Battlezone: Voldemort (Quanchi) vs. Yoda (Vos)

Greetings,

The title is self-explanatory. Quanchi will be arguing for Voldemort. I will be arguing for Yoda. Remember, this is the movie versions of both characters only. We will be debating for several days until we both agree we are finished with our match.

I will be submitting my opening argument soon. It isn't Tuesday yet,
🙂.

Please reserve your opinions until the debate is over. Comment in the link provided:

Battlezone: Voldemort (Quanchi) vs. Yoda (Vos)

Opening Argument (Vos)

I. Objective: Prove that the movie depiction of Yoda would defeat the movie depiction of Voldemort.

II. Assumptions
1. Setting: Geonosis Arena (neutral location)
2. Voldemort does not have any Horcruxes. Yoda need only kill Voldemort once to end the battle.
3. The two combatants are standing about 200 feet/60 meters apart, and are battle-ready (Voldemort with his wand drawn, and Yoda with his lightsaber ignited).
4. Magic is a form of energy.
5. Both combatants have basic knowledge about the other. Therefore, Voldemort knows that Yoda uses a lightsaber and can draw upon the Force; Yoda would know Voldemort can perform magic via a wand.

Yoda's Powers/Abilities:

1. Precognition:
“…see things before they happen. That’s why he appears to have such quick reflexes. It’s a Jedi trait.”
- Qui-Gon Jinn (TPM)

All Jedi have the ability of foresight. They are able to ‘see’ their opponent’s movements before they happen, and it’s this Force power that provides them with an incredible advantage in combat. For example, in Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon Jinn demonstrates an example of precognition/Jedi reflexes: Precognition 1 [2:30] Frog tongues, an ‘earthly resemblance of Gungan tongues, can be stuck out at 70mph, and prey can be captured in a blink of an eye! For Jinn to grab Jar Jar Bink’s tongue requires definite prescience.

Yoda is the Grand Master of the Jedi Order and the most powerful Jedi ever up to and during the time of the Prequel Trilogy era. His sense of precognition would far surpass that of any other Force-sensitives. In Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Yoda displays an example of his foresight during Order 66: Precognition 2 [0:13]. In the span of 1.5 seconds, Yoda is able to behead two Clones, with one being a Clone trooper Commander. The Revenge of the Sith script expounds, “CLONE COMMANDER GREE and ONE OFFICER walk onto the balcony toward YODA. YODA stands looking over the battlefield below. When they are close enough, the CLONES reveal their weapons and fire. But faster than the CLONES can reveal their weapons, YODA ignites his lightsaber, leaps in the air, and beheads both CLONES.” With bewildering speed, Yoda displays his advanced precognition and ability to detect hostile intentions (Force Sense).

One can see why this would play a crucial factor against Voldemort. Yoda would ‘notice’ the Dark Wizard’s spell before it is released from the wand; as the spell is ejected and en route to the Jedi, the Grand Master would already be a step ahead and either dodging or rushing towards Voldemort.

2. Force Sense/Detection of Hostile Intentions:
Similar to precognition, another universal ability for Jedi is Force Sense. Jedi can sense the feelings of others and the ripples in the Force to anticipate looming threats (especially the presence of the Dark Side) and the approach of enemies without visible observation. Yoda could feel the thousands of Jedi killed across the galaxy in ROTS thanks to Force Sense.

See second paragraph above for the Order 66 example. Like precognition, Force Sense would hugely benefit Yoda. Since Voldemort reeks of the Dark Side, even if he were to spam Apparition or cloak himself, the element of surprise would definitely fail. The Grand Master would perceive the strong ripples in the Force pervaded by the Dark Wizard, and sense his approach.

More coming...

3. Force Speed

Yoda has shown extreme speed in combat. We can see how fast he moves in his duel against Dooku: Duel 1 [1:38] and in the Jedi incursion against the 501st Legion: Duel 2.

Of course, it’s the duel with Sidious that truly portrays Yoda’s legendary agility: Duel 3 [1:59].

Mind you, this is the same Dark Lord of the Sith who slaughtered three members of the Jedi Council (Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin, and Kit Fisto) in 9 seconds: Duel 4 [0:23].

Yoda not only managed to keep up with Sidious’s speed, but possessed such incredible movement that the Sith Lord had to retreat to higher ground from being overwhelmed.

This occurs 2:43 in the duel, in which Palpatine proceeds to unleash an avalanche of repulsorpods at Yoda. These Senate pods were tremendously large, even to a fully-grown Gungan: Yoda was massively dwarfed by these structures.

Based on the screenshot at 3:00, Yoda must be several hundred feet below Sidious in the Senate chamber. Considering the tremendous force Palpatine brutally flings the pods at Yoda (thanks to Sidious’s powerful telekinesis) coupled with the acceleration of gravity, these balconies were coming at the Grand Master (they plummet a large vertical distance in seconds) at high velocity. We don’t know how many Yoda could have dodged before 2:43, but he proceeds to evade 6 repulsorpods. In the span of one second [2:56-2:57], he moves the distance of one balcony, and then three seconds later, jumps over another and lands a distance away, covering a significant amount of ground that could only be accomplished with blazing speed.

At 3:44, Yoda is subjected to the Sith Lord’s deadly Force Storm at point-blank range. Though he loses his lightsaber, the Grand Master is swift enough to counter with a potent Force Absorption/Armor.

Speed is arguably Yoda’s greatest advantage over Voldemort. Other Jedi may not have the quickness to evade the Dark Wizard’s spells or the capacity to engage him in close quarters. However, Yoda has such rapidity that Voldemort could fire his first spell only to find a lightsaber at his neck the next instant.

4. Telekinesis

Dramatic instances of Yoda’s telekinetic prowess have been highlighted throughout the Star Wars saga.

