ROTS Dooku vs. ROTJ Vader

Prime version of both characters. Who wins?

CactusJoe
Hard to say... Vader is physically stronger and has greater destructive feats. On the other hand, Dooku is more experienced and has better combat feats.

Someone convince me either way.

As per 7 different sources, Vader is more powerful than his pre suit self who already stomped Dooku.

Nice, can't deny Vader's superiority after reading that thumb up

Vader has Force advantage. Sabers could go either way, but im inclined to lean Vader even in Sabers given Dooku wont be a fan of Vaders immense physical strength.

Let's also keep in mind that Vader has superior armor and way better durability feats. The best thing that Dooku can throw at him is lightning. I personally don't believe that Dooku is powerful enough to get past Vader's lightsaber, armor, tk shields, and immense tolerance for pain. GG but Vader takes this pretty much every time.

George Lucas literally confirmed that pre-suit Vader was as powerful as Darth Sidious. After Mustafar, he was on the tier of Dooku and Maul, characters Sheev has essentially one-shotted. Lucas states his ability to use the Force is literally 'curbed' at that point due to losing his limbs. There is no debate, at all.

Anakin's curbstomp of Dooku was a Yoda tier feat, and Knightfall Vader was even more powerful than base Anakin with 'permission' to use his full power. Vader's best feats are woeful in comparison.

Dooku crumples Vader into a ball and then ragdolls the Emperor thumb up

Lol at Vader having any force advantage, and he gets annihilated in sabers.

@Ap So Lucas's quote which refers to potential is being taken above the 7 which state that Vader was better in shear power.

He used Vader to manipulate Ren. Vader can be thought of highly but still fall before Dooku. Dookus showings are supeioror to a suited Vader in the films.

Im having a dig at Dooku? Really? I have to question the level of Dooku fandom it would take for you to come to that conclusion.

You are just butthurt because Sidious did that to an actual Sith Lord, whilst best Snoke could do that to was a Padawan. No, it is what happened. Dooku is the apprentice and never engaged him back. Sidious using force powers on his subservient is not impressive at all whereas Snoke completely overpowered Rey who the infamous Luke Skywalker feared and lost his balance when she came after him.

Her power levels rose and were equal to Ren as explained. Snoke treated an active opponent like she was someone with no power against him. Sidious not even close despite your bias towards him.

^ Yeah keep making excuses. Sidious also ragdolled Maul and Opress together.

You are being idiotic as usual. I am explaining the context and my reasoning. You just say excuses because you cannot refute it. This is why you are a poor debater.

Maul and Opress were not engaged and quickly made it a duel. So yes he caught them off guard but was not able to effortlessly defeat either. He had to work for it.

Yes, yoda overpowered someone far less powerful than Rey or Ren who terrified Luke Skywalker.


Yoda failed to effortlessly overpower Dooku and failed in killing him. Against anyone impressive in power he is no Snoke.


Snoke


Luke Skywalker

In terms of Star Wars history Rey, Ren, Luke are heavyweights in terms of force power. Hugely significant so what does that say about Snokes power.

He is the only one to have done it with someone of Reys power level. What is impressive is not doing it to someone. What makes it impressive is doing it of someone of Reys power as shown in two films. She is a biiiigggggg deal.


Your opinion is not a fact but you always thought so. Not hard to expose you. Regardless of your bias which you just admitted Snoke is extremely powerful. I believe as does Serkis he is more powerful than Sidious.

He got both his hands chopped off and Sheev then revealed his betrayal, essentially leaving him unarmed and broken facing the two strongest force users in the galaxy. You compare this to getting a man into your wife's bed and pretend there is some degree to accuracy to it.

Vader should be the winner. Vader has an advantage over Dooku. Superior physical strength(assuming EU Vader).

Wait, how many quotes state Vader is more powerful than Anakin? I've suddenly forgotten and need someone to tell me ten more times. But don't actually post the quotes, just tell me about them in every thread okay?

Freedon Nadd
Do you need quotes saying that he grew in power after he got his suit?

Freedon Nadd
However I think Sidious refers to Vader's alignment? Meaning he was more and more shifting to Darkness(after all Palpatine thinks the Dark Side>Light Side). And if the concept that Vader<Anakin is wrong, then Anakin/Vader is pretty much a banal Sith Lord. It wouldn't make sense he asked for Luke's help to overthrow Palpatine when he could do it himself.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the second quote is from Lords of the Sith, a canon novel.
As for the third quote, not only is it Ben's view, it says Vader's power "matured", which doesn't immediately translate to "oh, he clearly grew more powerful".
The first quote is the only one from the three I could consider legit, but then again, it's referring to Mustafar Vader. It boils down to whether you believe Mustafar Vader was or wasn't hindered, which opens a whole new can of worms.
I would really appreciate it if someone could actually post all the quotes that state or at least suggest Vader > Anakin. Apart from these ones, I am only familiar with two that likely don't even refer to KF Vader.

