Sora Bulq vs. Depa Billaba

Both are Vaapad-practioneers. I'll give this to Sora Bulq

I'd also say Sora. Both have fought Mace. Mace beat Sora and coukld have beat Depa as well but didn't because she used to be his Padawan and he didn't want to hurt her. Both are Vaapad users. Depa is very strong and a Jedi Master but she wasn't standing in the circle of Jedi in Geonosis and Sora is said to be one of the strongest Jedi, maybe even the strongest after Yoda and Mace (at the time of AOTC anyway). I'd say Sora.

She was in a coma. She couldn't be in the Battle of Geonosis. She turned to the dark side.

Well, Vaapad would be useless in this battle, since they're both Jedi. What I know of Depa is she was Mace's padawan and was overcome with the darkness of Vaapad. Sora was a legendary lightsaber instructor and one of the finest swordsman the Order had seen. Though he was overcome by Vaapad as well, I think he gets this.

you're wrong. She was looking after the younglings in that battle.

You don't know nothing, Dark Thor! Who said she was doing that?

Teaching the younglings? Yeah right!

Mace Windu used it against Sidious and did an alright job with it.

But Sora because hes a reknown Jedi fighter.

Exactly, Vaapad is best used against Dark-Siders. Sora Bulq was a legendary lightsaber instructor and one of the finest swordsman the Order has ever known. Depa was Mace's apprentice, and was a Council Member. I know little to nothing of Depa's combat skills, but I doubt she can hang with Sora for more than ten minutes in a duel.

There is no evidence to support this. Vaapad is according to Nick Gillard "flirting with the Dark Side".

Most of you have probably heard my theory on why Mace was able to use Vapaad so effectivly against Sidious, but let me say it again. This is actually the second theory I developed on it, and I think it is the more likly one.

Sidious clouded himself in the darkside. This made it very difficult to be seen as was shown when he was able to avoid detection for so long. I also believe this was why he was able to defeat the three Jedi in ROTS so easily. The were unable to see him with the force; instead having to use their eyes, something they had been trained not to do. Mace, using Vapaad, was able to see through this shrowd. Sidious didn't cloud the dark side, so Mace, when using Vapaad, had no difficulty seeing him. When he was not using Vapaad, he once again drew upon the Lightside, making Sidious invisible to him again. Yoda was able to overcome this, probably by using his eyes, since he had fought dark Jedi in the past. These dark Jedi in the past would not have been as shrouded as Sidious, allowing Jedi to see them if they knew who they were and they probably recieved special training that was phased out when the Sith became "extinct". The Jedi probably still included this training for a time, maybe three hundred years or so, allowing Yoda to recieve this training as a padawon; he therefor would not know higher forms of this technique, but he had something he could work with, and it allowed him to fight Sidious, even if he was impaired.

If you think that is a bunch of BS, please tell me, but give good reasons, not just because you don't like it.

Back on topic, Sora was a dark jedi, so even if you don't believe in my theory, but you think what I once did about Vapaad users being better against Darksiders, then they would both become better, negating the effects. My opinion on this fight though, Depa wins. She is just overall better in my eyes.

Vaapad is NOT strong against darksiders. Get it right. And Depa was not at Geonosis unless I missed her in the movie, which I wouldn't doubt. And she was not in a coma until about six months into the Clone Wars. To my knowledge, she never recovered.

Janus, you think anything good of my theory?

Actually she was, back at the Temple. Either that, or out on a mission. It's better than your lame put-downs and meager excuses. She wasn't induced into a coma until, as Janus said, six months or so into the Clone Wars. You know. AFTER AOTC.

vaapad is not using the darkside...it's close to it. it's a fighting style that requires a mental state very close to the dark side. the ability to use Vaapad and not turn requires a great commitment to the light side, and the Code.

Vaapad is it's own style, simply that it resembles a Sith mind set and perhaps fighting style because it's so aggressive. you can use it against droids, or people, or Sith, obviously. it's not like...a flashlight that needs Sith for a battery.

It simply uses dark, basic, primal emotions, such as anger and the desire to win in a duel, so that the Jedi can truly be unleashed.

your theory sucked glentracy just like your kournal on ajunta pall

You, my fool of a member, are going to learn to hold your tongue and mind your manners, or find your way on the next boat outta here. You're off to a horrible start as it is; don't make things worse for yourself, although with grammar and spelling skills like that, it's gonna be damn hard.

faunus you dont get it do you, tommy v is back *****

Ahah. . . the little bastard with the attitude. I knew there was a resemblance. The username fit for a gay stripper helps, too. No matter; you'll be gone soon enough when Ush comes along.
