Not really. In all honesty he could defeat one of those younglings in TCW though (maybe) lmao

The old Jedi Padawan that repeatedly got his ass kicked by mercenaries in melee combat. He got pissed and gathered like, dozens of ancient Sith artifacts and became a powerhouse, though.
That's a red herring on your part, since I never mentioned that duel. And it's not a bad showing for either Kylo or Finn, it's impressive for Kylo and it's just Finn being outmatched. That's like saying Dooku losing to Anakin is just a "bad showing for Dooku" not a "good showing for Anakin".
Also, lol at Kylo being a barely trained, unrefined mess. Though I suppose he was emotionally and physically a mess when he fought Finn, which makes it that much more impressive that he stomped him.
So the core of your arguments is: game mechanics and choreography, lmao.
This isn't your Imperial Stormtrooper or Republic Clone Trooper. This is the First Order Stormtrooper that shits on the former two.
Do you not comprehend there is a difference between fodder trained to shoot down droids, and supersoldiers trained from birth and taught in melee arts with training inspired by the Jedi Order? Is that so far outside your mental capacity?
So you're saying Finn could take on people like Rex, or Boss??
The Clones weren't just "taught to shoot down droids", they have just as much training as the First Order clones do, and they still got beat down, if anything, they have superior physicals to someone like Finn.
Yeah, it would be pretty effective...
...If they were Jedi.
A clone trained all his life, trained to perfection, would lose to someone like Zett Jukassa.
Teaching clones the ways of Jedi is stupid because they can't accurately use those arts in combat, they just don't have the speed, or the strength, to do so.
Based on what would they be physically superior to Finn? That's your arbitrary opinion, and is ultimately conjecture. Finn was taught in the Jedi-esque arts, and participated in grueling war simulations several times a day. The FO troopers were trained much, much more brutally than the Republic clones and would thus be more durable, stronger and faster.
They don't have a Jedi's augmentation or precognition, true... But that's why their training should, logically(you do know that word, right? Logic isn't a foreign concept to your cognition, I assume) be much more brutal and harder than the training of Stormtroopers or Clone Troopers, since they're trained in similar ways to Jedi, go through rigorous combat simulations daily, and are in an Order where the weak die and strong survive, who's training isn't overseen by a calm, compassionate Jedi, but by a blood thirsty Dark Sider and his commanders.
Lol, how could the clones have as much training was the First Order when they had accelerated aging and were being quickly produced? Compared to the FO Stormtroopers being trained since infancy in real time.
I'd think so. I was thinking more that he was a beast after he got his cheat-sheets and declared himself a Darth.
