Please....do you know much about Shimrra? Shimrra's faster and tougher than a race of warriors...
an average Vong is capable of:Do you have a passage for this? If you remember the book, it's on swtimeline for you to reference.
Deflecting a knife from a noghri, one of the best assassins inthe galaxy
Kill the Noghri
Take on two Jedi
Defeat one of them...Before the knife hits the ground.
Shimrra matches a-an albeit tired- Luke and dances around his attacks....I don't think that's what happened at all, but I may have misread the passage. It appeared to me, that Shimrra caged Luke in with his 10-foot amphistaff, then lunged in and ensnared him.
he's over seven feet tall, muscled like a monster and deflects a saber throw with his hand without even looking...he also knocks JACEN unconcious with a dismissive slapThe saber throw came from a stunned JACEN who was lying on the ground after being *****slapped.

Well, as I was saying at...what forum was it? There are too many. The one DS19 is in charge of, Nihilus might actually have a chance in this fight if he focuses on the fact that he can still use the Force to hit Shimrra with things even if he cannot outright hit Shimrra with the Force itself. Nihilus' powers were great enough to tear his fleat from the mass shadows of Malachor and hold it together as he flew around the galaxy. That's some serious power right there.
Nihilus is favourite in this. He has so much more going for him as a powerful force user. Shimrra on the other hand can only fall on his weapons and physical attributes. Plus his fight with NJO Luke wasn't even close to being fair, yet he could only get his head chopped off after a brief engagement with a very tired Luke.
Shimrra is no CW Grievous, Nihilus takes this 7/10.
