Nephthys
Not even top 10, huh Intrepid? Lets see about that. wink

Intrepid37
Tenebrous easily.

Also this thread won't help you justify their positions really.

Nephthys
Easy my ass. Krayts a beast. Luke thought he ws powerful enough to stand in for his opposite on the Throne of Balance. Caedus fell to the darkside out of terror of Krayts rise.

Krayt touches Tenebrous and kills him.

Intrepid37
Tenebrous runs circles around Krayt, then kills him with lightning that can leave sparks, lol.

Nephthys
Then Krayt comes back to life and puts Tenebrous down.

Intrepid37
Tenebrous has a ritual set up that enables his essence to connect to his maxi-chlorians, then he possesses Krayt.

Nephthys
Maxi-chlorians are too stupid to be a real thing, so it doesn't work.

Intrepid37
Tenebrous hurls holocrons of Bane, Nihilus and Andeddu on Krayt who gets pwned again.

Nephthys
Krayt drops a roof on him.

Repost:

He put Cade on his ass, who was able to shield himself from a base self-destructing around him. He's not outclassed in speed considering he's blitzed 4 Imperial Knights at once. He possesses the Dark Transfer ability, enabling him to kill with a touch. He has powerful Force Drain, able to hurt Abeloth. He's an excellent duelist. He has powerful telepathy. He's legit.

Lord Stark
Get a room you two.

Where are they fighting?

In the cavern Tenebrous died in. estahuh



He did, in their final battle he smacks him at the start with TK.

Lmao, comparing Black Sun goons vs the bodyguards of the Emperor. These guys were force users, much faster than the thugs Maul killed.

Lol, it doesn't matter if he used it against a Jedi or Sith. He used it against someone way more powerful than any Jedi or Sith.

His skill feats are good. What are Tenebrous's?

Upon his resurrection, Krayt telepathically contacted every Sith in the galaxy to tell them about it. When Luke performed a similar feat in the Dark Nest era, he was exhausted. Krayt wasn't.

Not really. They have done absolutely nothing of note. Vader blitzed Roan Fel before Ferus Olin could properly react, yet Tenebrous is significantly faster than him. Not only that, but none of Krayt's opponents had trouble with his speed, and none of his opponents had any impressive speed feats.

He never used it in a duel. Why would he here? Maul can manipulate gravity; doesn't mean he'd manipulate gravity to have Krayt flow in the air then kill him.

You should start posting some feats for Tenebrous here, or he'll die there AGAIN!

So he put a guy who blocked a massive explosion on his ass. Shielding an explosion that powerful should be at least equal to holding up that cavern ceiling. Cade is really powerful. Maybe in the top 10 most powerful Jedi ever. But Krayt beat him solidly.

I think you mean Krayt blitzed Roan Fel. stick out tongue

They were the bodyguards of the Emperor. Theres no way these weren't elite fighters. And its hard to have speed feats in comics. That they can keep up with Krayt is their speed feats.

He used it in a duel against Abeloth. And I think the reason he never used it in the comics is because his appearance in the novels was after his death. Its still something he can do though.

That Maul thing sounds cool. When does he do that?

You're getting confused.

There's two kind of ''Force shields'' (for lack of a better term).

The first one is the Force practitioners ''shield'' or ''aura'', which can be broken through by a telekinetic choke. Tyranus broke through Kenobi's aura Kenobi lacked the telekinetic power to withstand such an attack. Tyranus failed to break through Yoda's aura because he lacked the telekinetic power to break through such a defense.

The other one is not one that needs to overpower the Force users ''aura''. This is attacks such as Bulq hurling Mace; Krayt hurling Cade; Yoda hurling Sidious etc. When such an attack connects, it's not showing superiority in telekinetic power, it connected because the opponent failed to throw up a Force Barrier which is designed to block such attacks.

If Cade had time to throw up a Barrier and Krayt broke through it, then it'd be a good feat. But he didn't.

Vader blitzed a guy before another Jedi could properly react. Whatever.

The guards Maul cut down were ''seven of the deadliest in the galaxy''.

Not impressed by the guards. Grievous would slaughterhouse them. Lol.

Not really. Afterimages are very usually given to fast characters.

My point stands.

Maul manipulates graivity to ease the damage of a thirty-meter fall.



Originally posted by Nephthys

Given that his exposure is limited to roughly 15 pages and that he's never been in a duel, I'd say that's an appeal to ignorance.

Intrepid37
Tenebrous is significantly faster. He runs so fast as to give Plagueis a struggle just to keep up. Plagueis has waved his lightsaber fast enough to weave what would seem to an onlooker thick lightning bolts out of his lightsaber; outraced blaster bolts; ran fast enough as to appear a blur to a droid whose vision can track and react to blaster bolts; and nearly outpace rain.











Tenebrous' telekinetic power is superior as well. With only moderate difficulty, he supported a cave ceiling big enough to crush his ship.



Tenebrous' protective power is better. His Barrier protected him against an explosion powerful enough to collapse enormous caves the size of cathedrals.

Yeah, I am confused, because thats not how I see things.

