Darth Vader versus Asajj Ventress

Calvin, speed had nothing to do with David killing Goliath. David won because of a better weapon and possibly divine intervention.

a slingshot is better than a giant club?

The big oaf (Goliath, Vader) loses to the more agile and quicker opponent(David, Assaj).

It wasn't a sling shot, it was just a sling, which can drive a rock five inches into your head from 20 yards is a lot better then a sword.

actually, it was a sling shot, if you've read the bible.

Not a modern sling shot. You have to think about back when it was written. This is more what David used:

which is essentially a sling shot when use in scale to a giant.

It has little to do with his speed though. There is no reason to compare it to this fight because the reason David won was because of a better weapon and possibly divine intervention. Speed had nothing to do with it.

Why does everyone think OT characters are so slow? They move rather fast, actually. Not as flashy as PT characters, but they can move their sabers as fast as OT characters.

That is true. I just watched the Empire Strikes Back and Vader and Luke moved pretty fast. Vader even moved fast enough to block Han's blaster with his hand and he even made it seem like nothing happened.
Vader would defeat Asajj.

5. What leads you to believe we are Asajj fanboys, we only think she would win, and are trying to prove our point.

Janus is an Asajj fanboy. Who do you think I'm a fanboy of (just curious)?

Exactly.

DS, I do not think Janus is an Asajj fanboy. He lacks the most important trait of a fanboy, lack of logic and proof to back up his claims. He's more of an anti-movie fanboy, which is understandable do to all of the anti-EU fanboys around that are a thousand times worse then he could ever be(not saying he is bad to begin with).

Okay, but he does tend to favor Asajj more than anyone else here.

Thank you, Glentract. I appreciate the insight.

And I am usually the only person saying Asajj has a chance in a fight. Perhaps I'm just impressed with her work since I managed to finish all of the Clone Wars novels, where she does some nice work and beats some opponents that I think could give Vader fits. I'm not gonna go off on a limb and say she pwns him inside of seconds, but I think she's better prepared and trained to fight OT Vader, than Luke was. And Luke, despite being weaker and less trained, was able to get a few hits in on Vader (Though when Vader was hacking and slashing like mad, Luke failed to take advantage of it, which leads me to believe that he is a truly poor fighter still in ESB.)

Maybe Asajj could beat him, but I doubt it. And about Vader, like I said before, we've never seen him actually fight for real so he very well could be able to beat Asajj.

All we know is from boks that don't mention how fast he is..

Does anyone understand that Vader didn't fake the first fight with Luke in ESB? Or was cutting off his Kids hand all part of his plan to save him? Vader was holding back on ROTJ, not ESB!

Um, Sorgo, Vader didn't want to kill his son. He was obviously holding back. If he wasn't holding back why didn't he kill Luke when he had his saber to his throat? He cut off his ahnd to end the duel. What else was he going to do? He had no choice, unless he wished for the fight to go on forever. he needed to end the duel so he could talk to Luke and try to tuen him to the Dark Side.

I think DS is right here Sorgo.
