Darth Sion vs Kyp Durron

An ancient menace seeks to destroy Luke's prize student.

Sion. Regeneration is simply too OP.

I don't know about that. Like Hidan from Naruto, he's so convinced of it's superiority that he hasn't bothered to learn much else.

I'm not voting yet, but Kyp has battle pre-cog which would serve him well in dodging strikes, but moreover, his TK is strong enough to throw a ship the size of the Falcon, which might be able to render Sion immobile.

Kyp's definitely way stronger, the real question is finding a way to finish the job.

Kyp Durron takes him to the curb.

It's pretty heavily implied that Sion's regenerative abilities are not as untouchable as many believe unless on a potent Nexus such as Malachor V or Korriban.

Even then, Meetra Surik--A Jedi Knight that was quite easily overpowered by a SWTOR Dark Councillor--Still pushed him to the breaking point in combat before he resigned himself to death.

Kyp is more than qualified to obliterate Sion on neutral ground.

This is explicitly not the case.

Do your research.

I'm of the belief that his regen is everything it's supposed to be, however, if he gets literally disarmed, and then wrapped in steel telekinetically, I think he's down for the count.

I'll say Durron.

Yeah but I think it's stupid to assume anything other than that Sion is a very powerful Sith Lord in general. He should be competitive enough that his OP regeneration tips the scales in his favor.

Kyp tears apart his rotten corpse and then TKs it out the window.

But he got stomped by the Exile.

Ignoring that he canonically had feelings for her and allowed himself to die.

K.

Except he says that because he has feelings for her he wont hold back, since he thinks killing her would be better than what Kreia would do to her.

But it also allows her words to reach him. He willingly dies. I can't stress this enough, so using the plot dependent victory of the Exile valid requires context.

Why do you hate context?

Yeah, after she kicks his ass 3 or 4 times in a row. What, do you think he's holding back or some shit? He isn't. That she ultimately talks him to death doesn't change the fact that she whoops him multiple times. Those aren't plot dependant victories.

Which is why I said she stomped him, because if you can beat someone 4 times in a row you're obviously on another level to them.

The fact that she couldn't kill him until he willingly gave up is lind of key here.

Is Kyp going to fight Sion for an undetermined amount of respawns before Sion gives up out of frustration?

I wasn't responding to his regeneration, I was responding to Astors claim that Sion is a really powerful Sith Lord who can be competitive with Durron. He isn't (really) and he can't.

Fair enough.

I wouldn't say that's proof that the exile was drastically superior to him or superior to him at all. When two combatants have equivalent priorities in defending themselves and inflicting harm on the other, then maybe the manner in which one is able to inflict greater harm upon the other can be considered a good indication that they're superior. But as Sion isn't as vulnerable as the exile (or virtually anybody) he doesn't have the same priorities in defending himself that the exile or a regular combatant would have, hence her repeatedly inflicting harm on him not being a good indication that she was superior to him in this case.

All that matters is that he willingly chose to die. And he was in love with her, and it's hard to say that he was defintiely being sincere when he said he wouldn't hold back.

Plus the exile was made out to be pretty powerful in the game. She goes on to defeat Traya as well after all, and Traya makes the same declarations that Sion does (of love, and not holding back).

Lawl. Yeah, Sion just lets her beat him. I'm sure he loves just getting smacked by a lightsaber.

There are plenty of reasons he would willingly eat shots. By foregoing defence he is free to focus more on offence, making him more dangerous. Pain is not an issue as all he ever feels is pain, constantly.