In Episode V: Empire Strikes Back, Yoda lifts an X-Wing from a bog: TK 1 [4:10]. An X-wing must weigh several tons, and yet Yoda is able to lift the starfighter and direct it aerially without once seeming pressed.

In Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Yoda displays his telekinetic might against Dooku: TK 2 [0:19]. He easily catches and hurls away car-sized heavy machinery and chunks of the hangar roof. Later, Dooku tries to collapse a massive pillar onto Skywalker and Kenobi, which Yoda is able to grasp with the Force, and move away from the two Jedi.

The most eye-popping example of Yoda’s telekinesis occurs during the Duel in the Senate Chamber against Sidious: TK 3. Before I go further, in the beginning of the video, Yoda, with a flick of his hand, manages to knock out two members of the Emperor’s Royal Guard.

Anyway, at 3:10, we see Yoda literally stopping (to a complete halt) the progress of the repulsorpod (which, as I pointed out earlier, has extreme momentum), having such control to spin it with an incredible frequency of rotation, and throwing it back at Palpatine, against gravity, with equally-matched speed.

TK is Yoda’s second modus operandi of dispatching Voldemort. If the Grand Master were to lose his lightsaber, he could still toss the Dark Wizard around like a ragdoll. Or he could easily Force Pull the wand out of Voldemort’s hand, rendering his foe useless.

More coming...

5. Force Valor

Due to his old age limitations, Yoda heavily used Force Valor to a significant degree, allowing the Force power to bolster his resolve, accuracy, and speed.

Unless he tries to subdue Yoda with AOE (Area of Effect) spells (which Yoda can jump away from), Voldemort will have considerable difficulty landing a spell on the Grand Master. We see in the Harry Potter films that simply running to the side can allow a wizard/witch to avoid an incoming spell. Now imagine Voldemort attempting to connect a hit onto a 2.1 foot creature scampering around like the Roadrunner on steroids.

6. Tutaminis

Tutaminis refers to Force powers that allow sensitives the ability to block, absorb, and redirect energy attacks. Yoda is a master practitioner of tutaminis.

Obi-Wan Kenobi demonstrates that energy attacks can be blocked with a lightsaber, as shown here: Tutam 1 [0:29].

Later, when Yoda arrives to fight Dooku, the Grand Master uses his bare hands to gather and redirect Force Lightning.

However, the greater version of phenomenon happens against Sidious in the Senate chamber. The Dark Lord of the Sith unleashes a relentless Force Storm at point-blank range at the Grand Master. Yet, we all know what happens next...

Since magic is a form of energy similar to Force powers, I venture to say that Yoda himself can block spells with his bare hands. Certain spells, such as Fiendfyre, would be logically impossible.However, I state that Yoda can block, gather, and redirect Avada Kadavra with his bare hands utilizing Force Absorption/Energy Dissipation similar to how he did against Sidious’s deadly Force Storm.

More coming...

Here is the repulsorpod image that failed to upload previously:

IV. Voldemort:

1. Characterization

I will leave a discussion on Voldemort’s powers/abilities for Quanchi. However, I won’t deny that the Dark Wizard has a plethora of wicked spells at his disposal. Nevertheless, how he uses them in combat is a different story. In the movies, we see Voldemort as always aiming for a fatal stroke. The first move he always does is a powerful decapitating/killing attack (most likely his trademark Avada Kadavra). Against Dumbledore, he only proceeded to more flamboyant spells after his initial blast stalemated with that of the Headmaster’s.

Voldemort’s arrogance and narcissism will cause the Dark Lord to underestimate his “little, green friend.” Heck, the He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was chuckling in admiration of his own wizardcraft against his duel with Dumbledore himself. He will hold his ground and attempt to destroy Yoda with lethal force. Therefore, he won’t be spamming Apparition or any instant movement spells. His lack of movement will play into Yoda’s hands.

2. Weaknesses

• Voldemort’s fundamental weakness is actually his only weapon: the wand. Though capable of wandless magic, Voldemort would be unable to perform the advanced spells in his repertoire without his instrument. He has shown that he can do basic telekinesis with a hand motion during his confrontation with Harry Potter in the Little Hangleton graveyard. However, it’s possible that holding a wand in the other hand might have aided, or even allowed, him in this capability. If Yoda can disarm and/or break Voldemort’s wand, the battle would be in the Grand Master’s overwhelming favor. Yoda, on the other hand, has an advantage in that he doesn’t need a conduit for his Force powers; nor does he have to utter an enchantment to invoke them. If Voldemort disarms Yoda’s lightsaber, the Jedi has the ability to Force Pull back his weapon; even if the Dark Wizard destroys the lightsaber, Yoda can still kill Voldemort with TK blows.

• Voldemort’s nature suggests he won’t make use of heavy Apparition and instead subject himself to being a sitting duck for Yoda. Wizarding duels usually involve two opponents a short distance away pummeling spells at each other. Voldemort would be heavily unprepared for an opponent that moves extensively in all dimensions (forwards, backwards, left, right, up, and down). On the other hand, Yoda might possibly recognize Voldemort as similar to a Clone trooper who holds his position and attempts to continuously blast away until he finally hits his target.

• Voldemort, though a master of inconceivable Dark Arts, is still a human and under human reflexes. None of the duels involving Voldemort have him displaying acute reflexes; he ends up submerged within Dumbledore’s aqua bubble- Yoda would have clearly jumped and avoided that water altogether.

Hey, please comment here:

http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f102/t553185.html

A main battlezone rule is to not comment in a match thread, at least until it is finished as deemed by the two participants.