Darth Thor
Yup and the second one (the canon one), is from Vaders point of view and speaking of his connection to the Force, which doesnt necessarily mean hes better in a Lightsaber fight given his injuries. And thats even if Vader is to be believed. He may just be fooling himself.

Freedon Nadd
xPRIMEx

Palpatine and other Sith Lords hold the idea that the Dark Side>Light Side. What Kenobi(and the book) said was just alluding to the fact of Anakin shifting more and more to the Dark Side of The Force.

Kenobi's statement was that both of them became legit Force masters.

Basically you want Dooku to become a coward that betrays his convictions on destroying the jedi order in a lame moment of desperation. Ultimately even in Death Dooku's goal ended up being fulfilled.

Snoke in the other hand thought he was so hot he wouldn't be betrayed. He never figured out he was outplayed which makes him seem naive. Alert Anakin who the mysterious Sith Lord they had been searching for. Even later in the film he turned him in.

The point was not whether he would believe him the point is to defend his life. He allowed his death to happen with no will to object.

Dooku did not want to die. He was betrayed and did not even offer any resistance with any of the intel he had. Would not be hard to convince Anakin through his knowledge to question Sidious. But he cucked which is a choice to allow someone to cheat. You not grasping cuckolding is a choice kind of says a lot about your cognitive acumen tbh.


Snoke was overconfident which I have always said but he never chose to allow it. Dooku did not object and was blatantly betrayed and just took it. Cucked to the bitter end.

Heres one in the ESB audio commentary from Lucas:

"He's lost a lot of power and a lot of potential to become more powerful than the Emperor"


Notice how he says Power AND Potential. So hes not just referring to potential. And this is as of Empire Strikes Back. Lucas still feels hes lost power that hasnt been regained by this point even.

That actually ends the debate, not that there should have ever been one, lmao. Anakin > Vader.

Can you direct me to where exactly in the ESB commentary he says this, and which one?

He lost the power and potential to become more powerful than peak Sidious, something he had, nothing indicates he's less powerful than pre suit Vader or Sidious, only that he lost his potential to becme more powerful than peak Sidious.

I concede but only in regards to ESB, you're right there. H

However ROTJ Vader is still fair game, especially given there is a quote that says he had never felt stronger.

Which is obviously highly subjective to bias, not to mention you're effectively arguing Vader's powers remained relatively consistent across his tenure of Dark Lord then suddenly skyrocketed the final six-to-eight months from "a lot" less powerful than Anakin to more powerful.

TenebrousWay
Yeah, the version that lost to a barely trained version of his perfect self is certainly more powerful than his fully trained perfect self...

How is the quote subjective to bias? Vader's powerrs were ever growing as per numerous sources so no, it wasn't consistent. Not to mention the fact that you seem to be forgetting that Vader was "engorged with his power" which implies a huger amount of growth.

1.Vader's inner self conflict wasn't something that just happened it was gradual over the course of ROTJ.

2.Vader's growth was literally explained in the quote we're discussing LMFAO.

3.I have officially reached LeGend level in my ability to phrase things LMFAO, cuase that did not come out the way it intended.

1.) Sure, but it's not until Luke's defiance against the Emperor does Vader realize that the dark side isn't infinitely more powerful than the light like Palpatine convinces his apprentices. Vader actively believes in both a.) the dark side's supremacy b.) that Anakin Skywalker was weak because of his emotional turmoil - after all, he lost to Obi-Wan. Both of these factors create a bias against Anakin.

That's not to mention the ROTJ novel implies that Vader actually suppressed a lot of his memories as Anakin, that Vader might not be considering Anakin as the same person as him (since he regards them as distinctively separate), and that it's rather ridiculous to assert that ROTJ Luke in one year progressed beyond his more prodigious father or Yoda.

2.) Just checked. Vader only feels engorged when his powers resonate with the Emperor's, thereby amping him, lmao.

Just so everyone is clear on the matter, I never agreed with Ant that Anakin > ESB Vader. More and more he's turning into AP.

HP Legend
Good. I can't wait to here your response to this. Should be interesting.

RealistRacism
Yeah he's not responding.
