getting smacked around (especially since I don't believe that the powered CMC suits are built for CQC hand-to-hand fighting).

Zealot hands down, assuming the zealot is a lot older than the marine he will probably have a lot of valuable combat experience. Make them the same age..zealots are something like spartans with their strong warrior culture.

[Kimera757]

Assuming the zealot has psi blades, they'll probably win, but things like starting range do make a difference. (A protoss, being taller, has a harder time taking cover, magnifying the range disadvantage.)

[Norfindel]

Realistically, a Protoss in singular combat with a Terran would concentrate and stun the guy. Now, if there are 10 Terrans there's not much point into wasting time stunning one, right?

About physical strenght alone, i don't know. Would an unarmored Protoss be strong enough to damage an armored Terran? Only Blizzard can tell.

If they are only wearing clothes or are nude, I could see how a Terran could win (if he had lots of training), but I think a Protoss is stronger, as they are all psionic to an extent, are very agile and have less weak points on their body than Terrans.
