Malgus as he fought the Jedi Strike Team.

Vitiate

The Sith Emperor

Its not even close imo. Vitiate would either mentally dominate him or overpower him with lightning right at the start of the fight. And that would be the end of the fight.

Revan successfully absorbed The Emperor's lightning with his lightsaber; I don't see any proof that Revan is any better in absorbing lightning with a lightsaber than Malgus is.

Revan easily absorbed Nyriss' lightning with his bare hands, a hugely impressive feat of tutaminis. And that wasn't Vitiates 'pwned 5 of the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy' lightning from 300 years in the future. I don't see why we should think Malgus is better at blocking lightning than 5 of the best Jedi put together.

Meanwhile the only time Malgus is shown blocking lightning was against Adraas. Where even though he was much more powerful than Adraas, he struggled to block it and it blistered his hands.

Which is his main thing, but then again, we're not talking about blocking it barehanded, we're talking about blocking it with a lightsaber.

Simply because Vitiate has different levels of lightning.

His base lightning stopped Revan in his tracks, leaving him unable to proceed.

His FLS was powerful enough that Revan didn't even try using a lightsaber to stop it.

Assuming he is at full power and not weakened like in his fight against the JK, Vitiate would win.

I wasn't aware they were different techniques?

Because Revan has actually displayed a proficiency with the technique beyond what Malgus has?

You might be better at smashing a ball than me with a flat baseball bat, but that doesn't suggest you're better at smashing a ball with a rounded bat.

Likewise, Revan being better at absorbing lightning with his hands than Malgus doesn't suggest he's better at absorbing lightning with his lightsaber than Malgus.

It does actually. I mean, you swing them the same way, its not like you're using a different technique to the swings.

Yeah it does.

I never said it was different techniques, I'm pointing out the different applications of said techniques... same goes for tutaminis.

How does blocking force lightning with a lightsaber relate in anyway to force absorb?

lol

I don't see why someone would be uber with one application of a technique and merely mediocre with another, especially when the first one is more difficult to learn/use.

No one said he had to be mediocre because he's not as good at it.

Again, you might be able to kick a football with your right leg better than I, but I can very likely kick a football just as good or better than you with my left leg.

I'm going to be the renegade and go with Malgus.

After all, this

?v=mm4JEZudf0c#t=167

Is vastly more impressive than this

?v=2pwPRbwaT2A#t=177

And the latter was performed on a powerful dark side nexus, of all places! Vitiate, with all the tactical acumen of a celery stick, is going to fervently impale himself on Malgus's prodigious weapon.

The sexual innuendo was very much intentional.

True.

You're suggesting that he's uber with it barehanded, but not proficient with it with a lightsaber to the point where Malgus can be assumed to be as good as him despite a showing indicating lack-luster ability with the technique. How is that not mediocre?

Thats different since I naturally have a handicap with my left leg while the technique doesn't work like that.

Shut up, got the urls wrong. uhuh

Hahaha.

Your wording of it is irrelevant. It's two different applications, one in which Revan excels, the other one in which Revan hasn't done anything putting him above Malgus.

Other than bat away Vitiates lightning, so yeah he's still got way better feats than Malgus.

Unless you think Adraas' lightning is equal to Vitiates.

Adraas and his fight with Malgus was before Malgus' boost at the end iirc.

Nope.

No?

Whoops, I might be confusing Adraas and Angral.

Who is Angral again?

Adraas and Malgus' commander in the Sack of Coruscant and the antagonist of Act 1 of the Jedi Knight campaign.

I'm still wondering why its the same technique as they do entirely different things. Going with Intrepid's sports metaphors it's like the difference between catching/throwing a ball and hitting one with a baseball bat.

My impression was that blocking lightning with a lightsaber is merely using tutaminis to absorb the bolts into the blade.
