LUKE vs NIHILUS! re-match(all out)

Yes a while ago i herd you guys did a thread about this
im not shure what the final outcome was

but my vote goes to nihilus
even if luke could remove himself from the force
and only engagde in saber combat he would still lose
because when he doesn't use the force to gelp him in
saber combat his speed, strength and stamina fall

It depends on what incarnation of Luke you're discussing. If it's NJO Luke, he would certainly defeat Nihilus- and I doubt it'll be particularly hard for him.

You see, Luke possesses experience with several Fallanassi techniques that make Nihilus' only uniquely powerful skill- his drain- completely useless against him. Luke will, no matter how you put it, curbstomp Nihilus without his drain- either crush him in a saber duel, destroy him with Electric Judgement... the list goes on. Luke, as of NJO, is generally accepted to be the most powerful force user in history. Nihilus, despite being an exceptionally powerful Sith Lord, will die to Luke.

Even if luke uses the fallanasi technique he still can use the force.

Right. Cuz Luke is automatically going to be all 'Look, that's Darth Nihilus from KotOR: TSL! He brutally severs people from the Force, and can do so to anything from individuals to entire f*cking planets! But I know what to do! I'm gonna loop out of the Force now, run up to him, and stab him in the ass! W00t.'

That, versus Nihilus sensing Luke's tremendous presence in the Force and deciding to eat him.

Luke could definitely win this if he did what he did against Jacen and just rushed the guy, but all Nihilus has to do is raise his hand.

Well, Luke now has the whole shatterpoint thing and he's not so susceptible as dying when blocked from the Force.
Luke could very well rush Nihilus and force a melee battle, too

This wouldn't be the most farfetched or implausible move ever from a SW character.

You have something more ridiculous in mind?

Midichlorians, Jar Jar, eating planets, NJO Luke Skywalker, President Obama, the list goes on.

Hey hey ho, you don't speak on sweet, black, baby Jesus Barack Obama like that...

Admiral Daala somehow being elected ruler of the Galactic Alliance?

How bout Luke appointing MOFFS, and batshit crazy Daala wasn't elected she was MADE ruler of the galaxy, with no fight from anyone and endorsement by a man she tortured Han Solo.

Or how bout a 30 year old woman Tahri who can't move on from a infatuation with a dead 17 year old Anakin Solo, and said woman who attempts to seduce a 14 year old Ben Skywalker.

Wouldn't luke know nihilus nature considering that the NEC was written by an inuniverse character and that it would be safe to assume that luke knows the old republic history?

luke knew about marka ragnos did he not?

How about the concept of the entire legacy series and bringing the sith back like that?

How about Jacen gaining magical powers by picking a sith name?

How about the fact that Obama is still running for president?

Knew who he was, but not the extent of his force power, or melee abilities.

Ragnos did possess one of the most deadly weapons of his time, The Scepter.

Luke could've assumed he was helluva powerful force user.

i still don't think we can assume that nihilus can drain any person he wants too in a moment. we never actually see that happen. Luke DOES have the ability to remove himself from the force completely, as evidenced when he goes AWOL before slipping aboard the Anakin Solo to rescue Ben. So that would keep Nihilius drain or whatever the attack is called from having much of an affect even if Nihilius COULD use that attack on a single target.

Actually I'm pretty sure that nihilus can target a single target and drain them when he wants to as you can see in this clip

at around 1:09 you see nihilus target the exile and use his drain technique only to fail since the exile is a wound in the force.

But i still see luke coming out the victor here. He knows so much force techniques and being able to mask his presence while also being able to force project himself somewhere else (at least thats what i think he did in inferno) only helps his cause.

he definitly did it in invincible, several times too.

Luke is just a beast. I don't know why most people dislike him..... It's not his fault the authors made him so Uber.
