vs

Tyrannosaurus Rex
http://monsterarchives.proboards.com/in ... hread=2259

Arena:Isla Sorna.

Rules: All scaled.
Retreat enabled.
No interference.

Verdict: Gwangi might be able to win this. The T-rex's bite might do damage, but Gwangi was able to take a goring of a Styracosaurus without any damage. Of course, the T-rex could win if it gets it's jaws around Gwangi's neck, but Gwangi isn't gonna let that happen. Eventually, the T-rex will back down before Gwangi.

Gwangi is the most overrated goddamn thing on this forum. First of all his bite is absolute shit. That alone is going to be a big factor. It failed to kill an Elephant with multiple bites to the throat, and it also failed to kill a Styracosaurus. An actual Allosaurus has a terrible bite force, and is comparable to Gwangi's. The female Rex is going to dominate in this fight, most likely using her head to ram Gwangi. A bite from the Rex will leave Gwangi hurt pretty badly.

Just to mention, this is the Bull Rex from the second film.

That's really not going to change anything.

An actual Allosaurus has a terrible bite force,

Wrong. Allosaurus had a pretty weak bite in terms of pressure, actually.

The Rex won't be able to do squat to Gwangi aside from annoy him. Seriously, think about it: having the equivalent of greater than his own body weight focused onto a single sharp point failed to penetrate his skin. Scaled, a Rex's jaws would be able to exert pressure equal to less than half his body weight. A bite from the Rex would literally do nothing to him. Gwangi's jaws, on the other hand, will tear into the Rex just fine. He's also got that habit of pulling his legs out from under his opponents to trip them, which would prove extremely effective against the Rex.

Isn't that what I said?

Anyways, a Tyrannosaur's teeth we're more for crushing. A bite on Gwangi is going to result in either a big chunk of Gwangi going wherever the Rex's head goes or a bunch of broken bones. And Gwangi was squealing in pain when the Styracosaur was attempting to gore him so he's not as almighty as everyone seems to think. Gwangi's bite isn't going to do much to the Rex because his bite is pretty shit and that's his only real weapon. If Gwangi attempts to go for the Rex's legs he risks getting his neck torn out.

Gwangis a Tyrallosaurus so his bite force is likely higher than an allosaur. And I'm sure the blunt force from the styraco's blow hurt like hell, even though his hide wasn't even scratched.

Oh, you meant terrible as in "terribly weak." I thought you meant it in the sense of "terribly strong." My bad.

Dude, if that rockslide didn't even so much as bruise him, there's no way in hell the Rex is going to break his bones no matter WHAT it does.

And Gwangi was squealing in pain when the Styracosaur was attempting to gore him so he's not as almighty as everyone seems to think.

Well yeah, I'm sure it didn't feel good. If I jabbed you really hard with a pencil, you'd probably squeal too. But that doesn't mean it was close to doing any damage.

Where you're getting that Gwangi's bite sucks is beyond me.

Already covered this.

Gwangi failed to kill an Elephant and a Styracosaur with direct bites to the throat/neck. It took multiple bites to do any real damage. It also couldn't bite through the Styracosaur's frill or nasal horn which leads me to believe that his bite is weaker then a Tyrannosaur's. A Tyrannosaurus could bite through a Triceratops' frill and horns.

He only bit the elephant on the neck, and it basically dropped as soon as he did and never got back up.

It took multiple bites to do any real damage.

He doesn't have huge teeth. But every time he bit, he shredded flesh, especially on the elephant. The Styracosaurus had really tough skin, as evidenced by the fact that the spear that Carlos stabbed it with barely even stuck into it, and even fell out on its own after a couple seconds.

It also couldn't bite through the Styracosaur's frill or nasal horn which leads me to believe that his bite is weaker then a Tyrannosaur's. A Tyrannosaurus could bite through a Triceratops' frill and horns.

The Styracosaurus' horns were thicker than a Triceratops', especially in comparison to the jaws and teeth of their respective attackers. And the Styraco's nasal horn was still straining under the pressure of his bite.

well a tyrannosaurus has one of the most powerful bites of any animal in the fossil record, so t-rex whoops gwangi

[Feline-Owl]

Tyrannosaurus.

Gwani's not bad in a fight, but his bites are not that powerful. They will not do much against a Tyrannosaurus. The T-rex, on the other hand, is very large and heavy, so it won't go down easy. And its bite force should easily rip off chunks of Gwangi's hide.

Yes I did.

I eye twitched because I covered two of your three points already in this thread. That's why I asked it you read the previous posts.

This is the only one I didn't cover before. Remember, matches are scaled. So the fighters are comparably sized. And Gwangi had no trouble against either of his opponents in the movie, both of which outweighed him and were much more stable than T-rex thanks to them being quadrupedal.

I see. Next time, don't say anything in a thread if someone else already said it?

Or in the future, do I highlight a quote someone mentioned and bring that up if it's similar to what I was going to say?

Is this a rule I overlooked?

No. It's just pretty silly to give a particular reasoning for something in a thread when someone else has already quite thoroughly shot said reasoning down just a few posts prior. It does nothing to further the discussion, and just makes it seem like you're not paying attention.

[Feline-Owl]

hmm, it does when I stop to think about it....

I'll take note of that in the future.

[XxComablack1937xX]

Tyrannosaurus Rex i believe would take out Gwangi with minimal effort. More mass, bigger, more then likely smarter an a stronger bite clearly gives the Rex major advantages.

I happen to like both predators though.

[kikomia]

Gwangi is overrated. Sooner or later he will face King Ghidorah...
