Shimrra's advantage with Luke was that
1. Luke was tired after queering his way through the Vong army.
2. Luke was not quite as physically strong, a lightsaber has practically no mass, hence no momentum-
2 -A giant bastard sword empowered by the darkside however does. Marka Ragnos's strength was described by his contemporaries as being "legendary." He could, if anything, knock out Shimrra.
He could also hurl boulders or other rather large painful objects at his foe, to distract him.
It would be an interesting match, but I would still say the DLOTS wins.
*P.S Ownage you dumbass, look what you did to the page 😠

Ragnos was stated as having "tremendous physical strength". And nowhere does it say that the weakest Vong matches the strongest human, that's retarded.

Being an ancient Sith, a race renowned for their physical strength helps...
Not to mention that Ragnos has the force to augment his strength. Shimrra does not.

Piss poor logic.
Emperor Palpatine was both physically stronger than Yoda and had an equal grasp of the Force, but was unable to overcome Yoda himself in any of their saber locks.
Ragnos is an unknown. While he is physically powerful, you have no proof to indicate that he is physically stronger than Shimmra.

But the fact that the force does augment his strength is most likely true, while Shimrra doesn't have that luxury.
That's inconsistent. Consider that in RotS, Dooku is able to block an overhand assault from Obi-Wan and Anakin simultaneously, and either of them are physically beyond Dooku. And yet, at the end of the duel, Anakin just easily overpowers him.
I'm not saying that Ragnos won't win, as I believe that he should, but not for just that reason. I don't see him cold-cocking Shimmra.

I never said he would cold cock Ragnos. Now how is what I said inconsistent? Dooku possibly augmented his strength with the force, while Anakin did it on a greater level while tapping into the dark side.
Ironic how Dooku is a Dark Lord of the Sith. I'm pretty sure that he's got some strength in the Dark Side himself.
I never said that what you said is inconsistent. I said that the feat itself is.
