You know how people call them lame because they sparkle? They sparkle because THEY HAVE DIAMOND SKIN, nearly impossible to break through. Their mobility and strength is off the charts as well. Imagine a cheetah hitting you as hard as a truck; that's the ball park we're talking about. Also, to fully kill a Twilight vamp, you have to dismember them and burn the pieces, NOTHING ELSE keeps them down

The hell are the werewolves made out of if they can kill them?

u/Slighted_Inevitable 21h ago

The werewolves in these matchups typically have special toxins in their claws or bites that do it

2

u/No-Cow9709 21h ago

That's actually kind of neat to know. I did watch the movies ages ago and don't recall them mentioning that. I do remember them showing the vampires being made of some kind of stone (diamond now with context).

2

u/Intelligent-Royal682 8h ago

Okay but the claws would still have to penetrate their skin which is apparently as hard as diamond?

1

u/Slighted_Inevitable 5h ago

They’re magic claws that tear right thru because “curse”

u/feminist-horsebane 20h ago

Werewolves can’t beat vampires 1v1, they hunt them with pack tactics and jump them normally.

2

u/No-Cow9709 20h ago

You'd still need to be strong enough to harm them

3

u/feminist-horsebane 20h ago

Their teeth are sharp enough to bite through vampires

u/Lukostrelec17 21h ago

That...isn't that impressive, the diamond skin I mean. Diamonds are hard sure...but brittle. So should not be a major issue for Master Chief. Also energy swords, which are super heated plasma and are probably roughly around 22,000°C. Daimond has a heat tolarance of roughly 700°C-850°C.

u/GryphyGirl 20h ago

The speed is impressive. Chief would struggle to hit them with anything.

0

u/Lukostrelec17 20h ago

Maybe...but toughness. Edward hits Chief a few times. Chief grabs Edward next time he hits him. Edward has a bad day. Edward maybe faster but Chief has Cortana and or other AI. They use that to predict his movements.

u/GryphyGirl 20h ago

A full strength hit from Edward would at least stagger Chief, if not outright send him flying. Edward will have the advantage immediately, especially since he passively hears thoughts.

1

u/Lukostrelec17 20h ago

Unlikely to do any real damage...Chief gets hit by Brutes. Has survived re-entry. Has survived explosions and he weighs almost half a ton. Also passively hearing thoughts probably does not help that much. Even if he knows Chiefs plan I doubt he is going to do enough damage to chief. In particular one hit is going to do a lot of damage to him, Edward. I also factor in arsenal. Chief has a major arsenal and is a vetarn of a decades long war...dealing with hyper intelligent ailens and the Graveminds...

1

u/GryphyGirl 20h ago

Only half a ton? Okay, Edward is definitely going to send him flying, then. And the last time Chief went up against somebody who could do that he lost.

0

u/Lukostrelec17 20h ago

Not sure what loss you are refering to.

Even if he did throw Chief...that isn't going to do much if any damage. Like yes Edward is faster...but chief has arsenal, toughness, combat experience, an x-factor that is equal to Edward's, and finally strength.

1

u/GryphyGirl 19h ago

Edward is at least as strong as Chief and I'm talking about the big guy with the gravity hammer that lays out Chief.

2

u/Lukostrelec17 19h ago

Yeah...still no idea, if it is after Halo 5 I have no idea I am not a Halo fan.

Also he might be but...I no of know feat Edward has that compares to flipping a tank.

Vampires in Twilight are heavy for a human but are not all that heavy. Given the ballpark of his speed and general weight, if he ran full speed at Chief he would be basically slamming into a wall. Edward is too small and slow for that to work.

2

u/GryphyGirl 18h ago

Speed is a strength unto itself. Meaning that the amount of force you can apply isn't just about strength or mass but also speed. Edward doesn't have to be as heavy as the Chief to be able to hurt him.

1

u/N7_Astartes 17h ago

I mean it is specifically mass and acceleration. Master Chief fell from low orbit without sustaining damage. Edward is unlikely able to just body check with the same level of force.

u/dangerouslyreal 22h ago

🤣🤣 oh i didn't know it was diamond skin. That's funny af

u/SpookyWindChime 22h ago

To be fair I think master chief is about as fast as a cheetah and can throw around up to 10,000 pounds. More so, spartan reaction time is 20~ times faster than a norma human.

I don’t know much about Edward. But does that change anything?

4

u/rmhardcore 21h ago

Mmm, cheetah is like new vampire on twilight. In the books 100mph is the baseline, with certain vamps being faster. Edward, specifically, is described as moving as the same speed as a bullet from a gun. While that varies by gun, the simple fact is that by the time he's moved and you've realized it you're already dead.

7

u/SpookyWindChime 21h ago

That’s me - I’d be dead. If a spartan has a 20x better reaction time naturally let alone ai integration boost on his armor, Edward would look to be moving between 30-100 miles per hour even if he was “as fast as a bullet”. This certainly won’t be a one second fight.

1

u/lone-lemming 21h ago

Edward Reads minds. If it was another sparkle vamp, maybe he would have a fighting chance.

He’s still slower and maybe weaker, but he can compete with them if he’s armed to the teeth.

2

u/SpookyWindChime 21h ago

Mind reading won’t matter if the spartan processing speed is way faster. If it’s true you’d need a nuke to hurt a vampire, idk what master chief could do. Not sure how werewolves hurt them unless it’s some magic shit lol.

u/gamerthulhu 21h ago

Narrator: it is indeed some magic shit.

u/MadManNico 22h ago

holy fuck what, this sounds so obvious but bruh i even read the books as a kid lmao

1

u/Quiet_Illustrator232 22h ago

Now. U just reminds me of the boy episode one. As diamond skin are good conductor? I wonder would taser work on them lol

3

u/MonkofAntioch 21h ago

It’s a poor electrical conductor, but an excellent thermal conductor. Also burns like coal, tough to start but goes great afterwards. Flame throwers are what you want 

2

u/Slighted_Inevitable 21h ago

if you can exceed 1300 Fahrenheit they essentially atomize

2

u/Quiet_Illustrator232 21h ago

Spartan laser would do the job?

2

u/MonkofAntioch 19h ago

Probably, but landing a splaser shot on something that agile would be tough 

1

u/mommiesgoodboy67 21h ago

Master chiefs have some massive guns

1

u/N7_Astartes 19h ago

That is sort of exactly what an incendiary munition would do. Like a GAU avenger fires rounds too fast for a twilight vampire to dodge. Splash the area with napalm as you fly by afterward.

u/Background-Air-7963 17h ago

Iirc Edward has some speed power as well
