This is not a hard question. Lurker wins hands down in a 1v1 scenario. Even if it's 50v50, lurkers would still win because of their splash and the fact that they kill marines in 2 hits.
Why do people make "half a second to think" topics like these I have no idea... minerals maybe?
If two humans were fighting, lurker would win hands down. If it was a human against a lurker computer, he could strike it run away, strike flee, until he pumps a ton of lead in him.

Yeah, probablly. But then, people reply to it for minerals as well. ^_^
But still, a lurker would win. A lurker would kill a marine in 2-3 hits, but a marine would take MUCH longer to kill the lurker. Lurkers are superior in both damage and health. If it wasnt burrowed, however...thats a differant story

You would need to have some awesome micro skills to pull that off. Good luck finding anybody who can do that.
as a former zerg play i have do say the marine would get

ing owned.
if u have stim on the marine and observer so u can see it... u can dodge the spines shoot. then dodge again then shot.... til it dies.. ive seen boxer do it some times
The answer is too obvious its of course the lurker (pardon my spelling)
The lurker will win even with detectors unless the person with the lurk is retarted.
well if its just normal rine vs lurker no help no rigged stats lurk would own rine, even with detectors
damn wy did he ask its obviose lurkers are way better than marines(lurker is a evolved hydra and hydra already owns marine lol)
but rines can stim dont forget about that factor that makes it atk twice as fast even though its fairly weak but lurks have more dmg and longer range, not really a fair compitition
lurks
(Archons rule them both

)
Not to contradict someone who just got lots of brownie points for putting me in his signature (lol) but... a marine with detectors can kill a lurker, if they have an higher than average micro ability. (not easy)
Marine can see lurk rine CAN win if a newb is controlling it then forget it but an experienced player can dodge the lurkers splash and own it.

Lurker will win. I know it

I'lll upload a replay of a marine killing a lurker when I get home from work.
It all depend wether or not the rine is upgraded. If it is it will probly win. Even with one upgrade of each and stims the rine will win as long as it can c the lurk.
ADDITION: Besides RINES OWN ALL!!!
there was this map called BOXER CONTROL where u try to kill a lurker with a rine and u have unlimited tries and it has a pic of boxer for the mini map, i have a rep of pickleweezle doin it but i cant seem to find the map
i have a rep but it wont allow .rep files >.<
Marine all the way! They can just get far enough from the lurker and it has to start follow it, then the marine can slaughter it with his machine gun!
IT depends on attack upgrades, stim, and U-238 shells.
yay i can add a rep file
