In other words, the skill and power that Anakin shows as a young man is greater than what we see in the classic films. As Vader, Anakin is more machine than man, and being a half-droid construct has seriously hampered his lightsaber prowess."

You were saying?

As i was saying, didnt the ANH novel said that both vader and obi wan grew stronger than the the last time they met? And did i not mention what vader was capable of with the lightsaber in the EU?

[BYou should also note that he only eliminates four by himself, and they don't all attack him in conjuncture. He also got: his arm lopped off, half of his mask shredded, pummeled with scraps, nearly beaten to death. Do you have any proof any of those Jedi were anything above Zett Jukassa's skill (save for Tsui Choi, who only attacked with a blade once, IIRC)?
[/B]

Lets not forget he was still inexperienced at that time being only 4-5 weeks after the movie and that he got Backstabbed , still being able to kill 4 jedis in his "crippled half droid" situation is impressive, that people seem to imply vader would get wtf pwned by any bpdy(no not you). They even seem to forget that for lightsaber skills, his pysical strength makes up for his speed and that he custamises his djem so with other forms to make up for lack of speed. And what? just because they got beaten by vader means they suck? i dont think so, that would be and will be the most irritating i would hear about vader beating his opponents then what about the dark woman? Had this been OT vader the fight would go a completely different way, remember? That ot vader is patient, more intelligent and that he knows how to kill his opponents?

Wrong, you are the least respect debator here captain planet, no body takes you seriously

Seriously, what kind of bullshit point is this, Kadesh? This is why you are a terrible debater, crap like this.

Saying that doesnt change the fact that you have no skills at all

Originally posted by The Planet

Whether these points actually have merit to them (coming from you, I doubt it) or not is irrelevant, this is ESB Vader, and the highest form of canon as well as Lucas say that he is slow and unskilled.

Lucas only said he was halfcrippled, and when did vader EVER fight a real opponent in the movies? either that luke or obiwan

I dont have the luxury of looking for it for a n00b like you

ok i got that wrong, but do you need to insult? thats why no body likes you sock

QED, motha****a!!

lol, that was because i was sleeping fool. now im back, And since when have you built a proper argument? none ! And by the way, advent just corrects what we said, unlesswe chose to argue

Sorry that it took so long for me to post. I had to squeeze in between the MASSIVE EGOS that invaded the thread. Whew...

Look, dude, you two are about dead even in terms of the whole "least respected debater" here, from what others seemed to have said about you both. You're both pretty damn cocky, you're both quick to dismiss the abilities of others, and your reputation has suffered for it. So, why not argue the debate instead of arguing about which one has the more respect and the more debating prowess?

I wouldn't be quick to call other people "least respected", Planet. Despite your self-apparent "extreme skillz!", you're in the same boat that Kadesh is. This is, of course, largely due to your temper (which, I hate to tell you, does nothing but ellicit laughs and humor from the rest of us), your arrogance (which makes us question as to why you are so arrogant. Most arrogant people, of course, have impressive abilities of some sort), and your ability to spin things. See, you accused me of lying once (and you've accused Lightsnake of doing the same thing), and we've proven today that you like to put your own spin on specific things (like Kas'im "redirecting" Bane's energy blast...), and then you go on to harass people who don't immediately offer "proof" to claims that you don't like. Then, there's that time where you didn't like that canon sources disagreed with you, so you rattled off some bullshit about "having my own imagination and not writing love letters to Lucas and Chee and having them make up my own mind" when it suited your rather immature purpose. Your opinion = jack shit in the face of canon. Thought I'd use this to reiterate that.

By the way, it's "won", not "one", oh Lord of Debating.

Wait a sec... Vader is 80% of ROTJ Sidious? D@mn, he's even more powerful than I was saying. ROTJ Sidious is like 10% or 20% better than his ROTS self. That makes Vader... Let's see...
We'll go with RotS Sids being 15% weaker than RotJ.
I did the math, and Vader, by ROTJ, is 94% of ROTS Sidious.
That's pretty d@mn strong.
Probably strong enough to beat the Count... I'd give him 85% of RotS Sids. AT MOST.

Then your math is off by a teeny bit (and I stress "teeny"😉. If RotJ Sidious was 15% greater than his RotS self, then Darth Vader (assuming 80% of RotJ Sidious) would be 95% of RotS Sidious.

Here's how you do it:

Step 1. 100% (RotJ) - 15% (power gap) = 85% (RotS)
Step 2. 85% (RotS) - 80% (Vader/RotJ) = 5% (difference in power)
Step 3. 100% (RotS) - 5% (difference in power) = 95%

Of course, I'm in college and I still suck at third grade math, lol! But, there's other ways to do that, that was the simplest I could think of. He's 1% stronger than you said, of course, that's only if we were to actually accept the premise that Lucas was a) referring to Sidious as seen in Return of the Jedi, and b) that the difference in power from RotS to RotJ is actually 15%.

As i was saying, didnt the ANH novel said that both vader and obi wan grew stronger than the the last time they met?

The omniscient narrator doesn't say it, the fallible characters (Old Ben and Darth Vader) do say this, however:

"This is a fight you cannot win, Darth. Your power has matured since I taught you, but I too have grown much since our parting. If my blade finds its mark, you will cease to exist. But if you cut me down, I will only become more powerful. Heed my words"

But, unlucky for you, that comment contradicts the actual movie, where the dialogue is actually:

Darth Vader: "Your powers are weak, old man."
Ben Kenobi: "You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

So, in this case, what he said in the novel is irrelevant. It contradicts the highest form of canon, it's stated by fallible characters, and moreover, also causes a discrepancy between Lucas' words, and what starwars.com has to say. Which are both said about 20 plus years after the now ancient ANH novel came out.

