Where do people rank Senya and Vaylin?

Just curious what tier people think they fall into

UCanShootMyNova
Vaylin is about Vader level as a Force user, mid-high council tier as a lightsaber combatant and Dooku level as an overall combatant.

Senya is about TPM Maul level as a lightsaber combatant and about that level as an overall combatant.

Edit: Just read the fight between Vaylin and Senya. Would place Vaylin at around Qui Gon's level as an overall lightsaber combatant.

Revan is going to be fooder to MVayPlin when KOTET ends. wink

Maybe. She's certainly doing well for herself so far.

I'll rank them after reading, but Vaylin seems a Bane/Dooku Tier force User as of KotFE(+ as of KotET), with more raw power, but less mastery.

darthbane77
Vaylin is Vader level as a Force user and maybe Qui-Gon level as a swordsman.
Senya is probably ROTS Kenobi/TCW Maul level combatant.

Jmanghan
Vader would ragdoll Vaylin, nothing shes ever done suggests that she can compete with Vader.

Her potential, nor her raw power suggest that she can do so.

Azronger
Senya can stomp a bunch of fodder and has a lot of experience, so she's about Kas'im-level in skill and Force augmentation. Vaylin is a bit below PoD Bane-level in skill and Force augmentation, due to her being inferior to Senya in skill and not being strong enough in the Force to beat her. So I'd say both of them are high-level fodder as overall duelists.

Senya is an average Force sensitive, maybe a bit above. Vaylin can do a Force Maelstrom and ignite flammable objects with Lightning, as well as crush massive buildings with TK. Solidly below Dooku, but she can compete.

Overall, Senya's slightly above average, maybe Kanan-level overall, and Vaylin's about AotC Anakin-level.

What have they done to suggest that they are on par with Vaylin as Force-users?

They wouldn't even register on Valkorion's radar and he felt it necessary to suppress Vaylin's powers. Don't post mindless garbage.

Bunch of fodder who are better than an average Jedi Knight, individually.

Excuse me?

Senya made it possible to lift the Gravestone from the ground, alongside Lana Beniko and the Outlander. Even if we assume that the latter was contributing more to the effort than the former two, Senya would still be capable of lifting tons of rocks from the ground. This is further apparent from the fact that Senya easily removed substantial amount of debris that was blocking her entrance to the chamber where Arcann was lying.

She is definitely above average.

When have Count Dooku:

1. Destroyed a multi-story structure (or a building) and hurled its chunks like missiles towards a target?
2. Tanked an explosion that was potent enough to vaporize above-average Force-users?
3. Destroyed an entire contingent of Force-users?
4. Chugged Starships like missiles or even tore them apart?
5. Conjure a Force-maelstrom?

And after all that, she is solidly below Count Dooku? Common sense is a thing that needs to be taught now, I suppose.

Quote?



The Gravestone feat was a joint feat - not quantifiable. Then we are left with her other feats, which include, as you mentioned, removing debris, which is only somewhat above average, when compared to other fodder Force users - Read.



He can be scaled when considering some of his vast inferiors have comparable feats.



I don't recall him doing that. But when has Vaylin done that?



He hasn't. However, Vaylin's methods of accomplishing that are unknown, and even people like Raskta Lsu have accomplished army busting.



Both in Jedi Quest.



I always cringe when someone holds their opinions as "common sense".

---

But anyway, now it's my turn:

When has Vaylin dominated Force users with feats other than hurling debris?

When has Vaylin one-shot extremely powerful Force wielders with lightning?

When has Vaylin ever probed anyone with TP?

When has Vaylin ever blocked her own Force Lightning easily?

When has Vaylin ever called the abilities of the most powerful Ancient Sith as "lesser arts"?

Most of Vaylin feats are done on a nexus. Except losing to her mom, that wasn't nexus assisted.

Vaylin's raw power is in Vader's stratosphere, but her mastery tales a bit going by Emperor empirical evidence. She's prolly like, a, Corran Horn level duelist.

I have no idea where to Senya at all.

"Have I not taught you many secrets, Asajj?"

"Scraps. Little devices. Lesser arts. Not nearly what you would if I were your apprentice sworn in blood, I know. I am no fool," she said angrily. As if he didn't know that. As if she needed to convince him she was deadly. "I have learned much about the Sith. Their lineage and their greatness."

"But what of their natural history?" Dooku said. Ventress blinked. "What?"

"The Sith, considered as a species. An insect, perhaps." Asajj's thin lips got thinner. "You mock me."