Opening Argument: Quanchi

1. Objective: Movie Voldemort will indeed defeat movie Yoda.

2.Assumptions

a. Setting:Geonosis Arena (neutral location)
b. This fight is to the death or destruction of the other person's body so if Yoda destroys Voldemort's body he wins. That isn't going to happen just saying though. 🙂
c. 3. The two combatants are standing about 200 feet/60 meters apart, and are battle-ready (Voldemort with his wand drawn, and Yoda with his lightsaber ignited).
d. Lightsaber like magic is a form of energy.
e. Both combatants have basic knowledge about the other. Therefore, Voldemort knows that Yoda uses a lightsaber and can draw upon the Force; Yoda would know Voldemort can perform magic via a wand. Voldemort is wielding the elder wand from the last film Deathly Hallows part 2.

Voldemort's powers/abilities:
1.Telekinesis:

All wizards have this ability due to their wands. Voldemort is exceptionally skilled here with amazing precise control over what he wants to be moved whether it be inanimate objects(doesn't seem to matter either if it's a lot of them either) or a person/opponent who is actively resisting him. Here is an example of him forcing an opponent that of Harry Potter to bow and forcibly obey the rules of a wizard duel. He knocks hm to the ground as well as loosens the sickle trapping Harry Potter in the cemetery prior to. Around 4:55 in is when he forces him to bow and in this scene you'll see all that I described.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyT2nY7ADnY

This isn't the only tk he shows off in the movies but it's all I will be getting into initially here. I will touch upon it again throughout the debate to ram the point home. I just wanted an initial video to back up my claims and to get those who aren't familiar with this character.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Voldemort returns (hungarian)

2.The Cruciatus Curse also known as the torture curse. It renders it's victims in unspeakable agony/torment leaving them seemingly helpless. To use this curse you must verbally speak the incantation Crucio while pointing your wand at the victim. In the same video you saw earlier I will repost it while you specifically watch for Voldemort to use it briefly on Harry Potter. Note that he is toying with Harry Potter before he ultimately kills him. Harry is at the mercy of Voldemort while under this however briefly he kept torturing him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyT2nY7ADnY

There are three unforgivable curses in the Harry Potter universe. This video gives you a brief description on each one. This video also backs up my earlier statement that this curse renders the victim basically helpless under the extreme torture occurring to the victim.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBFkA9mAlX4

3.Imperius Curse is an unforgivable curse which casts the victim completely under the spell/will of the caster. I won't be really going into this one as well because Voldemort didn't use it really in combat despite being behind this multiple times according to Alastor Moody in the first clip which gives a brief description of the three unforgivable curses. Someone with exceptional willpower or strength can also resist this and to be honest I don't see it personally working on Yoda anyways.

4.The Elder Wand is the most powerful wand ever created by Death himself. This is in Voldemort's possession and won't resist his attempts to control it since this is outside the confines and isn't directly opposing Harry Potter due to the fact he rightly beat Draco Malfoy who disarmed Dumbledore to become the true owner of the wand.

This video is the story of the Deathly Hallows mainly for the purpose of backing up my claim it is indeed the most powerful wand ever created by death himself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=bN1_h_eGitE

This video is Voldemort finally gaining possession of the elder wand. Make a note of how he uses simple force with his powers/wand to break into Dumbledore's crypt initially. At the end of the video we see exactly how powerful his energy blasts are simply from the elder wand.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZzlnIuYfMk

.

5.Apparition/Flight

Apparation is a magical transportation from one destination to another by visualizing the next destination in their mind. Flight should be self explanatory but I will give a few examples.

I will show one example of Voldemort apparating later on when I break down his duel at the end of the Order of the Phoenix. Voldemort apparates against Harry Potter at the end of Deathly Hallows Part 2 in combat as well but due to it still being in the theater won't look for a video. I hope you understand the reasoning Vos if not I will see what I can do if you openly dispute this feat.

Here towards the end of the video is Voldemort. The deatheater( a name for a follower of Voldemort) backs off of Harry Potter and allows Voldemort the chance to kill him. Voldemort has stated he has to be the one to kill Harry Potter. See how quickly he closes in on Harry Potter and how accurate he is despite this wand breaking on him. This wasn't Voldemort's old wand nor was it the elder wand at that point yet but we still see multiple power lines go down in the process due to his rage at failing once again to kill Harry Potter. Voldemort later apparates out of there the moment he is seen by Harry's allies known as the Orders.

6.Fiendfyre is a type of fire made by dark magic. It's a very powerful spell that is harder to control and isn't easily put out by water either. Draco's friends met a rough end due to a lack of control of this spell which tried consuming everything in the room. Voldemort uses this spell against Dumbledore in their infamous duel in Order of the Phoenix. Voldemort creates a giant snake/basilisk and sets it after Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore sends it back at Voldemort who completely evaporates the dark fire magic to counter Dumbledore.

This video is the duel which shows off many of Voldemort's powers which I have been alluding to in the different subheadings describing his various abilities.

I wanted to cover most of his powers before I posted this epic duel. At the beginning when Harry Potter decides to attack Voldemort instead of Bellatrix see how quickly his reactions are and how easily he disarms Harry Potter using his tk. Also take note of how his energy beams emanating from his wand are matching Dumbledore's and how you still see bolts of energy hitting the walls, all around Dumbledore, and all around Harry Potter damaging the environment as well. This means he can shoot beams at Yoda's light saber and still have outside beams of energy going all over the place which could strike Yoda.

Albus Dumbledore is also wielding the Elder Wand against Voldemort's own wand despite it being nowhere near as powerful and Albus being one of the greatest wizards of all time shows you just how formidable Lord Voldemort is.

