This is Smith at his most powerful after he's taken over the Oracle vs. Anakin before the suit at his most powerful. Fight takes place in the matrix and who wins ?

I don't see the same rules applying here to Smith since he's taken over the Oracle. I can see him using it but Smith resisting based off of his power and the fact he's a lot stronger and more powerful than human beings along with the fact he isn't human he's a program.

So you're one of these people who think a force choke/hold can be escaped via brute strength? Nothing in the SW movies suggested that.

Besides, Anakin has precog, he will always know where Smith is gonna be. He doesn't even have to see Smith. He just senses where danger is coming from and have his saber ready to intercept.

Yet somehow Force-Precog can counter a cat like Smith, but not a human-esque wizard. Odd, RJ. Odd.

Difference: A wizard can **** with precog due to the sheer amount of shit it can throw at a Jedi at once. Precog was shown, many times, being overwhelmed.

Smith? All he has is his H2H, precog will work just fine.



Wait, does Smith have his gat?

Cos you're so odd in how you debate.

Really now? no. Overwhelmed by lots and lots of blaster-fire in most cases.

Why doesn't Smith have a gun? He usually has one. Have you seen how fast Smith can move and throw punches?

Darth Martin
A powerful Sith Lord and a Superman-esque character are two different guages of power. Anakin is indeed powerful but not even the most powerful of his group. He's pretty much Kenobi's equal at this point. Windu, Sidious, Dooku, and Palpatine all dwarf him in Force mastery and control.

Even then, Smith would solo every single one of them. This is a guy whose mere flight path caused tornados, whose landings caused craters and earthquakes, who can fly at subsonic speeds, etc.

Odd as in I tend to spank you silly?

Ahahahahaa, don't get me started. I can make a huge list, dude. The SW movies are chocked full of instances where precog failed miserably.


If Smith has a gun, that's different. He probably wins then.

If that helps you get by, I'm cool with you thinking that.

And where it didn't.

So Precog now fails to a bullet?

Yeah, no. Each and every time a Jedi/Sith block a blaster bolt, that's an instance of it working; there are shit loads of those in the films.

But, but, but Vader will know ahead of time, you just said that.

Mhm, and a Jedi blocking twenty bolts is one instance IMO.

K. If Smith rapid fires, which he rarely did, Anakin is gonna have problems.

Wait a minute ? I saw lasers taking out multiple jedi when they were betrayed in the revenge of the sith yet even an agent smith can dodge multiple bullets with ease but you claim Vader is unhittable now ? You claim he senses danger at every turn but despite Obi wan warning him not to jump did so anyways ?

Vader has been beaten multiple times even when he knows he shouldn't do something.

Smith's reaction times, feats of strength are far superior to anything vader has ever done on screen by a country mile.

Why wouldn't I think it can be overcome via strength when it really hasn't killed anyone with supernatural strength like smith or with his reaction feats.

quanchi112
No gun for Smith. I hardly think he needs it and would think that would take away any chances vader does have.

Fail. The fact that you brought up ROTS is fail. The Jedi were unaware they were about to be attacked. Their ability to use the force had diminished, Mace's words.

Name them.

Precog. Anakin is fast enough to precog where Smith will attack from and cut him to ribbons. Smith never moved fast enough so that Anakin would not know his general location. Force push, Smith flies back, followed by force hold, followed by decap.

Why didn't the Gammoreans overcome Luke's force choke then?

umm smith can fly? smith has superhuman durability & strength?
smith can end fight after sticking his hand into a persons chest?

Rogue Jedi
Um, pay attention? Precog, saber swipe.

Guess I'll step in here.

If we're saying that Smith can be killed due to saber blows or Melee damage from Anakin, then the Jedi has a chance.

Jedi Precog when used well, is highly effective.

Problem is, it isn't 100% infallible. There are times when the Precog doesn't tell the Jedi something (depending on the Will of the Force) or the Jedi doesn't react quickly enough to follow it's Will.
(Qui-Gon being impaled by Maul)

However, if Anakin were to go toe-to-toe with Smith, who has a regular damage-soak and this is RotS Anakin, I'd give Anakin a fair shot.

Anakin has faced opponents with crazy reaction-times, I.E. Magnagaurd, Count Dooku, etc, etc, etc. And still one-upped them with his reflexes and Force abilities.

Yes, a Force-choke or TK grip can be broken out of - usually by use of a "Grounding Technique" (Seemessedhatterpoint Novel) that catches and disperses incoming Force energy, and scatters it, dissipating it.