"I have rarely been more serious." The Count paced over to a shelf of holocrons on the wall, plucked one out, and inserted it into the comm cube on his desk.

Note that Asajj has performed the Spell of Reanimation, a technique considered "complex" by Sorzus Syn, a peer of guys like Karness Muur and Remulus Dreypa.

By "raw power" do you mean potential or what she can use right now?

Deronn_solo
I mean, if both of them sat in a meditative trance is and tried to lift a simarly heavy object, they would perform analogous to the other.

Of course Vader's mastery, and combative usage still outstrip Vaylin's by a considerate margin until further notice.

No sh!t, 2 comes before three. My point is she planned on making three, and given how her journal goes on for quite a length of time since she made that statement, I see no reason to assume she wouldn't make it.

So far she's batting two for three, at least. Besides, even assuming she didn't make the third one, she still alchemically made a sorcery-empowered object that allows Muur to handle himself against the likes of Krayt and yet still considers a spell like the ones Asajj pulls off and Dooku thinks of as "lesser arts", as a complex one.

Palpatine's assessment is based on what he knows about the ancient Sith. And he identified his most powerful predecessors during OT era, if I am not mistaken. Mother Talzin one of them, so Count Dooku could be counted as well. But nope.

Ventress was probably just using a Nightsister technique anyway.

And literally who cares about Dooku's idiot opinions. He's one of the most stupidly arrogant and delusional Sith in history, and boy is that saying something.

It wasn't even Dooku's opinion. Asajj called them "lesser arts" compared to Dooku's power. And based on what was it a Nightsister technique?
Not only is that a source that existed before Asajj was even considered a Nightsister, she didn't even know her heritage at the time, lmao.
What, did she just impulsively chant: "Ooga-Booga" and they came to life?

Besides, Dooku's also re-animated the dead in Jedi Quest: Showdown.

People said it was Dooku's opinion, but yes I see it was Ventress who said it. Then why is this even an issue? Ventress is even more ignorant than Dooku is. Who cares about some petulant shit she said at some point. Besides which, that its a complex ability doesn't mean its a particularly powerful one. I mean, Ventress wasn't even taught Force Lightning or like she said, any of the real deal Sith stuff. This doesn't imply that she or Dooku are remotely in Syn's league.

Asajj didn't compare Dooku to the ancient Sith, dear. She compared her powers taught by Dooku, i.e. raising the dead, as "lesser arts" compared to what she knows Dooku can do.

She's performing sh!t that Sorzus Syn finds incredible, but then goes on to say Dooku knows even greater tricks and Sith techniques. She certainly isn't ignorant of Tyranus' power, thus the comparison is valid.

Um, what? No she isn't. She immediately makes it clear that she's talking about the Ancient Sith:

"Scraps. Little devices. Lesser arts. Not nearly what you would if I were your apprentice sworn in blood, I know. I am no fool," she said angrily.

As if he didn't know that. As if she needed to convince him she was deadly.

"I have learned much about the Sith. Their lineage and their greatness."

Shes specifically talking about the Sith in general, their lineage and greatness, not Dooku. And from what shes heard, she should be being taught more impressive stuff. Heck, if anything this indicates that Dooku's teachings are lacking compared to the stuff shes heard about. If not as if he actually displays anything that advanced. Syn leaves him in the dust in that department.

And you're lying about Syn finding it incredible. Literally all she says is that its a complex ability. Syn's ability to create incredibly powerful amulets and Leviathans and stand amongst the Exiles marks her as far greater than Ventress' paltry abilities.

Um, she just says she saw the Sith lineage and realized Dooku's been teaching her lesser arts of it as oppose to what he truly knows about it. Clearly Dooku knows more about these "higher arts" that come from the greatness of these Sith than Asajj, and Ventress already knows spells that even Sorzus Syn, who can do all the things you listed, finds complex.

Defining complex: "something consisting of many different parts, that is complicated in nature". With that in mind, it seems to imply to me that Sorzus raising the dead required for her to have prep, if we take it literally, or it just wasn't an easy thing to do, if we look at it logically. Asajj is casually pulling it off.

Obviously Sorzus is more knowledgable and powerful than Asajj, given her hype and other sorcery feats, but the fact that something she finds difficult is a "lesser art" compared to the "greatness of the Sith" that Dooku knew... well, let's just say that definitely places Tyranus in her general league.

Defining complex: "something consisting of many different parts, that is complicated in nature".

