Exar Kun & DE Sidious vs. Ragnos & Sadow

Sith swords can shatter lightsabers? Since when?

Sith Swords and sabers are pretty much the same thing. What I mean is, the ancient sith preferred the sith swords so they can feel themselves stabbing into the flash of their enemies(this is a fact I read it somewhere will get it if I can find it). Also, their swords have sith alchemy and cortosis and all that in/on them to resist lightsabers. THe only advantage they have is that they are said to swing their swords(which are heavy), as fast as jedi swing their sabers. That would definitely give them the advantage of knocking their opponents down.

Ah, okay. Well, I have no problem with that. Especially when Kun and Sidious have an apparent advantage of their own.

Give 'em the swords.

They definitely can't swing their swords as fast as sabers. The ancient sith weren't that strong. I mean have you seen how big and heavy the swords look?

yes, they were said to swing them as fast as sabers. But back on topic.

Sith swords didn't have a speck of cortosis...cortosis wasn't discovered until later on by one of Exar Kun's former adept

I'm not sure about that lightsnake I am pretty sure cortosis existed even before the ancient sith of the golden age. And if it wasn't cortosis it was sith magic that could withstand a lightsaber.

Existed? sure. Discovered? No. Sith Alchemy was what they used in the creation, there was no cortosis.

I'll look that up, in the meantime find me somewhere that states that cortosis was discovered by Kun's adepts.

Evil Never Dies: The Sith dynasties

ok I only have a wikipedia source since I have nowhere else to look it up. I dont know what E.V.D is.

By who? Janus?

I don't know. I wasn't aware someone on this forum said it also, I just remember reading it in a source.

It's not in any of the comics, or essential guides or anything like that. I read a thread in which people stated it, but not because it was stated by a credible source but because the swords left blurs and after images. While this clearly indicates speed, I can't see how you can deduce from that that they could swng their swords as fast as lightsabers.

And can you deduce that they are slower than lightsabers, or lightsabers are faster than them?

Nevermind.

Well logic dictates otherwise, as the Ancient sith were hardly physically stronger than other species, yet their swords were much heavier than lightsabers. Yeah, I think it's pretty safe to say that they couldn't swing them as fast as lightsabers

What do you mean hardly physically stronger? They WERE physically superior to humans at the very least.. Hi Sama🙂

I don't agree. Judging by their looks they may have been physically stronger, but not strong enough to be able to swing swords of their kind as fast as jedi can swing sabers.

Again, you see the scans, which would mean they swing them impressively fast. Whether it's faster than a saber or not is inconclusive.
