Yes, but you didn't reference that point; you just said "he's the only black guy" without any reference, so I corrected you.

Common sense is your ally.


I never said he's the only black guy, I said "Kar doesn't have a lightsaber." A simple statement. Reading Comprehension is your friend. Use it.

Yes, Kar uses Vibroshields, not a lightsaber. Thats why I said Mace is the only black man with a lightsaber in this fight, because he is. lol

Anyways, Mace couldn't beat Kar in a "straight" fight after being stabbed through the stomach by Depa's lightsaber. Mace was exhausted and hurtin really REALLY badly when he and Kar dueled.

lol, the poll is 50/50

Who cares about the poll, people that use the poll are the ones who don't actually post an argument.

Actually I hope they all just kill each other. Mace and his purple lightsaber really get on my nerve and then add his 'im da man' attitude and that ruins my Star Wars experience. Yoda is a two footass hole who is so arrogant he didnt notice that Palpatine was the Dark Lord of the Sith plus his accent pisses me off. I dont really know enough about Kar to have an opinion but he can die just for my enjoyment. Finally there is Anakin who chopped off the great Count Dookus head which caused the whole Star Wars saga to be ruined.

Mace WIndu IS the man. Dooku's a P*ssy anyways... Fat bastard.

Polls blow.

I still remember one poll where every informed individual chose Nadd yet there were still invisible members that decided Sidious would win.

lol

All I said was the poll was 50/50...

just thought it was interesting...no need to jump down my throat for no reason tdtd. You tend to do that...you should really work on that.

I didnt actually say it mattered, just that it was 50/50, which its not anymore.

I voted in favor of Mace because balance disturbs me and I always bet on black.

LOL

I agree that Mace Windu is the WOman. How can you not like Count Dooku though. He is charasmatic strong and would kick anyones ass, especially Mace Windus

Oh really? And you base ths on what?

I base it on the fact he practices a style of dueling based on lightsaber vs lightsaber combat. The only way Mace would have a chance against the great Count Dooku would be if he picked up a blaster and started shooting him.

Just because Makashi is designed for lightsaber vs lightsaber combat, it doesn't mean that it is the best form for saber dueling. IMO Mace Windu with his style of Vaapad and his shatterpoint ability is a greater dueler then Dooku with his style of Makashi.

Actually, Makashi is the "Refinement of saber to saber duelling". That would make it the best style for saber to saber combat, apparently. I realize that Vaapad sounds kickass and was totally hyped, but nowhere does it say or show that Vaapad is better than Makashi at what Makashi is made for.

I see where you are coming from, but Vaapad is nether specifically stated to be designed for a single type of combat (unlike Soresu (blaster fire) and Makashi (lightsaber)) but is stated to be the most deadly of all of the forms, and every practitioner that we have seen has always been exceptional at saber dueling (Sora Bulq and Depa Billaba were exceptional). Plus the fact that Mace Windu created Vaapad and the fact that he utilises his shatterpoint ability put him on a whole different level IMO.

Form II
The ultimate refinement of lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat became Form II, advancing the precision of blade manipulation to its finest possible degree and producing the greatest dueling masters the galaxy has ever seen.
Today Form II is an archaism studied by almost no one in the Jedi Order, because it is not relevant to current tactical situations, in which Jedi enemies rarely fight with lightsabers. Even with the resurgence of the Sith, confrontation of an enemy with a lightsaber is an exceedingly rare prospect for a Jedi, so they continue to focus on more practical Forms. Sith expecting to battle lightsaber-wielding Jedi, however, find Form II a powerful technique.

Form VII
Only high-level masters of multiple Forms can achieve and control the ultimate descipline known as Form VII. This is the most difficult and demanding of all Forms, but it can eventually lead to fantastic power and skill. Form VII employs bold, direct movements, more open and kinetic than Form V but not so elaborate in appearance as Form IV. In addition to very advanced Force-assisted jumps and movements, Form VII tactics overwhelm opponents with seemingly unconnected staccato sequences, making the Form highly unpredictable in battle. This trait makes for a much more difficult execution than the graceful, linked move sequences of Form IV. Form VII requires the intensity of Form V, but much greater energy since that focus is wielded more broadly. Form VII draws upon a deeper well of emotion than even Form V, yet masters it more fully. The outward bearing of a Form VII practitioner is one of calm, but the inner pressure verges on explosion. Form VII is still under development since so few can achieve the necessary mastery to advance the art.

Really, it isn't in the original author's intent of the form, and while I remember Shatterpoint the novel all but fellating the form, it was the Shatterpoint technique that made Vaapad more dangerous than just any other form, along with his borderline darkside philosophy.
Yes, Mace is likely very comparable to Dooku for sheer skill and ability, and a battle between them would be intense, but Vaapad itself isn't superior to Makashi. Dooku would WTFrape any other practitioner of the form with relative ease.

Depa would be a challenge, I'd say, but he's already disposed of Bulq with impunity:

That looks like an owned pic.

Damn. I forgot the ''pwn3d'' at the bottom of my post.

I believe Mace is the only master of the form?(correct me if Im wrong)

It wouldnt be fair to judge the strength of Vaapad in comparison to Makashi when Dooku is a master of his form, whereas Bulq was not.
