Count Dooku and Darth Maul vs Darth Malgus and Lord Scourge

Started by The_Tempest7 pages

We have outright confirmation that Maul is one of the best ever. You're merely speculating that Scourge qualifies. Maul wins the accolades.

I'm using actual evidence instead of just claiming that things 'tend' to fit into my argument.

Except that what you provided doesn't prove that Scourge is one of the best ever, let alone above Maul, who really IS.

Maul is merely referred to as 'one of the deadliest Sith apprentices in history.' As a Sith Lord and Emperor's Wrath on a level higher than even the Dark Council, Scourge is above such a puny title. And with his kill count he is surely deadlier than Maul is. g-flick

Uh.

Are you SURE that's all that is said about Maul? 😉

I know he was dumb enough to think he could defeat the entire Jedi Order by himself in their own temple.

So he's a moron for one thing.

You know, I was waiting for you guys to deliver the punchline and tell me what I'm missing, but you totally blew it and now I'm going to bed.

Sorry, got distracted. You were missing the fact that the Star Wars Fact File refers to Maul as "one of the most skilled and deadly warriors in Sith history."

Ok. I guess you don't really need me to tell you that such a thing can easily refer to Scourge and Malgus too and obviously would. I know you're just messing around and don't really put much stock in such ambiguous statements.

Also laugh at Mauls idiocy with me. He so dumb.

I didn't even see this. I don't care how you reply. Its not like mine was point for point.

I guess you probably do need me to tell you that you haven't presented similar accolades ascribed to them. Until you do, your appeals are irrelevant.

Nah.

Maul's accolades are below Scourges

I have no idea how you reached that conclusion.

in my opinion.

Oh, so that's why...

Originally posted by Nephthys
Your argument here is that he's highly trained and skilled and that he's defeated a handful of powerful opponents.

Unlike Scourge.

But Scourge has 300 years of experience and battles under his belt

Why do people think experience is so important? If you want to refer to Vader's edge in experience over Luke in ESB, it was hardly Vader's amount of experience that gave him the edge; more Luke's lack of experience.

That said, Yoda's over 900 years and lost to Sidious. List can go on and on and on...

and he's killed over 1100 powerful opponents.

The amount is impressive. The skill required to do so? Not so much.

Originally posted by Nephthys
I highly doubt Maul is more skilled than him given that.

I don't.

Originally posted by Nephthys
Malgus is also above him in my esteem, just simply being more powerful than him. He pwned a Jedi who collapsed two buildings on him, while he was already heavily wounded. He's also displayed more powerful Force powers than Maul, all before he received a huge boost.

Power is not half as important as combat effeciency. Vader, at the time when he faced Maul, was capable of collapsing cathedrals, but he lost to Maul because of Maul's greater skill and speed. Same goes with Marek: you and I know his most ridiculous showings yet they didn't help him beat Ti, Kota or Brood (and only Paratus when he was crying).

Sidious himself refers to Malgus as one of the greatest Sith in history in his Book of Sith.

Are you sure that's what said?

Originally posted by Nephthys
As for Tyrannus, both can give him a sufficient challenge

Tyranus is, per feats, vastly more skilled than Scourge, undeniably more powerful, more masterful and faster.

Originally posted by Nephthys
and in my opinion Malgus has the power to beat him.

I agree he can, but not for a majority. He lacks the skill and speed to do so.

Given the evidence, I'm not entirely sure how you could be so confused by this conclusion. Its hardly such an outrageous stance to take.

Oh yeah, it's because you're an obstinate prick. Now I remember.

Unlike Scourge.

Yes, unlike Maul, Scourge has defeated a hell of a lot more than a few measly combatants. Look I know you don't think he wins, but don't be ****ing ridiculous. Don't just ignore his abilities. Of course he's defeated powerful people. His whole purpose is to eliminate powerful threats at the Emperors bidding. Which he has done on over a thousand occasions. And of course he's highly trained and skilled. You don't think he trained at all in those 300 years, with access to the finest materials and facilities the Empire has to offer? While preparing to fight Vitiate with the entire galaxy at stake? When his whole job is to be the Emperor's executioner? Even before then he was skilled enough that instructors at his academy were reluctant to face him. With 300 years worth of battle experience and training under his belt, he's obviously extremely skilled.

