Where do YOU put X2?

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



Jmanghan
As a Jedi Master.

I believe that X2 is right below Korr, if not at his level.

Who do you put directly above X2?

Also, who do you put directly below him?

If I know the general consensus of where he is, I can then find out who he'd be good against, and who he'd get stomped by.

Stormtrooper with a lightsaber level.

mmm

I guess so, yeah.

Jmanghan
So, do you think Ren could take a Magnaguard? Cause I think he'd get stomped.

While X2 was killing them casually as a clone trooper.

You like X2 a lot don't you

Before I made a thread on him a year or two ago, no one knew or cared who he was, but he actually has a lot of solid feats.

I think its a mixture of everyone either getting tired of my constant usage of X2, not knowing who X2 is, but shitting on him anyway, and also confusing X2 with X1 or even X7.

Tell me X2's best feats.

NewGuy01
He captured Luke in some game no one played iirc.

EDIT: Actually, I think that was X1.

Beating a Jedi Master in single combat, with a blaster rifle (though they fought in a very confined space).

As a Jedi, his best feat is single-handedly taking down an army of Stormtroopers on Bespin, as well as taking down Vader's personal guard, and another army of stormtroopers on Vjun, in Bast Castle, which is a dark side nexus.

He also killed a bunch of Nightsisters by himself after they killed Grey Squadron, then killed their leader's pet rancor, and the leader herself, who was pretty powerful. (X2 had said he could feel a powerful dark side energy coming from her)

He also was able to defeat his brother, who was a Sith Lord, and had studied a holocron, despite his brother having all the advantages, and help from Royal Guards, Dark Wookie Clones, and more Royal Guards.

LOL. Finn's a MagnaGuard level, Kylo stomped him under extremely negative circumstances.

Kylo > X2, tbh.

Magnaguards have given people like Shaak Ti, Kenobi, and Anakin trouble, they would tear Finn to pieces, nice how you ignored all that other stuff.

You do realize there's differing types of MagnaGuards, yes? Because you're essentially generalizing IG 101 as being every single MagnaGuard and if that were the case, Fisto wouldn't have eviscerated two of them, Maul wouldn't have stomped six, and Shaak wouldn't have blitzed 5.

A standard MagnaGuard = a standard Jedi Knight. I have Finn on Jedi Knight level, because he's in the top 1% of an Order of supersoldiers trained from birth, in ways inspired by the training of Jedi and later master melee weapons to combat lightsaber wielding combatants(i.e. Jedi).

Everything points to Finn being on par with your standard Jedi Knight, or above. Especially in-canon where non-Force sensitives fight Force sensitives on a daily basis and don't get absolutely massacred. thumb up

And this negates the fact that X2 was taking them out by the handful casually, with little effort, 1-3 at the same time, and I think you fight 8-10 of them, and kill all of them by yourself.

Grievous' personal guards that are inconsistent due to only some of them being so well trained they can challenge top tiers, but most are on par with Jedi Knights.

He actually does have the hype. And absence of evidence =/= evidence of absence, logic simply points to Finn being incredibly talented as a melee combatant.

With the aid of Windu, who could stomp three standard MagnaGuards with alacrity.

And Kylo's ability to murk Finn, under those circumstances, lead me to believe he's capable of at least taking on two MGs.

Will have to go back and check, but I don't think he even engaged one in combat.

Jmanghan
Ok, just went back to take a look, Mace Windu kills 1.

1 single Magnaguard.

You fight 5, and then X2 fights another 2 off-screen. (You see more magnaguards enter the room after Grievous runs off.)

He does this using an Electrostaff, no melee weapons.

Which means he fights them... 3v1, 2v1, and then 2v1.

Oh, and also, Mace Windu praises X2 for his melee combat as well. "Your melee combat defies expectations, X2." - Mace Windu

MythLord
That's a flipping game mechanic. You don't take those as canon, ayy LMAO. Mace is both skilled and powerful enough to casually dipsatch several MagnaGuards without much strain, in fact he has already in Obsession 5 while focusing on Tyranus.

Windu would probably also praise Kylo's skill, tbh.

Windu would beat Kylo with a single stroke if he was serious.

All you are showing me is that X2 as a clone would take Finn, as well as Kylo Ren.

