About the matches...
Keep them Star Wars related.
Matches between non-SW characters will be closed.
Just post battles here.
This is a "versus" forum. A forum dedicated to Star Wars character matches. Any thread about anything but a match, will get closed.
Maximum number of contenders
Let's keep it maximum 3 versus 3, with the exception of teams. More than 2 characters in a match is hard to discuss, threads like that often dissappear in 2 days, imagine 8 or 10 characters involved...
(Now, in some cases, an exception or two might be made with some threads. It's usually a judgement call on the moderator's part. But, of course, if a thread has like 25+ characters, it WILL be closed. NO exceptions)
Not really. When there're five other combatants, you're going to want to worry about hitting as many of them as hard and as fast as you can. This is where Force Power and Sith Magic come in. Ragnos and Sadow have these in plenty, especially the former.
Oh yeah. Tulak is the best lightsaber duelist of the Sith Order. Doesn't say anything about swords. Although I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and have him up as the best duelist there.
i know it doesn't say anything about swords nut i think that generally lightsabers are better than swords with the exception of Ajunta Pall's sword. And as to hitting people as fast and strong as possible i do not believe that the force and sith magic are magor factors but more speed and technique.

If Sith swords were inferior to lightsabers, how come Naga Sadow didn't use stolen lightsabers during the Great Hyperspace War? Probably because the lightsaber back then had a cord attached to an energy pack and it was not good for much.
You think that skill and technique with a cutting flashlight are gonna do jack against an eight-foot tall dude with a sixty inch chest, thirty-inch arms, and is arguably capable of blowing up stars? Didn't think so.
yo think of ragnos as invincible but the facy is he isn't. If he tried to use sith magic or force powers, for that brief moment he will be completely defenceless. As for throwing stars its not a quick routine. It probably takes at least a few hours. And who says height matters look at yoda.
size is not in fact a help but a drawback as it is harder to defend youeself when you are big then when you are small as there is more space to be hit. And the fact that ragnos is so big probably makes him quite slow.

1- Never said Ragnos was invincible
2- Sith magic includes dark side powers. They are the same. And considering how immense his power must have been to dominate the Sith Empire for over a century, I'm sure he can mess people up without exposing himself too much. Don't forget he was smart enough to live through that whole time period.
3- Throwing stars? Not mentioned.
4- Height does matter when you have someone huge bringing down a sword on you against your weightless lightsaber.
When Ragnos is considered everything matters, he will not fail in this fight or any other. The only one that has a chance against him is Pall and thats only because I recently started to admire his power as a ghost even 20.000 years after he died, but even that means nothing. Ragnos wins this by every bit of logic I can think off.
You're missing the entire point. He's not invincible, but he's pretty damn close. You think that because a lightsaber is advanced technology, and because Tulak is the best with that weapon, that he can take everyone. Nah-ah. I don't think you know as much as you think about Ragnos. . .
I was implying that size matters, but that Ragnos isn't someone to be defeated by a saber with eas as you say. Tell me; how much Sith Magic can you put into a lightsaber? None. A Sith Sword? A hell of a lot. Ragnos can do a lot with his sword other than swing it around and batter people.
Sith Magic, as in Lightning and other Force powers, many of which are unheard of in power, or at all. You seem to think it's like a long spell or something. It's a moment of focus, followed by a hell of a blast of Force Power.
Edit: Last thing. Blowing up a star doesn't take hours. It takes seconds just to cause half of it to erupt in solar flares. Naga Sadow just raise his hand, closes it into a fist, and bam, all his enemies gone.
