Duel of the Gaming Characters: TFU II Starkiller vs Darth Malgus

I thought this might be interesting since both are first seen in games and then novels. To provoke Starkiller, Malgus kills Kota and abducts Juno and takes her to the Sith Academy. Starkiller goes to rescue her and kill Malgus. Who wins the fight. Everything goes.

Starkiller beats his ass. The clone was moving Capital ships with the Force.

True, but Darth Malgus brought either The JK and the Barsen'thor to their knees with a single blast of lightning or brought he Emperor's Wrath and Lord Kallig to their knees with a single blast.
Impressive showings.

Eh when was this? That sounds very ambiguous. Could he not of done it to the Agent, Smuggler, Bounty Hunter or Trooper instead?

Fairly certain 4 person flash points are canonically supposed to be done by 1 of each class.

I'd love to see this fight. Any new opinions on the outcome

Malgus, IMO.

No

Malgus > Vader

Irrelevant to Starkiller's combat prowess. This is a feat of full concentration.

This battle would be epic. I'm unsure how they compare in terms of lightsaber mastery.

Malgus.

Malgus is the better saber duelist, but Starkiller is a WRECKING BALL *cue Miley Cyrus* of the Force.

This is a no-brainer. It's Starkiller.

Perhaps Starkiller would even up in lightsaber combat if he was still in TFU I, but in this case, he'd win using force powers.

Can somebody make a list of feats of Starkiller II?

NOTE: This is not Galen Marek

He also subdues either the HoT/Barsentor or Wrath/Nox with a force choke multiple times.

His most extreme showings include disintegrating half a frigate and producing Force shields potent enough to absorb drops compared to stars in heat.

I've never played the fight, but does he? I thought he only choked one of the Strike Team, which could be any of the non-force users.

Hmmmmmmm.

Malgus has the raw power to win.

His weaker template could redirect the descent of a Star Destroyer, true.

Yet Vader was able to train him in such a way that he could utilize his saber form against him - and stalemate him.

This is a Vader who was nearly beaten by a Darth Maul clone - yet used a pseudo-Sion, ROT Bane rage to keep himself alive while killing Maul by impaling himself and Maul.

Given, TFU II Vader was far more experienced than SW Tales #9: Resurrection Vader.

I'd say Malgus has a better shot than you give him credit for. He's no Zonakin, but he could at least beat Starkiller II.

Every member of the party has to go 1 on 1 with Malgus. During this time, three members of the party are force choked, unable to move.

He does this roughly 3 or 4 times depending on how fast the group can kill Malgus. It cannot be interrupted or stopped beforehand so it's a scripted event.

Damn! Maybe I really should rethink my stance on Malgus. mmm

Then again, they did have to fight to get to him......
