Nope but i live here, i was from nevada originally

I'm going with Anakin here. You have to be pretty damn good to defeat Dooku in 20 seconds, and kill Cin Drallig while choking someone else.

Echani swordsman like Yusanis and Fenni are said to be great swordsman.

id say dooku. anakin overpowered him and forced him back in ep 3, and then dooku was unprepaired, off balance and outmanuvered by anakin. i read somewhere that form 2s only weakness is against multiple opponents, and really powerful physical attacks.

dooku handled anakin and obi wan fairly well together, but then couldnt keep up with anakins strength. he was like a million years old at the time too so i cant really fault him for not having freakish strength. form 2 is the saber to saber form, and dooku mastered it more than anyone else in the jedi order. yodas speed might leave him behind, but in skill dooku is second to nobody.

Anakin used form II too, so Dooku clearly didnot master it more than anyone else. (Djem So is a combination of Makashi and Soresu)

I love opinion threads.

So Obi-Wan is obviously the best.

Sorry Hef, but Djem So isn't a combo of those other forms...none of them have any of the same characteristics...where did you hear that from?

just because someone else uses form 2 doesnt impact dookus mastery of it. i didnt say he was the sole user and master of it. i said he mastered it more than anyone else. as in all other users did not master it to the degree he did.

Coleman Trebor mastered it 😐

I'd be inclined to give a nod to Sidious, because that twisting move in Ep3 was off the hook. But he doesn't seem to be able to hold on to his lightsaber for too long. lol

Form V or the Way of the Krayt Dragon was a powerful style developed by Form III practitioners that preferred a more offensive style, since the defensive nature of Form III often led to dangerously prolonged combat. Form V evolved into a combat style by combining the defensive maneuvers of Form III with the more aggressive philosophy and tactics of Form II.

from wikipedia, it made sense to me. after all 2 and 3 does give you 5.

I submit to you...

GENERAL GRIEVOUS!

I'd have to say Anakin, Obi-Wan, Darth Maul, Sidious, Mace Windu, Yoda etc. Although not necessarily in that order.

lol you might as well name every Jedi and Sith who's won a duel. The topic is "Best Pure Swordsman" not "Who's good with a lightsaber". 😛

God, just because Anakin beat Dooku doesn't mean that Dooku was pwned! Everyone here seems to think that victory means pwnage. That is ridiculous!

Dooku was a jobber. He lost so easily. Marxman lol Best Pure Swordsman means a lot of things, Not just one. Who do you think is the best pure swordsman? Besides those that I named are very very good and excellent swordsman.

So are you saying that Dooku is weak because he lost to Anakin. Sorry but that is bullsh*t. Put anyone in Dookus's position and they would have lost. So by your logic the whole Jedi Order are 'jobbers' because they all would have lost to Anakin.

Not what I am saying at all Rampant ox. A lot of people think that Count Dooku is the best. If thats true, Then it should have been a much better battle between the two. Not all of the jedi order is weak. Although some are.

Hehehe...Go Grievous

This is too relativy. Anyone here can say that one particular duelist is the greatest pure duelist since he was good with the lightsaber, but what is a "pure duelist"? I think a pure duelst is someone who can match in lightsaber skill foes with greater force power and still being one of the greatest swordsman ever. In this case i think windu is the best, especially since he CREATED a lightsaber style, and probably the most powerful one.

But as i said this is TOO relative, anyone here has his args and can say someone is the best due to this or that reason...
