JediNyt Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Only people familiar with Star Craft will understand this. Well what do you think? Now before you all go impulsively clicking Jedi we should take all things into consideration. Jedi pros: Light sabers. Force push, pull, grip, etc. basically powerful telekenesis, lightning, speed, protect, absorb, extra sensory aka Jedi seeing. (These arent just from JK2, Yoda absorbed Dookus lightning and how do you think Obi survived Jangos missle and Bobas canon fire hitting right next to him? Protect.) Jedi cons: Mind trick would not work agaisnt a Protoss. Protoss pros: Psi blades probably equal to lightsabers, Psionic storms probably more powerful than Force lightning, cloaking, extra sensory, can merge into Archons for incredible psionic firepower. Protoss cons: Their mind control abilities would not work agaisnt Jedi. They arent as fast. Its look like they are about equal but it seems to me that Jedi have just an edge over Protoss with their speed and telekinetic powers and well...the Force. But thats just my opinion whats yours? If I left any mentionable abilities out pls post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I voted Jedi. Never played the game, but read the descriptions of the Protoss and followed your logic on it. They may be equal, but one factor is, the Force. It may be like comparing them to Vong. Vong seem better at first, then they equal out, but the Jedi will win. That is why I voted Jedi.

lukeiamyourdad Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Wow tough question... well first of all only high templars have the ability of merging into archons and having psionic storm. only the dark templar have cloaking and the dark archons have the mind control ability. But if there was a mix of these, well it would be equal. but if zealots, high templars, and dark tempars and maybe archons then all of those in an one-on-one against a jedi then I should vote jedi. but I voted equal.

Taos Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Not really knowing what protoss is....I voted for the jedi. I think it's good that you told a little story, but why don't you provide a link as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should atleast know somone who has played the game. I have a question to ask though. Does this include their ships as well like a Reaper, Scout, Corsair? Some one also forgot to mention the Dragoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted January 19, 2003 Author Share Posted January 19, 2003 No of course theyre vehicles dont count. If they did then Id have to put in the Jedi starfighter, theyre other ships and droids and...well duh. A Protoss is not a Carrier just like a Jedi is not a starfighter. Try to think outside of the specifications of the games units even though it is a game and just think about their abilities. I mean a High Templar could carry psi blades if it wanted to. And a Dark Templar could make a psionic storm if it learned to. You see what I mean. I just listed the most important abilities of each side.

Breton Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I think they're about equal if you mix all the Protoss stuff. But there is also one thing JediNyt forgot (obviously) to add about the Protoss: They have energy shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 well. i personally think it is comparin apples with pears... but im voting protoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Protoss,easily. Zealot's Psi-Blades are like lightsabers. Dark Templar's cloaking and near-same skills with thier blade as the jedi will let em win. High templars can psionic them from afar,and archons can just blow em up. All jedi can do it grip and...slash.. And mind trick,but that hardly does good to zealots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boinga1 Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 based on your descriptions, jedi. let's break it down Protoss pros: Psi blades probably equal to lightsabers, Psionic storms probably more powerful than Force lightning, cloaking, extra sensory, can merge into Archons for incredible psionic firepower. in a swordfight, probably a jedi, because they have the Force and all so they are 'precognitive.' jedi also have superior sensory skills If protoss uses stroms, jedi uses absorb. if protoss uses cloaking, force sight Eh...what's psionic firepower?

Darth Talliusc Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 it really depends i think, if its a full fleet affair and they each get 6 months to prepare, go jedi. but if its an act of the moment thing then protoss would win. just thinking, ok a carrier comes in and drops its 8 interceptors near a jedi, all 8 of em start firing, even if the jedi could deflect the shots and take out the interceptors so that the carrier would be offenseless the jedi still cant win. cant really lose at that point unless the carrier pulls a tassadar and crashes on him but oh well. i have to believe that the dark templars cloaking ability would be limiited but effective vs the jedi so they would be a problem, and dark archons possession would just dessimate the jedi, not to mention the normal archons psionic wave thingy. it really is difficult to say.

JediNyt Posted February 2, 2003 Author Share Posted February 2, 2003 Thats right, a psionic wave, I could remember what it was called. I just said firepower cause well thats what it is. Very devastating. A Jedi would have a hell of a time trying to cut down an Archon. Eventually the Jedi would still win I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeiamyourdad Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Well protoss have so many abilities, more then jedi. I believe a Jedi can't absorb Psionic storm 'cause it doesn't have anything to do with Sith Lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pnut_Man Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Originally posted by teutonicknight Well, you can't really beat the force so.... JEDI! Hell ya! The protoss are goners without their shields (bad memories of losing his nexus shields). The jedi can go to their limits with the force, they would move at amazingly fast speeds, too fast for protoss.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorranSec Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Hmm...... well, I'm not sure. It's difficult to tell what effects each race's abilities would have upon the other. Seeing as they exist in different existences, would the Force work on Protoss? Would all the Protoss powers (which are basically magic and mind powers) work in SW? If the Protoss were 'blank in the Force' like the Vong are, the Protoss would probably win, seeing as the only thing the Jedi have going for them is their great fighting skills, and they can't do anything against the Protoss psy-powers. However, if the Jedi could sense the Protoss in the Force, it's a whole different matter. It'd probably be pretty equal- Psychic powers=Force powers, Psi-blades=lightsabers, and so on.

Swat Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 if u're tokking abt the old jedi order, the jedi may win. but if u're tokking the new order, the protoss's fleet is 2 big 4 a 100 jedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 I think protoss would win against a jedi cuz dont they have the shield you have to go through then there HP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 I actually think the Protoss would win. Just imagine a Protoss Dark Templar (those are invisible, if you didn't know), with the powerful shields and high strength of an archon. Give him the Dark Archons cunning abilities, including mind control, and the destructive abilities of a high templar. Let's say he's even got the abilities of a corsair. I belive such creatures would be able to defeat Jedis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
