the Battlezone! Round 1 Match 1: Darth Traya vs. Obi Wan Kenobi (ROTS)

I'm sorry, Sion seems to be kinda a one-trick pony. He can hold himself together through the force yes, but I haven't see anything else from him that impresses me.

Its short for Nebaris. Which is who I thought you were. Or that other guy whose name I can't remember, who trolled Peach about Guild Wars or something.

Ok, I'm still not seeing how its some amazing feat of incredible force power. I checked and the Kotor campaign guide does make it seem like its just something that he's innately talented at, like Cognus blunting the Force or that Goonies kid cloaking fleets.

There are far more cases where the people who are notable for a particular ability are in general extremely powerful. Nihilus from the same game is notable for his drain, Traya for her vision, and yet both are in general extremely powerful Sith Lords (Nihilus's TK feats, Traya owning Force Users left right and centre). Bastilla from the first game was notably talented in BM, but again, was simply a very powerful Force User. Mace Windu is notable for his Shatterpoint ability, and yet is still an all around powerful Force User. There are examples like this throughout the mythos, and the reasoning behind it I would imagine, is that it's usually not just enough to have an aptitude for an ability to become extremely powerful at it, it usually requires both that specific aptitude, and the great power/skill that the technique demands to perform at that level.

Cases where someone is literally only competent at one thing, but extremely competent at it, are not the norm.

I can't think of a finer Force User who's ever been dominated like that.

Thanaton. 😉

No-ones saying he's not powerful but thats it. Just that doesn't mean he's amazing or anything. Also Darth Nox fights a guy, Lord Paladius, who completely drains her of the Force with his mere presence. Its seems to be a unique talent of his just like Sions ability.

Nox still defeats him without the Force though. So either Nox is just that good, or the man wasn't some Force diety.
