Mace Windu vs. General Grievous

Well, Mace was getting the better of him, and Palpatine used it to his advantage as Anakin came in.

I think palpy just toys with mace, because he wants anakin to kill him.

Possibly, but from the way the novel makes it look, Mace was doing incredibly well, considering Sidious is Sidious and all

I agree. It says something about how Mace would have prevailed as he found Palpatine's shatterpoint (that's his talent; he can see critical weaknesses). The only reason he lost is because he didn't think to look for Anakin's.

Going back to Grievous, one of his abilities is that he can analyse his foe's fighting style and devise appropriate counters. He still lost.

Mace would clean house with General Grievous

Pretty much.

Yeah, he'd slice off every arm, and then beat him with his bad mother f*cker wallet

this is how I see it. in the clone wars cartoon, Grievous' organs are all encased in some kind of metal and set into a somewhat natural position, then surounded by a metal chest tank with som movable ribs. in chapter 25, mace crushes the bottom of it, probably causing some internal bleeding resulting in some coughing and weakness. sometime before anakin and obi-wan reach the opening space battle. Grievous gets some emergency surgery wherein his organs are put in some kind of fluid (bacta?) and are then mounted in a tank that takes up much more space and makes him less flexible. He still coughes and weezes indicating that this is a temporary solution that is never corrected.
In a future encounter, Mace would just crush the transparasteel tank, eviscerating him immediately.

impressive.

most impressive

but you are not a jedi yet

Actually says:
"Easily, almost effortlessly, he turned the shadow's fear into a weapon: He angled the battle to bring both out onto the window ledge."

Before that it said:
"The fighting was effortless for him now. he let his body handle it without intervention from his mind."

grievous never did anything to be on par with the top 2 tiers of ROTS.
(Mace, Yoda, Kenobi, Sidious, Anakin, Dooku) etc.

also, i'd like to add that the entire fight between Windu and Sidious was actually narrarated from the omnipotent narrator viewpoint. I had always thought it was from Windu's.

So when it speaks about the ease with which Windu was winning near the end, it means it was actually easy, not just apparently easy.

Windu.

He's far more powerful than Grievous. He's also a better duelist. He won't have the distinct advantage of Vapaad here but he also doesn't have to counter Force moves.

Digging for fossils is sooo much fun.

you realize it was his first post ever, and it was from 2005?

Its interesting. We wouldn't want a repeat thread of that either... but we don't want a thread from 2005. (i didn't even notice it was from then when i posted)

What's a newbie to do?

You refering to Darth misquito? If so, then his first post was yesterday, not 2005.

VR... I meant his first post ever was in a thread from 2005. I laughed at that.

Well said Jello.

Is it normal that people respond to people who posted 4 years ago?

i Don't look to see when they were posted... it was a good comment. So I told him so.