Don't try to argue game mechanics when there are scripted, canon events that take place.

The Magnaguards won't spawn, and you don't get to fight them till you're right outside Grievous door.

Its scripted, btw, Mace Windu fights Grievous only during that fight, and doesn't deviate from fighting him to help you, at all, and the same thing will happen in every playthrough no matter what you do.

You've provided no evidence for Finn's superiority over a Padawan btw, besides your argument that he was trained to fight like a Jedi, which doesn't automatically mean he fights like a Jedi.

Yeah, that's a game mechanic. It's scripted that he and Mace fought MagnaGuards and Grievous, but that doesn't mean Mace kills one and then you kill 10 laughing

So beating Finn means beating Kylo Ren? LOL, that's just ridiculous.

So your argument is:"Finn is trained to fight like a Jedi, but that doesn't mean he fights like a Jedi!" despite the fact that this is exactly what it means? So that means a padawan can take Finn, who's casually stomping Elite supersoldiers trained from birth with rigorous, Jedi-esque training, in-depth historical knowledge on all of the battles during the Clone Wars, and several combat simulations per day?

This isn't even mentioning Finn holding back or being tired in most of his fights with said FO troopers, and how he still stomped one of them in 3 seconds, and two of them in under a minute, then went on to face several Elites and best them quickly.

In a continuity where a standard Mandalorian assassin can give Obi-Wan Kenobi grief, it's hard to believe one of the absolute top supersoldiers of an Order trained from birth, and at one point in ways to combat Jedi, wouldn't beat a padawan, a Knight or a MagnaGuard?

Obi-Wan was beating the shit out of Pre-Viszla, who was the best Mandalorian.

You think Kylo Ren could take Boba Fett or Jango Fett??? Really? You think Finn would last anywhere near that?

Mmkay, what happens is, canonically, you see Mace kill 1 Magnaguard, then you fight the rest.

If Mace doesn't deviate from his fight with Grievous, it means YOU are the one killing the magnaguards. It does not let Mace help you once you get into the room with Grievous. Which means its scripted, what, are you gonna argue Revan pulling Meteors down is a game mechanic, or when he TK's the entire group?

You need to know distinctions between the two.

Yes, Zett Jukassa was doing just fine against a few of them before he got shot down, X2 soloed hundreds of them single-handedly, the stormtroopers are
nothing special, the Royal Guards are all better then them.

Also, the inconsistencies don't override the fact that the Magnaguards are above any stormtrooper.

"Well, you're saying all this about Finn, but X2 was a clone too, right?"

He was a clone of a Force Sensitive Jedi, and all the other clones were of Jango Fett.

X2 also fought off a Jedi Master on his own.

So because one video has Mace cutting down a single MagnaGuard during gameplay, that means he automatically cut down a single MagnaGuard? I'm all for scripted parts, but this isn't a scripted part and you have no proof of that other than seeing Mace slice down just one in one instance of gameplay.

In fact, it wouldn't make sense for him to kill one and then leave the rest to X2, he would've either killed none or killed quite a few. Grievous, by himself, also isn't enough to really distract Mace completely and risk him losing a fine Clone and potential Jedi.

I'll say it again: This isn't your Imperial Stormtrooper or Republic Clone Trooper. This is the First Order Stormtrooper that shits on the former two.

Do you not comprehend there is a difference between fodder trained to shoot down droids, and supersoldiers trained from birth and taught in melee arts with training inspired by the Jedi Order? Is that so far outside your mental capacity?

Your entire argument relies on comparing Imperials and Republic Clones to FO Stormtroopers, which have totally different training and combative capabilities.

And Kylo could fight off and kill a Jedi Maser, probably.

Boba was a legitimate threat to Legends Luke and Kyle Katarn, where Kyle says he barely got away with his life.

A lot of those are accolades, and his showings don't really mirror that.

Kylo got tagged by a stormtrooper, and I did see his respect thread, which, while impressive for a stormtrooper, had nothing that suggest he would even register against Rex, and it said nothing about Jedi-esque training.

Once Rey got serious, she made Ren her *****, and it was her first time ever using a lightsaber, OR the force, in combat.