After they briefly exchange energy beams back and forth we then see Voldemort easily use fiendfyre in the form of a basilisk(giant snake). Note Voldemort's absolute control of this fire creature whose sole purpose is the destruction of Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore sends the creature back at Voldemort using his Elder Wand but Voldemort easily dissipates the fire showing off incredibly fast reaction time in the heat of a battle with another great wizard of his caliber despite Dumbledore having the far more powerful wand. Please note Yoda can't ever send the fire creature back at Voldemort so this option is off the table.

We next see Albus Dumbledore use his wand to create a water bubble which temporarily traps Voldemort inside it. Voldemort still breaks free and begins channeling dark force/matter at Dumbledore. Dumbledore is resisting until Voldemort releases it against the entire landscape of the environment which also knocks Dumbledore down.

We see the shattered glass then uses by Voldemort's wand to attack Dumbledore who creates a kind of water shield which transforms all of the glass which touches this shield into harmless water. Voldemort then apparates and takes possession of Harry Potter. Dumbledore is helpless to stop this from taking place but Voldemort is repulsed by Harry's goodness (he symbolized everything Voldemort has rejected as in love/humanity). Voldemort then leaves his body and apparates out of there when the Ministry shows up.

7.Avada Kedavra is the last of the unforgivable curses which I purposely saved for last here. It's the killing curse which causes instant death when it hits its intended victim.

Voldemort kills a muggle in goblet of fire with this spell as he also kills some of his own followers in Deathly Hallows part 2. He also goes off when one of his horcruxes is stolen and just starts randomly killing anyone he felt was responsible who happened to be nearby.The curse is final and one hit is all you need to render death. Harry Potter escaped death due to the love protection spell by his mother Lilly Potter who gave her life to accomplish this form of protection. This is what saved Harry Potter as a baby from the killing curse.

Here is a video with a few examples of the curse in action.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NefehSiSbm0

This attack has sealed Yoda's doom.

8.Miscellaneous combat related powers

This is something I want to kind of cover altogether in a broad sense of something he might have only done once or not something covered in detail like the killing curses or other prominent magical abilities in the films. Firstly there's the dark magic he releases like he first did in the Order of the Phoenix duel he had against Albus Dumbledore which he later let loose on the entire room breaking all the glass in the room. Voldemort also uses this dark force/matter against Harry Potter in the Deathly Hallows part 2. I once again can't put up any videos due to it being out presently still at the theatre but the power would definitely hurt Yoda. This attack doesn't seem likely to be fatal if just hit with a blast or so but it did destroy the concrete of the environment around Hogwarts when he was trying to hit Harry Potter with it.

I also want to discuss him warding off Harry's spell in Goblet of Fire. Harry used the disarming spell also known as Expelliarmus (Disarming Charm). Harry was trying to disarm Voldemort but he casually blocked his spell with his hand in this scene.

Voldemort also cuts Snape's throat in Deathly Hallows part 2 with a simple wave of his wand. That's very impressive considering how easily this can be accomplished with just a flick of his wrist. Yoda could be cut while being held off at bay by the fire basilisk. Think about the options Voldemort has here while employing his ranged combat which befits a wizard while Yoda himself seemed at a huge disadavantage trying to bridge the gap to Palpatine (Darth Sidious) in the senate room. Voldemort can also apparate and create more distance anytime he wants.

Voldemort upon learning of Harry Potter's continued survival after having been lied to by Draco's mother about his death shot what appeared to be flames at Harry Potter before he quickly fled the immediate area.

Voldemot also turned his robes into a menacing, much longer choking type effect weapon of sorts and used this against Harry Potter in Deathly Hallows part 2.

I won't be discussing his parseltongue or mind reading abilities or anything I don't see as beneficial to a standard fight. I really don't want to debate anything I feel is unlikely or out of character for Voldemort to accomplish against Yoda here.

Yoda's Characterization:

I will delve into this more once I get into breaking down his responses post by post but Yoda has always been the epitome of a selfless jedi.

Yoda's problem is just the opposite from Voldemort's more aggressive approach. Yoda has had two opportunities to save countless lives but has failed in stopping both of his foes. Yoda knew stopping Dooku would prevent the clone wars but Dooku after stalemating Yoda fled the scene and Yoda was so slow to react while defending against his tk could do nothing to prevent it.

While flashy and quick he rarely has even grazed his opponent with a lightsaber those at least worthy opponents he has went up against on screen.

Weaknesses

Yoda's weakness is his lack of ranged combat. Yoda isn't quick enough to close the gap or stop the oncoming onslaught Voldemort is going to through at him.

Yoda can also be disarmed which he has been in combat by energy and trying to block/deflect it with his light saber. This has already occurred on film while Vos may try to convince even Vos knows himself it's a thin argument he has unsupported by Voldemort in the films. The guy doesn't lose his wand by tk, ever.

Yoda's nature also suggests he will do what he always does jump around and swat at his opponent either defending himself or attacking he's never out down an exceptional opponent even Dooku whom I feel is less skilled than Yoda in the same verse. Dooku even states this combat won;t be decided by knowledge of the force but by skills of the saber but I have news for Vos and Yoda here. This is a dark wizard whose dark arts are foreign to Master Yoda who even with his knowledge of the force couldn't beat a lesser skilled opponent.

Yoda while still gifted with precog even though it is loosely defied has been hit by one attack with no other distractions against one opponent before suggesting he can't always react to what's coming for him. In this case I hope he's ready for the sweet embrace of death because it's inevitable.

Opening Argument (Vos)

I. Objective: Prove that the movie depiction of Yoda would defeat the movie depiction of Voldemort.

1. Setting: Geonosis Arena (neutral location)
2. Voldemort does not have any Horcruxes. Yoda need only kill Voldemort once to end the battle.

