I hate the arguements about preds losing to the main characters. Though I guess I could use the arguement that the first predator was obviously very arrogant. It hunted alone and when surprised it just shot the hell out of everything. I can also say that the predator in the second movie was clearly much younger and inexperienced. Also danny got lucky that he managed to hit the low end plasma castor it was carrying or else he would have been toast.Keep in mind even an inexperienced Pred is very tough. It managed to wipe the floor with Keyes entire team and several groups of well armed gang members up close and personal with many of the killings done with stabbing weapons.
If we want to talk uber-tough though I don't know if Dachande has been brought up yet. A clan leader and one of the best Predators that ever lived. This guy was known as Broken Tusk. The only predator to ever take an alien with his bare hands. This guy routinely tooled several aliens at a time with just a spear and his wristblades. He killed a second alien with his barehands in the story by shoving his hand in its mouth and ripping its throat out.
These things live for centuries maybe more. The older the tougher to have survived such a rough society. All they do is fight it out with eachother, train, and hunt. Their entire lifestyle is based on an honor system that is based around the hunt.
I love wolvie but he's just not coming out of this one. If the pred in question is well trained its just too damn tough for wolvie. Back when I used to play Avp2 online I routinely challenged anyone playing as a queen with a spear and won most of the time too. Sure its a game but the point is the predator's abilities aren't anything to put down. It has a 20-30 foot vertical jump and very resistant to injury.
Thanks for repeating everything we've already said.
