Tulak Hord vs Yoda

For those of you who don't know Tulak was an ancient Sith Lord, arguably the best duelist ever known.

Lets say this is duel takes place in the Dune Sea of Tatooine.

During one of his kung fu flips, Yoda gets sand in his eyes; rendering him incapable of fighting. Hord wins.

One does not need eyes to fight! Just look at Jerec or Kreia.

Tulak should be the superior swordsman here.

Tulak takes yoda, def in a lightsaber duel and most likely in a lightsaber + force duel

I would say Tulak, but apparantly it can be doubted if he even know how to really use a lightsaber so i'm going to say we have no prove

We can't really say, but If Tulak lives up to his reputation then he should WTFpwn Yoda into smithereens.

Or not, since what we know about him is inconclusive - Best lightsaber user of the Ancient Sith, when all the others even until the end of the Golden Age used Sith Swords?

Impossible to judge, really.

He was the dark lord of the Sith, he would still have been better with a lightsaber then any of them were with Sith Swords.

Though we don't know enough about Tulak Hord, he must have been comparable to Marka Ragnos and Naga Sadow simply because his tomb was one of the 5 shown on Korriban (the tombs of Naga Sadow, Marka Ragnos, Ludo Kressh and Ajunta Pall were also shown) and was one of the largest in the valley of the dark lords.

Lightsabers are clearly superior to sith swords. The only reason that uber sith like Ragnos and Sadow didn't use them was because they probably didn't have the knowledge to make them.

WTF? Their warswords could be enhanced with Sith alchemy and magic to the point where they can withstand lightsabers, as well as radiate dark energies.

You see Kressh and Sadow each holding massive warswords, and swining them so quickly they leave residual energy in their wake. No, I'd say that a good swordsman could handle a lightsaber-duelist fairly well.

There is no way to tell how fast the sword is actually going (the energy could be from the power of the sword for instance) yet the nature of the sword tells us it is not as fast as a lightsaber. The lightsaber is virtually weightless and yet is undoubtedly more powerful than a sith sword. It is also probably much more tiring fighting with a sith sword. I actually think that it is likely that Tulak Hord was the most powerful sith lord ever.

If TOTJ comics are like that, thank god I didn't waste money on them.

Tulak Hord the greatest? Phfft, I doubt he would be able to stand against a Sith sword.

There is no evidence for him being the most powerful he was powerful sure but the most powerful?

And a lightsaber is useful in the hands of physically weak people like Jedi and Sith of later ages, but the Sith in that time... Sith like Ragnos Sadow Kressh, they could handle Sith Swords with ease. Sadow had a lightsaber once but choice not to use it. Ajunta Pall who would have been trained in the art of using lightsabers since he joined the Jedi Order dropped his lightsaber in favour of a Sith sword and he was human...

The weapon is not as important as the one that uses it. For a person like Yoda to wield a Sith sword it would be suicide, for somebody like Ragnos... I doubt he would really be bothered by the weight.

If he lived in a time when there were Sith Swords then he sure as hell managed to stand up against them and destroy the one's that used them.

Where did you get this info from.

I was referring to other users like Sadow or Kressh. I'm trying to point out that being a lightsabre master does not > being a sith sword master.

Other people at this forum 😛 I think Nai or somebody like that once said it....

And Traya, sorry misunderstood you there... I thought you were saying he couldn't beat any Sith Sword master...

Surely then Tulak Hord would have had the choice as well yet he still chose a lightsaber and I would definitely hold the judgement of the best lightsaber duelist (pre KOTOR times in the opinion of Traya) over the judgement of someone whose sword was more powerful than he was.