If Anakin used the Force to determine where Smith was going to be (Perceived him running to spot B in the next few moments) and used the Force to grab him and hold him in place, he could do it.

He used the same trick to kill Durge, a multi-thousand year old and highly deadly bounty hunter and Mandalorian-killer.

If he grabbed Smith, either Smith wouldn't be able to move, or by the time he did, Anakin would have already sawed him in half.

Now, what of Smith's gun?

Anakin could block those bullets, and probably bounce them back into the Agent.

This hinges on the potency of Anakin's ESP during this fight, which would depend on the Will of the Force.

If he's supposed to win the fight, and his ESP works favorably, I'd give Anakin a 6/10 chance.

If not, Smith messes him up.

Psychotron
Smith should rape, he's too fast and too strong for Anakin. Also, he can fly.

I'd like to submit to the court the following fact:


Agent Smith is so incredibly durable that a lightsaber would just bounce off of his body.


An object that can survive a punch that causes a shockwave on scale of a nuclear weapon is so incredibly durable that you would have to hold a plasma blade on that object, for a lengthy period of time, to get it to slowly start cutting it (the heat excites the molecules to the point that it starts to break the bonds, very rapidly. On the macroscopic scale, this looks like "cutting". Apply this same blade to a material that is so extremely durable that it does not "destroy" even at forces far greater than any material can withstand during the shockwave of a nuclear weapon, we have a material that could easily deflect a plasma blade with little to no damage.)


Let us also mention that the heat caused from those punches that caused those shockwaves would cause extremely high amounts of heat...also furthering my point that his body simply cannot be cut with a glancing blow from a light-saber.


I can't even begin to imagine the amount of heat created by those massive punches.


You guys need a good example? How about the pistol shrimp? Little ****er creates heat in the water that is as hot as the surface of the sun. And what is the sun? Plasma. What is a lightsaber? A plasma blade. Are the heats of the two similar? Probably. It's more likely that the plasma blades/lightsabers are a couple of thousand degrees cooler than the surface of the sun.

Didn't Morpheus use a sword to dispatch people in the later movies?

I had alot going on at the time, and they didn't look so hot to me so I've only seen bits and pieces.




EDIT: Just watched that vid, hm..

You'd think if that explosion was as hot as the surface of the sun, that shrimp would be at least slightly charred on the outside, and not just stunned.

Then again, my Shrimpology is a little rusty.

Bubba would disapprove.

That heat would be very localized at the "apex" of the compression wave. It would not be "large enough" to heat the water around it enough to fry our little critter. It's a heat-volume transfer thing: not enough volume of water is heated enough to heat the volume the encompasses the shrimp.

Summary: it neeeeeds moar calories! dur

Why didn't the Gammoreans overcome Luke's force choke then? The jedi was actually deflecting blasts and later was killed by watching his attackers. It wasn't thousands of troops either and their speed seemed nowhere even close to an agent's speed thus my point is made.

Vade was beaten against Obi Wan because of stupidity. Vader was beaten twice against Dooku because he ran in because he's stupid and overconfident and the second time because he was just outdueled.

Anakin's speed isn't anywhere or his reaction time close to smith's or an agent. Smith was flying around and into the earth causing massive damage and wasn't even harmed at all. Neo and Smith have shown bullets are a waste of time even in the first movie when both were at their weakest and since have become so much more powerful and faster that Anakin simply cannot keep up.

Did the Gammoreans show the power or speed Smith has ?

What exactly was your point?

Arrogance.

Anakin doesn't need Smith's reaction time, he has precognition.

Was Smith ever shown muscling out of a TK hold?




Also, how's Smith gonna get close enough to Anakin to kill him? Cuz you know, precog.

Yes, arrogance which is a part of Anakin's personality.

Precognition did't save anakin in any of these fights and he was specifically told by Obi not to jump and the idiot did it anyways.

Was a tk hold ever shown on anyone with Smith's strength and power?

Since when has precog made someone invincible ? Anakin like you yourself have admitted can be overwhelmed which he would be here.

Precog was shown failing when a Jedi/Sith had too much going on at ince. Like a TILT on a pinball machine.

K, and?

Because his opponent had it too. Durh.

Ah, dodging then. It was shown suspending about 5 tons worth of X Wing.






It doesn't make someone invincible. Smith has no ranged weapons or special powers, he has to go cqc here. When he tries, Anakin will know, and he will slice Smith to bits.

That he brings his overconfidence in every thread with him.

