Curious what people still think on this one. Standard fight, takes place in the open fields of Naboo.

AncientPower
The entity wins.

FreshestSlice
Plagueis may have held back the Force, but Valkorion held back his daughter. http://r35.imgfast.net/users/3513/11/32/39/smiles/3024136639.gif

The Merchant
Valkorion.

AncientPower
Plagueis held back nothing, the Force didn't resist him and Sidious at all as Nai has proven without refutement.

FreshestSlice
I actually don't think Plagueis will win this one, and put him behind Vader, so you can calm yo ****.

Both are "real" entities so...

I just find it funny that Plagueis has some ridiculous feats, and the Force never resisting is false, since the novels says after months it finally "relented." AP on that Nai trip though.

I am just having a laugh, I know what the Plagueis novel states. Valkorion having the potential to annihilate the galaxy out-shoots it entirely.

The Merchant
Well, Plaguies moved so fast he was a bolt of red lightning. And he nearly atomized Maladi Assassins. I know this board doesn't seem to like applying science to vs. debates but to atomize a human being requires city destroying energies. While he didn't do that he damn near did. Also, it's been a while since I read the Plagueis novel. Didn't his death release a tremor of force energy that shook Coruscant? Or was I just interpreting that wrong?

carthage
The tremor was a massive tremor in the force not an event that shook Coruscant, it Can be confusing given Luceno's purple prose though.

Well, and not to get into it, since it's not the point of this thread, I hate just about everything in the novel, besides that gg quote, simply from the ridiculousness of it, the same problem I have with TFU. Atomizing people, or even getting close to it, with TK is stupid. I take everything I read in it with a grain of salt.

carthage
His feat was more or less the same as Vader's Lylek feat, it was just Luceno's writing

Why though? To make Holocrons you need to manipulate things at the sub-atomic level, their force attacks doing that should be comparable.

FreshestSlice
Manipulating atoms and atomizing do not mean the same thing. erm

The Merchant
My point was that they can affect the Force on that small of a level, why couldn't their attacks have an effect like they do with simple manipulation?

Because he's just smashing them with TK. There's no control there, it's just overwhelming force. He's not tearing them apart an atom at a time.

Lol.

Speed feats for Valky?

AncientPower
Assuming the blitz logic wasn't fundamentally flawed, which it is. Vitiate exchanged a series of attacks with Revan in seconds. Plagueis isn't blitzing Valkorion at all.

Stigma
Plagueis blitzes Revan. cool

AncientPower
How is Plagueis blitzing Revan, who can exchange a series of attacks in seconds? Blitzing is a pretty ridiculous notion when that nearly never happens in the mythos.

Revan moving fast enough to contend with (and nearly beat) eight of the most powerful beings in the galaxy with blaster fire, missile barrages, lightsaber attacks, and Force attacks coming from all angles makes it pretty obvious that Revan isn't going to go down via a speed advantage.

Stigma
Meh. Plagueis is faster.

DarthAnt66
Doubt it. He's not blitzing (or winning by sheer virtue of being fast) though regardless.

AncientPower
Plagueis is faster =/= Plagueis can speed blitz.

This is a ridiculous claim tbh.

Stigma
Still, Plagueis blitzes them.

AncientPower
Nice to see you concede.

Stigma
Um.... the Wise One blitzes. Haven't seen anything that puts Valkorion in Plagueis's speed-tier.

DarthAnt66
That's not really how it works.

AncientPower
So let me get this straight, just so I can understand the logical fallacies being put forth here:

Darth Plagueis is faster than Darth Venamis, therefore Plagueis speedblitzes Revan and even Valkorion tier characters. Despite them both being capable of an exchange of numerous Force attacks in a few seconds.

Stigma

Dude, I can exchange numerous Force attacks in a few seconds. That's hardly impressive.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
/watches Stigma slowly decay from what he once was

Yeah, still Valkorion.

AncientPower
Just for the record, they did all of this (and more) in 'just a few seconds':

As Meetra and Scourge battled the Guard, Revan charged toward the Emperor. His opponent stood perfectly still, focusing and channeling his power. At the last possible instant, the Emperor unleashed a wave of energy that swept Revan off his feet and sent him flying backward.

Revan twisted in midair so that he was able to roll with the impact when he landed. He quickly sprang back to his feet and advanced again, moving more slowly this time. The Emperor stood in the exact same position as before; it was as if he hadn't even moved. Revan began to sense the oppressive presence of the dark side weighing down on him. The Emperor was trying to crush his will: to dominate and enslave his mind as he had before. This time, however, Revan was ready.

