Team jacob: In both of their entirety's the wolfs are better than the vampires

The vampires from Twilight are better than the werewolves. These are 7 reasons why: 1. Looks - In appearance, just ignore the abomination that is Robert Pattinson, the vampires are equal, if not superior, to the werewolves. Though the wolves have their tans and their bulging muscles, the vampires have a very refined, cultured and sexy look to them. Pale skin was once and, in many cases, is still prized as very beautiful, they all have an "aphrodisiac" appeal on humans that the wolves lack, and sparkles are visually appealing (if nothing else). 2. The Sparkles - Though many have scoffed at the sparkles of the Twilight vampires and said that it makes them "not cool", the sparkles are a distinct advantage over the alternative (Bursting into flames while "cool" is not very practical). Though in combustible cases this would give the wolves a distinct advantage, in this case it evens the playing ground. 3. The Size - Out of the gutter perverts, I mean the number of creatures in their species. The wolves of Twilight are limited to the Quileute packs which only consist of about 20 wolves. In Breaking Dawn Part 2 (BD2) the Cullens are able to gather an additional 18 vamps to their pack of 8 leaving them with more man power than the wolves already, and the Volturi brought to the "battle" a number that looked to be almost twice that size. This leaves the number of 100% certain vampires at a minimum of 60, and there are hundreds more implied vampires across the entire world. Their influence gives the vampires an obvious advantage. 4. Who would win? - In physical strength the vampires and the werewolves are almost even. The one advantage the vampires have is when they are newborns. As shown by Bella's actions at the beginning of BD2 young vampires are much stronger than even the most skilled wolves, she's able to take on two at a time and best both. After the vampires have matured, though their strength has faded to equal the wolves, their immortality has given them more time to hone their skills and strategically best the wolves. In an all out fight the vampires would win, not only because of their superior skills, but also because of their venom. It was said in Twilight that vampire venom will automatically kill any werewolf and the wolves do not have an advantage like that over the vamps. 5. Life Span - Vampires are immortal; werewolves are not. 6. Detection - Werewolves choose to spend their entire lives in one location even though they age at a decelerated rate; this makes them vulnerable to detection. Their body heat and fast healing also makes them easy to detect. 7. Physical Advantages - Both werewolves and vampires have heightened senses, but if on the scale of abilities humans are at a 1 then wolves are at a 4 and vampires are at a 10 as shown by Bella's vision at the beginning of BD2. Though the actual acuteness of the wolf's abilities is uncertain, it can be inferred that it is less than that of the vampire's. The skin of a vampire is harder and more protective than that of a wolf, and vampires are not subjected to the "pack mind" like wolves are. I would love to hear your rebuttal to these points and any others you feel necessary to bring up. :) ~Kat