In 30 or so seconds in Palpatine slowly raises his hands to fire the force lightning in what I'd call slower than even an above human athlete reaction time because he telegraphed what he was doing with his hands prior to the blast. That's awful considering

a)Vos calls him the greatest jedi ever
b)Palpatine (Darth Sidious) blatantly telegraphs his attack.
c)This was just a one on one similar attack in which Palpatine's blast seemed far slower than Voldemort's blasts with casual flicks of his wrist.

I see no reason that despite this awful reaction of Yoda to suggest he's always on top of Voldemort's attacks who keeps pouring them on effortlessly with varying effects other than a straight beam of harmful/destructive energy.

2.Force sense/Hostile Intentions

This greatly benefits Yoda from someone's intentions which gave him the drop on the two stormtroopers but won't aid him in any way since Voldemort won't be trying to lure him into a false sense of security here. The reason order 66 was mainly in play was due to the fact the troopers were far less formidable than the jedi so unless they had raw numbers they had to use the element of surprise in a war type situation to try to catch the more formidable jedi. Voldemort won't need the element of surprise here.

4. Telekinesis

Dramatic instances of Yoda’s telekinetic prowess have been highlighted throughout the Star Wars saga.

In Episode V: Empire Strikes Back, Yoda lifts an X-Wing from a bog: TK 1 [4:10]. An X-wing must weigh several tons, and yet Yoda is able to lift the starfighter and direct it aerially without once seeming pressed.

In Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Yoda displays his telekinetic might against Dooku: TK 2 [0:19]. He easily catches and hurls away car-sized heavy machinery and chunks of the hangar roof. Later, Dooku tries to collapse a massive pillar onto Skywalker and Kenobi, which Yoda is able to grasp with the Force, and move away from the two Jedi.

The most eye-popping example of Yoda’s telekinesis occurs during the Duel in the Senate Chamber against Sidious: TK 3. Before I go further, in the beginning of the video, Yoda, with a flick of his hand, manages to knock out two members of the Emperor’s Royal Guard.

Anyway, at 3:10, we see Yoda literally stopping (to a complete halt) the progress of the repulsorpod (which, as I pointed out earlier, has extreme momentum), having such control to spin it with an incredible frequency of rotation, and throwing it back at Palpatine, against gravity, with equally-matched speed.

TK is Yoda’s second modus operandi of dispatching Voldemort. If the Grand Master were to lose his lightsaber, he could still toss the Dark Wizard around like a ragdoll. Or he could easily Force Pull the wand out of Voldemort’s hand, rendering his foe useless.

More coming...

Despite Yoda's supposed above human jedi reactions he just stands there as Dooku slowly tk's that large structure to fall into the jedi. It took multiple seconds and he had to lodge it free while Yoda took a really long time to hold it steady and make sure it didn't harm either fallen jedi. This is obviously the reason Dooku flees but Yoda had more than enough time to garner a victory while the battle seemed pretty even with the slightest of advantages maybe in Yoda's favor. Later in rots Anakin easily bests Count Dooku after he gives into his rage and temporarily embraces the dark side. This also further shows Yoda's weakness to finish his opponent since both of his on screen fights ended in stalemates and someone else other than Yoda defeated both of his opponents.

Now onto the second fight against Palpatine. This fight I already briefly touched up on in my previous post. Palpatine does take out the featless jedi masters quickly in succession before ultimately falling to Mace Windu. This doesn't bode well for Master Yoda since another jedi disarmed him and defeated him. Now after Palpatine stupidly allows Yoda the time to recover and regain himself giving a speech in which villains are known to make throughout all aspects of fiction despite having their opponent in a vulnerable position the fight takes place.

Yoda does seem quite agile jumping from pod to pod after fighting Palpatine on one of them initially. My problem here with Yoda is he allows Palpatine to gain the higher ground when it's something that gives a jedi/sith the edge in a close battle with light sabers. The reason Anakin Skywalker (Lord Vader) was defeated by the lesser talented Obi Wan was due to Obi having the higher ground. For Yoda to allow Palpatine the higher ground was a crucial mistake.

Yoda seems slow also after he stops the pod and spins it around before sending it ultimately back in the direction of Palpatine. Yoda uses the ground lost and attention diverted by dodging the pod by Palpatine to establish equal ground on the same pod. Yoda can't even hold onto his light saber when under the duress of this attack before ultimately sending some of it's force back into Palpatine knocking them both around in which Yoda plummets to the bottom of the senate room effectively losing his chance to defeat this would be monarch.

All in all Yoda danced around again and was unable to best his opponent again despite the gravity of the situation and the reality Palpatine would usher in should he survive. Yoda failed despite the gravest of circumstances which backs up my initial post of him not doing enough to kill/defeat a worthy opponent.

4.Tk

His most impressive tk feats don't happen quickly at all. They take time he won't have in a battle with Voldemort. Sheer size really requires a lot more energy focus and puts more of a strain on Yoda.

Voldemort's tk against Harry Potter is quick indeed. Voldemort wasn't even initially going to attack Harry until Harry decided to turn his efforts against the Dark Lord formerly known as Tom Marvolo Riddle.

5. Force Valor

Due to his old age limitations, Yoda heavily used Force Valor to a significant degree, allowing the Force power to bolster his resolve, accuracy, and speed.

Unless he tries to subdue Yoda with AOE (Area of Effect) spells (which Yoda can jump away from), Voldemort will have considerable difficulty landing a spell on the Grand Master. We see in the Harry Potter films that simply running to the side can allow a wizard/witch to avoid an incoming spell. Now imagine Voldemort attempting to connect a hit onto a 2.1 foot creature scampering around like the Roadrunner on steroids.

6. Tutaminis

Tutaminis refers to Force powers that allow sensitives the ability to block, absorb, and redirect energy attacks. Yoda is a master practitioner of tutaminis.

