Mandalore - The Ultimate was so powerful and skilled that very few could possibly contend with him in combat. He overpowered a promising Jedi (young Malak) with a single blow.

The only Mandalore of his time.

In the Mandalorian order, only one warrior can attain the position of Mandalore and for that to happen, he should be most powerful among the Mandalorians.

Mandalore - The Ultimate was the leader of Mandalorians (in their prime time) and he led Mandalorian armies against the Republic in a war (known in the historical accounts as: The Mandalorian Wars) in an effort to conquer it. His armies won many battles against the Republic forces. Only the "Battle of Malachor V" changed the situation of the entire war (Thanks to Revan, being a great tactician). Once again! Read KOTOR comics.

Yusanis was a powerful echani warrior. His daughters (revealed and shown in KOTOR 2) spoke highly about him. According to the historical accounts, the only person to defeat and slay him in the battle was Darth Revan. (Source: KOTOR games)

Please.


Jango Fett was killed by Mace Windu and that too after he was heavily wounded by a beast and his Jet Packs failed to start. Obi-Wan failed to sub-due him.

Calo Nord was also a powerful bounty hunter with count-less victories to comphrehend his skills in combat. Only Revan killed him.

You may not care, but those 3 were powerful and skilled warriors, who couldn't be tackled by "average" Jedi or others. Specially the Mandalore - The Ultimate was no push-over for even powerful Jedi. So such victories do speak highly about Revan' combat skills.

So what?

The word "MANY" has no limits. Bandon might have killed much more. And so did Revan (according to Kriea).

So according to your logic, every Sith Lord who knows Force Lightning is on par with a Nightsister but couldn't be better? 🙄

Still have doubts about Bandon' power and skill?

Originally posted by Publius II
Sure, take at face value the self-evaluation of a Dark Jedi who, even when aligned with the Order, was considered headstrong and brash.

And considering Malak was clearly capable of overcoming her without any additional assistance, I'm not too impressed.


You and some others under-estimate Malak too much. Dude! He was the strongest Sith alive in his time. Very few could possibly contend with in combat. Even the Jedi Masters of his time avoided direct confrontations wih him. Malak could take on and defeat multiple enemies simultaneously. If Bastilla fell against him, it does not means that she was weak.

I already noted this.

And it proves that Revan was likely among the most powerful Jedi in Star Wars history because few have displayed combat feats that may rival or exceed Revan'.

When Ventress will take on and defeat a powerful Dark Lord of the Sith, than you will have a point. However! You don't have one as of yet.

Bandon killing "many" Jedi is good. Very good. (Oh and many can be to or 10,000---without an exact number, speculation abounds as it's all there is). These were also KoTOR Jedi of unknown rank. Ventress killed 17 PT Jedi, and there were masters in that lot. And canon says PT>KoTOR. That fact and the [I]lack of[/] facts surrounding Bandon other than the ambiguous "killed many" does not put him above Ventress.

Also it helps that we've seen Ventress skill level and power both in animation and the comics.

Bingo.

I am not comparing Bandon to Ventress but his feats suggest that he too was a powerful Sith Lord and a skilled warrior. He had the potential to challenge his Master for the DLOTS position. Killing many Jedi is not a matter of childsplay. The problem is that we need more details about the victims of Bandon. However! Among all of his foes, Revan was the only one who defeated him, so that says something.

Ventress killed some Jedi Masters too, which is very impressive and I do rank her among high-profile Dark Jedi. However, Bandon won't be a push-over.

Regarding this PT > KOTOR gimmick, it could be because of following reasons:

A) Big names like Yoda, Mace, Dooku and Anakin
B) Better Education
C) More Organized Order System

However, in the bigger picture:

KOTOR era Jedi (over-all) were more martial and battle-hardened than the PT era Jedi (with exception to a few big names). KOTOR era Jedi have faced proper armies of Sith (comprising of Sith Force users, Droids, and Elite Troopers) and also the Mandalorian Forces. Additionally, most Light Saber combat Forms were invented by the Ancient Jedi.

The PT era Jedi mostly faced armies of Droids and Clone Troopers. Many among them were used Niman users and weren't capable enough to survive in long battles involving lots of Blaster Fire.

This doesn't put Ventress above Bandon either.

Welcome to KMC. Either leave the unknowns alone or accept the fact that they'll never have anything that trumps a more fleshed-out character i.e. Ventress.

It's a lose-lose situation for any pro-KotOR whackjob. So just leave it alone.

Sorry legend but quit your whining kotor fanboyism, lucas, the god of star wars canon specifically made it clear that the PT jedi are the "prime of the jedi" aka they > the kotor jedi.

Overall, yes. But that doesn't anything to do with individual Jedi.

I know, but legend is trying to overpower his favourite era jedi trying to make the PT jedi look shit and i am sick of his rampant kotor fanboyism.

Anyways i think ill concede on our little debate in the kreia/malak vs dooku thread, i am so sick of debating that i can barely even form a proper argument.

I'll stick to trolling on kotor fanwankers for now.

You made a claim: "Revan [will] rape Ventress with the Force for fun!"

I told you to prove it: "Prove it!"

You said that since it had already been proven [it hasn't] you don't need to [you do]. You then asked "Who does have [the proof]?" That is a clear indicator that you do not have any concrete evidence necessary to make objective claims about the character's ability in a versus scenario. Therefore, [b]you have no case. [/B]

No one cares about your interpretation of my statement. If you did not understand correctly the context of the statement that is not my fault. I already re-phrase for your understanding which you never answered the question.

