Ah, the complex nature of logical fallacies. LeGenD's discrediting of Rayla () due to her past false attribution (which is a fallacy) is a fallacy, Rayla's insults to LeGenD's beliefs for alleged bias is bulverism, and there's just ad hominem all around. I've probably committed one or two myself in this thread. Kind of a random thought, but after studying them, (though not as in depth as I'd like,) it's hard to ignore how often they're commited.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: its harder to be objective than I thought, Gideon.

How long is that joke going to continue? If I wanted to I could call you a Sinious sock but that would be equally absurd. Friendly advice: logical fallacies are exceptionally common and happen regardless of one's observation. When it comes to the likes of LeGenD however 'fallacy' doesn't quite cover it. I would think complete lack of objectivity would be more suitable as logical fallacies are but a symptom of his unfathomable bias.

Quite the opposite, LeGenD is the one whom continuously insults and wall of texts me(and plenty others) for daring to believe that Count Dooku and Darth Maul are superior opponents to generic Lords of the Sith Empire.
If I am to be heckled for not putting up with his insults to common sense then so be it.

Please don't act like you guys aren't going back and forth in every second thread. It's pretty fun to read when you aren't doing anything. You guys are like a daily source of entertainment at times.

Not intentionally, I believe he does so because I assert that *Insert other era character here* > *Insert TOR era character here*. This of course means I need to be educated about SWTOR related characters and must sit through his pages of generic irrelevant encyclopedic hype.

The third major lightsaber discipline was first developed in response to the advancement of blaster technology in the galaxy. As these weapons spread wildly into the hands of evil doers, Jedi had to develop unique means for defending themselves. Form III that arose from "laserblast" deflection training. Over the centuries, it has transcended this origin to become a highly refined expression of non-aggressive Jedi philosophy.
Taken from Fightsaber
Form I represents standard Jedi martial arts or balanced combat philosophy and its simplicity is a strength in itself.
I didn't realize that Harvard encouraged people to post mostly unsubstantiated bullshit, exaggerate stuff, and rely mostly on memory then actual references to formulate arguments, till now. This sums up your debating history that I have witnessed so far.
Also, whenever you mention a name, do not forget to use capital for the starting letter. Names should be distinguished from normal words. Harvard did not teach you even basic English writing skills?
I don't get the reason for your aggression and superiority complex with such shameful record. Again, you should refrain from personal attacks in your responses for your own good.

Is Golden Age supposed to imply something? Kindly elaborate with information from relevant citations.
When it comes to competitiveness, terms such as Golden Age do not carry much weight, per my understanding; the Golden Age of Sith is proof of my position in this regard.
I do not deny progress in refinement of dueling forms such as Form V and Form VII with passage of time but it would be a stretch to assume that ancient masters of lightsaber dueling arts would not be able to compete with and/or outduel PT/OT era masters of lightsaber dueling arts in a serious duel. As I pointed out earlier, effectiveness of a Jedi in combat situation is dependent upon multiple factors and not just on proficiency in lightsaber dueling arts. I don't feel the need to repeat this point again and again. Any fan, who is well-informed about the lore, would understand my point.
Once again, as an example, Revan is not complemented for his proficiency in lightsaber dueling arts but he effortlessly out-dueled a master swordsman (i.e. Imperial Guard) in one of his documented martial confrontations. Revan's exceptional precognitive abilities and impressive speed made the difference; in short, Revan's ability to use the Force. And mindset.
Luke Skywalker "arguably" has the best dueling ability. Understand? When you make a bold assertion such as this one, make a habit to offer evidence as well.
Luke have rivals in Darth Caedus, Yoda, HoT, and perhaps Tulak Hord. Perhaps even more.
Darth Malgus have some well-documented dueling feats. And I haven't seen better from PT era duelists. Enlighten me, if I am wrong.

I wouldn't say Revan is a better duelist, but I wouldn't go as far as saying he gets beaten by her easily. If she is indeed better and does win, it would probably still be a lengthy and torturous duel. Revan's no pushover in any aspect of his game.
