prolly won't get to the posts til sat. then you'll need a rebut then i'll likely post a highlight/conclusion/nail in the coffin post. heh likely go past wed, but that doesn't seem to be a big concern and that's only assuming you need to reply to my next post.

No worries on the next set of posts. I'd like to wrap up around the appointed Wednesday time. After the next wave of your and my posts, I won't have much left to say. I'm at, what, 5 right now? I don't see myself going past 8. Maybe 9 tops if you bust out a lot of material in your next couple posts. If I reply maybe on Sunday, we can probably have closing comments in by Mon. or Tues. even.

i'll do my best to try and get my posts in by sunday.

Just let me know if you guys do need an extension.

pause

I think we're good right now. I have no intention of going over. If that means leo gets the last post, so be it. I'm out of town for work starting Friday anyway, so I'd only benefit from Thursday if it were extended.

ok, that is probably going to be my final push. i think i'll be out of town starting tuesday. i MAY throw up a final closing post or something small if digi posts before i leave (may not go til wednesday morning), i'll see how it all works out. anyway, hopefully we put on a decent show. it's been a fun and unique match up. good luck closing it out.

I'll try to post my last big "wave" today or tomorrow, to give you your chance for a last post.

And I'm done.

Judges, feel free to get an early start.

As long as everyone is okay with it, I'll be placing my vote tonight.

If ALL of Luke's higher-end feats would have been used, he would have been WELL over the power cap. However, Digi did a good job only using feats that belong in the meta tier, so it really wasn't unfair from that standpoint.

I was not intentionally misleading. I'm legitimately curious about which feats you're referring to. Like, if I was using some of his better feats, they still don't equal low herald if you add more at the same level. There would have to be feats that are a level above anything I used.

Oh I know. Like I said, you didn't use any feats that even stretched the power cap, so it wasn't an issue at all.

As for feats that could put him over the meta tier...

The Unifying Force- solos the entire Vong army with his speed/saber alone. Also uses his duex ex machina: Electric Judgement, to one-shot several of the most powerful Vong.
The Dark Nest Saga- defeats a force user who was capable of drawing on the force energies of his entire galaxy/nest. He also uses his TP on a galaxy-wide scale.
Dark Tide I: Onslaught- uses the force to manipulate a black hole to his whim.
Invincible- demonstrated the ability to sense/manipulate Shatterpoints.

There's more, of course-- for instance, he's also used the force to shift a planet off its axis, but I can't remember the issue off hand. Anyway, that was just off the top of my head. Luke is beastly.

I will present judgement sometime today, hopefully sooner than later.

I'm familiar with some but not all of those. And I think at least a couple are pretty wildly overstated. But you're entitled to your opinion, and there's also a few I can't comment on because I either didn't read it or read it but don't remember it well enough.

Which?

Well, the galaxy-tp feat got brought up in here. He did it over the course of a week in deep meditation, and it was a summons, not anything with battle application. A range and scope feat, no doubt, but nothing that can be applied to a vs. battle for numerous reasons.

I've also read the fight during the Dark Nest thing. He basically stood still during a Force push, then pinned the guy to a wall once he was finished. It's entirely unquantifiable, and outside of some obvious hyperbole in the narrative, we have nothing to gauge it by. I was aware of it but specifically didn't use it, because I know how badly I'd rip it up if it were me on the other end of a Luke vs. battle.

I don't remember the black hole feat - are you referring to manipulating the voids that the Vong ships create? My memory of the end of Unifying Force is also sketchy...I actually thought Jacen had the better showing there.

And Shatterpoints...that's just weakness detection, yeah? Nothing Karate Kid can't do.
