They're too strong to be blitzed, and I think have a chance between the two of them. Throw in two more and I definitely give it to 5.

Ahh yes, he wins 5, that was a typo.

Loses to 8 though, for sure.

Stops at Ahsoka tbh

carthage
He can clear 8 Bane can get oneshot by lightning or ragdolled and Krayt isnt lasting any longer than Fisto. Caedus is the only issue

As for 5 Malgus and Satele cant even perceive his movements, neither of them are any faster than Fisto, Kolar, or Tiin they'd die just the same even if they are more powerful than those Jedi

Q99
Wut?

Krayt is way beyond Fisto, and a 'ragdoll' won't actually take out an armored Bane (force-pushes rarely take people out. Throw 'em around and unless you go in and put them down, they get back up and come back... and with Krayt and Caedus there, he's not going to be put down).

Heck, even a lightning, assuming Bane can't block enough of it, will just poison him, not immediately take him out.

The Orbalisks arent going to protect Bane from sustaining injury internally, and Bane is too retarded to block an incoming FL volley. He ran right into Raskta (who is immeasurably) weaker than Sidious, and he wouldve died were it not for his armor. Sidious is powerful enough to choke him out anyway, and Krayt isnt any faster than Fisto. Fisto has blitzed magnaguards and formed tornados of his blade, they're on the same speed tier. Krayt is slower than Palpatine and still less powerful in the force as well

carthage
Is this DE Palps?

Trocity
I dunno but I don't have Caedus that far below ROTS Sidious. Krayt isn't going down as fast as Kit, especially not with those team mates. It'll take a few seconds to cook Bane if he happens to catch him full on, he likely won't be able to do it right at the beginning of the fight but if he did, the other two will already be on him.

carthage
Krayt or Bane would fall immediately to TK or lightning, and again theyre massively beneath him in terms of speed. A loser like Hetton was capable of dodging Banes lightning, and even Krayt at his fastest still locked blades with those IKs before going down. Sidious can take them out at any point. Caedus on the other hand no

NewGuy01
He never fought IK's at his fastest though.

carthage
Another thing to be mindful of is essence transfer isnt disabled nor is his force drain.

Preetty sure they have good force defense. I mean, Krayt can bare-hand lightning, something only the best energy absorbers can do, and they're both, well, really tough.

May be knocked on their butts, but that's about it.



Nooo, not really. I mean, they're faster than Fisto or Savage to be sure. Sidious is one of the very fastest fighters, but he's not that much over strong sith lords, just a bit more.

It requires a fair gap to do a blitz, there's very few force users on *any* of the teams that are vulnerable to one by anyone.




Uh, actually they didn't. Three died without blades touching, the fourth and leader had his blade meet Krayt's and was disarmed. And that was with all four attacking at once.

NewGuy01
Nah, Sidious is a lot faster than Krayt. Won't mean much in a 3v1 though.

I'm not saying he's not faster, but.... Fisto and Savage weren't blitzed. Badly out *skilled*, but they could react to the speed.


I don't think the gaps between Sidious and the other highish tiers is big.

Sids is too fast for some but not all council members. That doesn't actually speak to too huge of a speed gap.

It's his skill that matters most, while he does have one of the best blitzing feats in the saga, even that shows that the level needed to react to him isn't *that* high.

NewGuy01
You're mistaken. The moment Sidious fights Maul seriously is the moment he's overwhelmed by his speed.

"Sidiois raised his saber and flew at Maul, who parried desperately, his mechanical legs whirring as he sought to counter his former master's blows. Sidious's sabers were a blur, a whirling cage of deadly plasma. Maul danced away from one blow, then reversed his movement to avoid another, and then there were too many to count, and then there were even more than that. Maul's sabers spun out of his hands, bouncing away across the floor."

-Shadow Conspiracy

Regardless though, in a 3v1 (Or even a 2v1) Palpatine would have to distribute his blows between multiple fast opponents, so his speed shouldn't be any problem. That being said, his everything else is just as potent.

carthage
I was just going to post that, also he moved fast enough to completely fade from Maul's senses as well.

Neither Bane or Krayt pose a significant threat to Sidious even 2 vs 1, the only guy who can realistically even take him is Caedus. I'm not seeing any way for them to even harm him let alone be able to track his speed. He can dismiss either of them with drain, TK, or lightning, and again he can't truly die given essence transfer. Even if he got downed he could possess one of them and slaughter their teamates

Well done, You just put a nail in the coffin of the Maul fanboys trying to claim Maul can take on all-out Sids.

Marco1907
''Maul danced away from one blow, then reversed his movement to avoid another,''

He did this in one-on-one duel against Sidious, it is still damn impressive.

1. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, and Anakin Skywalker.
2. Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Savage Opress.
3. Darth Nox, Emperors Wrath. Cipher 9, and Grand Champion.
4. Hero of Tython, Barsen'thor, Smuggler, and Vanguard Solider.
5. Darth Malgus, Darth Marr, Satele Shan, and Darth Jadus.
6. Darth Traya, Darth Sion, the Jedi Exile, and Darth Malak.
7. Exar Kun, Ulic-Qel Droma, and Darth Revan Reborn.
8. Darth Bane Armored, Darth Caedus, and Darth Krayt Reborn.
9. Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Mace Windu, and Cade Skywalker.
10. The Sith Emperor, Darth Nihilus, and the Terror from Beyond.

1. Stomps
2. Wins, Maul and Oppress are fodder, Dooku is slightly better than fodder, Vader is a mild challenge. He kills Maul and Oppress before they can react, and then clearly beats Vader + Dooku.
3. Stomps.
4. Stomps.
5. Stomps.
6. Stomps.
7. "Darth Revan Reborn?" Anyway wins with moderate difficulty. Ulic is fodder, so it's basically Kun + Revan. Sidious should force a duel at that point, where Revan has basically no feats.
8. Bane is fodder, but Caedus + Krayt might defeat him. DE Sidious probably wins or splits, RotS/RotJ probably lose.
9. lol Luke solos.
10. IDK much about the Terror, but isn't it rumored to be like an Abeloth-tier threat? In either case, DE Sidious has a chance against just Vitiate and Nihilus.

LOL Erkan wanking Maul avoiding two blows from Sidious is gold laughing out loud

Even if bane gets hurt internally the Orbalisks provide instant healing

carthage
Sidious's lightning storm cooked the Queen Lylek, incinerates darkside prophets, and killed squads of Stormtroopers.

Bane gets rapestomped if he gets hit by it

Nah, powerscaling is a thing. It's not my fault that JA Luke is canonically stronger than DE Luke. thumb up

I'll pony up my reply by tomorrow, or count a concession.

DarthAnt66
When every argument you have brought forward has went down in smokes besides a power-scaling chain that can be broken in eighteen places, your chances don't look that good. wink
