Poll: the Arbiter from halo 3 vs Zeratul from starcraft

[xam883]

alright ive had this thought in my head for awhyle if zeratul and the arbiter were fighting who
would win instead of just asking people i know i decided that i should let a portion of the internet decide who won the epic fight.

 

[xam883]

Zeratul, because I think we all know who copied who here.

that and he can teleport

Might as well let you know, since you're new here, VS threads really aren't welcome on The Escapist. They rarely go as planned, especially with the recent boom in new members.

 

[Moonmover]

The Arbiter can turn invisible once in a while for a short period of time.

Zeratul is always invisible.

Zeratul wins.

 

[blackhole1]

The arbiter loses anyway, since Bungie really ruined his character in Halo 3. In halo 2 he was probably the only naratively interesting character, the only one with some actual growth. In halo 3 he was just reduced to MC's sidekick. Worst call Bungie ever made IMHO.

Then there is Zeratul. Do I really need to explain the sheer amount of awesome that fills the room when he opens his mouth (figuratively speaking)? Honestly, he's probably one of the greatest tragic heroes in video game history.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to mine some more minerals so I have something to stop the inevitable bungiefanboy rush.

Hmm. Jim Raynor vs. Master Chief, Arbiter vs. Zeratul, and that wierd holographic dark elf vs. Cortana. So many fun/funny matchups here.

 

[CoverYourHead]

Well, Zeratul can teleport, has psi moves, can paralyze people, and took on a small army of zerg by himself and won.

The Arbiter is only occasionally invisible, took on a small army of flood with a small amount of covenant and kinda won, can't teleport, and isn't psychic.

Zeratul. By a lot.

 

[CalCD]

There is no contest, they're exactly the same.

 

[L4hlborg]

Zeratul is invisible. Arbiter has limited invisibility, even for covenant.

Zeratul can teleport. The Arbiter can't.

Zeratul has 2 energy blade thingies. Arbiter has one.

I think Zeratul wins this one.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Don't even know who the other one is, so I'm gonna say "Arbiter".

He's just badass.

 

[Veleste]

Zeratul is 100% pure badassery distilled into a Protoss.

 

[olendvcook]

Don't even know who the other one is, so I'm gonna say "Arbiter".

He's just badass.

Zeratul is a Starcraft character

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

He's just badass.

Zeratul is a Starcraft character

Yeah, thanks. I didn't figure that out from the thread title. Still going with Arbiter.

 

[The Madman]

For reference for those few, poor souls which haven't played Starcraft, this is Zeratul:


I honestly don't see how the Arbiter could win against him.

Really...? Don't get me wrong, I like the guy and I love SC2, but one of 'the greatest tragic heroes in video game history'? Really?

Yeah, thanks. I didn't figure that out from the thread title. Still going with Arbiter.

To be fair you voted without knowing both characters, and you voted for the Arbiter so your intelligence kinda fell into question.

(That was pretty unwaranted so feel free to report me. I just felt like being a dick when I saw your sarcasm)

Naw, it's all good. I did kind of have it coming. The sarcasm was a bit of a dick move.

 

[technoted]

Zeratul just refuses to go down, has psychic powers and is awesome, the Arbiter is awesome but lacks the brilliance or power to defeat Zeratul.
