So a Vapaad user will always be either equal to or superior to any DS user?
I did say I might be wrong about this, as long as the Vaapad user can control him/her self. Aka, Mace. I guess that is the case, however I don't know if theres a limit.

Yeah that is what I beleive as well. I thought Red was saying it could loop a Lightsider.

I seem to recall in the RotS novelization that it says that Mace's fight against Palps was beyond Vaapad, and his superconducting loop was pushed to its limit. I don't have the book on me right now so I don't have the quotes, I'll post them up a bit later whn I can find my book.

"You're the chosen one, Anakin," Mace said, his voice going thin with strain. This was beyond Vaapad; he had no strength left to fight against his own blade. "Take him. It's your destiny.'" -From the Novel. Maybe it was just the Force of his lightning since Mace was handling himself before that.

What do you guys think of starting two "official" stickied threads based on force power and saber skills, to give everyone a gauge on each characters abilities? It could include everyone and anyone that uses a lightsaber or the force.

That would have to allow for fluctuating power levels and etcetera. Though it would mean that we wouldn't be able to complain about unknowns as much sad

this is kinda like the end of Project Holocron where I'm (still kinda currently) listing every feat of the force, or in combat for each character. Right now, school is kicking my butt, but i'll get back to it eventually. Helping was not forbidden!

Thanks, I checked it out. What I was thinking of however was more of a ranking system. For the lightsaber skills thread for example, you could have a ranking system from 1-20, with a predetermined amount of fact based votes deciding each character's "official" skill rating.

Which forum do you guys think would be best for such a thread?

What's up with all this confusion about Vaapad?

See, - represents the Dark Side and + represents the Light Side. The Vaapad user automatically has his own - to use through Vaapad, but when it comes to opponents, he can use this loop against a - guy while he can't use it against a + guy because he doesn't channel the + guy his peace and passive emotions, he does however channel the - guy his rage and fury. Thus, Vaapad is more effective against - than +.

Mace can beat Sidious, but he can't beat Yoda.

But doesn't that kinda destroy the idea of creating Versus threads, when you already know what rank every character has.

I still want to read Red's new thesis about Vaapad though, as he claims I'm wrong about Vaapad being less effective against lightsiders than darksiders.

No, debates could still be made in the versus forum, it would just be a "what the community thinks" as a whole thread, so that maybe there wouldn't be quite so many spite/illogical threads. Plus I would think most people would find such a thread quite interesting and informative.

The only idea I can think of is that he imagines the SCL works on Lightsiders as well which it doesn't. Else I don't have any idea what he means.

THis ranking thread would definitly not settle anything, since we would never agree on the rankings. Ever.

So it would just turn into more lists of "the most powerful" in whatever category.

This is pretty much what's taken as "common knowledge."
