If you are all for raw Force, may I recommend the Dark side? The cookie is a lie, but they do have muscle.

phew, thanks, my master always warned me of the darkside but I guess ill give it a try.

You posted a link and a vague argument. I do not find that very constructive, especially since Starkiller never was our common personification of the Dark side of the Force.
I didn't feel the need to go into a deep argument because everyone has said what I was going to say. I felt like a couldn't just post "Starkiller wins", so I just posted that.

Kain would be thrown like a toy by Jedi far lesser than Starkiller. There are Younglings/Padawans that would throw him around like a rag-doll. He is not very heavy.
The thing with Starkiller and people arguing in his favor, something that bothers me, is his Star Destroyer feat. People look at Starkiller and thinks "He brought down a Star Destroyer, he is a God among ants" without looking at the whole picture. Many ignore the fact that he cubed an AT/ST, despite the fact that in a versus, that feat is so much more useful.

In a versus, I much rather use his Farsight, his ability to dismantling his Lightsaber, his repulse ability, his Force Lightning and various other abilities. The fact that he pulled a Star Destroyer down from the sky shine so greatly among his feats, that people tend to forget what really makes a Jedi win a battle.
Many that debate for Starkiller and others, would not make good Jedi, because all they think about is his awesome raw power.

I see exactly what you mean and in the end it's just another way, BETTER way, for him to win the battle.

The better way to win is to not give Kain a chance to make it = Saber throw/Force crush.

Aaah, nooooo! I can't win! If I strike you down, you shall become more powerful than I can possibly imagine!

Or something.

What good is a saber throw or force crush, Kain could quite easily escape such things through mist or teleportation? theoretically even by going ethereal.

Not if he is cut in half or the size of a cube

Well I would like to see him do it so I can measure how quickly he does it in comparison to how quick Kain can become mist, not that it would make a difference. Kains physical form is technically dead, it being in two piecies does not logically make a difference.

Kain is technically living dead, but that's again just bickering over details. The fact of the matter is that Kain has been physically defeated before and there is no saying he could not be again.

Galen's advantage lies in fighting Kain on his terms rather than Kain's. Sneaking around, attacking from behind or from the shadows and moves of the sort. But that is just when it comes to the throw of the saber, which is relatively fast if taking in consideration Kain's shown reaction time.
Force Crush is instant and with Kain lacking precognition or any way of properly tracking Starkiller, there is really no means of fighting him for Kain, which consequentially ends up with the fight being on Starkiller's terms.

But no, Fay is much more potent than Galen, so what she has done is not within compare for him. Galen is both young and inexperienced, while Fay has centuries to fall back on, not taking in consideration her abnormal level of connection to the Force.

You are joking... Right??? Starkiller laid Vader on his ass and then managed to put up a fight against the Emperor. Fay has no chance against Galen. None at all.

Kain has not been phyiscally defeated since having the sole reason he "should" be alive has been torn out, technically destroying his brain, an army, a leg would be irrelvent and unless the molecules of those piecies are completly destroyed through being atomised, kain should logically speaking be able to reform from this whole again.

Force crush instant? from the films I always believed it took a few moments or seconds for a force user to call upon enough strength to crush something, in the attack of clones (episode 2?) It seemed to take even master Yoda some control to lift that beam from falling on Obi and Anakin and it took some force of will to break rubble and piecies that were being sent at him. although "instant" is a strange word to use since in fiction most things take some time.

So?

Fay got mortally wounded by Asajj... She stands no chance. Not to mention Marek's feats are completley out of her class.

Right, because the entire scenario was as simple as that. Ventress wounded Fay and that was it, outclassed and butchered. No further factions to take in consideration, no aspects you are missing. You have the battle all laid out. Ventress was so much better than Fay, Fay never stood a chance.

What was it you said? Oh yeah, "You are joking... Right???"

Did I ever say Ventress outclassed her? No. She was still mortally wounded none the less. Marek has her completley outclassed in force ability and saber skills. No way she can take him.

Finally. I didn't think you'd catch on so quickly. Now let me ask you this in return to your question: Did I ever say Fay would defeat Starkiller?

*GASP!* Are you saying Fay is not as good as Starkiller at saber battle? Whatever gave you that idea? It can not possibly be the fact that Fay to our knowledge has never, ever wielded a lightsaber?

As for their Force potency, I wouldn't mind hearing you elaborating why Marek is so much superior Fay.

A valid point. But you claim she is more potent which means more powerful.

Yep. Which is why I said it.

HE can redirect a SD and block Sidious's lightning with out a saber! For as long as Yoda mind you.

1. Potent does not equal powerful. There is a significant difference.

2. Cute 😛

3. I will go ahead and act shocked you brought up his redirection of the Star Destroyer. So blocking Force Lightning makes him prominent in the Force, eh? I guess that makes Darth Maul God, who walks straight through Force Lightning.

Darth Maul did not block it. He walked through it. Not to mention it was simply the lightning of a Witch. Marek blocked the most powerful Sith Lord's lightning. Sidious's lightning can fry people instantly and the pain was compared to stars igninting... It's not even close. So far the only other character in they mythos who could block such lightning was Yoda the "most powerful foe darkness had ever known".

I wrote an elaborate post yesterday but my computer crashed, so I will just post the brief version here:

- Absorbing Force Lightning is part of the general Force absorb ability, an ability shown to reoccur often enough to not be rare in Star Wars. Obi-Wan Kenobi has absorbed Force Lightning, and in Obi-Wan's own words, Fay was the most powerful of the group on Queyta, the group which included Obi-Wan.

And to my memory, Obi-Wan felt insignificant in their presence because they were all so much more powerful. Legends, while he was a mere master.
