Specials or Vampires?
Becides their wiring? I think the only thing that Specials have is the way their brains are set up.........
But that's not a good thing, is it? Or can they use it for their advantage?
I think the vampires would win because they can't be hurt by Specials......... And in combat, wouldn't the wiring be a good thing?
Yeah, the wiring is a good thing in combat. And also, Specials have hoverboards (so they can fly- vampires can't) and sharp fingernails. So that makes Specials one up than vampires now (vampires: fangs and deadness, specials: wiring, hoverboards and fingernails.) I think that Specials would win, for some reason...mainly because they've got hoverboards and the wiring and other technology.How come vampires can't be hurt by Specials? Specials could knock them out with their needles or cut them up with their teeth/fingernails or crunch their bones with their strength!
May I remind you that the only thing that can get through vampire skin is werewolf teeth?
Really? Are you sure about that?Don't forget, also vampire teeth can get through vampire skin, too...so does that mean that vampire teeth are sharper than Special teeth? If they aren't, I think that Specials could be able to- because if/when Stephenie said that, she didn't know there was a such creature with teeth as sharp as a vampire!
*Cocks head* You know, that's true....... Hmmm........ Sorry if I sounded prissy, BTW.
That's okay!So yeah, I still think that Specials would win. XD
thats a hard question,it probably depends on whos fighting who(the characters)
um. now that i have read twilight i can give you my professional opinion...I dont' know.
Vampires would win you stupid people! (no offense!) Were-wolfs were kinda created to destroy vamps, so they can rip through their skin, and the vamps have venom on their teeth. They're not sharp. It specifically says that In book 1!!!!
vamps and were-wolfs are the only creatures that can kill vamps.
but thats what it says in twilight, what about actual myth, what does it say their?
well they don't kno specials exsist do they??? mwhahahaha
Naomi, when Meyer wrote that werewolves were the only creatures that could kill vampires, she didn't know that Specials existed, did she? And I bet that Specials' teeth are just as sharp as werewolf teeth! I still think Specials would win.Hey, did you say that vampires don't have sharp teeth? That's not true! Of course they do!
Special's teeth are pretty much sharpened pretty teeth. And no, Vamps teeth are NOT sharp! Remember in Eclipse when Edward is saying everyone's ridiculas (I know I can't spell) for wearing the pointed vampire teeth? And in Twilight when Bella's asking him all those questions about whether or not the myths are true? They just have the Venom.
Specials' teeth are as sharp as werewolf teeth, I'm pretty sure!And no, vampires teeth ARE sharp! Edward was saying that the myths of FANGS are ridiculous, but they still have sharp teeth! They just don't have FANGS. How else do they bite, and hunt, if they didn't have sharp teeth? Have you read Breaking Dawn, Naomi? If you have, it's OBVIOUS that vampires have sharp teeth. **SPOILER ALERT** How else would they have gotten Renesmee out? I recall Jacob saying things about the vampire's sharp teeth to do so right before Bella gives birth. If you don't remember, re-read Breaking Dawn!! **SPOILER OVER** Plus, all through the series, Edward and the other vampires make many comments about their sharp teeth. Plus, why do you think Edward has to be so careful when kissing Bella? So his sharp teeth don't cut her, because then he'll get venom in her bloodstream!
Aha! Here's PROOF that vampires have sharp teeth:
This quote was taken WORD FOR WORD from New Moon, page 16:
"Edward had drawn many careful lines for our physical relationship, with the intent being to keep me alive. Though I respected the need for maintaining a safe distance between my skin and his RAZOR-SHARP, venom-coated teeth, I tended to forget trivial things like that when he was kissing me."
HA! Vampires DO have sharp teeth!
((Sorry if I sounded rude in this post. I just get very excited when I'm proving my point! Lol. XD))
I think vampires would win, but I may be biased.
You're welcome? (Are you thanking me for agreeing with you? If so, it was my pleasure)
'Fine' as in you agree with me/I'm right? Yay! XD
guys.. get it straight. werewolves could totally take out both specials and vampires. at least one werewolf in particular... jacob black!!!<3<3
hmmm, ya know that might be true, but we were talking about vampires vs. specials.
Hahaha. I agree. Specials would annihilate Jacob Black. Vampires...are almost too perfect, but Specials, they're really something. Vampires are just...well old, literally. Specials are new, advanced and made uber with all their hi-tech gadgets and things. Sneak suits, razor sharp teeth, nails, super "icy" senses, hoverboards, and nanos laced through their bodies to make them super strong, super fast and gives them super repairing skills. Still I'm not sure if they can take on a vampire, it being dead and almost impervious to everything...except fire, apparently. But maybe if a Special had a flame thrower, or maybe a mini "contained" nuke...now that might change the outcome of the fight. =P
Ahem, Since when is Bella old????Are you saying you think vampires or specials would win?
Specials would totally flatten any werewolf, Jacob included. I think they would totally win over vampires. Unless they were going against someone like Benjamin or Zaphrina or Kate or Jane or anyone else with a really strong vampire power...
Hmm maybe, but what if specials created a mind-shielding device and put it in their head? It's possible right =O?
Actually, it is possible. They could put a strong kind of nano in their brains, just like the lesions, that protects their mind. So yes, specials WOULD win!! Yay!!
Haha woo! Specials are just too smart, brains and hi tech gadgets beats brawn and mind powers anyday. xDDOh and Naomi, I think I choose specials in the end. There's so much they could come up with! It's limitless! But with vampires their abilities and stuff have already been set in stone (HAH! pun xD), whereas specials can keep on making up new wondrous things to take out the vampires with. Besides, if the specials had a mini, self-contained nuke launcher/intense flame thrower thingy, you know, weapons of mass pyro destruction, they could easily incinerate the vampires, since fire is like Kryptonite to them! And if they weren't fighting the Cullens (don't ever want that to happen!!), the specials could easily chuck an AB- blood bag somewhere, divert the vampire's attention and then take 'em out. See, even Victoria was diverted for a mere split second by Bella trying to cut herself, and she didn't even get that far! Specials are too icy to be so easily distracted. =P So that's my answer! XD
Those are REALLY good reasons, PandaRanda!! I agree!! XD

I was thinking about this for awhile and it's hard...Specials have a lot of powers that Meyer's vampires do...sharp teeth, strength, really good muscles, sharp senses and reflexes, speed...so which one are better, are more powerful? If they met in a fight who would win?
There are a few things that vampires have that Specials don't...they have venom in their veins and they can bite. Also, specials can be killed like a normal human, but it takes more work to kill a vampire, because they're dead.
But also, Specials have things that vampires don't...like the rewiring in their minds, which can be really useful in an attack...and sharp fingernails. Plus they have hoverboards so they can fly, and other high-tech stuff. Plus, they have Sneak Suits, so they can be invisible, and have armor and stuff.
So if Specials and Vampires came together in a fight, I think Specials would win...they have the advantage of flying and they could cut the vampires to pieces with their razor-sharp teeth and nails. Their teeth is probably as sharp as a vampire's, so they would be able to cut through vampire skin. And they can be invisible and stuff.
Oh wait...but some vampires have those "special powers" (i.e. Edward reading minds, Jasper's emotion-controlling, Alice's future-reading) so maybe they would have a better chance??
What do you think?
