Lmfao. He's fighting Droma, not ****ing Palpatine.

DarthAnt66
So can Revan. thumb up

And prime Kun at that.

chingchangwalla
Obviously. In just about every thread with Revan you say he takes Sabers. Why? Because he knows Echani and Mando techniques? It's obviously not true, but for Malak to be considered a better duelist (can't remember the source) means Revan is in the same league. And Droma should beat Malak almost every time in sabers.

Again, based on what?

DarthAnt66
Well for one, Droma isn't beating Malak every time in sabers. Chances are they're around the same level. Hell, Malak might even be better.

For two, the fact Malak *may* have greater technical lightsaber skill than Revan doesn't make him a better duelist.

Revan's so good because of the combination of the Jedi lightsaber forms, the Mandalorian and Echani arts, battle precognition, and his Force augmentation.

In which he killed in seconds!

One of those guards is apparently equal to a Dark Council member or something.

Don't get me wrong, I WANT Revan to win this, but I can't see him doing so.

DarthAnt66
He's the second greatest Jedi of the age, his combat abilities have been compared to Revan's military success, and he beat Bastila Shan in roughly twenty seconds.

The latter feat frankly being relevant due to Bastila Shan being an immensely powerful Jedi with lightsaber skills compared to Exar Kun and Darth Maul.

chingchangwalla
I'm really interested in the Malak > Droma Ant. Exar should smoke Malak...

UCanShootMyNova

Exar and Maul in the same league? I'm too much of a fanboy to even go there.

DarthAnt66
I'd gladly do a public CaV style Revan vs Exar Kun debate with you, Ching.

You'd get trashed, but still.

Eh, Kun's pretty good. Obviously not as good as Maul in technical skill, but with other things considered, he's up there, yeah.

She's listed as a tier three double-bladed duelist in KotORCG.

Note that even the likes of Grievous isn't listed as tier three.

It's exclusive among Maul, Kun, and Shan, from what I've seen.

DarthAnt66
And regarding where I have Revan in sabers, I have him as generally on par with Exar Kun, Darth Krayt, Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Dooku, etc.

The only duelists I can really see taking a clean majority against him are Palpatine, Yoda, Luke Skywalker, Darth Caedus, and Anakin Skywalker.

Possibly also Mace Windu, but it depends on your interpretation of the text.

chingchangwalla
^ Is that just in technical skill? I hope it is.

DarthAnt66
Overall combative ability, but Kenobi and Dooku aren't *exactly* on the same level as Kun, Krayt, and Vader due to their weaker connection to the Force.

I was generally speaking, of course.

So you have Anakin superior to Vader ?

Anakin's definitely better than Vader, yeah.

Especially in lightsaber combat.

In Force it's closer, but Skywalker still triumphs.

UCanShootMyNova
Sources that list Bastilla within Dooku's tier alongside Kenobi ( when it's clear Dooku is his superior due to Kenobi getting trashed by Dooku every single time they've ever fought ) or equal to Grievous in sabers are blatantly incorrect. Ant hasn't learned his lesson yet on using unsupported sh!tty quotes though it appears.

Well for one, the source that lists Shan in Dooku's tier isn't even KotORCG, but the fact two *different* sources label Shan on that level is certainly telling.

No one wants to hear you cry though, so go find someplace private.

UCanShootMyNova
Unfortunately for you Bastilla is and will always be sh!t and everybody knows it. None of your shitty Wizards of the Coast or KotORCG guide quotes will change that.

Unless of course you want to accept SK oneshotted an ISD with force energies as is confirmed in the TFUIICG. smile

If not, fugg off.

chingchangwalla
This nitpicking of quote relevance is disturbing. People picking and choosing which quotes are relevant to support their case is ****ed. All are fine (as long as there is no contradiction)

DarthAnt66
@UCSMN:

Considering it doesn't seem you even know what the difference is between a CG and a PG, I recommend stop talking because you're embarrassing yourself.

Again.

I really look forward to applying these standards to some of your other arguments. It wouldwill be a thrill.

Except there is contradiction. We know that the Wizards of the Coast ROLEPLAYING guide is notorious for putting up quotes that are crazy inaccurate on the basis of showings.

The CG ( Campaign Guides ) for games have generic tier rankings for dueling and other categories that put characters who shouldn't even be near each other on the same level. What's disturbing is Ant trying to pass those things off as evidence to support his case.