Yes, it was. She was getting wrecked by him before, then closes her eyes, we hear the theme music and she says "The Force" and proceeds to start wrecking, despite prior to that getting wrecked.

The novelisation also notes this, IIRC.

And statements come from the creators/narrators/Gods of the universe. They have far, far more authority than you just watching a movie then proceeding to type a factually incorrect argument on the internet.

Not that it matters, this is X2 we're talking about.

By the time X2 was already a Jedi, he had mastered Force Jump, took out several Royal
Guards on his own, fought off Magnaguards, 2v1 in single combat.

Oh, and it was said that Magnaguards can move at lightspeed, and know all 7 lightsaber forms.

Finn is a footnote to them.

Oh mah Gerd! Da Force Jump! it's not like dats a basic ability, or nothin'...

Kylo can beat MagnaGuards, or Royal Guards.

And lol at you taking the MagnaGuard quote of being "lightspeed" seriously. My trolling aside, I'm sure nobody believes that, and if that were true then Kenobi, Maul and Anakin should all be significantly faster than they actually are.

At best they're hypersonic+, but then you could argue the same for Ren.

The fight between Mace and Palpatine lasted like 2 seconds because of how fast they were going, but they still had a full fight, IIRC.

If he's as good as those accolades says.

Pretty sure a single Royal Guard would give Kylo hell though, even based on what I've seen.

What I meant was, X2 did it as a rebel, the force jump, the killing Royal Guards and shit. You can lowball it all you like, but its still a very impressive feat.

If you believe all this shit then you must have Ren ranked pretty high, up there with Kyle Katarn or some shit.

Keep in mind, I've only been arguing for Clone/Rebel X2, and so far, X2 takes him, without even using a melee weapon. :/

X2 has taken 3 Royal Guards, and he's taken 2 Magnaguards by himself, and been able to stand with Grievous and not get stomped immediately, regardless of whether or not it was with Windu's help.

If we're using Jedi X2, he stomps.

Blaster bolts in canon has no confirmed speed, tbh. Needless to say, I doubt it's approaching Hypersonic at any rate.

Hence why I said composite. Canon characters are significantly slower than their Legends selves, for sure.

Not Kyle Katarn level. But above X2, tbh.

...But why isn't he though? erm

What is Kylo Ren going to against someone with X2's feats?

Someone who has astronomically better feats.

He fought all those guys as a clone and he improved drastically once he became a Jedi (obviously).

Your entire argument has been based on assumption that he could take this character, and that character, when he clearly has done nothing to prove that he could. Hence, your argument is pointless, you lose.

Kylo Ren has tons of accolades going for him, but none of those are nearly enough to put him close to X2.

You've been ignoring me this entire conversation, haven't you? You essentially just keep regurgitating the same argument, but phrased differently. You can either continue making me run in circles or concede.

But anyways, stomping the absolute best of an Order of supersoldiers trained to face Jedi, that go through rigorous training simulations several times per day since birth, for decades on end, and his superior -- is better than fighting a Jedi Master, fighting a MagnaGuard, learning to use Force Jump and then improving.

Of course, Ren also has feats of slaughtering several Jedi Knights, which easily surpasses killing a MagnaGuard or two.

I don't think you know anything about Magnaguards besides what you've watched in shows and movies.

Uh, no, it isn't, Kylo Ren stomping Finn, whose best feat is being the best of the First Order Stormtroopers, isn't better then beating a Jedi Master and taking on 2 Magnaguards as a clone, it just isn't. And everyone, Literally EVERYONE agrees.

Everyone... EVERYONE is disagreeing with you on Finn.

No one, absolutely NO ONE thinks he has what it takes to take on any Jedi.

Btw, I was looking through it, and Imperial Stormtroopers have exactly the same training as First Order Stormtroopers, just that they do it since birth, and Imperial Stormtroopers do it for about 2-3 years, the First Order Stormtroopers aren't nearly as impressive as you're making them out to be.

Again, those are the feats of JUST Clone/Rebel X2, he hasn't even become a Jedi by that point.

Come up with something more the his accolades and stomping Finn, or you lose. Thats just plain how it is, Kylo Ren stomping Finn doesn't even put him remotely in the same league as X2.

Nobody has yet to stand up for X2 regarding a fight between him and Kylo Ren, so that whole "EVERYONE" thing isn't a factor. Try winning adebate on the merit of your own arguments, not just blindly following the vast majority.

