When has Harry apparated alone? When has reducto been used non-verbally? When has Sectumpsempra shown cutting through anything more than muscle? When has Harry ever used bombarda?

That's not what our argument was: It was precog. Vader moved fast enough to block blaster bolts with his HAND.

Our other argument is that Harry cannot speak once force choke begins and he willl need to keep his head about him, (Instead of clutching at his throat, like every other non-force sensitive who has ever encountered Force choke does) and then cast a really good unblockable, undodgeable nonverbal spell.

You need to provide that spell.

It does not need to be instantaneous.

Harry will still be unable to damage Vader in any significant way, especially given the handicap that impaired bloodflow offers to consciousness.

Spoiler:
non-verbal spell require consciousness to work.

Han fired into the same place, over and over, dude.

Provide what spell? The sectumsempra vid is chocked full of them.

Unless you are implying that Vader can force choke AND dodge at the same time?

Sectumsempra was not nonverbal.

The fire-balls before could be blocked by vader's hand or lightsaber, as shown in ESB. Energy attacks are not the way to go against a Jedi. Does harry have anything more deadly?

a nonverbal spell will stun the shit outta Vader. After that, reducto, bombarda, or avada kedavra.

Harry's never used Avada Kedavra. So he can't use it here.

where do we see one of those spells stunning anyone? I saw a couple of adolescents who could dodge them simply by dodging behind cement walls. So vader huddles behind a crypt and keeps choking Harry (Who can't move btw.... since force choke lifts someone up off the ground) How is this going to help Harry?

Vader huddles behind a crypt? crylaugh

is laughter your way of saying "crap didn't think of that when I was describing the only possible way that Harry has any prayer in this duel?"

The Screwtape Letters
"Among flippant people the Joke is always assumed to have been made. No one actually makes it"

Posting a laughing emoticon doesn't change the fact that Harry hasn't shown himself able to get through a stone barrier, especially while incapacitated from lack of air (and panic) to say nothing about being lifted bodily from the ground.

No, laughter is a way of diffusing the the uncertainty. It helps to reassure the ego that "it's okay, just mock them" will make itself feel better.

Vader wouldn't hide behind a crypt, man.

and there we have it. Potter's one chance of victory is if Vader doesn't bother to duck behind cover when attacked with attacks that can't penetrate stone.

If he is that foolish, then I agree with you. Though you seem to have gimped him his common sense...

Not Vader's style, dude.

I beg to differ. The ESB duel shows that Vader is more than willing to use the terrain to his advantage. He goes out of Luke's line of sight several times. He uses the Force against Luke several times. Once, he uses the Force against Luke while out of his line of sight. This tactic is well within Vader's "style."

Vader used a similar tactic in RotJ while pursuing Luke aboard the Death Star. Vader is not a berserker, not as shown in the films.

So you really think he'll hide? Like a *****?

if that's what it took to win. Stepping out of someone's line of fire isn't "Hiding" its "continuing to choke them to death."

I was taught that using profanity shows your inability to come up with a synonym.

Vader has, above all, been shown to be an intelligent and methodical combatant. If he discovers that none of Harry's attacks can penetrate a stone barrier, he will discover a stone barrier. This will allow any number of other, more roundabout techniques. He might try "dun moch" (which is just the fanon word for mind-raping an enemy) or he might simply apply telekinesis to Harry's demise. (Force Choke is, as Lucien noted, a video game concept. Vader's TK is easily powerful enough to tear apart a human.)