Obi-Wan Kenobi demonstrates that energy attacks can be blocked with a lightsaber, as shown here: Tutam 1 [0:29].

Later, when Yoda arrives to fight Dooku, the Grand Master uses his bare hands to gather and redirect Force Lightning.

However, the greater version of phenomenon happens against Sidious in the Senate chamber. The Dark Lord of the Sith unleashes a relentless Force Storm at point-blank range at the Grand Master. Yet, we all know what happens next...

Since magic is a form of energy similar to Force powers, I venture to say that Yoda himself can [B]block spells with his bare hands. Certain spells, such as Fiendfyre, would be logically impossible.However, I state that Yoda can block, gather, and redirect Avada Kadavra with his bare hands utilizing Force Absorption/Energy Dissipation similar to how he did against Sidious’s deadly Force Storm.

More coming... [/B]

Yes, I will agree in Harry Potter we frequently see wizards miss their targets throughout the entire series. We however don't see Voldemort frequently miss his target. He hits Harry Potter with the Avada Kedavra in the Dark Forest. The reason Harry ultimately survives is due to the help he has albeit through his dead parent's spirits, Albus Dumbledore showing up in Order of the Phoenix, a love protection spell causing the Avada Kedavra to rebound onto him, or Voldemort unknowingly destroying a horcrux he unsuspecting made inside Harry Potter it's a given he's pretty accurate. Now he does miss Potter as he is evading him later on near and around Hogwarts but Potter defends himself against his beams of energy and breaks free from his cloak of strangulation to defeat Voldemort due to the Elder wand not being rightfully Voldemort's possession.

Yoda doesn't have Harry's breaks. He's someone who dies when he's hit by Avada Kedavra. I could see him getting temp ko'd by that force blast from Voldemort in Deathly Hallows part 2 which ko's Neville. I mean it's not unlikely considering Yoda was temp ko'd by one force lightning blast which doesn't kill anyone from which we have seen in any of the Star Wars films.

6.Tutaminis

Yoda can redirect certain attacks of energy that he blocks with his hand in time but in no way, shape, or form can he redirect or block the Avada Kedavra, fiendfyre, Crucio, or the cutting Voldemort's wand has shown against Severus Snape.

Yoda can redirect force lightning but that's little league compared to Voldemort's abilities.

[B]IV. Voldemort:

1. Characterization

I will leave a discussion on Voldemort’s powers/abilities for Quanchi. However, I won’t deny that the Dark Wizard has a plethora of wicked spells at his disposal. Nevertheless, how he uses them in combat is a different story. In the movies, we see Voldemort as always aiming for a fatal stroke. The first move he always does is a powerful decapitating/killing attack (most likely his trademark Avada Kadavra). Against Dumbledore, he only proceeded to more flamboyant spells after his initial blast stalemated with that of the Headmaster’s.

Voldemort’s arrogance and narcissism will cause the Dark Lord to underestimate his “little, green friend.” Heck, the He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was chuckling in admiration of his own wizardcraft against his duel with Dumbledore himself. He will hold his ground and attempt to destroy Yoda with lethal force. Therefore, he won’t be spamming Apparition or any instant movement spells. His lack of movement will play into Yoda’s hands.

2. Weaknesses

• Voldemort’s fundamental weakness is actually his only weapon: the wand. Though capable of wandless magic, Voldemort would be unable to perform the advanced spells in his repertoire without his instrument. He has shown that he can do basic telekinesis with a hand motion during his confrontation with Harry Potter in the Little Hangleton graveyard. However, it’s possible that holding a wand in the other hand might have aided, or even allowed, him in this capability. If Yoda can disarm and/or break Voldemort’s wand, the battle would be in the Grand Master’s overwhelming favor. Yoda, on the other hand, has an advantage in that he doesn’t need a conduit for his Force powers; nor does he have to utter an enchantment to invoke them. If Voldemort disarms Yoda’s lightsaber, the Jedi has the ability to Force Pull back his weapon; even if the Dark Wizard destroys the lightsaber, Yoda can still kill Voldemort with TK blows.

• Voldemort’s nature suggests he won’t make use of heavy Apparition and instead subject himself to being a sitting duck for Yoda. Wizarding duels usually involve two opponents a short distance away pummeling spells at each other. Voldemort would be heavily unprepared for an opponent that moves extensively in all dimensions (forwards, backwards, left, right, up, and down). On the other hand, Yoda might possibly recognize Voldemort as similar to a Clone trooper who holds his position and attempts to continuously blast away until he finally hits his target.

• Voldemort, though a master of inconceivable Dark Arts, is still a human and under human reflexes. None of the duels involving Voldemort have him displaying acute reflexes; he ends up submerged within Dumbledore’s aqua bubble- Yoda would have clearly jumped and avoided that water altogether. [/B]

I don't see Voldemort's dependency on his wand as a weakness. Like any combatant who brings a weapon to the table it all comes down to how formidable they are wielding it and what has occurred in their own respective universes to cause them to be separated from their weapon. Yoda's had his weapon disarmed by energy blasts in the form of force lightning so it's definitely in the cards for Voldemort to disarm him. If Yoda is disarmed he's a sitting duck and can't block really Voldemort's Avada Kedavra which will oneshot him. Voldemort only lost hold of his wand one time and it was due to the impact of Harry's words which had a lot to do with Voldemort's panic and fear that Harry was still alive and resisting Voldemort's attempts to take his life which gave Harry the opportunity to grab a hold of Voldemort and then after a lengthy flight struggling with Harry Potter in which they both lost a hold of their wands.