When in a combat situation, combatants usually throw up an automatic shield to block attacks. Theres no point not to. It stops people from getting cheap surprise first hits in. Breaking through that shield indicates better TK ability imo.

Plus on the next panel you can see Cade dodging rather than blocking Krayts TK attacks and Krayt does later overpower his defenses so that he can use Dark Transfer on him.

Seven of the deadliest gangsters doesn't match up to hand picked force using bodyguards for the Emperor. Unless they have actual feats suggesting it, a non-force user should always be assumed to be lesser than a force user.

Grievous might win, but that's irrelevant. Krayt blitzing them is extremely impressive.

Originally posted by Intrepid37

Only some artists do that. It comes down to artistic differences. Just because people in Legacy don't have afterimages doesn't mean they're slow. Krayt wasn't mentioned as being noticeably slower than Luke. Or Anakin when he was Hett.

It does not.

Pfft, I think in that case I'd call bullshit and say he was just slowing his fall down the same way everyone does.

psmith81992
Yea, Tenebrous sure wins with virtually no relevant combat feats under his belt. "But his lightningz IZ RED!!".

Nephthys
He also stomps Bane and Zannah at the same time. God, what a badass!

NewGuy01
Tenebrous should win me thinks.

To be fair, Sidious in Dark Empire didn't have afterimages in either of his duels.

Krayt possesses Tenebrous's body in exchange, and uses dark transfer on his own body as he's leaving, leaving Tenebrous screwed.

Krayt knows essence transfer too, after all.

Except you're wrong. in Rule of two, Bane directed a telekinetic wave against Zannah. She threw up a Barrier yet, if I recall, Bane's wave broke through it and sent her flying. Krayt did the same thing except Cade never put up a Barrier; thus, Krayt didn't break through anything.

Tenebrous is far faster than Vader; as SWL says, do the math.

Not really. The speed required to blitz them is ambiguous, but given their lack of exposure, I'm willing to say that anyone who can swing their lightsaber invisibly fast would slaughter them as Krayt did.

So what? You can't justify Krayt's speed by blaming the artists and their style.


Originally posted by Nephthys

Of course you're willing to throw away feats you don't like. Tyranus knows the power doppelganger; does this mean he'd use it in combat despite never having done so? Would Yoda use Battle Meditation in a fight despite never having done so? List goes on.


Originally posted by Nephthys

The difference is that Krayt has has quite a few opportunities to do so, whereas Tenebrous haven't even been in a fight.

Originally posted by Q99

Krayt would never do that, unless he knows that Tenebrous is possessing his.

Originally posted by NewGuy01

No, but IIRC, he and Luke fought too fast for Leia to even see.

Q99
Considering they're hand-picked bodyguards lead by the Emperor's cousin who had him surrounded, doesn't seem too likely.

Almost no-one slaughters even rank-and-file Jedi/Sith that fast, let alone the Emperor's personal bodyguard who the Emperor thought might have been able to fight free and escape.



Possession attempts are sensed pretty often, and Krayt's versed in the technique.

Considering that Mundi was a member of the Council long before Anakin, he's definitely Anakin's superior.

No. Rank means nothing.

Originally posted by Q99

Darth Plagueis, whose speciality was life, immortality, midi-chlorians etc., never knew that Tenebrous essence hang on to his maxi-chlorians. Why should Krayt?

Q99

No. Rank means nothing.


Anakin and Mundi are both council members, one just got there first... and as befitting Mundi's rank, he is more powerful than almost all non-council Jedi, with just a few exceptions.

And, this isn't purely a matter of rank either, but these are hand-picked for a combat position, and most IKs have solid combat skills (unlike the Jedi, they're purely a combat order).


I'm not saying higher rank automatically equals better, but beating no-named masters is generally more impressive than beating no-named knights is more impressive than being no-named padawan, and the head of the bodyguard (who's named, is clearly shown a position of respect, viewed by the Emperor as having a chance of escaping multiple sith, and does some stuff outside of the fight, as well as being from a family we know is very strong in the force) is an even more specific position.

And it's not even blitzing them one after another- it's literally blitzing three of them in the same motion. Even high-speed characters almost never do that kind of thing.


The case for Tenebrous having a speed advantage of any note is rather shaky. Krayt has the better dueling history.





Because unlike Plagueis at the time, he knew essence transfer and succeeded in, well, basically what Plagueis was aiming for! Dark Transfer allowed the manipulation of life in a way Plagueis greatly desired.

Plagueis was aware of Essence Transfer, but thought it impossible because its secret had been taken to the grave by a Banite Sith. He felt Tenebrous' last midi-chlorians leave his body, but never noted that Tenebrous' maxi-chlorians bonded with him. I honestly have no idea why Krayt would know when Plagueis, as I said, couldn't, and he devoted his entire career as a Sith to manipulate life.

Per Luceno, Plagueis could compete with Sidious, meaning he has sufficient speed to not get blitzed. Vader is equal to Maul in speed, who can't even see Sidious.

First and most importantly, that's Plagueis not Tenebrous...

Secondly, where is it stated that Maul "can't even see Sidious". In one of their 'duels' Maul managed to bite Sids and in the second one (The Clone Wars one) Maul managed to get a hit or two in.

