quinlan vos vs. qui-gon

who fares better?

Qui-Gon would get owned.

Really? I'd say Qui-gon would do quite well against him, but I think I am almost a fanboy for Qui-gon(as he was the guy who got me interested in SW, other than my Uncle and Cousin. I wish my uncle could have some here and wasted all of you in knowledge of SW. Owell. I'm getting sad just thinking about him.)

But personal feelings aside(at least as far aside as I can put them), Qui-gon gives Vos a tough fight. Qui-gon was a respected Jedi Master. He also was a major player in the Stark Hyperspace War. You know his accomplishments.

Quinlan.

Qui-Gon also sucked at saber combat, as is evident in TPM and got owned.

He sucked compared to Mace, but look at Vos; Mace wasted him in a second.

Mace beat Vos? I must start reading the comics.

ya. They were sparring and then Vos used some of Vapaad the Sora had showed him and Mace wasted him in less than a second.

Vos used Vaapd? hmm.. l

Qui GOn was a worse duelist.. true, and he always tired fairly quickly, but we at least saw Jiin fight a good fight with a sith lord, while Vos only killed sora bulq. Which IMO is nothing compared to Maul. So this is a balanced fight.. good thread.

Well, it likely wouldn't last much longer than Jinn's solo against Maul.

maybe... I dont think Vos would fair well against darth Maul, but niether did Jiin, umm

I need to hear other opinions..

Vos would defeat Maul, no doubt. He slew Sora Bulq. He defeated K'Kruhk, the massive Whipid Jedi Master by literally body slamming him onto an airbus. Quinlan would positively wreck Jinn. The latter may get a couple of physical attacks in, but nothing nearly enough to turn the tide.

Agreed.

You know, over 95% of fights are over in less than a minute according to my Taekwondo teacher. That fight lasted more than that, I believe, so really, Qui-gon didn't do horrible.

Qui-gon was also able to do a good job against Mace in sparring matches. Mace knocked Vos out in a second. Sure, Mace never went full against Qui-gon, but he didn't seem to go full against Vos either.

Qui-Gon didn't do horrible, but he also lost pretty bad at the end of the fight. His age caught up with him and he got owned (for lack of a better term). Comparing Taekwondo and a Lightsaber Duel from Star Wars is kind of a stretch, don't ya think? I mean, you really cannot compare the two. Plus, if GL had made the "Duel of the Fates" less than a minute, than it would have sucked pretty bad. Quinlan Vos has a much larger/more impressive list of accomplishment and feats than Qui-Gon. Not to mention he's had a ton more experience dueling (read Star Wars: Republic, which you may have already), and he's much younger than Mr. Jinn.

It would be neat to see a duel with two single, green sabers though. 😉

Qui-Gon would get thrown in a classroom by Vos and get schooled.
Make no mistake about it.

I'm talking about sword fighting in Taewkondo. It also doesn't matter why Duel of the Fates wasn't that short, it matters how long it actually was.

No, you're wrong. Qui Gon would get...

I still stick to my remaining argument. 😉

well, when you consider that Maul never really attacked Qui-gon, just defended, it actually gives props to Maul for being able to defend that long against those odds, not Qui Gon.
