Who's The Best Swordsman?

In all of movie-dom who is the most skilled character to wield a blade. The following are notable sword wielders I've noticed over the years. If a character is not present then add them to the debate by all means. Feel free to make a top ten list or rank them as you see fit. Discuss.

Notable Swordsmen
Yoda

Obi-Wan Kenobi
Darth Maul
Morpheus
Neo
Beatrix Kiddo
Zorro

Pure skill? Toss up between Mamba and Zorro.

Pure skill. ✅

Let's not forget that Zorro uses a different kind of sword: rapier. Jedi a lightsaber. Aragorn a longsword. Katsumoto a katana. We must take these into account.

Forgive me but who's Mamba?

Beatrix Kiddo.

Oh, well.......that's stylized so of course. Damn Tarantino! 😠

I couldn't decide to include Jedi/Sith in this or not because of there other abilities that they require to duel.

Indeed. Without the force, they are just regular guys.

Well, they retain there skill but would be without there limited pre-cog.

OK, so the force abilities they use for dueling counts, but thats it? No precog? No other powers?

They get no abilities or pre-cog. We are just judging there skill.

Then I am going with my original answer.

What about Blade? Memnon? He blocks multiple shot arrows with his sword..........and he has not the Force.

Dude from the Scorpion king?

Without the force the jedi/sith would be heavily disadvantaged...I hate the stupid debates in the SW forums when people say "who'd win in 1: sabres 2: force 3: all out"...As if somehow their sabre skills and fighting ability were completely seperate from their force abilities.

Can you imagine how useless Yoda would be without his using the force to leap around like a crazy maniac?

As for pure skill...Most of the people based in real world terms on that list would die badly...All the people from the Last Samurai would go 1st along with Memnon.

Not saying they're not skilled...But how would they compete against so many enemies that are basically superhuman (some to ridiculous extents)

That also takes out Zorro...I'd then say Aragorn would go along with any other fantasy or ancient warriors such as Achilles (provided we're not saying that his legend of invulnerabilty apart from his heel is true)

Peter Pan and Hook would go also. As would Wayne and Gul

In the end i'd say it would be Wade and Neo...Neo winning simply due to the fact that he can exhibit far greater strength and speed. Most of the programmes he fought in the Chateau were far in excess of any normal human and most likely would have easily killed Morpheus and Trinity.

Wade is also exceptionally fast and accurate (who else from that list could cut bullets in half and take on a room full of semi-auto weilding men with only 2 sword?...Not Nathan bloody Algren that's for sure)

Correct.

good list, but i'd wait until after G.I.Joe comes out to judge Snake Eyes as well as Storm Shadow

Bah! I already know he's skilled from just the trailer.

trailers are meant to deceive, to get people into the theater, but I will say this Snake eyes and Storm Shadow better have a good story and great feats

Agreed. I think it will be good.

If we can add to the list then I'll just say how can u put Snake Eyes in there and not Stormshadow.

Wade Wilson. Dude was doing crazy shit before he got powers/became Deadpool.
