Exar Kun vs Ludo Kressh

I don't think that's the reason. Most 1 on 1 battles tend to go down to saber duels. That seems to generally happen.

He's my question to you: Sadow clearly had that power. Ludo was a clear rival of his. Why did they NOT enter into a force battle?

Because they were equals Numan.

Of course they both feared him lol, what is your point? Once he was gone they contended with each other. When the author calls you a "powerful sith lord" in the GAOTS, you know you are one powerful mofo. No my friend, Kun doesn't stand a chance against the ancient sith.

You tend to post before you read everything huh. I was replying to Faunus. He said that if Sadow's force powers were so superior to Kressh's, how comes he didn't destroy him ages before. What I said was in reply to that.

That's nice, but you still fail to understand the conclusion of this thread.

This is because they had already locked swords and were in close proximity to each other. Sadow also seems to improve greatly after FotSE.

I don't think that's the point. The amulets can clearly fire right away. It's easier to shoot than to fight in melee. Also, I see no evidence that Sadow got stronger.

What?

There was at most a few days passing between the end of GAotS and FotSE. There was no comic or book written about Naga Sadow after the end of FotSE. He does not show improvement, he just states it's time for him to use Sith Magic.

You can't use the force when you are in close proximity? Is this why we see Dooku scoop up Obi-Wan with the force and chuck him across the room?

If there was a significant difference in force power, Naga would have pwned him. He didn't, they were close enough that he could not best him without using underhanded tactics and political manuevering. You forget, Ludo Kressh had the support of most of the Sith Lords until Naga Sadow pulled his little prank.

That, and the feats that we do see of Ludo show he is definitely very powerful. Now start making logical sense.

It clearly only became serious when Ragnos died and there was no dark lord. Ragnos would have been able to keep his sith lords under control. You are always saying that they both feared him.

What? Ragnos had been on his deathbed unchallenged; that would have been the perfect time for Sadow to take out the popular candidate for the title. Not to mention that the Sith were always a warring species, fighting amongst themselves as Ragnos played them for fools and kept them off of him. There would have been decades of animosity between Sadow and Kressh.

Dooku was only able to use the force once in that duesl, and that was because he was a great saber dueler. He was able to parry the blows of both Anakin and Obi Won and have enough time to force push Obi.

And Kressh was not great?

The point is Sadow and kressh likely fought before they hated each other, they knew it would come to battle the second they saw each other. If either one of them had a brain and the ability they would have blown the other to smithereens the first chance they had.

Seeing as they both have a brain they obviously didn't have the ability to do that.

There is nothing to suggest that either Kressh or Sadow were good duelists. And my point was that Dooku was quite a lot better than Kenobi and Skywalker. It is evident in the comics that Kressh and Sadow were pretty much the same in terms of swordfighting.

Read and respond to the rest of my post.

And they were the greatest of that time, you don't become that without knowing how to use that sword of yours. Hundreds of years of fighting tends to make you great with a weapon.