DarthAnt66
What's disturbing is you ignoring it specifically because you don't like what it says.

Like, that's literally your argument - that it so differs from your placement of characters that it can't possibly be true.

It's amusing though, so let's all watch and see what bullshit excuse you can post next.

You called it the KotORCG.

I assume you're referring to the KOTOR campaign guide which is essentially directions for the game that you use to justify events that were not confirmed in any other source and is basically only confirmed there because it's an actual instruction guide for the game. Lmao.

That's the KotORPG (the prima guide). Not the KotORCG (the campaign guide).

This is too much fun.

I'm ignoring it because based off the multitude of quotes from it we know it to be inaccurate based upon showings from far more legitimate sources. Such as the RotS novel for example.

Probably won't be nearly as wide or deep as yours tbh.

DarthAnt66
Yeah, you basically said that already three times.

We laughed at you all three times.

Care to say it a fourth?

And? What does that have to do with the dubious quality of the existing quotes you try to tout? It doesn't matter where they come from if they contradict shown events.

DarthAnt66
Ah, nice, so you concede the point.

You mask it by just shifting to your other point.

But that point isn't actually a point, just you complaining,

So feel free to try to raise a new one. laughing out loud

Care to actually post a counter for why we should accept your sh!tty quotes. smile

?

What point am I apparently shifting to in your deluded mind?

The point is, if a quote is contradicted by showings then it's obviously not usable.

Until you address the one I'm bringing up I don't feel the need to.

DarthAnt66
No, I need not justify why an officially licensed, canon source should be considered an officially licensed, canon source.

Sasukedc has already hammered into you about this, I believe.

By denying the validity of the quote for no reason other than where you personally rank the characters, you concede the point by default.

You're stating there is a direct contradiction when the only contradiction is fan-constructed and made.

Revan wins

Pathetic debating from Ant's opponents

So then you believe Starkiller oneshotted an ISD with force energy since the TFUIICG is also an "officially licensed canon source?" :P Just want to hear you admit it.

I deny the quote on the basis that it contradicts shown events in areas of more consistent canon. I.E. Obi Wan is not on Dooku's tier.

Except it's not and that's what I'm trying to point out to you.

DarthAnt66
Feel free to provide the quote.

Ah, you still don't get it. Allow me to explain (for the last time):

A legitimate contradiction is only when one work explicitly states X, but then another work (or sometimes even the same) declares Y in the same context.

For example, Darth Bandon being proclaimed the most powerful Sith ever is contradicted by his inferiority to Revan, who is inferior to Vitiate, who is inferior to Palpatine, the proclaimed most powerful Sith Lord.

However, if Darth Bandon is proclaimed more powerful than, say, an unnamed planet-consuming entity, then is no actual contradiction. Nothing demands the entity to be more powerful than Darth Bandon besides fan-based assessments, which aren't actual arguments. Thus, Darth Bandon would factually be greater than the planet-consuming entity, and all characters would have to be scaled up appropriately.

UCanShootMyNova
Here: http://www.ign.com/wikis/star-wars-the-force-unleashed-ii/Salvation%3A_The_Battle_for_the_Salvation_3

And you're saying you'd believe Bandon to be more powerful then said planet consuming entity if a quote like that existed?

DarthAnt66
And all characters scaled up appropriately, of course.

Otherwise, you're way of thinking is inherently biased because it's based on fan-based assessments (ex. you), not legitimate facts.

I can't accept that. If it goes against the reasonable knowledge on the character we possess ( even if it doesn't outright contradict it ) I can't accept it as valid.

Well, now that I understand your basis I can respect it if not agree with it. Carry on.

Anyway, quote me on what in particular you're referring to.

The confirmation that SK powered the cannon that blew apart the ISD in the Salvation missions.

Well then you're wrong, and I can't accept your stances in general as valid since they neglect facts in preference of favoritism.

*Shrug* Then you don't have to.

My stances are based on rationality and takes into account the fact that their can be errors in a canon system as large as the Star Wars EU. I attempt to not let favoritism tint my view of characters. Despite my bold proclamations I don't think Galen is a peer of Sidious's because I know that that's not what the writers intended. I may defend his performance against Sidious and point out the flaws in people's arguments detracting from it but I've only ever claimed he's above Vader, made my arguments and let people decide where to place him from there.
