Darth Vader as of Rebels, Anakin as of Revenge of the Sith. Battle takes place on the Invisible Hand.

Emperordmb
Vader, greater physical capabilities, greater strength in the force, and more time to refine his skill.

EmperorSidious2
Vader can take anything Anakin can throw at him and based off of what we know he can take Anakin.

BruceSkywalker
so Vader versus himself big grin

|King Joker|
big grin big grin big grin big grin

DarthAnt66
Skywalker raped Dooku. He wins.

The Merchant
Well in Lords of the Sith he pretty much says his connection to the Force is stronger than it was before.

Dooku was told to hold back by Sidious. Otherwise he would've TKed the s*** out of him.

DarthAnt66
Sad part is I can't tell if you're serious or not.

He stopped holding back almost immediately, lulz.

Anakin

Will hold off on this one until we see more of Vader's saber abilities in canon

Based on the Death Star duel with Ben I'd say Anakin wins.

Kurk
I honestly think RotS Anakin could take this for a slight majority. Vader lost a lot of mobility and only regained some of it through the force.

Rots Anakin wins.

The suit is confirmed to reduce his speed in source books.

But his increased power in The Force may make up that difference.

Syndicate
Anakin.

Look at you people coming around when I've said this for months now.

Emperordmb
Huge difference between saying he loses to Anakin and saying he loses to the majority of opponents he could find himself up against.

Just about everyone who's posted a response here thusfar has held the same opinion for a lot longer than a few months.

Anakin wins.

Anakin wins. I was saying that to be modest. I've always said the suit makes Vader slower. I heard many people disagree to which I laughed. I'm right as always.

NewGuy01
I don't think I've ever heard anyone here claim that Vader is faster than Anakin, tbh.

Almosts don't cut it.

Emperordmb
Slower than Anakin =/= Slow AF mother ****er who would get stomped by any other decent Sith/Jedi or Khan

You seem to fail to grasp the concept that relatively slow when compared with Anakin is a far cry from just being plain slow when compared with anyone.

Then why does it still happen sad

I don't think Vader loses to Dooku who is a decent Sith Lord. Khan is portrayed on a higher level and can easily tear through ships, Klingons, and had Spock, Uhura, and Kirk at his mercy. That's neither here nor there as Vader just isn't a quick mover these days.

This. Vader has sprint speed and combat speed. He can deflect blaster bolts, leave, after images, move so fast as he appears to teleport IIRC, he outran a holding back Sidious, and has kept up with many agile and speedy opponents throughout the purge.

NewGuy01
Doesn't make him as fast as Anakin...?

Early Vader was blitzing Knights and Masters, and appeared to teleport to a rage and holocron amped Ferus Olin. He is faster than Anakin.

Anakin wins.

Vader's prime is still ROTJ correct. I've been seeing post saying that Dave Filoni stated that Rebels was Vader's prime.

Where is it said in canon that Vader's prime is RotJ?

DarthAnt66
IIRC the old ass ROTJ novel.

carthage
ROTJ novel but its probably been retconned as per Filoni's statement, (Didn't he say he was in his prime in rebels?)

Either way I think it only applies to Legends

Sinious
Anakin wins in pure sabers.

Has to align with New canon, probably, which that statement doesn't.

Filoni is an imbecile tho.

Darth Thor

It was Hidago who said that though. Not Filoni.

Trocity
Anakin.

Rebel95
I may be wrong but I believe it's stated somewhere that Vader improved his saber abilities after going into the suit. I'll try and find the exact quote.

Rebel95
Nevermind. It's stated that he incorporated all other forms of lightsaber combat along with djem so, but it's not actually stated that he was better than before.

Agusto Pinochet
Skywalker wins in sabers, in a force fight Vader wins. They said in the novel that Vader improved from ANH until ROTJ not that he was better than himself when he was Anakin.

NewGuy01
Nah, you're thinking of the quote from Fightsaber. In the RotJ novel Vader muses that he's more powerful than he's ever been.

That's only ambiguously canon, though.

He is more powerful than he has ever been in the force.

Darth Thor
^ The Force is used in all aspects of combat. And LOTS canonically states Vader is more powerful on the Force than he ever was as Anakin.