And sure simply beating Finn probably isn't better. But stomping him, while at the same time being emotionally and physically crippled? Certainly is a better feat, thumb up

Stop with the bandwagon fallacy, already. EVERYONE who disagrees with me can stand up and defend their own case/counter mine. Such hasn't happened yet, and so far several users do freely and openly agree with my case on Finn.

What some other users think is still irrelevant here because it's not them debating me, it's you, and so far your arguments are some of the most cringe-worthy I've seen.

No, they don't have the same training. Their training isn't inspired by the Jedi, their training doesn't include several rigorous training sessions since birth on a daily basis, their training(for the most part) doesn't dwell into high-tier melee combat, etc.

It's not the same thing, something that cannot get through your cranium.

You openly admitted he couldn't take a Jedi Knight.

As a Clone/Rebel, X2 was taking on multiple Magnaguards, as well as multiple Royal Guards. You just admitted that Kylo Ren would lose to more then 3 Royal Guards, and X2 has taken on more then that by himself as a rebel.

I don't recall a Jedi ever being tagged by a Stormtrooper, of any kind.

You have been spouting all this Jedi-esque bs and have yet to post it btw, not denying it exists, but it'd be better if you posted it.

I saw Finn's respect thread, and his training aside, he hasn't done anything impressive besides tag Kylo Ren when he was holding back.

Yes he has, you keep denying it.

When did I admit that? I admitted he cannot take a Master, and would probably lose to a Knight, but he'd give them hell.

Ah, it's from the Official Star Wars G+ page(not the community, the page run by the Disney administrators):

http://static1.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11117/111178634/5277052-9345438885-bandi.png

Regarding X2's feat: He didn't beat them CQC, he shot at them with blaster fire. So he's a skilled marksman, has nothing to do with his dueling capabilities. He also didn't fight 4 of them at the same time, if Kylo fought ten of then, one-at-a-time, he'd win. If he gets gang-banged, he'd lose.

The only other time he fought them, would be when he faced X1, and even then those weren't Palpatine's Royal Guards(i.e. the ones I think can take Kylo if there's multiple of them), and they weren't wielding their standard weaponry, but rather blasters, which X2 as a Jedi can logically deflect and cut through. Nothing Kylo isn't capable of doing.

Ok, without referencing Finn's training, which shouldn't matter against someone "like Kylo Ren".

Tell me what Finn has done, that makes stomping him while injured impressive?

I've been presenting my argument, and you just keep saying "Well, Finn was trained in the Jedi Arts and he was the best of the First Order Stormtroopers".

But besides injuring an injured Kylo Ren who was holding back, what has he done?

I remember seeing some long ass nerdy calc somewhere proclaiming that the blaster bolts in the movies were a little over the speed of the best pitchers in the MLB. Given that the very best batters in the world bat, what? .300-.400? And Jedi bat away like a dozen+ in like every scene, if we take that calc at face value, Jedi are definitely superhuman, but not by a great deal.

He took on the Magnaguards and Grievous alongside Windu in close-quarters combat. That was specifically stated.

And? Those still weren't Palpatine's Royal Guards, and like you say their moral was significantly less.

What has Finn done? How about stomping one of the best FO Stormtroopers in three seconds? Stomping 2 in under a minute? Stomping several other Elites one after anothers, some even enraged and wielding superior weaponry, while he was getting tired and holding back.

How about being an exemplary soldier, who casually succeeded in the "rigorous" training sessions of the First Order?

How about having an in-depth knowledge on several, if not all, battles of the Clone Wars?

And of course being trained similarly to Jedi in terms of melee combat, which is also an extreme feat.

I'm mentioning why Kylo's more impressive.

Thats cool. Anything else? Because as far as I can tell, it still doesn't beat X2's feat of slaughtering over 50 Imperial Stormtroopers in a single battle, along with Vader's personal droid bodyguard, on a dark side nexus, while X2 is a lightsider.

"No they aren't" = Your argument.

Kylo isn't taking on 50 stormtroopers and Vader's personal guard.

Pong Krell, with all the advantages, and the element of surprise, wasn't able to take out the group that was sent after him.