Yoda has the ability to force pull back his weapon but failed to do so against Palpatine due to his ranged attacks which will be the same reason here. Yoda won't have the time to get back to his weapon just like he didn't against Palpatine.

Here's where I disagree. Voldemort's obsession with killing someone right out of the gate like he had a hard on for it only had to do with Harry Potter. Harry Potter was the only one who resisted his killing curse and it was this person who stood in his way of being all-powerful in the eyes of all by wiping out the one black mark on his record. When Voldemort fought someone with exceptional skill in Dumbledore he didn't just try to Avada Kedavra him he used various spells/attacks to try to weaken/kill Dumbledore. I see this as the same kind of situation. If the chances comes up he will use the killing curse but against someone greatly skilled he will use his other talents and won't be obsessed with the the quick kill. He wanted Harry Potter dead so badly he couldn't wait and just wanted to use the killing curse on him but won't be that singe minded against a skilled opponent.

As I previously pointed out human reactions have blasted Yoda prior to and he's stood there while very slow attacks have taken place showing he isn't above human reaction at all. Voldemort also has great reactions to block attacks from wands and to negate spells/their effects quickly and decisively against Dumbledore.

1. Objective: Movie Voldemort will indeed defeat movie Yoda.[/B]

Oh! [1:44]

2.Assumptions

a. Setting:Geonosis Arena (neutral location)
b. This fight is to the death or destruction of the other person's body so if Yoda destroys Voldemort's body he wins. That isn't going to happen just saying though. 🙂
c. 3. The two combatants are standing about 200 feet/60 meters apart, and are battle-ready (Voldemort with his wand drawn, and Yoda with his lightsaber ignited).
d. Lightsaber like magic is a form of energy.
e. Both combatants have basic knowledge about the other. Therefore, Voldemort knows that Yoda uses a lightsaber and can draw upon the Force; Yoda would know Voldemort can perform magic via a wand. Voldemort is wielding the elder wand from the last film Deathly Hallows part 2.

Did you mean the “Force” instead of a lightsaber as a form of energy? A lightsaber is not a “form” of energy; the weapon has a blade of pure plasma contained in a containment field. As Star Wars Databank states, the lightsaber has a “shaft of pure energy,” but itself is not a form of energy. It's this composition that allows lightsabers to diffuse concentrated energy (such as Force Lightning), and deflect blaster fire.

I don't know if you meant the Force or a lightsaber, but this isn’t a matter of contention because I understood what you were trying to say.

Voldemort's powers/abilities:
1.Telekinesis:

All wizards have this ability due to their wands. Voldemort is exceptionally skilled here with amazing precise control over what he wants to be moved whether it be inanimate objects(doesn't seem to matter either if it's a lot of them either) or a person/opponent who is actively resisting him. Here is an example of him forcing an opponent that of Harry Potter to bow and forcibly obey the rules of a wizard duel. He knocks hm to the ground as well as loosens the sickle trapping Harry Potter in the cemetery prior to. Around 4:55 in is when he forces him to bow and in this scene you'll see all that I described.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyT2nY7ADnY

This isn't the only tk he shows off in the movies but it's all I will be getting into initially here. I will touch upon it again throughout the debate to ram the point home. I just wanted an initial video to back up my claims and to get those who aren't familiar with this character.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Voldemort returns (hungarian)
www.youtube.com [/B]

1. Please provide evidence of other examples of his telekinetic powers in the films. If you can find anything comparable to lifting and moving a multi-ton starfighter and redirecting an oncoming repulsorpod at breakneck speed, then you can say Voldemort is "exceptionally skilled" with telekinesis.

What you have 'rammed home' is that Voldemort's TK is severely not on par with that of Yoda's.

2. Harry Potter put zero resistance to Voldemort's "bow" attack. He was in a state of shock and absolutely frightened.

And loosening a sickle and causing Harry to slightly bend his back are not impressive examples of telekinesis. These are feats that average Jedi could easily replicate.

Since you are talking about backs, I'll once again reference Yoda and his removal of two elite Royal Guards just before his confrontation with Sidious. The guards are less than a foot away from the wall, yet Yoda's TK has such potency that, even with a casual flick of his hand, the impact of the guards upon the wall breaks their spines and completely knocks them out.

^ I would say that is a tad bit more impressive than slightly bending somebody's back.

2.The Cruciatus Curse also known as the torture curse. It renders it's victims in unspeakable agony/torment leaving them seemingly helpless. To use this curse you must verbally speak the incantation Crucio while pointing your wand at the victim. In the same video you saw earlier I will repost it while you specifically watch for Voldemort to use it briefly on Harry Potter. Note that he is toying with Harry Potter before he ultimately kills him. Harry is at the mercy of Voldemort while under this however briefly he kept torturing him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyT2nY7ADnY

There are three unforgivable curses in the Harry Potter universe. This video gives you a brief description on each one. This video also backs up my earlier statement that this curse renders the victim basically helpless under the extreme torture occurring to the victim.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBFkA9mAlX4

I have acknowledged that Voldemort has a handful of spells that he knows. However, what are the ones he will actually use in a combat situation? Are you suggesting he plans on torturing Yoda to death?

Even if he does use the Cruciatus Curse, it will fail. As you stated, "you must verbally speak the incantation 'Crucio' while pointing your wand at the victim."

As I've established in my opening argument, Yoda moves at rapid speeds in all dimensions. Voldemort would have an extremely difficult time attempting to both speak & successfully aim the torture spell on a continuous blur.

3.Imperius Curse is an unforgivable curse which casts the victim completely under the spell/will of the caster. I won't be really going into this one as well because Voldemort didn't use it really in combat despite being behind this multiple times according to Alastor Moody in the first clip which gives a brief description of the three unforgivable curses. Someone with exceptional willpower or strength can also resist this and to be honest I don't see it personally working on Yoda anyways.

