Just as Yoda has a hard time walking with a cane due to old age. He did not have to melee fight since his powers were adequate for his defense. At no point did he deploy his guards when she became aggressive. He waved them off.
Yes, Sidious can fight in melee and there is no evidence Snoke can but there is none he cannot draw upon the force to amp his physical deficiencies like yoda has.
Sidious felt confident in that situation in dismissing them due to his manipulation and Vader being there in defense of him. We see Vader block a saber strike that would have most likely killed him. So in a situation that was not under his control against overwhelming odds he would deploy his guards just like any other intelligent leader when they believed their life was in jeopardy.
We is you and I. Presumably you are talking to me because it benefits you in some way. I agree, if I didn't know anything about Star Wars I would do well to read up on it if I plan to continue posting on an esteemed Star Wars debating forum such as KMC.
You are not obligated to acknowledge my posterior, no. Was there anything else you needed help clarifying? Finally, an argument worth listening to. I find myself agreeing with "ares834" on this matter.
I didn't ask the question to substantiate his point, I asked the question because I was wondering if Sheev ever threw them at his enemies instead of engaging himself. Your point seemed the most relevant to that topic.
I don't think he's feigning weakness (unless we go into his powers being a secret topic), but I don't think he needs them for personal protection. Them existing isn't a reflection on Sheev's personal power, or an inability on his part. Snoke would have more use for them in that aspect.
Because we've seen Sheev directly engage in solo threats without Guards against beings that would decimate his Guards. Even in the gif Quan posted, Yoda defeated Sheev's guards with a wrist flick while Sheev fought evenly or close against Yoda in close quarters combat and with the Force.
And he doesn't need them to protect him, obviously, that's what I mean. Anyone who actually presents a threat to Sheev would obliterate the Guard, but that doesn't mean he has to deal with every threat personally. We have seen them try and filter out people like Doctor Aphra and they are uber trained. In that sense they are essentially bouncers. I'm not sure if Disney has turned them into Assassins yet, but that is a possible use as well.
Very possible, I never said otherwise. However you can't deny that Snoke's Guards are better equipped to protect him than Sheev's are. In terms of combat, Snoke's Guards are created to shell up a potential weakness of his, whereas Sheev's are useless (in comparison) as he has no weaknesses in a certain area. So when you bring up the Guard angle, it's more relevant to Snoke than Sheev and you can't simply red herring the attention away from Snoke by mentioning Sheev, is all.
I swear there's a quote out there basically saying the same thing, but I don't have it, so I'm not going to say it 100 percent exists.
Gaylad might have it though. If he doesn't have it, then I dunno.
Things would be so much easier if SW content was as easy to find as comics. It's easier to read through 100 comics to find two words than to find dl links for random books. But that's the pirate life for me, and may be the reason I never jumped head first into this Star Wars fad.
It doesn't matter. Also we don't have anything on their training in Canon, other than out of the millions of troops that they were the most skilled. Trained in various forms of combat.
But it's freaking Yoda, so....either way he wouldn't have any issues.
Eh, are people really trying to pretend like Palpatine...f*cking Palpatine...'needed' the Royal Guards to do his melee fighting for him, like Snoke did? Jesus christ.

Vader needs his suit to live, lol. I gave my opinion so just accept it. It will not change but I will not argue Snoke uses a saber in a versus until I see evidence. I am extremely consistent.
Pretty easy because there’s hardly any wh can do that.
Yes I already stated Sidious/Yoda can do that to Maul level opponents.
We already know he cant get into physical confrontations. This whole debate is how powerful can he be with TK and FL alone. Even assuming his TK and FL were Sidious level (highly improbable but lets speculate for a second), even then we know that without being able to engage in High Level Lightsaber combat Windu would whoop his butt. Vader almost certainly would. And I suggest Dooku would as well.

Of course since he cannot fight if he is dead. Must I really hold your hand? Both physically are old and cannot demonstrate normal gait on their own. You are free to disagree but yoda looks like a hobbies old hunchbag when he does not use the force. My opinion will not change and my reasoning is sound. Feel free to disagree but you thought Rey was going to own Snoke so it is safe to see you are out of touch with Disney Star Wars.