No, you aren't getting it. He was told and should have known jumping at Obi wan would get him beaten but did so anyways because he's literally stupid.

So flying isn't a special power ? Smith showed the flat out speed to make anakin look lame by comparison. One punch to his dome and he's probably either dead,ko'd, or badly hurt.

Vader hasn't shown reaction times anywhere near this fast despite having precog.

No doubt.

Stupid? Hardly.

I meant like TK, stuff like that. If he takes off, Anakin force grabs him, pulls him close, and takes off his head.

Again, he doesn't need it.

So jumping at your opponent when the person you are fighting and you yourself both know will get you beat isn't stupid ? Ignoring your training because you feel yourself capable of anything isn't stupid ?

Anakin has never used this power on someone with speed or power like Smith. Against powerful opponents it isn't this easy nor has any jedi off the top of my head used it against Jango fett.

So now you think he doesn't need reaction feats to compete with someone as fast as Smith while at the same time agreeing precog can be overwhelmed.

He overestimated his powers.

Not really an answer, dude.

He needs reaction feats, I never said he didn't.

Yes, which he will most likely do here as well.

You don't have any proof to solidify your claim.

Then you agree since they aren't on par with Smith's that he loses.

I can actually see Smith exploiting that, good point.

No, it's you who is placing a limit on force powers. Limits that are pure speculation.

I did?

Have to love RJ's logic:

Wizards > Jedi/Precog. Agent Smith with all his powers/abilities can't.

Fanboyism is dope.

Someone make a Agent Smith Vs Voldermort thread, it will be hilarious.

ares834
People don't seem to ever realize how precog works... It doesn't really matter how fast an object is traveling. Precog warns where an object is going to land ahead of time. For example, Anakin will be warned where a blaster bolt is going to be half a second (just a random choice but the actual number is irrelevant for my example) ahead of time allowing him to adjust himself. His precog will also warn him where Agent Smith's punch will land half a second ahead of time as well.

I already explained the wizard factor, and you bring it up again. Wizards have hundreds of powers. Wizards can freeze them, can fly, can freeze them, can fly, can render themselves intangible, can render themselves invisible, can render themselves fireproof, can vanish them, can change them into condoms, can mind rape them from hundreds of feet away......and that's still just the tip of the iceberg.



You really need to let that go. Until the all versus forum is made, anyway.

Here, Anakins attention will be 100% on Smith. Here. precog likely will not fail.

Precog can be overwhelmed by greater speed, as well as greater numbers.

The Flash, Vader would be warned of the attack, but he's still too slow to react ahead of time. Yes, The Flash is an extreme example.

I don't recall him ever closing the distance between he and his enemy with said speed. I only recall him using it when up close and personal.

Because it wasn't my argument.

So now he can only use his speed when he's "close to someone"? Let me guess, he can only dodge bullets if they're fired by the exact people that shot at him in the films? This line of "logic", eh?

It doesn't matter how fast the Flash is (note I'm not saying that Vader can beat him). What precog does is allows the user to know where Flash will be well before he arrives there (once again assuming he doesn't change his tragectory). Precog will tell them where an attack is coming from half a second before it arrives meaning they will have the same time to "react" to an attack from Flash as they will to a blaster bolt.

Pre-Cog wnt help against someone like Flash.. Anakin/Vader would just be standing still from the Flash's point of view.. He runs at him in a straight line or not, wnt matter.

The only way for a jedi/sith to beat someone that fast would be to grab them with the Force before they move (which is unlikely)

Especially since they wouldn't be able to twice without the Flash running up and punching them at lightspeed.

No, it's you who is placing a limit on force powers. Limits that are pure speculation.

I did? Doesn' mean a human being can react to Smith in a fight as proven in the first the guy can dodge bullet and punch multiple times in a blurry type fashion. This Smith is more powerful and an equal to Neo who can down multiple agents like they lemmings.

Progress.

You are assuming a much higher limit without proof as well. Do you think the force can hold the cloverfield monster with tk and kill it before it can react ?


Yes, just now.

It's ok Smith is too fast for Vader to react. Jedi have been overwhelmed by far less.

His precog will also warn him where Agent Smith's punch will land half a second ahead of time as well. Do you not understand what being overwhelmed is ? If Smith throws a hunded punches and Anakin knows where they are coming but isn't fast enough to physically keep up he's overwhelmed. How is this difficult to understand ?

Yes, with great concentration but could Yoda hold this immense creature and just oneshot kill it then in your opinion ? Holding an inanimate object is different than holding something with a mind trying to resist you.

