Survive the AVP Pyramid

Force Choke is a bad idea. It means Vader will remain stationary. Not only can the other Predators or Xenos attack like Rob said, but even if it was a 1v1, the Predator can still fire his Plasma Canon, Gauntlets etc.

Except lightsaber can't defend against a plasma cannon...

The size of blasts vary. He throw the saber as well.

Besides theire not even the front runner. That would have to go to Star Trek or Terminator.

the force choke has never required the user to be stationary. luke did it while casually walking by with a gesture he didnt even look at the gammoreans in question.

the only thing that matters when using force powers is how well you can focus while doing it. for most people its easier to concentrate when theyre standing in one position not jumping around wildly. vader and luke dont seem to have this problem.

but regardless i dont think vader specifically has the skills to handle this. hes too slow even by eu standards.

Which movie/scene has this happened, as I don't recall that?

return of the sith. he fights cin drallig with one hand and chokes someone else with the other.

edited. obiwan and yoda look at iton a holocam.

Cin Drallig being limited to a Holocron is ghey.

Each group is transported to the Pyramid from AVP. One group will go at a time so that they're not all in at the same time. If atleast one member of a group survives or completes the task that group wins. Groups are only initially told that they face certain death once stepping inside. Assume that all groups WILL WORK TOGETHER and stick together. No splitting up.

Pyramid Contains:
- Many different rooms and Pyramid reconfigures every 30 min.
- Infested with Xenomorphs(Drones, Face Huggers, Eggs, ONE QUEEN in basement.)
- 3 Yautja(Predator) seen in film AVP are armed with their everything they had in the film except for there Nukes. Assume Yautja cloak makes them invisible to all.
- Creature from the film Doom.

I'll respond to Scenario A first....

Team A: I dont think they would give a shit, I think they would say "bring the pain."

Team B: Prolly, but Blade doesnt make it.

Team C: Hell no, they are loud as ****, the queen will hear them and get pissed haermm

Team D: None except the Borg drone would make it.

Team E: Team E is strong, but one splash of acid on Vaders breathing apparatus and he is done.

Team F: This team is the best, they clear without waking the alien queen easily.

Explain your reasons for your opinion on Team D.

One splash of acid and they are done. Maybe two or three for Data.

Phasers [on max setting] can completely disintegrate a being and from a very great distant. Acid splash is highly unlikely for the Star Trek team

having a long range attack is all well and good but that only matters if the enemy is caught in the open from a long distance away. taking an aliens typical attack style into consideration it makes sense to assume that the trek team probably won't engage any aliens until theyre only a few meters away. the pyramid in the movie is all very narrow hallways with high ceilings and the visibility is nearly zero for human eyes. the terrain is completely in favor of the aliens to sneak up on the trek team and get in a favorable distance.

They can still completely vaporized someone/thing from a foot away, meaning acid splash won't be a factor for them here. Was just pointing out that they have very long range, if applicable.

Picard's Tricoder and the Drone's scanning capabilities make a surprise attack hightly unlikely.

i dont know anything at all about star trek tech i can only go off of what ive seen in the few episodes ive seen so i wont press the issue lol. but im still somewhat skeptical that they can make it through completely. it would only take one splash to kill any of them. im not sure they could remain untouched if they are attacked enmasse in a tight quartered area.

Let me enlighten you a bit then, if you don't mind.

The Tricoders can give them a layout of the Pyramid, what paths to take, where they can defend themselves etc. They can also find life/energy signatures, so they will know what and when it's coming.

A Phaser set to max completely vaporizes what it hits, ie there is nothing left (no acid splash). It also has settings for narrow or wide beams, so they can hit more than one enemy per fire, if the targets are somewhat close.

Data is extremely fast, durable and strong and when his 'I'm going to kick everyone's ass mode' is turned on, he's a beast. He also can think and come up with solutions at lightning speeds.

The Drone is slow, but durable and strong, it also has scanning capabilities am can assimilate other lifeforms. ie it could turn a Predator or the Doom monster to their side, it may also be able to do this to the Xenos, considering it's technology is one of the most advanced and adaptive in the Stat Trek universe.

Both Worf and Picard can handle their own, especially Worf as he's had extensive military/security training.

Edit: Now that I think about it, this team has one of the best chances in pulling off all three scenarios, mainly due to the advanced tech of the phasers and tricoders and the abilities of Data and a Borg Drone.
