Battle takes place in an abandoned Chicago. Who wins, tbh?

Are you serious?

Satele Shan stomps, assuming her prime.

Yes, her prime.

Satele

Satele. Great fight, though.

Not sure what the point of this thread was, but Satele.

What's the point of any thread?

Nah.

Satele. I don't think Anakin's ever faced an opponent wielding a double-bladed saber before. Aside from Satele's superiority at this point in Anakin's career, that alone would make him uncomfortable.

Why not?

Tbh now that, that was brought up by Val. When has a different style of saber even been really effective in a fight? Truly effective in the sense that it would drastically alter it?

I mean if you look at it, it hasn't really been something that changed much. I mean in TPM Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were able to contend with Maul's double bladed saber, despite the fact this is the 1st Sith Lord in...what was it? 1,000 years or so? Returning and he was using a weapon that clearly neither Qui-Gon or Obi-Wan had seen before.

Yet both of them weren't really deterred by it as both of them were able to handle it quite well when they were together and separated.

The same with Dooku and his curved hilt against Obi-Wan and Anakin the first time.

Unless I'm missing some information here.

Satele.

You don't think that if Maul had wielded a single-hilt saber Kenobi and Jinn would not have had a better chance at defeating him, at least initially? I do.

We see how this does matter, for example, in the Bane versus Kas'im fight. Bane had the edge all along right up until Kas'im started using two lightsabers, a style Bane had never faced before and thus was at a disadvantage.

Its too early for Anakin.

They would have had a better chance sure, but I'm saying that even when faced with a completely different weapon, they weren't completely outclassed by it to the point they couldn't defend themselves from it.

It matters sure, but really I'm seeing it as more the person being unable to adapt instead of the weapon itself being all that matters.

Yeah I'm not saying it's a determining factor, just that it matters at least to a certain degree.

Anakin has seen double-bladed lightsabers before. He makes notes about them in the Book of Sith, and talks about how Gate Master Jurokk uses them.

But has he ever seen them prior or at ATOC?

Although considering Maul, the Jedi probably did dig up some info on them and with Obi-Wan teaching Anakin he could have also told him about it.

Even still I'm not sure it's much of a big factor here against him.

Pretty sure Anakin's first entries in the Book of Sith were around the same time as AotC.

The Temple Guard utilizes double bladed sabers...

Right but that was TCW, not AOTC. But I overlooked them because they didn't appear much and I don't remember TCW all that well, so yeah ok.

I doubt they equipped them for the Clone Wars. But alas you conceded so its all good.

Regardless of whether it's been seen or not is almost irrelevant. Seeing and knowing is one thing, but the lack of real experience in fighting a saberstaff still gives an inherent disadvantage.

A southpaw in boxing is always said to have an advantage against an orthodox fighter just because of their rarity. Obviously, every boxer is aware of what a southpaw is but until they get in the ring and get experience with fighting them it doesn't matter.

But if you want to be impressed with Anakin potentially knowing what a saberstaff is then I'm all for it.

Wrong. Saberstaffs are at a disadvantage against single opponents. This has been stated in the mythos several times.




The only one at a disadvantage will be Satele. Even TPM Darth Maul, who's is far more skilled than TPM Kenobi than Satele is to Anakin, was at a disadvantage with both sides of his saberstaff extended.

Not the purpose of this thread, though, obviously.