Errrrrrrrr, you basically just agreed with me and then made an assumption that "clearly" Dooku knows more. Nothing as such is indicated by Ventress. She makes no mention of Dooku's abilities. The only thing shes going off of are stories about the Sith, not anything shes witnessed from him.

Thats an incredible assumption. Theres no evidence Syn found it difficult, your just making shit up and stretching it as far as you need to fit your argument. You can perform something complex casually, even going by that definition. Juggling is pretty complex and people can do it with their eyes closed. Or insert any other feat people would term as indisputably complex that can still be performed without much effort.

No it doesn't. It's hearsay, for one thing. Not actual evidence in any form. Ventress is just going off of legends and assumptions while being a petulant child. Secondly, just because someone can do a similar thing to someone else doesn't make them comparable. Kaan did something Krayt did in his prime and in fact one upped him on it. Kaan > Post-Rebirth Krayt????? Hardly.

Besides which, Syn's section in the Book of Sith was written when she still discovering the secrets of sorcery, in its infant stages no less. Pretty sure she's literally the first Sith to learn sorcery, lol. Its not representative of her prime. And theres no indication that its the same technique we're talking about. Syn's description is of a ritual that requires spoken incantations and raises legions of dead that last for millennia. Which I don't believe is accurate with what Ventress does. So she could just be using a similar ability, thats perhaps on a smaller scale and easier to perform, without the need for spoken phrases.

At any rate, this comparison simply doesn't cut it.

Wolf I just read your reasoning for that and there's nothing which notes it was the Talisman that allowed Muur to compete with Krayt. In fact the Talisman seems to simply have the unique ability to create Rakghouls and contain Muur's spirit but all of Muur's accomplishments while bound to the Talisman were attributed to his own power.

And no, there's no evidence pointing to her having made a third amulet greater then the other two or evidence that it would have allowed her to surpass Muur or Dreypa as their power is not based solely off what they receive from these artifacts.

Don't be a fool. The other individual was only Lana, who isn't a particularly notable Force User, especially when Zakuul Knights are superior on average anyway. Senya is one of the top Knights, whereas Lana is an above average Sith Lord essentially. Senya would obviously be doing at least half of the work, and probably more than that.

I didn't say she was shit, but Senya is obviously superior or at least on par. You'd know this if you'd actually played the game. Hurling back some Knights doesn't compare to hurling back the Outlander or beating Vaylin.

Regardless of percentages though, a healthy chunk of that feat is still incredible no matter which side of the 50% line you're on.

The Outlander was distracted, lol. And beating Vaylin is a saber feat (what does she even have in that category anyway?), so it's irrelevant.

40+% of the weight of a capital ship the size of the Gravestone. Several thousand tonnes or more most likely.

"Basic shields" are hilariously easy to penetrate. People have done so to immeasurably more powerful characters.

So just because it was a marathon duel, the Force was involved? laughing out loud

I love how Neph pretends all the time that the Outlander can only be the HoT logically to wank Arcann, then goes ahead and uses the non-force sensitive cutscene for the Gravestone feat.

Nephthys
Not especially. The fact is that Arcann can perform the feats he does when facing a HoT. And Lana and Senya can perform the Gravestone feat without a force using PC. In both cases this doesn't change if you reverse the protags status. Both circumstances are valid.

I also use the other protags as potential Outlanders. Its just that the Hero represents the pinnacle of the possibilities (in my opinion), and thus the most logical choice when discussing abilities and feats.

Right, just like Arcann is slowly swinging his saber, Vader and Ben are tapping their lightsticks together and Sidious is slowly stabbing Kolar in the chest. You have to give them leeway on speed and capabilities because of the limitations of the medium.

Even if we use our imaginations here, yet calculate in detail the size of the debris Senya threw, I fail to see what the protag could've done to overcome Arcann through a blaster pistol in a one vs. one combat that wouldn't make Arcann out to be sh*t.

Well I would say that they were able to stun him via a blow to the head/kick to the chest and then hit him while his guard was lowered. Which wouldn't require Arcann to be shit, it would just need them to be very fast and competent. Which they obviously are.


I mean, its nowhere near Anakin dueling Hondo for like 2 minutes in terms of embarrassing.....

Uh huh. It's still a pretty lame way to get stunned, by the ship shaking (even though the non-Force sensitive protag was just fine) or by getting pistol whipped.

Yoda: Dark Rendezvous takes place in 19BBY, shortly before RotS. Dooku's dominating Ventress by then.

