Good lawd, fanboy rage engage!
Let's see if our winner, "DARTH POWAH", can actually manage a decent rebuttal!
^ Lol @ obliterating my argument. Those are some of the worst arguments iv seen on these forums simply because your just arguing from a view of complete denial of the league Oppress is in. Will address your points later when I have time.
Translation: LOLDERP! I'm acting all witty and sarcastic and then immediately saying you're in denial of Opress' league, even if I haven't conclusively proved Opress' league. Burden of proof is on you, derp!
Actually its you who has completely missed my point and chose not to address the specific examples I gave. Sometimes you are just shown on screen 2 people fight and one clearly being superior.Examples are Maul vs Qui-Gon, Dooku vs Obi-Wan..
Now are you really suggesting we need more evidence than what we saw on screen to prove Maul > Qui-Gon, or that Dooku > Obi-Wan???
Im suggesting from what we saw of their fight on screen Opress's superiority to Obi-Wan is as clear as those 2 above examples.
Translation: LOLDERP! I'm still arguing that all perceptions should be uniform and that subjective viewpoints and judgments should not exist because I saw X and therefore if you didn't see X, you're in denial; it's impossible that your point could also be valid because you didn't see it through my eyes.
Candid Rebuttal: Really, Darth Derp, we have to come to a foundation for objective debate before we can continue. If you insist that "LOL stuff is obvious no subjectivity", then I'm not wasting any more time with you. If you cannot point out specifics in media you and I both saw and draw those specifics into a half-assed argument to support your LOLASSERTION, then we're done here. I'm not wasting my time with your foolishness.
Again what I have been asserting is that Opress is in a league above Obi-Wan based on:1) Their fights against each other.
2) Opress's feats which in 2 episodes of CW are beyond anything Obi-Wan has shown... Like Ever.
Translation: LOLDERP! First point is obvious; Opress is in a higher league because I said/saw that he's in a higher league. Any burden of proof for my argument apparently is axiomatic, and Obi-Wan is inferior which is also axiomatic.
Second point, Opress being humiliated in combat by Dooku, killing two unknown and unimportant Jedi, and later being really strong physically in combat with about four people (none of which he defeated) cements his position well over Obi-Wan Kenobi. Never mind that Kenobi has tons of victories under his belt, that he's known as the foremost defensive fighter in the entire Jedi Order, and that he performs much better against Dooku at a time before his peak than Opress ever did at his peak or ever for that matter.
Me: Basically, Darth Derp, you're hamstringing yourself by arguing Opress' martial prowess based on the two episodes where he's routinely beaten down by everyone and kills two people of no real significance whatsoever. If him being really strong and looking like Darth Maul makes you moist, then so be it. Just admit to the bias. But don't pretend that you're arguing intelligently with things like "LOL it's obvious he's uber, end of debate, Obi sux!"
Very poor excuse especially considering it wasn't the first time he Force threw them..
So... basically, you're saying that Anakin and Obi-Wan suck for not absorbing a rage-fueled Force wave in the middle of a firefight with droids, but Opress - who all but runs into Sith lightning seven, eight times in a single setting - is somehow better?
Are you even reading this before you click "Submit Reply"?
So what if he was enraged? He did it, and was using his rage to produce a tremendous amout of Power (way beyond the likes of Obi-Wan) for a good few minutes. Theres absolutely nothing suggesting he wnt be able to let loose like that again. And considering you made this thread specifying everyone is in their Prime as of the CW just makes your point here even more moot.
You're missing the point so badly it's sad really.
Opress' rage, which fuels his Force powers above the norm, are entirely conditional on his hate and abuse at the hands of his masters/enemies. Thus in order to argue "Opress will become stronger and overpower them based rage alone", you have to do the following:
1. Establish how Opress will become "enraged" in a neutral fight against two Jedi who have not been previously abusing him.
2. Establish how Opress won't blindly run at them like a stupid shit-chucking ape and get destroyed because he's in a rage.
3. Establish where in the hell Opress has used TK to conclusively KO an opponent in combat.
4. Establish how "peak" in the original post somehow translates into "Opress is enraged, but no one else gets buffs"?
I mean really, are you going to grasp at straws now? So should I argue "Obi-Wan and Kit Fisto, both eating bota, versus Opress who is in rawr!emo mode and Ventress who just broke a nail"?
This here is the worst point you've brought up, while completely ignoring the point I made.That was Opress's first lesson with Dooku!! Talk about Lowballing! Again your the one who specified the characters are in their Prime as of the CW!
What universe are you from, exactly?
Opress' showings take place in a very small timeframe, this training being the one which immediately precedes the fight with Anakin/Obi and Ventress/Dooku.
In it, we see Opress being sloppy (a product of his relative inexperience with saber combat and against Force users), and balls-out stupid (because he rages and rushes head-first into all of his fights. This starts at the training and goes right through until the fight with all of the above).
This isn't "low-balling", Opress hasn't shown tremendous growth since the time of this training with Dooku. And if anything, it best shows his fighting style because he does almost the exact same thing later on.
This here is the worst point you've brought up, while completely ignoring the point I made.That was Opress's first lesson with Dooku!! Talk about Lowballing! Again your the one who specified the characters are in their Prime as of the CW!
Now to my point you convinently did not address and instead went off on a random rant.. Lets see what Opress was doing after being trained (but before his Rage boost mind you):
With the Force:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB69fNAFA4E go to 0:43..
Has Obi-Wan Ever thrown a ship that large one handed?? Ever??
Wait, so let me get this straight...
You think Opress > Obi-wan because he pushed the narrow standing supports of a ship and its own heavy weight caused it to tumble over the side?
You see those sparks? That's him TKing the supports He's not lifting the whole ship up and chucking it, or TKing the entire side of the ship (because if he did, it would move without tipping over, having been hit by equal force).
Doing that is not outside of the realm of Anakin or Obi-Wan, and furthermore, it's not a conclusive way of winning a battle. Unless Obi-Wan is strapped in to said starship and Opress pushes its supports over and Obi-Wan can't get out in time, guess what? This doesn't mean jack.
And of course their were the multiple stone pillars he was lifting while under pressure from Dooku, but for now Im just gna prove you wrong using the Calm Savage (but after training from Dooku)..
He had to be enraged to even lift two, whereas Dooku lifted like 6-10 of them without apparent effort. What's your point here? Lifting stuff with TK doesn't equal decisively beating folks in saber fights. Welcome to Star Wars.
In Close Combat:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xbglrc8V44 go to 1:15 up until 1:25..
Dooku has put Ventress to the floor in Lightsaber combat, then at 1:15 Opress challenges Dooku to a one on one in close combat, and by 1:22 he puts Dooku to the floor!! Count friggin Dooku..
Dooku of course dominates him with his Force Lightning before Savage can give the death blow, but when was the last time Obi-Wan put Dooku to the floor (even while fighting alongside Anakin).. Il save you a lot of time checking by telling you Its Never Happened!
LOLDERP. You are basically saying that Opress landing one hit with his humongous retard strength and knocking Dooku down is conclusively making him better than Obi-Wan because.... he's really strong?
Did you miss the part where Dooku was dancing around the blade for seconds there? Or the part before where Dooku disarmed and humiliated Opress with one hand? Opress rage gives him a strength boost, but it's situational. If you're going to argue Opress > Obi-Wan because "when he gets mad, he can knock down Dooku!", you should lose your internet license.
