DN Luke Runs the Guantlet

Started by tdtd2 pages

Well yea IKC, because Kun destroyed Nadd's spirit so obviously he was able to perform them for 4,000 years because his was still alive. Either way if they are on par Luke will have a tough time beating 1 after the other.

what is DE?

I think he'll have a "WTFpwn Maul" fight and then duel with sidious, defeat him but be a little injured. Then when he faces Nadd, it will be very close and Luke will get injured even more but win. But vs. Exar when he's injured and tired, there's a very, very small chance he'll make it. I say he'd stop at 9.

If he kills Sidious right away in fight number 7, before he can unleash a force storm and be worn down, then steps on Maul, it will make a huge difference. If he manages to do that, he will fight Nadd relatively unscathed and beat him, but suffer some injuries. Then after that, in his fight against Kun, I give him a 50/50% chance. This is a best case scenario, however. So, I say Luke gets stopped at nine unless he pulls off, well, a Luke move.

The fact that Kun was able to do similar things as Nadd while both were spirits speaks about his power. I was not diminishing Nadd, though it's quite a stretch to say automatically that Nadd would perform as well as Kun in 4000 years when there's no evidence to go on.

Agreed

I've been pulling for DN Luke a lot recently, but no way is he making it past Nadd. He kills everyone fairly easily until he gets to Ulic, which should be a hard fight. Darth Revan and Darth Malak would also be a hard fight after how tired he will be after Ulic. Maul is a nonfactor more or less in the next fight and DE Sidious will lose as Luke defeated Sidious when he was far weaker and Luke has defeated someone with a base of power that is FAR larger then DE Sidious'. Luke also defeated Raynar(the guy with a larger base of power then DE Sidious) while fighting Lomi Plo, who is very powerful in her own right, and fending off shattergun pellets from many Killiks.

Either Nadd, or Kun. If he gets past Nadd he may take it all the way.

Except not. Even if I entertain the possibility that he gets past Nadd, Kun would take down even a fully-powered Luke. There's no way that he can make it all the way.

Yep. He's going down at Nadd. But if he gets pass Nadd, then Kun wastes him.

Everyone seems to assume the worst for Nadd.

Unfortunately so. I have no idea why I tried to qualify my answer in the Odan thread.

I think it's the lack of material we have on his life. But, then again, Ragnos doesn't have that problem.

Indeed, though the bits we do have seem to place his power at very high levels. His only real low showing is getting destroyed by the amulet, which I'm not sure any spirit could defend against.

And for what its worth, the TOTJ Companion has his stats at some ridiculous levels.

No, I think the scans make it clear enough that sticking an amulet inside a Force ghost like Kun did would annihilate it. Quite a stroke of intuition on Kun's part.

Of course, said stats aren't canon. Who are they comparable to? I remember you saying Kun's were 2nd highest, second only to Ragnos.

Different sets of stats though. This particular set of stats do not include Ragnos or Kun, like that particular set of stats don't include Nadd. No, they aren't canon, but they are part of the TOTJ Companion, which is why I said for what it's worth. It at least indicates that the feats Nadd did weren't exactly through diplomacy. And considering that Nadd had issues with insurrection, it doesn't seem like he took Onderon all that peacably.
