On a one-on-one basis, I think we can all agree that both Jason and the T-800 have very specific vulnerabilities. Those weaknesses aside, these are killing machines that can take a nearly endless beating... Who comes out on top clearly depends on environmental factors as much as anything.
At the same time, what are we really talking about here?
Terminators are really just an extension of SkyNet, right? And some kind of supernatural entity is backing Jason, right?
Really, this is a fight between Skynet and the evil that fuels the unlife of Jason Vorhees. While we know that Jason's evil comes from Hell, what is it exactly? If we're talking about Satan in the Christian, Revelations sense of the word, fate pretty much trumps anything SkyNet has going for it. If Jason is on life support from some kind of "Hell Dimension" more along the lines of Lovecraft, then we're getting into more interesting areas.
Could SkyNet conquer another dimension? Almost definitely, when you consider that SkyNet places a premium on the development of crossdimensional travel and is making strides. On the other hand, the mere existence of Jason suggests that Hell's crossdimensional influence hasn't come too far, despite having had thousands of years, at least, for research and development.
Is Hell absolute? If not, the smart money is on SkyNet.
Tenny, you know i love terminators, but please see Jason X for a demonstration of just how Jason may be able to kick a terminator's ass down the street.
