Hi, greetings to all posters. It is my very first post here, though I’ve been viewing this forum for quite a while. Anyways, here are the conditions for the gauntlet.
Setting: Geonosis Arena.
Both Vader and Caedus are in their respective primes.
They have one hour rest between each battle.
Can they make it?
1. 50 Battle Droids
2. 50. Stormtroopers
3. 50. Magna Guards
4. 20 Droidekas
5. Maul, Ventress and Grievious
6. Fisto, Kolar and Tiin
7. ROTS Anakin, ROTS Obi-Wan, Jango Fett and Boba Fett
8. Galen, Kota and Shaak Ti
9. ROTS Sidious and ROTS Dooku
10. ROTS Yoda and ROTS Mace

Both these guys have an incredible pain threshold, and their endurance is MIGHTY like Thor's Hammer!
8 they may start slowing down, 9 will be big trouble for them. They might lose someone, probably Vader. 10, with Yoda's awesomeness and Mace's Vaapad, they (or the survivor) would likely die.

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I'm thinking too, though I also believe they may get killed at 9.
At 8 Galen will give hell whoever fights him, but ultimately the one who finishes off Kota and Shaak Ti will help the other overwhelm Galen.
But with 9 it’s harder to tell. Sidious is superior to both of them. Dooku is better in sabers than Vader, and probably has the edge on Caedus as well. Also the count is no slouch in the force department (called one of the greatest sith lords ever). If Sidious kills Vader before Caedus finishes off Dooku, he will help his apprentice kill Caedus, if not, the team takes it, but barely.
Yeah and they definitely go down at 10.

Please Darth Daniel, elaborate on 8. I think either Caedus or Vader can toss aside Kota and Shaak Ti with relative ease, while the other battles Galen. I just don’t see how they could lose this one.

Galen (as a Lightsider) legitimately defeated Vader. He's no push over, and there's a fair chance he could do it again. Kota's nothing uber, but Shaak Ti could be a nuisance. Vader, hopefully NOT being a blockhead, might let Caedus deal with Marek while he goes after the other two. The Sith would win, but it's not a "1-2-3 Dead". Vader (or even Caedus) could wind up with quite an injury at Marek's hands.

This is a VERY good gauntlet. I'm impressed. I am going to have to say though: If this is an arena setting, they might lose at 2. That is a LOT of blaster bolts to have to account for.
Saying they clear 2: They are going to hit 3. FIFTY Magnaguards people? That is 25 apiece. I am thinking someone dies there.
4 can be cleared using the force, but don't forget Luke and Mara's difficulty and QGJ and kenobi's difficulty with respectively 1 and 2 droidekas each. They aren't to be trifled with.
In a straight fight, they beat 7, but I'm thinking they have lost someone by then,so it might end ther.
8 is easier than 7
No way they clear 9. Maybe if it was as straight fight. Not at the tail end of a gauntlet.
Perhaps would clear 10 if a straight fight, but they wont get there on this list.
I think that with they uber TKs they can do it, but it would be difficult, of course.
I know many characters struggle with Magna Guards, but I also took into consideration Shaak Ti's showing friom CWC and Asoka' showing (she was beating 2,3 ?), so someone as powerful as Vader or Caedus has a good chance to take them down.

I was thinking deflection with sabers, deflection with hands/Force and neutralization with b*tchin' TK would down the troopers. TK on the Magnaguards too. Unless of course Grievous installed them with anti-Force generators.
F*ck, only a matter of time til those exist in the mythos.

I feel I must stress that Vader and Caedus would have absolutely no problem dealing with any of the droids. Yoda used the force to take out a whole army of Droidekas and some people actually place Caedus above Yoda, and even if he isn't better then Yoda, he has his grandpa helping him and together, they would use their combined mastery of the force to DECIMATE the Droidekas. As for Grievous's bodygaurds, come now, Shaak Ti was holding her ground against well over 20, so I'm pretty sure that Vader and Caedus wouldn't have any problem with that either.