Um, duh? Because it is? What, you don't think someone really experienced at fighting.... will be good at fighting? We're talking about skill and obviously with such a huge amount of experience, Scourge would be highly skilled.

Well I don't want to refer to that so thanks? I mean, you know this is Luke Skywalker you're talking about? Hardly a valid point of reference.

Yeah, and you don't think his experience helped Yoda at all? You don't think thats why he's mastered every lightsaber form, why he's got such a huge mastery of the Force, why he's as good as he is? Unfortunately his 900 years also works against him. Because he's ****ing old. Furthermore, you forget that as Yoda himself says, the darkside is 'Quicker, easier.' So its hardly illogical for someone as powerful and skilled in the darkside as Sidious to rise to Yoda's level.

The fact is, experience matters. 'Only through intense study and dedicated training could one become more proficient in harnessing the power of the Force.' Obviously with a huge amount of experience in battle, using his abilities, perfecting his lightsaber technique against countless opponents, Scourge is a powerful and skilled combatant.

Cool story bro. Except that it is? And that wasn't my point, which is that with so much battle experience against powerful opponents, of course Scourge is going to be incredibly skilled.

Originally posted by Intrepid37
I don't.

Yeah, because Maul, like, trained... alot? And like, knew a bunch of lightsaber forms. And he beat, like, a whole four people. But they were pretty good people, so obviously he's better. Wow.

Correct, it's much more important. The Force is the real key to victory in any confrontation.

And Vader had much more combat effeciency than Luke yet lost to him. See, I can do that game too. And remember that Scourge himself lost the Hero of Tython, despite almost certainly being more skilled and having better combat efficiency. Also you don't think Starkillers power helped him beat those Jedi? Lol.

Something like that. I own the book.

Nah. 'Vastly more skilled'? Yeah, right. Perhaps he's more powerful, but Scourge has other advantages, such as his personal shield generator and his unique ability to feed on the emotions of others, which will be a major boost against other Sith such as Dooku and Maul (especially Maul since he's hateful as hell). His strength was also enhanced by Vitiate.

I doubt Dooku has a major advantage in speed, Malgus has been described as fast enough when he amps his speed that a person was 'frozen in time' compared to him. He's also highly skilled and powerful, and I believe that power gives him the edge against Dooku.

😂

Will to continue putting up with you..... fading.......

Your response pleases me. A counter-argument will be posted in less than an hour.

And you're a selfish douchebag.

And if they were all the caliber of Quinlan Vos, he'd beaten 100 Quinlan Vos'es, which hardly is impressive.

Like you?

Never did.

This is the Krayt vs Dooku thread all over again where experience suddenly is the big shit.

Right, and I guess Scourge is beating Dooku because Scourge has more experience, right?

Maul beat Jinn who had more experience than him. Savage beat Plo Koon who's had more experience than him. Anakin has fought evenly with Dooku who had more experience than him. Dooku's held his own against Yoda who's had more experience than him...

Then I'd like an example of superior experience being the tie-breaker.

So its hardly illogical for someone as powerful and skilled in the darkside as Sidious to rise to Yoda's level.

And because the dark side is quicker it means that Sidious can obtain the 800 years difference between them?

Sucks for him that he's in a lack of feat.

The only point you're making is that because of his experience, Scourge can beat Maul despite lacking the feats.

Originally posted by Nephthys
Yeah, because Maul, like, trained... alot? And like, knew a bunch of lightsaber forms. And he beat, like, a whole four people. But they were pretty good people, so obviously he's better. Wow.

Yeah, it does, because all of it requires him to be a skilled swordsman. Beating 100 Quinlan Vos'es is hardly requires Scourge to be skilled.

Originally posted by Nephthys
Correct, it's much more important. The Force is the real key to victory in any confrontation.

On the basis of that, Maul is a more powerful Force practioner than Scourge. His victory is assured.

Originally posted by Nephthys

If you're talking about RotJ, Vader did not have much more combat effeciency, so this is not a valid point.

Give the exact excerpt.

Originally posted by Nephthys
Nah. 'Vastly more skilled'? Yeah, right.

Alright, you think beating 100 Quinlan Vos'es (whom Dooku ragdolled and stomped effortlessly) is as impressive as Dooku?

Originally posted by Nephthys

Perhaps?

Maul has that ability.

Never said it was major, but it's worth noting.

Except Malgus has no power advantage.