Too late.

What ? You can tell the weight of the object puts a strain on the force user so if someone's actively using more force than just their weight it's common sense it's much harder to do than on an inanimate object.

Happened against Dooku the first time. He also lost to Obi Wan. This isn't the kids at the temple Anakin is facing this is a program that's going to rip him in two.

IF he runs straight at him they will be able to dodge. Vader would know were he is going to be well before he moves there. They see the future they don't react. So speed won't matter to them.

Now my actual question had to do with something enormous and that weighed probably thousands of tons, maybe more. That's far harder than someone who weighs 180 pounds.

Precog, decap. If it were that easy why hasn't Dooku dispatched of Obi or Anakin when he had the chance. You act as if a force push is unbeatable when it's just a useful tool to catch someone off balance in the movies. Vader isn't ripping throats out of skilled opponents in seconds. I don't see him able to hold Smith in place due to his power.

The more resistance is faces the harder you have to concentrate. This is common sense.

Since size doesn't matter I guess vader can force hold the entire death star if he needed to ? Wow.

Smith's too fast for Anakin to be where he needs to be when he needs to be. If I fight a martial artist who's far quicker it won't matter if I know where he will be I won't be quick enough to get there and will lose anyway.

Show me Vader doing this to any skilled opponent. Back up your claim.

Flash is able to move at light speeds in some writings and greater than light in at others certain times. But Flash on the average isn't light-speed, he's just super-duper-uber-pooper fast.

So no, a Jedi/Sith would not have the ability to dodge light, they're not that fast/agile. Knowing an attack is coming and having the ability to react fast enough are two different things.

Nephthys
The 3 swordsmen with Mace knew what Palpatine was going to do. He leapt right at them after slowly drawing his saber and threatening them. But they could do all to jack and shit to stop him because he was moving so fast (EU only). Yoda didn't react in time to stop Sidious' FLightning even though, again, Sidious clearly telegrathed the attack beforehand. Jedi are not gods. Just because they see an attack coming it doesn't mean they can stop it.

Jedi don't react what they do is see the future which warns them of what is coming in a set amount of time. As such, they should have the same amount of time to act to a beam of light as they would to a bullet or blaster bolt.

That's clearly a case of stupidity. Sidious, no matter how fast he is moving, is not traveling at blaster bolt speeds yet the Jedi can block bolts. Therefore it wasn't due to his speed. So why weren't they able to act to him... Well, to be honest, I really don't know (if we exclude the EU of course).



Sure. As I said they can be overwhelmed due to non-linear attacks and numbers.



Once again, irrelivent. Vader will know where the beam of light will be the same amount of time before hand that a blaster bolt will be. Meaning even though it's traveling at insane speed he will have the same amount of time to act.

No, as per Qui-Gon Jin ep1 "allows you to see events right before they happen", or something to that nature. So a Jedi/Sith would sense the beam of light was coming and it'd be there before they could physically react.

Blaster fire is slower than bullets. Light travels at 670,616,629 mph.

Qui-gon says, "He can see things before they happen. That's why he appears to have such quick reflexes. It is a Jedi trait."

What this means is that Jedi will see where the beam of light will be before it is there and, logically, they will have this "vision" the same amount before hand as they would a blaster bolt.

You'll need a better excuse than that dude. erm

The problem with your example is that light travels so fast that fr Vader to have a chance of stopping it the light would need to be hundreds of thousands of miles away when he sense it. Jedi have trouble sensing things in the same city as them, let alone that distance. Furthermore, combatants do not start at that distance from each other. It doen't matter if Vader senses the attack 5 seconds before it comes, because The Flash can close the gap and beat the ever loving shit out of Vader in a nanosecond. Vader would be a statue to him, and utterly defenceless to his onslaught.

That's not how Jedi battle-precog works, as seen with then blocking blaster fire instead of just being out of the path. They react after it's fired.

Which, in all honesty, is an irrelvent distinction when it comes to precog. They know where the laser/bullet/bolt will be before it arrives, perhaps even before they guy aims there, and move out of the way.

I feel that that is a stretch.

What's more likely: the Wachowski brothers simply did not think about the heat caused by such a violent shockwave.

OR

Both characters had such control over the matrix, at that point, that showing clothes ignite from ultra-powerful shockwaves would be irrelevant and/or inappropriate.