Instead of charging forward, he opened himself up to the Force, letting both the light and the dark side flow through him like twin rushing rivers. But instead of focusing or channeling the Force, he released it in its purest form.

There was brilliant flash as the air between the two combatants lit up. The energy unleashed was powerful enough to send Revan staggering. The Emperor, unprepared and with much of his strength diverted to his effort to dominate Revan's mind, was sent flying backward.

He landed in a heap on the floor and Revan raced toward him. The Emperor rolled over, lifted himself up on one knee, and his hands flew forward as he hurtled a bolt if dark side lightning at his enemy.

Revan intercepted the bolt with the blade of his lightsaber, though the impact stopped his charge dead in its tracks.

The Emperor unleashed three more bolts in quick succession. Revan batted the first aside with his lightsaber, ducked the second, then deflected the third back in the direction of its source.

It struck the Emperor in its chest, sending him sliding several meters back on the floor. For the first time the Sith's emotionless veneer cracked as he let out a primal hiss of hate.The sound sent shivers down Revan's spine."

FreshestSlice
Don't most duels happen in "just a few seconds?" And a lot of that is pretty flowery text.

AncientPower
No they most certainly don't. Whilst that is vintage Drew Karpyshyn, that is a fairly long series of exchanges.

I may have to check Scourge's precise POV though as that might have happrned before.

Either way not a chance Plagueis is blitzing either of them.

FreshestSlice
Most duels don't last that long. Only text description demands that. That and drama.

Stigma

Plagueis blitzes Valky. Deal with it. cool

AncientPower
Given that Revan and Vitiate waged an entire battle in three or four (definition of 'a few') seconds. Which included:

1.Revan charges.
2.Vitiate knocks him back with a Force wave.
3.Revan charges at a slower pace.
4.Vitiate attacks him with his will.
5.Revan counters with Force Purity knocking Vitiate over.
6.Revan charges Vitiate down.
7.Vitiate rolls over and blasts Revan with energy.
8.Revan intercepts it with his blade.
9.Vitiate fires three more in succession.
10.Revan deflects the third into Vitiate's chest.
11.Vitiate gets pissed, stands up and then summons his power.
12.Vitiate unleashes an FLS which Revan attempts to Tutaminis.
13.Revan holds this off.

I will request that you prove Plagueis can move faster than doing all of that in 3 or 4 seconds let alone blitz past it. Or I must assume you are trolling and/or have no argument and accept your unspoken concession on the matter.

Valkorion wins.

FreshestSlice
What? That took longer than four seconds.

That isn't what is stated, in reality it was only just a few seconds. Unless I have the POV incorrect, which I doubt.

Valkorion is more powerful than Plagueis but Plagueis is still Sidious-tier Force user. On top of that he has shown superior speed and combat prowess. Plagueis's mental fortitude is also virtually unparalelled.

To paraphase Neph, power isn't everything.

To paraphase Neph, power isn't everything. Vitiate is a dude who barely leaves his throne room and only engages in force fights when someone challenges him. The best speed feat a character of this nature could get is reacting to who ever faces him. Using that against him is illogical imo. So far, he didn't have a single problem speed wise against anyone he fought and he actually walked up to HoT's saber before they fought even though he was weakened and still didn't have a problem catching up with his opponent's speed.

Obviously, Vitiate isn't winning via TP. thumb up

Plagueis detests lightsaber duels and is a big admirer of achieving his goals with using the force. I'm pretty sure these two would simply throw everything they have at each other with the force where Valky would prevail.

The_Tempest
Sounds like scripting to me.

Plags is also the guy who breaks necks and impales bitches with his righteous fists. He'll do what he has to in any situation.

Sinious
Not disregarding that but all I'm seeing here is debating for the sake of debating. We all know Vitiate would win here. thumb up

Stigma
Not at all. What I'm saying is that Plagueis is comparable to Sidious in power, faster and more combat ready than Valkorion. Not seeing it as a clear victory for Valkorion, or a victory at all.

Um how do you come up with 100 times faster? Proof for these calculations?

Plagueis is sufficiently fast enough (as if, being a peer of Sidious in speed is not fast enough) to close the distance and cut Vitiate in half. GG thumb up

The Merchant
Has Vitiate moved so fast on-lookers only saw a red lightning bolt? Plaguies also has moved so fast that his Droid, who can see blaster bolts in slow-mo, saw Plaguies as a blur. Blaster Bolts have varying speeds on what source you go with, some being as low as just 10 meters per second to being as fast as the speed of Light itself! However, using the Movies Blaster Bolts have a speed of roughly 130 MPH I believe.