And for K'kruhk: the co-pilot thinks it's the controls of the ship, but in reality the editor and the writer confirm K'kruhk brought it down via strength of the Force. And you don't need to be Yoda to manipulate ships, lmao.

S_W_LeGenD
So a hyperdrive explosion is as potent as a Force lightning spell of Dooku? roll eyes (sarcastic)

I do not know much about Senya's defensive abilities but she is a powerful Force-user. An explosion that could literally vaporize her from existence, should be much more potent than the blast of energy unleashed by Darth Plagueis that nearly atomized some assassins. So we are looking at a manifestation of energy that only the most powerful Force-users in history should be able to tank.


Your denial is futile.

Vaylin was directly responsible for that carnage. She not just killed a large number of Force-users there but also destroyed scores of Starships (proper Shuttles among them) in the process. No character in the PT era has a comparable showing.


And where is the proof of that?

Dooku is really old at that time. He should be in decline, not the other way round. More importantly, he should be at his best in a setting strong in the Dark Side, not the other way round.

Living beings (even Force-users) never grow in power throughout the course of their existence. Sooner of later, aging takes its toll on them. Dark Side practices are specially noted for accelerating the aging process.


You have comprehension problems, my friend.

It does makes difference if the Starships are corroded; it implies loss of their durability and weight over time.

Now, see the highlighted parts of the revelation above. Dooku was not lifting them and/or chugging them like missiles towards his subjects, he was shoving them towards the direction of his subjects, one at a time. They shattered from collision with each other and walls. Dooku was not ripping them apart either.

Now, let us look at the specifics of Valyin's showing of similar nature:-

1. The Starships were in good (functioning) condition. The Knights of Zakuul were using them.

2. The setting was neutral: Ord Mantell.

3. Vaylin not just shove the Starships around, she literally tore them apart (proper Shuttles among them).

Vaylin's showing is clearly superior to that of Dooku, all specifics considered.


The evidence is in the text. Use your brain.


WTF?

That is just Force lightning.


Vaylin doesn't have to replicate every single feat of Dooku to establish her superiority. We look at examples where the two are comparable and draw conclusions from them.

Vaylin have superior showings than Dooku in all spectrums where they can be directly compared.

I don't recall Vaylin using Force lightning by the way.

OK

Then it is just like Palpatine catching Count Dooku in his invisible grip in one instance.

Nephthys
Dooku was on a nexus and he attacked her while she wasn't defending herself, mid-conversation and in such a way as to debilitate her to the point of not being able to resist. As seen in the Savage fight, he clearly can't dominate her that easily in a normal situation.

That said, he clearly can dominate her with the Force just not to that extent.

That story is from a subjective source of a person who has no idea what's going on and wasn't even in charge of the controls. The actually editor and aid of the author, who definitely has more right to the story than you and your head-canon, confirms K'kruhk brought it down.

Nephthys
.....by manipulating the controls yes.

Have you never heard someone say "bring us down, guy-at-the-controls"? Or did you think the pilot was telekinetically shoving them down in all of those cases as well?

MythLord
Brought it down through power, I meant. It's essentially confirmed by an out-of-universe, objective source, who worked on the story. That's better than a character who had no idea what was going on, who wasn't even looking at the controls, yelling: "Itz da controlz!"

Nephthys
"Essentially confirmed" meaning "my interpretation of how I want to take it". That guy was sitting in the cockpit as a pilot. Pretty sure he can see if the controls are moving or not.

No, he openly states that K'kruhk's power in the Force "is enough to tear a ship from the sky." In this case the key word is power.

Also, the co-pilot wasn't even looking at the controls when the ship started going down, and the actual pilot was pulling the controls upwards, something he couldn't do if they were being manipulated.

In this case, an author/editor isn't giving his opinion, he's saying what was the purpose of the feat/part of the story -- something he has more right to than you.

If the editor/author said: "Well I personally think K'kruhk can pull/throw ships" then sure you can argue it's a fallible source, but in this case he's confirming a part of the story not stating his opinion.

I'll gladly take the author confirming an event he wrote, unless his word is contradicted/retconned. Tom's word is retconned, the K'kruhk thing isn't.

Call it an explanation or whatever, it is an interpretation of the author of an event in question (outside the published content). But the published content implies otherwise.

Contradiction is the right word to use. Those interpretations are contradicted in published literature. Nothing else.

Same is the case with the showing of K'Kruhk. The published content gives the impression that the Jedi was manipulating the controls of the Starship in order to crash it. It contradicts the author's interpretation.