Yes, the Imperius Curse would have no effect on Yoda. With you, I agree on this matter.

4.The Elder Wand is the most powerful wand ever created by Death himself. This is in Voldemort's possession and won't resist his attempts to control it since this is outside the confines and isn't directly opposing Harry Potter due to the fact he rightly beat Draco Malfoy who disarmed Dumbledore to become the true owner of the wand.

This video is the story of the Deathly Hallows mainly for the purpose of backing up my claim it is indeed the most powerful wand ever created by death himself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=bN1_h_eGitE

This video is Voldemort finally gaining possession of the elder wand. Make a note of how he uses simple force with his powers/wand to break into Dumbledore's crypt initially. At the end of the video we see exactly how powerful his energy blasts are simply from the elder wand.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZzlnIuYfMk [/B]

1. First of all, I don't even see Voldemort when he is moving the stones. You don't know how much force it required him to slowly remove those objects. Secondly, even if it didn't require him difficulty, that’s only because the tomb was completely stationary. In a similar circumstance, Yoda lifts up an X-Wing submerged in a swamp and then directs it across the bog to solid ground. That was > than Voldemort’s feat.

2. How powerful that beam of light was isn't quantifiable. It was just a visually dazzling display that he releases to signify a moment of triumph.

He copies the Witch King of Angmar, who does a similar showing of power as he led the forces of Mordor out of Minas Morgul.

I can, on the other hand, quantify Sidious's Force Lightning:

http://youtu.be/n3DHDXAzoBA?t=3m34s [3:34]

Palpatine's Force Lightning had such force that it ejected Mace Windu at least a mile (horizontally) into the Coruscant skyline.

3. The exact nature of the Elder Wand is vague. It has switched masters countless times, indicating that the owner can clearly be beaten. In fact, Malfoy's disarming of Dumbledore is considered a 'victory.'

And of course the Elder Wand will resist Voldemort's attempts to control it! Voldemort is not its rightful master. In Deathly Hallows II, you see the Elder Wand cracking and resisting Voldemort's ownership, and also inflicting pain in the Dark Wizard's arm. It will follow but heavily oppose the Dark Wizard's bidding. He will never receive any power boost from it, thereby making it no stronger than a regular wand. In fact, he runs the risk of not only hurting himself but damaging the Elder Wand from overusage (which will definitely happen against an opponent of Yoda's caliber).

5.Apparition/Flight

Apparation is a magical transportation from one destination to another by visualizing the next destination in their mind. Flight should be self explanatory but I will give a few examples.

I will show one example of Voldemort apparating later on when I break down his duel at the end of the Order of the Phoenix. Voldemort apparates against Harry Potter at the end of Deathly Hallows Part 2 in combat as well but due to it still being in the theater won't look for a video. I hope you understand the reasoning Vos if not I will see what I can do if you openly dispute this feat.

Yes, there is an instance of Voldemort using Apparition in combat against Harry in DH2. However, do you remember how effective it was? I'll tell you- it was absolutely useless. Potter was still able to veer around and respond with a spell of his own.

It makes me wonder just how effective this move is in a duel. You don't see Dumbledore or Voldemort making use of this method in their battle in the Ministry of Magic headquarters.

In the films, the maneuver only seems to work if your opponent has absolutely no anticipation of your approach. I speak of Bellatrix's killing of Sirius Black in Harry Potter😮rder of the Phoenix.

As I pointed out, Yoda has advanced precognition and Force Sense. If Potter, with normal senses, managed to produce a counter, then Yoda, blessed with superhuman reflexes, will have no chance of being surprised by an Apparition-sneak attack.

Here towards the end of the video is Voldemort. The deatheater( a name for a follower of Voldemort) backs off of Harry Potter and allows Voldemort the chance to kill him. Voldemort has stated he has to be the one to kill Harry Potter. See how quickly he closes in on Harry Potter and how accurate he is despite this wand breaking on him. This wasn't Voldemort's old wand nor was it the elder wand at that point yet but we still see multiple power lines go down in the process due to his rage at failing once again to kill Harry Potter. Voldemort later apparates out of there the moment he is seen by Harry's allies known as the Orders.

Yes, it's another of his fancy powers that will serve him absolutely no good in combat. Voldemort is not going to switch into 'shadow flight mode' and start flapping around Yoda.

And "what accuracy" are you speaking of? Voldemort is closely cruising directly horizontal to Hagrid's motorcycle. From his frame of reference, he is essentially just aiming straight at a static target. Tell me how this "accuracy" will fare against the 'Tasmanian Devil'-like Jedi.

6.Fiendfyre is a type of fire made by dark magic. It's a very powerful spell that is harder to control and isn't easily put out by water either. Draco's friends met a rough end due to a lack of control of this spell which tried consuming everything in the room. Voldemort uses this spell against Dumbledore in their infamous duel in Order of the Phoenix. Voldemort creates a giant snake/basilisk and sets it after Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore sends it back at Voldemort who completely evaporates the dark fire magic to counter Dumbledore.

Aye, Fiendfyre is a very powerful spell that Voldemort has in his arsenal. However, it will not be a spell that he will open with. The Dark Wizard only used that spell after the initial stalemate and because Dumbledore was stationary. Voldemort saw the opportunity of sending the fiery serpent to finish him.

Against Yoda, an opponent who will certainly not remain fixed at a spot, Fiendfyre will lose potency since Voldemort may not know where to direct it except for in a general direction.

Yoda has shown the ability to jump multiple stories (see the Senate Chamber duel). Even if such a blaze is released near his position, he can easily move away (he is an arena/neutral location, after all) in any direction, even leaping over the afire snake.