Did you even read the quotes I posted? Tenebrous ran at the same speed Plagueis did.

LOL. Seriously? This has happened thrice, from what I recall. Episode I Journal: Darth Maul, The Wrath of Darth Maul and Darth Maul: The Shadow Conspiracy. In the first two, Maul failed to track not only the movements of Sidious' blade bt also Sidious himself. In the last one, Maul only saw several afterimages of Sidious' blade.

I recall that Plagueis was over 100 year olds, and his best speed feats come only few pages later. Plagueis spent the rest of his life seeking further knowledge of midi-chlorians and training Palpatine as a Sith Lord, not getting faster.

To be fair, in that first quote Maul was injured, exhausted and half-delirious.

Intrepid37
No, he wasn't. He was in The Wrath of Darth Maul, which is why I didn't post that one.

ares834
Fair enough on the Maul stuff. However, no where is the first is it stated that he is unable to see Palpatine. Also, Maul (even though he only say Sidious's lightsaber as a blur) did give him a fight in the CW. Even in their one on one he managed to get a kick in.

Anyway, just because Plaguies can compete with TPM Sidious does not mean he is as fast.

erm

It's a very large leap of logic to assume Plaguies speed is the same during his training under Tenebrous to him at the end of his life. And once again, combat speed=/=running speed. Simply because Tenebrous can run as fast as Plags does not mean he has the same combat speed.

Ultimately, the evidence for Teneborus having greater combat speed than either Krayt or Vader is far too shaky.

No? Plagueis' running speed had to be roughly the same as his combat speed for him to fight Venamis as fast as he did.

Even if it did, which is unlikely and unsupported, the speed difference between Plagueis and Tenebrous would've been so small as to not worth noticing.

ares834

Ok. Then what evidence do you have that Plagueis is vastly faster than Krayt (or Vader)?

Originally posted by Intrepid37

Unlikely? Not at all. We've seen that increased force mastery certainly allows one to become faster.

Unsupported? Yes. But then so to is the theory that Plagueis speed didn't change.

His ability to contend with Sidious alone. For other feats, outracing blaster bolts comes to mind.

Originally posted by ares834

Sure. Plagueis' Force mastery was already prodigious by the time of Tenebrous' death. For that matter, Plagueis has several speed feats later on in the novel, non outweighing his earlier ones.

Originally posted by ares834

I'm not sure why I need to support a negative.

Originally posted by ares834

That Plagueis becomes an entire level faster is lol.

Originally posted by ares834

They work together. Plagueis was running while fighting Venamis simultaneously, since the duel was going through different parts of the forest they were fighting in.

ares834
Edit: Actually this entire debate doesn't even matter as it's all about Plagueis. I'm going to cut it down to what is important, what combat speed feats or statements does Tenebrous have that makes him faster than Vader or Krayt?

Running fast is all nice and good, but Usain Bolt isn't going to be a faster fighter than Bruce Lee.

Intrepid37
Ehm... Running speed works in conjuction with combat speed. Plagueis' running speed has to roughly equal to his combat speed for his feet to keep up with his lightsaber. Even insinuating this is false, Tenebrous' running speed would allow him to outrun Krayt easily. Krayt would never even get a hit in on Tenebrous. Krayt's TK is rather useless as well. Tenebrous' speed and TK is such that he would beat Krayt by direct TK attacks.

ares834
Perhaps. I can't recall any impressive TK feats for Tenebrous. However, I've never been overly impressed by Krayt.

I'm not exactly convinced by either of that, given Krayt's high speed, but there's also Krayt's lightning and illusions, and he's shown impressive energy absorption which Tenebrous, I believe, has not. He's the more varied character.

No argument here. Tenebrous have 15 or so pages of exposement.

Krayt's pretty varied for Sith in general, which probably comes from living so long.

Tenebrous wins, because he has epic Kenyan running speed, which is absolutely essential to close quarters combat.

His few arcane powers are impressive and his lightning fairly powerful. He's a better scholar than most can pretend to be, but he's lacking in the more universal aspects of combat; TK, skill, physical attributes etc.

Skill? He was a master combatant a century ago, before he'd even begun to train in the sith ways and gained a ton more combat experience. Physical attributes? He's large and physically capable and has a rather impressive impressive blitz feat, he shows himself second to no-one in his time physically, not even the young and fit skywalker.

He started out as a physical combat specialist, before gaining the more arcane skills.

And some of his gained force skills are ones known to help in physical combat, like shatterpoint.

Tenebrous curbstomps this. One telekinetic burst would injure Krayt severely.

Nephthys
Lol, nah.

Intrepid37
No, yes.

Q99
Pffheh.

*If only* Krayt had experience with people who had strong tk and demonstrated TK defense against them wink

You know, someone like Cade Skywalker, who has very very high TK feats. If Krayt had ever fought someone like that, perhaps multiple times, then he'd have an answer to opposing TK.

Jmanghan
After doing some research, Tenebrous takes this, albeit not easy.

The Kenyan running technique is more suited to long distance battles. It is to running as Soresu is to light-saber combat.