I'll point out a flaw in your logic and leave a hint.

Aryn Leener have one of the best speed-oriented feats in the lore so far. However, Darth Malgus was able to contend with her on equal footing in spite of lacking in feats in the matters of speed in comparison to her in general.

If you are smart enough, you will get the memo.

Blitzing usually means moving faster than the other side can perceive/react to. And if your argument doesn't involve Vitiate not being able to react at all, it means that he still has time to cast lightning and since Plagueis = Braga in tutamins, Vitiate one-shots him despite being slower. thumb up

Not when Vitiate can oneshot him.

You've already made that argument for me when you said "feats or gtfo" smile

I'm not talking about right before he dies, I'm talking about the beginning of the fight where HoT can't blitz him despite being in this position.

Depends on starting distance, really. If it's far enough, Plagueis may opt to use his Force powers entirely instead of drawing his blade, and that's a battle he's bound to lose.

@Stigma, I sacrificed the blood of approximately 29 SWTORians to post this:

Plagueis Blitzes Kek

Originally posted by XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Well then you'd have to give in to the speedblitz logic, which is generally inconsistent considering Luke (Someone who was faster then Sidious in their duel as of DE) couldn't blitz Lumiya/Desann, and there's numerous other cases in which force users like Yoda/Luke/Vader didn't outright blitz their opponents. All we have in support of blitzlogic is Sidious blitzing the B-Team (which apparently, correct me if I'm wrong, is now due to surprise rather than speed via new content,) and Sidious moving faster than Maul could visibly perceive in the novel adaptation of their fight. Which is again an inconsistent definition of blitzing given that Roan Shryne saw Vader move faster than he could perceive and faster than anyone other than Yoda, yet was still able to fight Vader without getting lolblitzed, as well as many other relatively mook-y jedi that were featless and could react to Vader just fine.

Plagueis is more combat-ready than Valkorion

This is a blast from the past indeed. This notion has pretty much been put to rest as soon as SWTOR, and specifically SOR, came out. Vitiate whilst possessing Master Surro was directly fighting on the battlefield, casually stomping Lana Beniko and combating one of the most powerful warriors in the Galaxy, aka a protag and his or her trusty companion. Even in vanilla SWTOR Vitiate possessed Kira Carsen and fought head-to-head with the Hero of Tython, his first action to run at the Hero with his Lightsaber. He's obviously understanding of the ways of a fighter/warrior. It's not much different than Talzin, tbh. She's evidently fairly competent in her use of the lightsaber and combat, but is infinitely more at home utilizing her immense force powers to annihilate her foes. Speaking of which...

Plagueis can tank Valky's powers and saber him to death

This is the dude who can easily annihilate four of the most powerful jedi in the Galaxy, while not trying to kill them, while also diverting significant efforts to hold back Vaylin's powers, and destroy their lightsabers in the process. Plagueis hasn't a notable lightning or tutaminis feat to speak of. This is the dude who was considered by the Wrath to be infinitely more powerful than the dread masters, (who could destroy whole fleets with their fear power,) was universally believed to be far too powerful for Revan or the Coalition to handle, considered to be too powerful for the jedi or the sith to stop, etc. This is the dude who, as a disembodied spirit, telepathically subjugated the population of Ziost, then afterward telepathically subjugated the additional jedi and republic soldiers sent by the Republic. This is the dude who, despite not being at his full power, utterly annihilated the planet of Ziost, then proceeded to consume that additional power into himself. As Emperor Valkorion, he's no longer diverting his power to hold back Vaylin, so he'll only be even more powerful. Plagueis hasn't shown anything close to these levels of power, (that he can access without an intense ritual and with Sidious's help.)

Throwing The Bone of Logic

On the whole, one could seriously argue that Nyriss's lightning and Braga's tutaminis is more powerful than Plagueis's, if we go by a feats-only paradigm. When we include logic and reason, however, with Plagueis being implied as pre-DLOTS amp Sidious's equal, we can conclude he's an immensely powerful sith lord, with top tier lightning, TK, and power on the whole. That said, this also applies for Valkorion. Valkorion is considered to be, as aforementioned, infinitely more powerful than the fleet-subduing Dread Masters, far more powerful than Revan or anyone else in the Galaxy, and powerful enough that neither the efforts of the Sith nor the Jedi would be enough to stop him from consuming the Galaxy. Plagueis is absolutely one of the top-tier force users, but I sincerely doubt he'd last against Valkorion's powers, much less overcome them to the point where he can lolrun up to him and stab him to death. There's a reason Sidious chose not to loltank Talzin's force attacks and instead chose to battle with the force, despite being just as if not more powerful. When someone is just as powerful as another force user, but far more skilled, it'd still require all their strength to overcome those powers. And Valkorion is very noticeably more powerful than Plagueis, feats and hype considered.

