who would win in a fight a jedi or a zelot????

Sith are included.

lightsabre>Psionc wrist blade thingies
Force>Weak psionic powers(mind speech)
Dark side>light side for combat

Thus a Sith wins in personal combat.

A Dark Templar would be a more likely candidate but I would still go with a Sith. An Archon would probably win against an average powered Sith or Jedi but lose to really powerful ones. A Dark Archons could go either way, the extent of their power does not seem clear to me.

I'd go with a Sith. The 'true' Protoss capabilities have been dumbed down for StarCraft, though, as evidenced by the fact that they are capable of burning entire worlds. For this reason, I think both kinds of Templar and both kinds of Archon are a lot more powerful than they seem.

The dumbing down is the result of uncertainty regarding a Dark Archon, nor can we know if MC would work on a being such as a Jedi or Sith, the same goes for feedback and Maelstorm(sp) also they would have various other abilities.

I think that Zealots are accurately placed however but for Archons and Dark Templars it is hard to tell.

I would say Sith, because a jedi would ally the protoss and the Sith are all up in that with their lightning and choking and killing of innocent life....

Yeah Zealot=dead dead and more dead.

The templar.......would prove equal. High temp are more like consulars, and the Dark temp are what the protoss should be with all their power unleashed.
Archon against Sith would possibly be the same, a lightsabre can't cut energy, though the force powers might best it in a long fight. Same with DA's.

I say the zelot because they're fucking cheap, and they're Protoss. Actually... the Force is just as dumb and cheap... they would all kill each other at the same time.

Zelot: Walks up into machine gun and tank fire and kills a bunker and all its occupants and then damages the tank.

Force: Magically makes a tree fall down on top of a Storm Trooper brigade. Then summons a mass of lighting from hands and kills all and then goes to eat luch while laying down but cooks it and cuts it and prepares it with the Force. Jesus.

Although I've long learned not to argue with you at all, especially when the subject involves magic, I need to do something here.

Not only do the Protoss have psionic abilities, but they have shields and heavy armour. The zealot is no exception; it wears heavy armour and has a personal shield. If you think gauss bullets and randomly-fired tank shells are going to pierce an energy shield easily, you're wrong. Would a high-speed spike be able to pierce the Enterprise's shields? What about a shell?

As far as game balance is concerned, you have not played the Protoss in a long time. The zealot takes the longest of all starting units to build, and it costs the most at double what a marine costs and quadruple what a zergling costs. While a zealot will likely kill two marines easily, and probably four lings, it gets weaker as the masses grow larger (including the mass of zealots), especially against zerglings. Yes, it is powerful against marines; you know why? Marines can attack air units. This is why the whole game does not revolve around the starting units. Marines are also an ideal defense when placed in bunkers. They also get stim packs and, when a group of four is coupled with a medic, can easily take out zealots, as the stim pack damage is healed quickly.

On the other hand, there's no point disputing what you think of the Force, as it is impossible to really argue over magic. I don't really care for the Force myself, preferring normal systems of magic.

But yeah, whatever.

well from what i've read the zealot would stand a pretty good chance against a jedi

Is that even a fair comparison?
