Vodo Siosk-Baas versus Mace Windu

Probably the 2 most powerful jedi in their respective eras. Takes place in the throne room of the death star.

Baas is certainly the strongest of his era. Mace? Number two.

Still think it'd be a good fight. I'm torn. On the one hand, Baas got pwned by Kun . . . but, on the other, Kun is a good step or two above RotS Sidious in my personal opinion . . .

Eeeeh...................

You actually made a good thread, in my opinion. I've gotta think on it.

What the hell...Stop it. Yoda was stronger than Mace and it's outrighted stated

You think Baas got pwned by Kun. I think it was pretty close. Kun was never actually able to outduel Vodo and break through his defences, he had to use his phenomenal strength to break his stick. My interpretation of the duel was that Vodo was doing better, but it is just my interpretation and it is hard to interpret fight scenes from a comic.

I'd put thon, Ood and Arca over Baas

Really? Thon? possibly. Ood? Hell no. Arca? No, but I do believe that he's slightly underrated.

What'd Vodo ever do to put himself on the position of strongest?

He was able to make his stick able to withstand the cutting power of a saber with the force. He was able to contend with Kun in a battle and was a slightly better dueler imo. He mastered the force blocking technique. His teachings were considered one of the most valuable pieces of jedi history by The Disciple.

Big deal, Tor Snappit was able to harden his staff as well
And Wisdom isn't exactly power.

What has Vodo done that is impressive except being killed by Kun? Wouldn't Mace physical strenght be equal or even beyond Kun's? Wouldn't Mace be as surprising to Vodo as Kun because they both had invented their own styles?

I think the fight might be good, but Mace could probably crack his staff like Kun did...

It would be a pretty interesting match, as Vodo seems to utilise Soresu, whuc is the basic opposite of Vaapad.

What? When is that even HINTED? Vodo's hardly the most defensive fighter

Notice how he wields his staff. Whether or not Soresu was even invented at that time, it seems that he utilises a defencive form.

Here Lightsnake, he pretty much wields his staff like this te entire battle.

Why don't we post the NEXT scan where he goes on the offensive?

The only time in the entire fight where he goes on the offensive.

the fight is only another two panels...in two, he's defensive, in anoter two, he's offensive

There are 11 panels...
He is in an offensive stance in one of them.
In the rest, he is wielding his staff in a defencive stance.

We clearly don't see it all. A fight doesn't consist of 2 or 3 punches each, and look at the lines they are saying. Do you think they can talk for that long and still only deliver a single hit? We don't see enough to figure it out....

Besides, it may have been because Kun was going offensivley against him and he had to defend. Like when Anakin performs a flip during a battle in ROTS doesn't mean he is using Ataru....

Hence why I said that Vodo 'seems' to utilise a defencive style. The evidence is pointing in that way, and it probably is but there is no way you can truly tell from a comic book.