This point holds no water.

And did i not mention what vader was capable of with the lightsaber in the EU?

Did I mention that I don't give a shit? Oh, no. I seem to have left that out. Well, let me say that I don't give a shit. Feat wars are irrelevant.

Don't take that as me being mean to you, by the way. It's just the easiest way I could put it (plus it lets me vent frustration).

And what? just because they got beaten by vader means they suck?

Did you see those words typed in my post? No, I said "Do you have any proof any of those Jedi were anything above Zett Jukassa's skill?". It's a legitimate question, it has nothing to do with Vader himself. I'm just putting into question their level of skill. I can't imagine how seven Coleman Trebors would cause a huge problem.

Everything else in your post really has no place for me to respond to.

You do know that the movie doesnt actually show everything right? are we suppose to know what dooku was thinking while watching it visually? i dont think so, Novels explain most of the things we see in the movie that are not shown,

And didnt you say whats mentioned in the novel is canon? you mentoined that in the thread about vader using dissipation didnt you? Contradiction between your words? i think so

Just for your information, there is a reason why feat wars are mentoined, several reasons, like why vader was able to kill 3 of the jedis swiftly and easily, why? because he has skill, he proved that he was capable of what he can do

While i am putting in the level of vaders skill, Jedi academy has proven that he does order ASP droids and that he practises them to buff up his lightsaber skills and it was noted that they knew every lightsaber form and were stronger than an ordinary man,

And i really do not like it when people assume vader got weaker as the 19 years past, in ROTS he has not even began to practise learn and fully master the dark side as he did much later on in his sith years, O yea and its really impressive when people say anakins force powers are better and stronger when his force choke cant even kill his own wife who is not a force user

He was referring to Full potential anakin which did not happen

Hasnt this been settled in the dooku vs vader thread back then?

Dude this is a complete joke, and probably the worst insult you could ever give me. I am leagues above Kadesh in debating, to say that we're on the same level makes it pretty clear that you have some kind of grudge against me (as do the 10 or so quotes you have in your profile, LOL!). But seriously, I'm actually insulted, to compare me to Kadesh is quite possibly the most humiliating thing you could do to me, that's just embarrassing.

Now aside from the haters out there, I'm recognised as one of the best here, don't be foolish and try to make out that I'm on Kadesh's level, just ask anyone who has nothing against me, and who is somewhat intelligent, they'll say that I'm leagues above Kadesh. It's actually kind of funny that you would come out with that kind of crap, because you've now made it publicly known to the forum that you're either a dumbass, or you have some kind of grudge against me, because I don't think Sidious is the bomb. I mean is that like the only way you can get back at me for destroying you in the 'Yoda vs. Kas'im' thread, because you've clearly backed out of that won (- lolz).

I wouldn't be quick to call other people "least respected", Planet. Despite your self-apparent "extreme skillz!", you're in the same boat that Kadesh is. This is, of course, largely due to your temper (which, I hate to tell you, does nothing but ellicit laughs and humor from the rest of us),

Again Escape, what the hell is this kind of crap. How the hell do I come across as angry on this forum? Now I'm not going to be a prick like you are and lie, I'm not going to come back and just say the same about you, because I'm an honest guy. But please, I'm hardly one of the 'angry' people on this forum. That would be Sexy, Kadesh, and Darth Subject, saying the same about me, again, only makes it clear that you're either a dumbass or you have something against me. Either way, you only lose credibility.

your arrogance (which makes us question as to why you are so arrogant. Most arrogant people, of course, have impressive abilities of some sort), and your ability to spin things.

Didn't realise that arrogance was a flaw. And please, at my best, there aren't many people above me. In fact, the only people who would be able to beat me at my best, honestly, I'd say would be Advent and Lightsnake, nobody else can touch me, so please, don't be ridiculous.

See, you accused me of lying once (and you've accused Lightsnake of doing the same thing), and we've proven today that you like to put your own spin on specific things (like Kas'im "redirecting" Bane's energy blast...), and then you go on to harass people who don't immediately offer "proof" to claims that you don't like.

Slightly exaggerating a feat (even though I wasn't, in my eyes at least) is nowhere near the same as misquoting LFL officials, or lying about sources, don't be ridiculous.

Then, there's that time where you didn't like that canon sources disagreed with you, so you rattled off some bullshit about "having my own imagination and not writing love letters to Lucas and Chee and having them make up my own mind" when it suited your rather immature purpose. Your opinion = jack shit in the face of canon. Thought I'd use this to reiterate that.

Excuse me, but I never argue against canon, I just interpret it differently.

By the way, it's "won", not "one", oh Lord of Debating.

Wow, you caught me out on won spelling mistake, well done, good for you! 👆

lol what ever you say captain planet, Now, are you going to go on with the debate or continue to humiliate yourself? Honestly i wouldnt say you are a bad debator, but you did become bad these past few days because you got arrogant and cocky, no im not insulting you, im just giving my opinion, want to be a good debator? Just debate civiliy and i think what Escape said is true about us, so why not bother to change?

Um its best you look up a few scrolls. She only told me what i had made wrong about the novel thing, That means getting destroyed? i dont think so. At least she did something, unlike you who just brags

Dude, I had already defeated your points, Advent was just the one to crush your fool hardly persistence.

Kadesh Restricted

Planet, you didnt destroy anything, and advent only corrected my points, do you have problems reading? You havnt done anything accept brag

By the way, i checked the last few posts, all i saw was you getting your ass kicked by every one

The Planet Restricted

Correcting your points = destroying your points.

Kadesh Restricted

not entirely, and all i had mentioned was one point about the novel, she hasnt replied to the other things i have said. She herself said that, And nobody is right all the time, learn to accept that