If that isn't enough for you, X2 fought off a bunch of Nightsisters on Dathomir, then killed their Leader's pet rancor, while she was riding it, and proceeded to defeat their leader, who was powerful enough for X2 to sense her power from far away.

What you are arguing is ridiculous, Finn isn't worth more then 10-15 Stormtroopers, and he hasn't done anything to suggest he is.

And I doubt that's something outside of Kylo's capabilities, if I'm being frank. A Jedi Knight > a Nightsister, and he's killed dozens of them.

No?... Carnor Jax and Kir Kanos fought for this same reason, and the ONLY source we have is the game and its Wookiepedia page, and the Wookiepedia page lists the Emporer's Royal Guard as the ones who fought X2 early in the Galactic Civil War, AND the ones that help X1 in the Battle of Mustafar.

But you don't know that, Pong Krell was put in the same situation, in fact, a more advantageous one, and there weren't nearly as many, although Krell still managed to get captured.

The Nightsisters, along with Ventress, were able to push Dooku, and were fighting just as hard as Ventress was.

Not even mentioning he beat their Matriarch, who was powerful enough that she left a Dark Side aura through-out the area she was in, and just before that, her pet rancor, while she was riding it.

For now, Finn stomping a bunch of his peers, who are also stormtroopers, just isn't good enough.

There's nothing that shows their VAST superiority besides their extensive learning of melee combat. Despite them learning the "Jedi Arts", it can't put them on the level of your average Jedi Knight.

The magnaguards are vastly superior, and I'm surprised you dunno why.

They are faster, more durable, have superior weaponry, and actually have the capabilities to utilize the 7 lightsaber forms of combat. You, being the one who made a respect thread, should know this.

You keep trying to say that stomping Finn while injured is a superior feat to X2 fighting multiple nightsisters by himself, and then fighting their powerful leader in single combat and beating her, just before, killing her pet rancor.

@BazookaMaster, I guess? But Idk, X2 has a definitive identity, and by the end of the game, we know quite a bit about him, we see his entire life story, and his missions are all listed as official missions in Galactic History.

Zenwolf
The Royal Guard are loyal to Palpatine yeah, but when he died the 1st time, his remaining Guardsmen either served warlords, followed their own paths or went back to their old Stormtrooper unit. X1 I believe was one of those Imperial warlords yes? So there ya go, though when Palps came back, they all flocked to serve him again.

Then when he died for the final time, the remaining 21 Guardsmen then returned to Yinchorr to mourn their Emperor only to find out that Carnor Jax had betrayed them and the Emperor. They swore to kill the traitor, they were then attacked by an overwhelming number of Stormtroopers, killing all of them expect Kir Kanos who was then the last remaining Guardsmen to avenge their Emperor.

Alright, got it? Good, hope that cleared everything up.

Your only point is that Finn's training somehow puts him above a Padawan, and based on showings he's had against other stormtroopers. :/

Thats the same point you keep going over, continuously.

When X2 had done much more impressive things as a clone himself, much less what he did as a Jedi.

Studying the Jedi Arts, having a grueling training regimen, and stomping his peers that have also studied the same stuff he has, doesn't put him above a nameless Padawan, much less someone like Zett Jukassa.

I just re-watched Rey vs Kylo Ren, and just so you know, calling upon the Force, and having a one-with-the-force moment, are 2 VERY different things.

Just as well, earlier in the fight, Rey had used the force, which overpowered Kylo's btw, to get Anakin's lightsaber.

As for the Royal Guards, when they walk in with X1, there is a cutscene, the Royal Guards are holding Force Pikes.

Yeah, imagine how I see someone trained from birth to fight and kill Jedi, and stomped beings with similar training in killing Jedi, can kill a Jedi.

Why, it's almost like I use logic, which by now is a foreign concept to you, I'm certain.

And you need to read a book, for once. The novel describes how Rey had suddenly had a change in her, and attacked viciously beyond even what she thought she'd be capable of. She was experiencing a one with the Force moment. For further reference:



The Force Awakens Junior Novelisation notes how Ren senses Rey suddenly getting fueled by an emotion stronger than his rage:




At least attempt to have common knowledge of Star Wars, and how the Force works.

