    Infested Kerrigan disabled the Raynor's Marine suit from the outside in Queen of Blades. A ghost could do something similar.

    I'm pretty sure they do what all soldiers do, which includes training. Hand-to-hand, cardio, strength training. Undoubtedly they'll throw some schumck into a resoc vat to get a quick wind-up soldier, but that still gives them some amount of unarmed combat training. Besides which, drako didn't say whether it was a resoc marine or not.

    This is not the War Pigs we are talking about. This is not a named War Pig vs Unknown Ghost. Since when is that a fair debate?
    You say that like it's suppose to mean something. It doesn't.

    This is an unknown Ghost vs unknown marine, who does not happen to be a mercenary with specialized skills.
    The only special skill Turfa had was he was slightly psychic. Which did hell-all to help him in the fight.

    So that whole debate that Lupino brought up? Useless.
    Yes, an actual example of a Ghost vs. normal person is useless.

    A Ghost would crush a marine easily armoured OR unarmoured. We don't have to even bring armour into it because a Ghost would just cloak (not to mention that he can crush someone's face just with his hand).
    Too bad that Ghost didn't just smash Turfa's face in in one punch and end the fight right there. I suppose his "name" protected him?

    Unarmoured, a Ghost could destroy Bruce Lee. Did you see how hard they trained Colin Phash? They put him in LIFE threatening situations. Hey Colin, one marine is loaded, if you pick wrong, you dead. That's what his training consists of. What else? Oh Colin, it doesn't matter if you're like 6 years old, we're going to unleash a bunch of Zerg on you and see if you can use your quiet voice to escape, if not? Well, too bad I guess.
    That just proves the Dominion kept the stupid when they adopted the Confed ghost training program. Those examples actually have little bearing on how well a Ghost fights in hand-to-hand.

    That's the training a Ghost goes through, every day of his life. We also have no evidence suggesting that marines learn much if any close combat at all. What's the point? They're fighting other armoured marines with guns most of the time, or the Zerg or the Protoss. Since when does having close combat come in handy against any of those? You're better off running away to find a gun.
    Because as has been said before, you find yourself in a situation where you cannot use your gun, you use the next best thing.
    Superior capability in language does not necessarily equate to superior intelligence...but it certainly doesn't help your argument if you sound stupid.

    Somehow I'm sure Ghosts get all muscles worked out like Bruce Lee
    Cuz they are wanted to be at the top of freakin' human physical condition. And I'm sure that in 26 century Terran Ghost program scientists know how to turn punies into monsters who would humiliate ones like Ivan Drago.

    Read about Alexander "Iron Samson" Zass. You'll see that not such a big Ghost may crush even a guy like Tychus.