Selenial
Skillz, the major flaw in your speed argument is that Luke says he holds back to avoid brushes with the Dark Side, since in DE his attempts to unleash his full power caused him to fall. He also went briefly fell during his duel with Caedus.

Against Desann he wasn't going to go all out and massacre him due to morals.

Last I checked, Plagueis didn't have morals.

carthage
Plagueis absorbed blaster bolts and liquefied a persons with his lightning afterward. He can easily absorb Vitiate's lightning dodge it or deflect it.

/ignores Vader, /ignores Sidious not blitzing people who are actually at his level in power, (aka Talzin, her best speed feat is saber-locking Windu, who normally operates at Maul-tier speed, who in turn Sidious can supposedly lolblitz.)

I'd rather await Stigma's trolling, tbh. Maybe your dad will make an appearance too

Oh yeh, try speed blitz someone who can dissipate at will. That's a solid idea, wonder why Sheev never thought of that.

I like that you're dismissing every other speed blitz in the mythos as if no one else has ever tried laughing out loud

Can't think to dissipate when he can move faster than you can react. And I completely understand your refutement on the point of Vader thumb up

Such as? The majority of them are either against utter fodder or non force users, and even those are inconsistent.

So you want Sidious to engage his lightsaber and dart across the cave, slicing Talzin down before she can react... Or nothing? Is your definition of speedblitz literally "before they can react/move"?

Repeat the point about Vader tbh, cba to re-read your post mmm

So Krayt blitzing 4 master level Imperial Knights all trained to fight in perfect unison? Which does that fall under?

Why not? Any other definition in the context of this thread would be pointless, as if it's not before Valkorion can react, it'll be too late.

Vader moved faster than Roan Shryne's eyes could perceive, and faster than anyone other than Yoda. Despite this, Shryne fought just fine against Vader, as well as many other "speed-featless" force users.

Kek they have no speed feats, they're useless fodder.

Before I reply to the rest, if they're fodder for lack of Speed Feats, what's Vitiate again?

Thank you for understanding the point I'm trying to get across to Stigma, it's time to see if he gets it.

It depends on how far, as I said. If it's close range, Plagueis' combination of brutal lightsaber attacks and Force powers could net him a win. If it's far away enough, Plagueis is limited to using the Force, which he won't be able to beat Vitiate with.

I agree and tbh this position more or less mirros my views on this fight. (Minus obvious playful banter I played for a bit.)

Where I differ with your approach Razer is that I see Plagueis's speed advantage as sufficient for him to close the gap and grant his the majority in all-out.

That would be an insidious tactic. I do not subscribe to such measures, Sir. uhuh.


Meh,. I somehow cannot edit my previous post, so I'll repost a part of it here:

On the whole, one could seriously argue that Nyriss's lightning and Braga's tutaminis is more powerful than Plagueis's, if we go by a feats-only paradigm.
Not at all. Nyriss’s FL was amped by DS nexus. Plus, she never overcame with it anyone even comparable to Plagueis’s tier.

Originally posted by XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
When we include logic and reason, however, with Plagueis being implied as pre-DLOTS amp Sidious's equal, we can conclude he's an immensely powerful sith lord, with top tier lightning, TK, and power on the whole. That said, this also applies for Valkorion.
Agreed.

Isn't Valkorion unknown?

Stigma in approximately 3-4 hours you will be plastered to a wall as SWTORians fire cumshots at you

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
<------- Is starting his response. What power source should I use this time? I was thinking orphan tears, Bane's Nexus, or ILS's Maul wank

Sinious
Why would you waste your time here, Skillz? We've already established that Vitiate one shots this.

You should create a thread worthy of your attention and put someone up against Valkorion who won't be so easily defeated. thumb up

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Nah. Raising Stigma out of the ashes is a much better idea.

Sinious
You want him to join the cause?

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
kek @ Stigma joining the cause. I'm just helping a bro out, here.

Sinious
Boring tbh.