Right, Revan who knowledge and mastery was the reason why Bane became as powerful as he did. Who display great force mastery in force lighting, force bonding (which he specialized in), the ability to ripped a language from one’s mind and implant basic (something Darth Caedus could not do). Revan also knew force drain which Ventress has no defense against. Neither any of the other force abilities mention for Revan.

To defeat in hand to hand combat (notice the term hand to hand) Mandalore the Ultimate. Revan was not Mandalore first encounter with a Jedi. Revan defeated the greatest warriors of his time. Ah! You already knew this but it is not enough for you.

If you want to say that the warriors that Revan defeated were weak, prove it, vecause Star Wars history states they were great and extraordinary warriors.

Originally posted by Publius II
No one has ever proven a damn thing about Revan's ability with the Force. Not once. That's why all of the intelligent people continuously label him an "unknown" and insist that he not be used in the versus forum, because we [b]don't know what he's capable of. [/B]

If Revan is an unknown then your answer in this thread should be I do not know. Not Ventress will win. Stop stating your opinion as if it is fact.

Faunus you will defend Kreia and Malak in force abilities against Dooku in another thread but Revan who first plunder Malachor V where all there abilities was learn does not know any of these abilities to use against Ventress? Guess what you don’t have to be patient anymore I will simply stop responding to your bias statements.

Specialty in certain techniques is not conducive of a greater combatant and/or Force-user.

I can't even understand the last sentence.

And stop being an idiot. Your statement was rather clear, and I'll post it a third time for everyone to see:

Revan will continue to Force rape Ventress for fun!
What about that requires special interpretation?

Right, Revan who knowledge and mastery was the reason why Bane became as powerful as he did.
Revan's knowledge. Nothing is said of his mastery.

And Bane became as powerful as he did because he was uniquely powerful, ambitious, and a prodigious learner. Revan's holocron appears to have been more useful as a philosophical guidebook than anything.

Who display great force mastery in force lighting,
Probably blocked by lightsabers.

Correct.

Don't put words in my mouth. His defeat of those three does not put him on the level of someone like Ventress, who is likely one of the greatest duelists of her era. You know, the PT era, prime of the Jedi and all that.

If Revan is an unknown then your answer in this thread should be I do not know. Not Ventress will win. Stop stating your opinion as if it is fact.
Go find where I said Ventress would win. Go ahead, quote me.

Lies are sort of hard to pull off when everyone can see what's actually been said.

Context is good. Also, both Traya and Malak have actual cutscenes depicting some application of the Force. Revan's cutscenes consist of him taking his mask off, twirling his lightsaber, or getting blown up.

Guess what you don’t have to be patient anymore I will simply stop responding to your bias statements.

Had he ever dueled a Force-user before?

Jango Fett was killed by Mace Windu and that too after he was heavily wounded by a beast and his Jet Packs failed to start. Obi-Wan failed to sub-due him.
Obi-Wan was being shot at by the cannons of a starfighter.

Calo Nord was also a powerful bounty hunter with count-less victories to comphrehend his skills in combat. Only Revan killed him.
Had he ever fought a prominent Force-user prior to his confrontation with Revan?

You may not care, but those 3 were powerful and skilled warriors, who couldn't be tackled by "average" Jedi or others. Specially the Mandalore - The Ultimate was no push-over for even powerful Jedi. So such victories do speak highly about Revan' combat skills.

So what?

The word "MANY" has no limits. Bandon might have killed much more. And so did Revan (according to Kriea).

Prove he did, or it's irrelevant. Then prove that the quality of the Jedi killed by Bandon was comparable to the quality of those that fell to Ventress.

So according to your logic, every Sith Lord who knows Force Lightning is on par with a Nightsister but couldn't be better? 🙄
No, smartass, according to my logic simply knowing Force-lightning isn't an indicator of prominence or power.

I never said she was weak. But she isn't necessarily special in the grand scheme of things. Ventress decidedly is.

And it proves that Revan was likely among the most powerful Jedi in Star Wars history because few have displayed combat feats that may rival or exceed Revan'.
Plenty have, even those who aren't so prominent. Kit Fisto single-handedly overpowered General Grievous in about a minute; all evidence points to Grievous >>> Calo Nord or Yusanis.

What do you think Revan was doing in the Star Forge? Drinking Martini! 🙄
Prove that he fought past everyone and everything to get Malak instead of, say, sneaking past most of them.

When Ventress will take on and defeat a powerful Dark Lord of the Sith, than you will have a point. However! You don't have one as of yet.

I was about to agree with your whole statement but I had to re-think it again. As for a greater combatant I agree but as for force user I do not agree. Darth Nihilius, Sion, and Sidious who specialize in certain techniques are considered some on the greatest force users.

Then we separate Sidious who not only specialize but who’s knowledge of the force both light and darkside made him the most powerful Sith Lord ever. The techniques in which we know that Revan specialize in gives us some insight into how powerful he was in the force. We also know he had a massive amount of knowledge both light and darkside.

I do not see how someone who displayed power in TK and speed can compete with a force user who’s knowledge and mastery changed Bane’s life forever. Ventress no matter how good she is in saber combat has not shown the ability to counter force lighting or the other techniques I’ve mention.

Everyone who Ventress defeated force mastery and knowledge is not greater than that of Revan.

Right someone who is describe as the heart of the force, strong in the force, subjugated everyone during his time, had everyone in awe of his power including Kreia (Before and after she became a Sith Lord) and Sion, had the same teachings as Bane and more but was not more powerful than Ventress?

So the game makers of Kotor did not center on showing all of Revan’s techniques but let the user hear about them. So Malak knows and he was taught by? Kreia knows and learned where? But Revan who is described and having a hungry for knowledge never learned those techniques or used them during a time of war?

So your best argument is I did not see so I don't know.
