Darth Sidious (Palpatine) vs Snape

A character should not allowed to have assumed feats in excess of their seen-on-screen ones..

But feats below that tier are acceptable. IE:

Which are within McClaneian capability range?

A) Wrecking buildings, highways, Jets, Helicopters, ludicrous luck and escapism feats, blowing up 747s, defeating terrorists, miltary, mercs, etc etc

B) Flying to Warp 8 propelled by only his anal gasses, to Pluto and back in under 7 seconds, whilst solving where Shergar is, solving the Kennedy assassination and commissioning a new series of "Married with children", saving the world by bringing the benevolent wisdom of Al Bundy back to the masses.

C) Washing his car (A basic feat that is known to be within his capability like that shouldn't be denied be cause it didn't take place on screen.)

A is obvious and undisputed.
It would be ludicrous to accept B.
It would be ludicrous not to accept C, if you accept A.

Pretty easy to see when looking at it like that, huh?

Good post. But McClane was never shown using a shotgun, so he can never use one in a versus thread.

I disagree.

I've never fired a deer slug from a shotgun and I guarentee I could kill batman with a deer slug, first attempt. 🙂

See answer C.

Did. So I guess Snape, more powerful than Bellatrix, Fenrir and Crabbe, can use fiendfyre then.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Is it a spell he'd choose to use though...?
Thats the differing thing..

Thats whats different from natural everyday ability.

John McClane for example if probably very capable of pressing a button and detonating nukes that would destroy everything in a city.

But we have to temper that with "Don't be silly, McClane wouldn't do that to a whole populous" and other bits of common sense.

In your Snape argument, I would say (To make it a fairer comparison to what you're saying) that if Snape can run, fight, do stuff, that he might be able to say turn on a light switch.

Why wouldn't he choose to do it? Oh yeah, because he'd kill Sidious and you don't like it.

Bong.

Ummmmm no.

I think Im not a factor in the scenario.

Too late. Snape can use fiendfyre.

He can DREAM of using Fiendfyre as he burns with force lightning. 😉

Nah, he's faster, I've proven it.

Nah ya didn't. Precog will take care of whatever you suggest Snape do.

Cause literally WHATEVER Snape does will be countered before Snape even manages to do it.

Uh, yeah, I did.

Didn't. 🙂

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yeah DDM and I both did. Wishing it not true aint gonna change it.

Nah. You're wrong. Very wrong.

And wishing that was untrue isn't gonna change it. 😛

In less than one second, the following happens:

1. Harry casts a spell at Snape.

2. Snape turns and blocks said spell.

3. In the same motion, Snape returns a spell of is own.

4, Harry is hit by Snape's spell.

All in under one second. No force user ever did anything like that in under one second. Never.

Once again, there's your proof.

Doesn't matter. Palpatine will have seen the danger coming and avoided it countering with deadly force.

Pre-cog, baby.

Once again, 3...2.....1.....GO.

Neither may attack until GO.

Snape gets his spell off faster.

Simple.
