The Clone. Look at AOTC when the Trade Federation Core gets shot down and a big cloud of dust flies everywhere. The Clones are still hitting and killing the SBD's but the SBD's are missing the Clones. The Clones have betetr aim, reflexes, sure the SBD's were programmed to kill but so were the regular Battle Droids and they suck. The Clones were trained to fight or die trying. They are superior to SBD's.

It takes a clone a volley of shots to destroy a SBD. This is showen in the movies. They have thick steel armour and are programmed to kill. No, they are not as smart as the clones but they ceratainly arent stupid. And a wrist rocket could do some serious damage. Even if the clone rolls out of the way it will be defenceless for the few seconds its on the ground. Easily enough time for the SBD to shoot it. And the fact that the droids need the main control ship to function means sh*t in this fight. Its not like the clone is going to infiltrate the control ship, blow it up and escape all by itself.

What makes you so sure? How was the battle won in TPM? CW shows Saesse Tiin and his crew taking over a Federation ship during battle conditions, so it would be equally possible for them to then destroy the ship and escape, which would mean no more control ship for the other droids.

Really? I seem to remember Padme shooting one and it survived but every time a Clone shot one it went down right away. One got shot by a Clone who was sitting in a Republic Gunship when the Clones first arrived. And during the battle every time a SBD gets shot it goes down. The only time it didn't was when Padme shot it.
And a wrist rocket could do some serious damage.

Since when did SBD's have wrist rocket's?

And the chances of it having to roll away are what? Small at best. More likely the Clone will draw his blaster and blast the SBD to pieces before the SBD gets off anm accurate shot.

Since the Battlefront games were released.

Ah, okay, but the original b-2 battle droid didn't have any wrist-rockets./ So is this the original or one of the improved versions?

this is the normal super battle droids, with wrist rockets, they always had them, but clones had superior training, the clouds of dust confused the SBD's but not the clones.

This thread is like Jango Fett VS SBD. The clone wins.

Legion_of_Maul Cool Joe.

not really, considering they are altered and the only thing in common with jango they have is physical features.

Didn't Boba said how they resembled Jango in his own book? Like they they walked, how they aimed, and etc?

how they aimed? they need more training to get as good as Jango. However a Super battle droid is able to stand up against a wookiee warrior

Clone Troopers are much more efficient when in groups; outnumbering is one of their prime strategies.

Super Battle Droids work much more independently.

1 on 1, I’d say the Super Battle Droid would win. If they were in groups, the clones would win.

IMO.

And BTW, since when was Battlefront considered as Canon?

I haven't read the book, but it wouldn't surprize me, as things like that could count as behavioural characteristics, which are genetically determined. Cloned cats have shown to have near identical behavioural traits as their genetic donor.

?

I agree. I read somewhere, I think it was in the AOTC novel this: 'One on one a SBD is better than a clone, however the clones produce superior tactics which ensure a victory'.

I dont remeber it word for word but that is basically what it meant. A SBD is better than a clone, but the clones work in groups to outsmart the enemy. Keyword being groups. In this battle there is just one clone. So the SBD wins.

Well for one thing it depends on the general. but if there is'nt one i'd say SBD because they have very good acuarcy with the blaster. Also one wrist rocket= 5 corpses. the clones take 5 years to matureand SBD are churned out of a factory. Also IT TAKES MORE THAN ONE SHOT TO DESTROY A SBD. they can't move much, but their sheer numbers make up for any destroyed ones.
