actually, from the sc cinematics I saw in the campaign, they look very scrawny, and their knee joints bend the other way, they look kind of frail, which is to be expected for a race that evolved that far. Id say their armor is the only thing keeping them from getting splattered all over the place.

check out artanis and zeratul here.

technically they're like 7 feet tall and even the lesser zealots could take down the strongest built human in a no weapons brawl

"They watched over a particular species of hunters and warriors and discerned that they indeed had a purity of form, as they were incredibly adaptable and had unmatched strength and speed. However, the most intriguing ability of the species is a psionic link that is shared by the entire race. This link was a form of instinctive telepathy, enabling them to communicate with one another, so that even large groups could work together efficiently.[1]"

"All protoss have a degree of psionic power, the zealots using theirs exclusively on the art of war. Using a limited form of precognition, zealots can predict enemy movements, striking with deadly accuracy and dodging attacks. After the Brood War, some zealots developed the ability to turn their body into pure energy for a few microseconds. This allows them to move at lightning-fast speeds and strike suddenly against an enemy that thinks they are out of range. Seething with shame at the loss of Aiur, the zealots have dedicated themselves to more intense physical training as well.[1] This includes duels at the end of their training, which appears to have the potential to be shortened."

of course Protoss would kick a human's ass, they're huge fucking aliens that exemplify the "purity of form"....plus they're just awesome sauce.

Protoss zealots are physically stronger then humans by a large margin no doubt, since they're just way bigger and train for decades in physical combat before learning to use psi to make shields and blades.
However, without the armor they probably are fairly vulnerable to bullets or force or whatever, as seen when you shoot a DT. Sure it still survives better then a marine, but not by much.

It says in the manual Zealots are 3 meters tall -- which is 9.8 feet.

I think protoss are like japanese, they are really smart and are always one step ahead in technology, but when it comes to phisical capability they suck.

So to sum up, If the protoss wouldn't be wearing that kick ass suit he would get his ass kicked just like a 80 yo man, on the other hand if he would be wearing it he would definetly Z ALOT (like zorro) ! ahaha FAIL joke :D

How the hell can we match these guys physical feats? I mean come on, look at how Zeratul cut the living crap out of these Aliens.

I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Zealots are wimps.
What the fuck is this "WE CANNOT HOLD" crap. They've obviously lost their devotion and discipline in SC2, thus rendering them less powerful.
