Darth Sion vs Yoda

Started by kamikz6 pages

What is this weakness then? How would Yoda exploit it?

Well my only real knowledge of Sion is from the KOTOR2 game, I have no idea if he has appeared in any other forms of EU, but in that you basically cannot beat him physically, everytime you strike him down he gets back up (and its not even that hard to knock him down), instead you use persuasion techniques and make him question his beliefs until he basically gives up. Which to me seems right up Yoda's street, like when he absorbed Dooku's lightning like it was nothing and told him he had much to learn, he'd just keep doing and saying things along those lines, messing with Sion's head with persuasion powers, and telling him his faith in the Darkside is misplaced and he'd just give up. It might not be quite that easy, but Yoda would win, he has to much experience, wisdom and power.

That wouldnt work sion isnt stupid hed just keep getting angryer and would become more powerful

Oh yeah cause that didn't work in KoToR2

No it didn't. Sion lost because of Kreia and her love for the Exile. There are three people out there that could destroy Sion his will. One did, the other was his master and the third is somebody whose existence we can not even verify during Kotor II.

Yoda could never break Sion his will

You'll have to correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't played KOTOR2 in a while, but I don't recall it being said that only the Exile, Kreia, and Revan were the only ones who could defeat him. I also don't believe the only way to break Sion's will was through Kreia, it seemed to me to be more about making him question his devotion to the Darkside, and his own power, I'll have to go through it again to remember the exact dialogue from the fight (unless someone knows it off by heart and wants to post it here).

Regardless, I don't see Yoda losing. Sion wasn't a difficult opponent to beat in the game, as soon as you realise what kind of things you need to say its simple, I don't think I ever lost to him in any encounter.

You are wrong 😛

Throughout the entire time you are takling to him, you are talking about how Kreia loves you more and how he is nothing. Sion loses because of that and because he realises it is true.

Seeing as his entire will to live depends on what Kreia thinks its kinda obvious that she could also destroy his will. And if you have listened to Kreia when she spoke about Revan and the hatred in Sion his voice when he spoke about her first... Well its obvious that Revan could do the same. Others have nothing on Sion, he has no reason to live except for Kreia... Strange as it might be. If you have nothing on Kreia you have nothing on Sion and therefor you can not destroy his will.

Yoda beating him however is still very possible if you ask me.

I guess we are interpreting things a little differently. Like you point you you're making him believe he is nothing and not as powerful as he believes, you do that by talking about how Kreia has chosen you but I think the principal remains that you are making him question himself, I think Sion can be defeated in a similar way even without knowledge of Kreia. You have to make him question his power which erodes his will, and I think Yoda could do that. But, to each their own, I don't think Sion is invincible to all but the 3 you mention, we'll just have to disagree 😮‍💨

I doubt Yoda would break his will.

He lost because of what Fishy said, Kreia. You can't just simply say "Sion, your life is shit, why don't you give up and the pain will be over". He gave up because he had no reason to live anymore and there is no way Yoda could exploit that.

Also, Sion is a very good swordsman and also strong with the force and force powers. Even though Yoda is stronger in both he will have some difficult with deflecting the force powers and then getting some hits on him. And I don't think he will realise directly when he hits him the first time that he is nearly invincible, but instead keep fighting. Yoda can't hold on forever.

The only way Yoda could win is by knocking him out but I can't see that happend really.

Kamikz is right, he only has one reason to live... Yoda doesn't have anything on Sion.

Yoda is about several hundred times stronger than Sion with a talent for CRUSHING evil people's wills. Ever read Dark Rendevous?

Yoda takes this. One little glimpse into Sion using the force, a few choice words and Sion crumpling to the floor. Yoda's much brighter than the Exile, much more eloquent and much stronger....either that, or Sion'd be sliced into several dozen pieces

I surely hope this is a joke.

Everyone acts like Sion has an easily bruised ego. Nonsense. Now, stop blowing smoke up everyone's collective ass with this Yoda pwnz teh noobs crap.

"Sliced up into several dozen pieces." !?

WTF?

Sion in invincible.

By what? KOTOR's gameplay mechanics when it takes five hits to slice through a kinrath?

You wouldn't think Dooku had a bruised ego either....Yoda tends to take people down rather easily. Sion was hardly that strong to begin with.

I half agree with Lightsnake on this one. I don't think that Yoda would stand a chance of breaking Sion's will, if only because he has no prior relationship with him. However, he is more than Sion's equal in lightsaber or force abilities. So it all comes down to how much dmg can Sion take. If he is cut up into numerous separated pieces, can he pull himself back together? I just don't know.

A fair enough answer. As it stands, we don't know enough. It seems implied that he can take a great deal of damage and still keep kicking, but it's unproven.

Just don't associate yourself too much with Lightsnake; he's the biggest fanboy I have ever seen.

PWned knows me VERY well from another board, my dear Guardian. You may want to check out your arguments by the by. When you can deal with official sources, lemme know

I do know you lightsnake, I know you're very knowlegable, very methodic, and I know you can be really cool. Alas, I also know you can get a little carried away. All I'm asking is that you pull it back a bit. Flame only after being flamed upon, just remember that winning a debate is fun, but winning with a smile on your face is even better.

I haven't seen any official sources, Lightsnake. Just you strutting around here like you're royalty and not proving a damn thing.

sion could have more than one weakness: When Yoda finds the right topic, even on the futility of the Dark Side like he did with Dooku in Dark Rendevous? Bam, nailed...ever seen a Dark Side Yoda? Terrifying prospect
