A Decent Versus Thread...

I don't know? Last man standing in an arena of baddies?

Alright, make this one a three parter:

Part one takes our two heroes into a Geonosian colliseum. Making use only of thier melee skills and mobility, they must dispatch over a thousand flying, spear armed geonosians. First to dispatch his number will move on ahead of the other.

Part two involves snaring six gizka stowed away somewhere on the Death Star. The gizka cannot be harmed in any way, nor affected by the Force. The gizka must be moved to a docking bay near the equator, where they will be transported. The individual must then defend an attack from one entrance by a group of stormtroopers, who keep coming for five minutes. They are aiming for the gizka, and if one is hit, the Death Star blows up, taking the player with it. And note they are NOT in one single area initially, the gizka.

And the last trial involves being completely Forceless. Initially surrounded by five military guards holding vibroknives and batons, the players must get past. From there, they must elude capture as an entire base of similar guards gives chase. The base is a mile long, filled with a maze of corridors and hallways, deadends and security cameras.

So who's gonna not make it?

Hm, old link I forgot i had.

Shows the seven forms, and says its from Nick Gillard via Star Wars Insider. Have a peek.

Correction, says two other guys made it.

First match, when only using a lightsaber Yoda is going to defeat Exar Kun. He is more mobile and can move faster. Exar will probably take longer not being able to move as fast as Yoda would limit the amount of creatures he can take down. He will finish last but not by a lot.

Part two.

Now this test just sucks, Exar Kun and Yoda will both spend a shit load of time on this. I think Exar Kun will be faster, he's more likely to learn where the Gizka are by using some other technique then walking around. Yoda will take longer to find them. The defending part sucks for both, but they are both going to make it.

Part three.

Forceless, sneaking past the guards will be harder for Exar then for Yoda becuase of his size, but Exar can move a lot faster then Yoda who constantly uses his cane, especially when he finds himself without force powers. Exar Kun can probably go faster, unless Yoda finds something he can crawl through to the end of the base. Seeing as I don't think thats going to happen Exar is probably going to win this too. Simply because Yoda moves to slow.

Conclusion

Yoda 1
Exar 2

Yoda is out, Exar Kun is the winner.

i agree with fishy..except for that last one. i think Exar will just have to run it, which means getting into dead-ends, being found by security cameras constantly, and then probably having to fight the guards as they come.

however, Yoda would be able to find a ventilation shaft or something, and crawl around undetected, which at first may be slower, but not when he's by-passing dead-ends, the maze, and avoiding hundreds of guards.

i think Yoda wins this, and Exar's out.

Part one:
If they can just use their lightsaber skills, Yoda will be faster here than Kun since he moves faster and those Geonosians are pretty much unable to defend against a lightsaber (seen in AotC). So Yoda will finish first...not by far but still...

Part two:
Well...hard to say. But I think Yoda has a little advantage here because:
a) If the gizka can be sensed through the force I think Yoda will be able to find them faster because he simply cares more about living things than Exar - that is just a suggestion.
b) Even if Yoda and Exar are equaly good in sensing the gizka, Yoda will still be able to move faster than Exar because:

1) Yoda can sneak through the deathstar and do it fast where Kun has to fight some stormtroopers (if their are some)
2) Even if their are no troops Yoda will still move faster so he will have the gizka in the docking bay before Kun.

The group of stormtroopers is nearly a nonissue here. Kun and Yoda can both simply take them with sheer force power and those guys won't hit a gizka...hell...they can't even hit humans or Wookies from 5 metres range so a gizka will be impossible to hit for them.
This round goes to Yoda since he will have the gizka in the docking bay faster.

Last trial:
Completely forceless Yoda will probably need a lot more time here than Exar since he has to walk around with his cane. Exar might have to fight more guards (because of his size) but if Ulic can fight a Jedi into a standstill without having his force powers it should be no problem for Exar to kill some guards (same counts for Yoda). Still Exar will finish here first.

Conclusion:
Yoda still wins this because winning the first two tasks so Exar is out.

I disagree. If anything, it should be a factor of thought and personality that dictates the outcome of the second trial, not size and speed so much. Both can be very fast. We cannot directly compare them, but many people give props to Yoda simply because he went psycho in AOTC. I don't think that's indicative of his overall speed, seeing as when someone is running, they have to use their feet. And Yoda has to run about three times as much to keep pace with a youngling, nevermind Longshanks MacKun over here. And if you say he'll simply flip and run everywhere, that's ridiculous because even Yoda gets tired. He was winded after a short battle with Dooku, so obviously he is not in the best of shape. It's not like at 900 you're overly athletic. I designed these challenges to give both an equal shot, and it is damn close.

Janus is rolling again...

Where you see Yoda being Winded after the battle with Dooku ? He was tired because having to lift that thing up that Dooku threw at Obi-Wan and Anakin...not from the fighting or the movements.

He can keep up that jumping or master speed up for quite some time and as I said he might simply find those things faster than Kun because caring more about living creatures (if they are senseable through the force). If they can't be sensed through the force this task is a question of intelligence and while Kun might be smart he's not on Yoda's level - not to speak about "wisdom". And think of a Gizkas reaktion to somebody who makes the ground shake with his dark side powers... 😛

Yes, I do admit that much. Yoda would be less intimidating. But in this case, I don't think Yoda will be neccessarilly physically faster then the lanky Kun.

Well it's been a long long time that I've been gone but now I'm back and shedding tears over not being able to play risk (Please start up another round as soon as possible.) That all being said here's my picks:

Round 1
Yoda

He's much faster and more acrobatic then kun and speed is of the essence in this case, While kun is a very good swordsman possibly being able to beat yoda in a straight up duel he doesn't have the speed of his competitor.

Round 2
Yoda

he seems wiser and this is a competition of intelligence, he'll have no problem dealing with the storm troopers, he might struggle protecting the gizka only very very slightly as attaru isn't exactly the best at blaster deflect but exar isn't smart enough to pull this one off in my opinion.

Round 3
Exar

Exar is much more physically fit then yoda who is no more then an old cripple without the force, Exar would be able to deal with the guards around him and once armed he'd have no difficulty fighting his way through the base.

conclusion:I agree with nai yoda takes this.

Kun doesn't have speed? Hmmm....

Dude Kun is like an all star Olympic athlete! The dude is friggen powerful and is very physicly fit.

Look at this weak, slow guy... I bet he isn't even a Sith lord... Why, if I went by the general concensus, he is just three gizka stacked one atop another in a human suit.

Gizka? You're giving him too much credit, I'm willing to bet its 2 Ewoks atop each other.

No...sorry...Kun is powerful - so he's a Jawa on stilts !!!

Jawas on stilts. That is pwnage.

Jawa on stilts, why then, he'd be the most powerful force user in the universe!

Ragnos must be two Jawas rolled into one, and Sadow must be a Jawa with a taser!

Ragnos and Simus and sadow are all little jawa pyramids on stilts with really good special effects.
