You're right Sama, it's more logical to assume Kun, who had a year to study Sadow's knowledge, is more capable of using a powerful blast than Sadow, who created the amulet and had his whole life to study sith magic/sith alchemy/force channeling.. Yes.... Right..

3.) Project messages.
How would Sadow having a greater knowledge of the weapon mean he can produce the blast of the same size? Especially when it's only meant to do three things. Plus, just because a blacksmith built a sword, doesn't mean the smith is actually a good swordsman.
It is quite possible, even likely that the blast Kun used on the sith wyrm was different than the one used on Aleema. If you recall, Ulic had another amulet that created the same kind of non lethal blast.
It created a lethal blast, I doubt it was the same blast though:
The one Kun used on Aleema was similiar in color to the one he used on the Wyrm, and was also shot like a projectile:
My point exactly. Those dark jedi could have have been powerful, or not powerful at all. The fact that you're basing Kyle's superiority over Sadow on mainly this fact, is the reason I brought this up.
Didn't I already explain the seven Dark Jedi were powerful? They are not the "average" Dark Jedi, or Reborns. They are the Seven Dark Jedi. Jerec was trained by Lord Vader, Jocasta Nu, and Sidious himself. He was also capable of cutting people off from the Force ("Jerec has the uncanny power to absorb and overshadow one’s connection to The Force"😉, was a fully trained Jedi, he had a boost from the Valley of the Jedi when he fought Kyle, and Qu Rahn had said this:
"If Jerec captures this power, he will be a creature such as the universe has never seen. A supernova of stars in a fleeting thought. The eradication of life from a star system in a whisper will be within his power."
And Jerec did get a boost from the Valley of the Jedi when fighting Kyle, yet Kyle still defeated him even with no real training. And, Jerec was also viewed as one of the galaxy's biggest threats.
He also defeated six other fully trained Jedi. Boc, who used dual lightsabers, and used an unorthodox style. Pic and Gorc, who were described as: "Pic is the energy and Gorc, the counter. They are the clashing balance of opposites: one, the voice; the other, the body. This combination is deadly."
Sariss, who was also a master in lightsaber combat, "Out of all the Dark Jedi I have met, Sariss is the one I can say I fear. Powerful, strong in both the physical and mental arenas of the Force, she is a master, a perfectionist, quiet and reserved. This makes her a very dangerous foe."
Yun, who was young and somewhat inexperienced, but nonetheless powerful, "These elements make him a dangerous and unpredictable foe." Then you have Maw, who's only half a body anyways, lol, but is still described as a "strong and formidable foe".
So, it would seem that the seven Dark Jedi Kyle faced weren't average, and were all described as being powerful. We know Jerec is the most powerful out of all of them, and still Kyle beat him.
Kyle did what with little real training, blow up a star? What are you talking about?
I meant for that to go in front of Sadow blowing up a star. As to say Kyle beat Jerec and the others with little training.
And combat experience means only so much. I could for example, the likes of Odan Urr or Vodo had more combat experience than Yoda, yet Yoda was more powerful. So my point again was, combat experience means only so much in an all out fight.
There's a difference. I'm talking about direct combat experience, i.e. fighting with a sword. And Odan Urr, apparently, only fought with the Force (stripping people of it, BM, etc.), and Vodo trained students for 600 some years. Yoda trained students as well, but probably had more sparring matches than Odan.
Anyways, the point was: I doubt Sadow has taken on as many opponents in a duel as Kyle has, while you're right, it doesn't account for everything, it does mean something. Kyle also has experience dealing with unorthodox fighting, and the like. Either way though, it does give him an edge, even if it's little.
No Sama if you read what I said you would quit making shit up. I said he showed great speed, PERIOD, not that it was greater than Kyle's. Talk about reading comprehension.
So, because I misread it - we should talk about reading comprehension? Well, if that's the case, we need to get you immediate help.
This probably goes into the earlier paragraph, but tell me something Sama. How many people have you seen use force speed in a lightsaber fight? I can only recall Luke and Sidious, who both were trained enough to use it without slicing themselves into little bitty pieces. Otherwise EVERYBODY would be using it no?
Actually, you're wrong. Kyle used Force speed twice, if I remember correctly, once when Luke was testing him for something, and the other to escape a bounty hunting droid (or something like that) on Nar Shaddaa.
In a saber fight? Perhaps not. If you're referring to overall,
Good for me, I'm not referring to overall.
I guess them creating the massive force drain technique as one of their many abilities, means they couldn't compete with the likes of Kyle. In other words, you're full of ****.
In other words, I wasn't talking about overall, so pull your head out of your ass. And that was only Ragnos' sceptor, so "their abilities"? No, more like "his ability".
Like I said, it's a little different with saber combat because we DONT KNOW THEIR CAPABILITIES..
Your point? I mean how the hell would we know their saber capabilities? Sadow doesn't even use a saber. And really, what are you trying to argue? From what Kyle has demonstrated, it's clear he'd probably kill Sadow in a swordfight, likewise it's probable Sadow > Kyle in the Force.
Neither will your lack of reading comprehension. Notice how I said that pertaining to this thread, meaning Sadow could possibly use his amulet and Kyle would most likely not be able to stop it.
Oh god, reading comprehension? Hah. Anyways, I called you a fanboy. How the hell does my reading comprehension have an influence on that? You said "amulet and sword, all needed to be said", that is fanboyish, whether you say it here or anywhere else, especially considering what we know of Katarn.
Yes, I haven't given you a shred of proof in terms of lightsaber combat, and you haven't given me a shred of proof in force abilities.
Uh, what? He threw Jaden through an entire room, cut Jerec off from the Force (IIRC), and you still haven't shown me what magnitude the blasts are for definite.
Reading comprehension fails you again.
Yes, as much as you'd love to think that: no.
I never said Sadow>Kyle in saber combat, quit making shit up again.
Oh? Did I say that? No? Quit making shit up. I never said that you said Sadow > Kyle in lightsaber abilities. I simply asked you to make an argument for how Sadow could stop Katarn in a lightsaber duel.
Also the fact you said "amulet and heavy sword, all that's needed to be said" kind of implies that Sadow > Kyle, but anyways that's not the point. The point was I only asked you to make a viable argument for how Sadow can stop Katarn.
And you can say those amulet blasts could be comparable to the ones used on Aleema, or they could be on the quantity of the sith wyrm. Yet it's all speculation. Not to mention it's possible that Kun's blast on aleema was different than Kun's blast on the sith wyrm.
Exactly, not is definite, so you cannot just say "z0mg katarn gets h0le in ch3st". That's the entire point.
As opposed to "omgz he beat 7 DJ and desann, he must own sadow in EVERYTHING!
Straw man. And I never said "everything", you dolt, I said the opposite actually:

God, tdtd, do you love looking like an idiot or something? Logical fallacy, and you didn't even get it correct!
I never said he would, I'm saying your "we know nothing about him so he must suck at saber fighting" logic is fallible.
Same as above basically. Straw man, plus I never said that he sucks in swordfighting. I said that Kyle - from what we know - is superior. How does that mean he sucks against everyone in swordfighting? Oh? It doesn't? As usual, quit making shit. You cannot say "it's inconclusive, so we must rely on a Force battle" as you seem to be doing with constant talk of Sadow > Kyle in the Force.
