xenomorph vs neomorph. Who would win

In the novel, they ram into each other, a flurry of limbs, and the Xenomorph stands triumphant after disemboweling the Neomorph.

Its a interesting thing to debate and we really dont have not complete DATA to discus how and who would come on top or who would be the more deadlier... depending on enviroment

What i mean is we dont know how a Neomorph Senses its environment and so we cant see if the Xenomorphs darker color would be a advantage in a dark location.

We do not know for sure if the Neomorph has Acid Blood, but we see no evidence to say it does, and so we maybe have to consider it does not.  So the Acid Blood does prove a great defense especially against close range attacks which is all the Neomorph is capable of.

SPEED/AGILITY

Overall from what the Franchise showed us and AC, then it appears the Neomorphs are quicker and more agile, by about 25% to 50% i would assume.  This would be a advantage to the Neomorph.

Xeno 7 vs  Neo 8

STRENGTH/DAMAGE

The Xenomorph is slightly bigger but we can see the Neormorph is Strong too, the Neomorph struggled to kill in the Wheat Field it was held off, but it was not fully grown yet.  A Xenomorph Adult makes short work of its victims.   I would say the Claws and Tail are more deadly on a Xenomorph and it has a 25-50% more chance of causing Harm to a Target i would assume.

But the Neomorphs Jaw/Mouth attack was able to cleanly bit from the shoulder/neck Rosenthalls head off with more ease than a Xenomorphs Jaw attack does which is a Puncture wound, but then the Xenomorphs outer Teeth could pose the same, so i would think from Bite Attacks they are equally Deadly 

Xeno 8 vs Neo 7

DEFENSE/ARMOUR

The Neomorph did take a lot of shots, and it depends what we call upon to compare, we cant say Alien as the Xenomorph was not tested as such,  Aliens the Weapons was more Advanced, but lets not forget a Standard Shotgun and Pistol also did some Damage.

I will say the Neomorph can take more damage to put down, but the Xenomorph Benefits from more Armored Exoskeleton and so i think this comes to again.

Xenomorph 7 vs Neomorph 7

But the Benefit of Acid Blood, means a Neomorph wounding a Xenomorph risks taking Damage from the Acid and so this Bonus, does help the Xenomorph despite only being a Advantage when wounded and so i should add a Point for.

Xeno 8 vs Neo 7

So Total IMO is

Xenomorph 23/30  Neomorph 22/30

However i think we have not seen enough to judge really much, but i cant see the Neomorph improving and i think potentially maybe the Xenomorph could have been given a extra point for attack too... so maybe more a 24/30 vs 22/30

interesting the Novel covered the Fight, and i agree the Xenomorph would likely come out on top, i think the Armour and Acid being a Key Advantage.

I'd say the Xenomorph

from what ripley says in alien3, ''if they send anyone out itl be, here, where the meat is'' imo implying that the xeno know where they r at all times. so if this is true, would the neo be able to surprise the xeno? from what I have heard about the book it says that the neo stalks the crew to the citadel so there is definitely a conscious mind set within the neo and not just pure animalistic traits. id say from what iv seen the neo would find it very difficult to sneak up on the xeno. in ways of attack both r very similar with tails, strength, jaws and claws so it would probably come down to strength in defence. which would have the greater strength in hand to hand. which would manage to ground the other and gain the ontop advantage. I believe the xeno is more methodical in what it does and given its harder outer shell id say it could take at least 1 attack to a non vital area without it troubling the xeno so I could take a calculated risk and allow the neo to gain a strike to enable the xeno to gain a strategic positional advantage. the neo being more fleshy simply cant take the same amount of punishment.

in short id have to back the xeno