The fact that she had an easier time calling upon the Force than Ren did, only makes it that much more impressive for Kylo to drive her back, while holding back and being emotionally and physically weakened to the point of fatality.

Keeping in mind, Rey has perfected the art of melee combat and has surpassed troopers trained to fight and kill Jedi.

The weapons they used against X2 weren't Force Pikes, though. They were blasters, and defeating a blaster wielder, for even non Force sensitives with lightsabers, shouldn't be hard.

Uh, the Royal Guards had mastered every conceivable weapon in the Galaxy.

What you pointed out there? Thats not Oneness.

Being trained to kill Jedi does not automatically equal being able to kill Jedi.

They aren't the only ones who were trained "how to kill Jedi".

Almost all the Separatists, CIS, and Imperial forces were trained and programmed "how to kill Jedi".

It doesn't mean they were good at it.

Royal Guards, Inquisitors, Magnaguards, Clone and Stormtroopers.

And Rey had earlier on overpowered Ren's TK on the lightsaber.

Calling on the force and getting Oneness (which you can't get whenever you want btw) are very different things, again.

Yeah, it is. It's perfectly synonymous with other descriptions of Oneness we've got. In any case, it shows Rey got an amplification through abusing the Force in a way she never thought of before, she became fueled by something even Kylo couldn't comprehend and she herself didn't expect to be so vicious and effective.

No matter how you spin it, she was amplified. The only time Jedi gain such amplifications is when entering in a state comparable to that of Oneness. Prior to that, she's using the Force to resist Kylo, but still fails.

Being trained to kill Jedi does not automatically equal being able to kill Jedi.

They aren't the only ones who were trained "how to kill Jedi".

Almost all the Separatists, CIS, and Imperial forces were trained and programmed "how to kill Jedi".

It doesn't mean they were good at it.

Royal Guards, Inquisitors, Magnaguards, Clone and Stormtroopers.

Yeah, it does equate to them being capable of that. That's called logic.

Clone and Stormtroopers aren't specifically trained to fight Jedi, lmao. They're trained soldiers and marksmen, not melee fighters. And how they overcome Jedi is through sheer number.

The First Order Stormtroopers overcome the Jedi through sheer skill and quality in melee combat. And why did you point out Royal Guards, MagnaGuards and Inquisitors? All of them are equal/superior to standard Jedi Knights.

And a feat you keep ignoring is Kylo slaughtering dozens of these Jedi Knights, thus he's clearly substantially above a standard MagnaGuard, an Inquisitor, or Royal Guard.

And Rey had earlier on overpowered Ren's TK on the lightsaber.

Calling on the force and getting Oneness (which you can't get whenever you want btw) are very different things, again.

As I said, that makes it better for Kylo because he's stomping someone who can draw on the Force to a greater extent than he can.

And it's Oneness, or a form of amplification that Rey hadn't experienced before.

Yeah, it is. It's perfectly synonymous with other descriptions of Oneness we've got. In any case, it shows Rey got an amplification through abusing the Force in a way she never thought of before, she became fueled by something even Kylo couldn't comprehend and she herself didn't expect to be so vicious and effective.

And it's Oneness, or a form of amplification that Rey hadn't experienced before. I guess? But they were better then everyone else, so its still impressive.

No it isn't, it doesn't even remotely resemble Oneness.

Kylo slaughtering random Jedi Knights is impressive, but it doesn't put him above X2.

So, Rey, someone who had never ever used the force, is above Ren?

Thanks for the evidence.

Jman, don't you have the stance that opinions shouldn't be changed?

I recall you criticizing me for changing my views on Revan vs Plagueis.

If so, what's the point of debating if you don't want Wollf to change his mind and you don't want to change yours either?

And yeah, I know there's a novel now where Kylo Ren does some shit, but the people he fights are shit combatants aside from the Jedi Knights.

Rey is untrained.

Just as well, after what you've seen, don't act like Kylo Ren actually has a chance in this, he doesn't.

Finn is a shit combatant, and so is Rey, and Kylo stomped one, while he got destroyed by another.

Logically, X2 is above him because of a his superior showings and feats, as a CLONE much less as a Jedi.

Right. So why debate in the first place?

If you won't change your opinion, and don't want Wollf to either, it's literally pointless.

I see your point.
