Warm up: Coleman Trebor

1. A'shard Hett
2. Ki-Adi-Mundi
3.Qui Gon Jinn
4. Kit Fisto
5. TPM Darth Maul

Boss: Count Dooku. Gnost-Dural is invisible due to Nightsisters magic. (Pretty much the same circumstances as that one fight Dooku was in)

Emperordmb
So Dooku's also drugged up?

DarthAnt66
3 or 4.

3.

Edit: Actually which version of Hett is this? Could stop at 1 depending on the time frame.

S_W_LeGenD
Stops at 5 or clears.

Gnost-Dural have superior feats and accomplishments then first 4 individuals of this guantlet.

Not sure where I have Hett, but, ignoring him for the moment, Gnost stops at Kit.

S_W_LeGenD
What has Kit Fisto done to imply that he can defeat Gnost-Dural? Nothing.

ILS
He curbstomped two MagnaGuards before they could even clash blades with him, was noticeably superior to AotC Kenobi years before Kit's prime in RotS, is by reputation and canonically one of the most skilled duelists the Jedi have ever produced, and one of the most skilled duelists in his Order (which is full of skilled duelists), and Mace selected him to fight Palpatine. He's generally just regarded with more skill than Gnost, and featwise I'd say he edges Gnost out.

It's a great fight, but I don't have Gnost quite on Fisto's level. He's solidly ahead of someone like Jinn but only approaching Fisto.

Out of pure curiosity, what has Gnost done to put himself ahead of Kit in your mind, Legend?

He received high praise from Satele Shan multiple times, his skills were fabeled even among the Jedi, and he is just generally referred to as one of the best Jedi of the era.

Even a drugged Dooku with one arm and no legs would take Gnost to the curb.

Satele didn't ever compliment his combat skill, aside from saying he shouldn't be "underestimated" (your thread gave no context to that one), and that he's got decades of combat experience. Which is all well and good. Kit's been regarded by his contemporaries, namely Windu, Kenobi and Ti, as one of the strongest duelists of the era and in history. Not saying that a comparison of accolades is the be all and end all, but Kit's are definitely better.

NewGuy01
Poor A'Sharad.

ares834
Post-CW A'Sharad wins though. No need to feel bad for him.

In any case, his skills are the stuff of stories, he has decades of experience and he is so good that his opponents think that he has to be wielding a super lightsaber. Those are great accolades

The praise is irrelevant unless it refers to his combat skill. Satele referred to other traits for the most part. You're reaching.

2. His skills being the "stuff of stories" isn't as good as being considered one of the strongest Jedi duelists of the PT Order/history.

3. Plenty of people have decades of experience, so Gnost isn't special there.

4. You're referring to an inexperienced apprentice, not a legitimately noteworthy fighter. I'm sure if Kit raped him and the other apprentice with his Shii-Cho they'd just as quickly check his lightsaber. And it's still not as good as Kit's accolades.

I like Gnost as well, but wanking him so profusely is why people will be more willing to put him below Qui-Gon than as someone who could give Kit a good fight.

Trocity
Yeah, and Legend thinks Satele Shan can beat Darth Plagueis, so we should probably ignore most of what he says.

Nephthys
Satele broke a tree tho
