Magneto VS Count Dooku

There's a bit of a time lag between Mag's gestures and when the items are effected.

In fact, this shows he doesn't even need to move his arms. Probably just necessary for large objects.

Well I don't remember X1. But good example. I do remember that truck with Juggernaut in it groaning for a few seconds(with the noise of Mag's powers) before flipping over.

But if he does, he doesn't. Still goes down.

Technically you don't need to move your arms to use the force either.

They use precog to deflect with their saber, they aren't faster than them.

They can deflect but you honestly think they couldn't dodge?

Jedi have been hit and killed by blasters.

Dooku is no ordinary Jedi. And it will be a lot easier to stop attacks coming from all sides when all he has to do stop a single opponent to put an end to it.

Show me where blasters are faster then bullets.

Is this a joke? All lasers move at Light speed. It would not be possible for them to move any slower.

Doesn't matter, Dooku won't have anything to deflect with since his saber will be going through his face.

He can still dodge that attack. And with his pre-cog and superior speed, the chances are he'll attack Magneto first.

Blasters aren't lasers. They're directed energy attacks and are indeed slower than bullets, as the Star Wars universe has normal guns called Slugthrowers(slugs = bullets). And a lot of pirates, raiders, etc... use it because Jedi have a harder time blocking them as they're harder to see and move faster.

A skilled Jedi/Sith like Dooku wouldn't have any problem unless he was up against a whole group of people with full auto throwers.

surprised it took so long for the SW wank to commence.

STAR WARS CHARACTERS R FTL CUZ DEY BLOCK TEH LEHZAHS! 😱

I miss RJ.

Blasters fire plasma as I recall.

Force users aren't FTL, but they're a shit load faster than normal humans.

^ Exactly.

And Magneto is about 70.

He only needs to think and the saber will be through Dooku's face 10/10 times.

Before he gets force blasted across the room or electricuted?

Yup.

Thinking > Thinking + moving.

Now that we're all on the same page, a round of applause.

Is Dooku's mo to use his saber first, or to use his force power first?

You can't just say Dooku wins because his force powers are faster than Mags' powers are. If he tends to use his force powers when the fight starts, you have a point, if not, you're scripting.

It depends on his opponent. When he first fought Anakin and Obi-Wan, he ignited his saber, but zapped Anakin right off the bat.

When he fought Yoda(a much more impressive opponent), he opened up with force lightning.

And since they know about each other starting off, I think Dooku would start off with the Force.

In AotC he attacks first with lightning against Anakin, O8i-Wan and Yoda.

good point about knowing each other. Dooku isn't stupid, so it stands to reason that if he knows that Mags' only form of attack is moving objects, it would make sense for him to start off by trying to crush or throw Mags.

Get on the right page, marwash.

Just going to have to accept that Saruman WTFpwns Gandalf, again.
