how does that beg for proof moreso then him not doing anything for 800 years? what im saying is logical whereas what youre saying isnt. it seems to me that youre arguing with me simply for the sake of being contrary or a devils advocate. do you personally genuinely believe that the man sat there for 800 years and didnt bother to work on honing his skills?
Originally posted by Dr McBeefingtonWhich is no different than you saying that all he may have done is "occasionally spar" which would also require proof. To assume that he did nothing to improve both his saber skills and force prowess is ridiculous.
Nope, but you're implying he's been training consistently for 800 years, which begs proof. You're also implying it's only because of his age and experience that he's that good, which begs for more proof.
youre point doesnt make any sense.
its logical to assume that he is at the leel that he is at because of the years hes had to improve upon himself and become wiser and more experienced. 😬
and you havent actually provided any support to your logic. essentially this is your statement.
"yoda being as good as he is because of the years of training hes had is dumb. just because."

No, you said he's at that level ONLY because he's 800-900 years old, which is retarded(shut up RH)as hell.
Put it like this.... if you're practicing free throws for basketball, do you think you'd get better after 40 or 50 times shooting it, or around 900 times shooting it? The more you practice, the better you get. Period. For it to be mentioned that Dooku has "decades" of experience as a reason why he is as good as he is, then it would certainly be logical to mention the centuries of experience that Yoda has. Why are you so opposed to that rationale?
He's not a prodigy like Anakin. He had to work at and hone his skills... and he happens to have had longer to do so given his specie's life expectancy.
Thanks, I appreciate it after your 20 second responses. I'll just leave everyone who reads this thread with this, for a good laugh for labor day weekend:
ROFLROFLROFL. So wait, Anakin is a prodigy, Yoda is a prodigy, Mace is a prodigy, but Yoda..ISNT? Wow that made my day. I can see why the smart people don't come to KMC on saturday. Absolutely hilarious.
I can see what you mean completely. I said he wasn't a prodigy like Anakin, which he wasn't. Anakin being the chosen one, was set to be the most powerful Jedi ever and he was only, what, 23? Turned all of Dooku's knowledge and skill into a joke, and could conceivably contend with ANYONE in pure saber combat. He was a fraction of Yoda's age and on his level with a saber. He was simply prodigious.
Too much is still unknown about Yoda so we don't know his beginnings. However, if you would like to prove that he was a prodigy of Anakin's caliber, then please do so.

Nobody is Anakin, nobody is Luke. By that logic, Dooku isn't a prodigy either. Neither is Bane, Mace, or anyone else for that matter, just Anakin. Seeing as how Yoda had the 2nd highest recorded midichlorian count in history, and was the most powerful Jedi of all time until Luke came along, the idea of him not being a prodigy is ludicrous.
In no particular order...
Yoda (He's F*ckin Yoda, nuff said)
Obi-Wan (Master of Soresu)
Darth Revan ( No feats, but it was stated he was the best swordsmen in his era, and looking at him was like staring into the heart of the Force)
Luke Skywalker( He's Luke Skywalker, nuff said. Also, he and Jacen's fight was widely hailed as the most intense, fastest saber duel ever. He also beat Lumiya.)
Jacen Solo/Darth Sidious ( Same as above)
Kas'im ( He was already fleshed out in an earlier post)
Darth Bane
Darth Sidious
Kyle Katarn( No idea why)
Mace Windu (Sam Jackson is kick ass)
As for Yoda, simply being the Grand Master of the order for as long as he was is enough. Plus he's the only one brave enough, and skilled enough to actually use Trakata in combat.
Originally posted by Dr McBeefingtonOk, and the notion of 900 years not aiding in his ability to be as good as he is, is also ludicrous. That's all I'm saying.