Definitely 1. smile

Edit - Also, the Neo that tanked getting slammed into the street at what appeared to be supersonic speeds was much more durable than the Neo that fought against those special defense programs from The Frenchman.

Originally posted by Nephthys

I honestly think...using "sheer forces", Neo could definitely tank bullets. If a blade swung by a superhuman just barely cuts his hand, a bullet will not produce enough pascals (PSI) to break his flesh (the curved blade, if I remember correctly, has more PSI than a bullet. We had to do this problem in one my physics classes. The blade had significantly more "PSI" than a bullet. I could be wrong...but I remember something about the blade being far superior to the bullet. It may have just been in momentum...but I could have sworn the initial impact had far more pascals than the bullet in our word problem.)

Regardless, Neo can just revive himself, right? big grin

No. He runs through the door, pulls out his sabre and raises/ignites it cos he knows he's about to fight, that's just common sense, drawing your weapon in a fight.

Him being able to block the fire was, as Precog made him aware a split second where the attack was coming from, not 3-4 seconds ahead of time as you imply.

Now, if that had been a beam of light travelling at light speed, he'd be too slow to react.

Roughly put, if the Force tells you: "This beam of light is going to come directly in your path three seconds from now."

And then the Jedi uses his/her Force-enhanced Neuro-muscular reflex to shift aside in one second, then two seconds later, the beam passes by.

That's why for instance in The Sith Lords, the Jedi Exile can duck and move around blaster fire - the Force had already told her that it would be going there a handful to a few seconds in advance.

The question isn't whether the Jedi is quick enough to follow the Will of the Force and dodge the beam.

The question, is whether the Force (which does not always let Jedi in on these things) will even let the Jedi know about the beam in the first place.

No. Watch closely. When the view changes from Jango shooting we see Kenobi with his blade down and then we see him lift it up quite fast which deflects the bolt Jango shoots in the pics I posted.



If it were a beam of light it should still gave him the same warning, or as you put it a split second. And no, I have never said 3-4 seconds nor have I implied it.

OK, question for all. Which moves faster? Smith or a blaster bolt?

Like if Smith is standing next to a Clone Trooper, and twenty feet away is a target. At the same time the Clone fires his blaster at the target, Smith takes off running towards the target. Does Smith arrive at the target before the blaster bolt?

End of story unless you can cite examples of feats in the same ballpark as the matrix reaction feats. This all depends. How far away are they from each other when the fight starts? 20 feet? 50 feet? Is Smith right in his face?

Concerning the Battlefield
Unless otherwise stated by the thread originator, the standard distance between combatants will be .5 kilometers in line of sight at the onset of battle, and there will be an implied "buzz" to signify the onset of battle. It will be assumed combatants are primed to go at the gun.

If someone fires a bolt it's coming at you in a straight path but if Smith starts throwing punches they are too fast to avoid or block with his saber. Smith is blitzing him in close combat and continuosly moves too fast for Anakin. Even agent smith could easily dodge bullets which is far faster than anything Anakin's ever done.

Pretty sure the bolt moves way faster.

No, I get your point. If Smith is like one foot away from Anakin and starts punching, Anakin is done. But if Smith is 10, 15, 20 feet away, he has to close the distance between he and Anakin to get close enough to rape. The moment he tries this, Anakin, via precog, knows exactly where to position his saber to block.

Hell, from 1640 feet away, Anakin has enough time to decide what to have for dinner, how hard he is gonna band Padme that night, even time to whine about his mom before Smith gets to him.

There's still nothing I believe he can do to Smith as he needs to be close enough to strike as well. If Anakin thinks about anything else I could see Smith ending him very quickly but then again even if he doesn't I see him winning with a blow or two.

Ok.


Not true. If they are 1640 feet apart, as you suggest, Anakin simply force holds Smith, levitates him, then calmly walks over and guts him.

Bang, not band.

Roughly put, if the Force tells you: "This beam of light is going to come directly in your path three seconds from now."

And then the Jedi uses his/her Force-enhanced Neuro-muscular reflex to shift aside in one second, then two seconds later, the beam passes by.

That's why for instance in The Sith Lords, the Jedi Exile can duck and move around blaster fire - the Force had already told her that it would be going there a handful to a few seconds in advance.

The question isn't whether the Jedi is quick enough to follow the Will of the Force and dodge the beam.

The question, is whether the Force (which does not always let Jedi in on these things) will even let the Jedi know about the beam in the first place.


I'd give Anakin a 50/50 shot with good Precog.

Rogue Jedi
100% if Smith is more than ten feet away.
