The Battlezone! Round 1 Match 2: Darth Talon vs Asajj Ventress (S5)

Darth Talon

Darth Talon was a female twi'lek sith lord who served as one of Darth Krayt's hands during his reign as Emperor. She began her sith training on Korriban, where eventually she was tasked by Darth Krayt to kill her master, Darth Ruyn. She did so gladly, showing ultimate loyalty to Krayt, becoming one of his most trusted assassins.

Throughout the legacy era she is tasked with missions for Darth Krayt, including hunting down the infamous Cade Skywalker, even training him in the ways of the dark side, although ultimately she failed in this endeavor and was impaled by Cade. She survived through being given bacta, and fought against Darth Wyyrlok's new sith regime. When Krayt was reborn and slew Wyyrlok, she took her place again at Krayt's side. When Krayt was ultimately slain by Cade, she and the other sith went into hiding, trying to make sure that the one sith wouldn't die with its founder.

Asajj Ventress

Asajj Ventress was a female Dathomirian sith assassin and servant of Count Dooku. Born as a Nightsister, Ventress was sold as a slave to Rattatak, and trained in the ways of the jedi. However, after her master, Ny Narec was killed, she began to follow the path of the dark side, slaying the Rattataki warlords, inserting herself as leader of the planet. Dooku took notice of her, and took her in as his own "apprentice."

She fought various battles during the clone wars, an instrumental tool for Count Dooku. She battled Skywalker and Kenobi many times, although she was never able to kill either one. Eventually she was betrayed by Count Dooku, having revealed that he never had any plans of making Ventress a true sith. She then went back to Dathomir and met Mother Talzin, where she fought against General Grevious and the Separatists. Eventually, she was taken as far away from Dooku, the jedi, and the war as possible.

Terrain

The terrain is an uneven, snowy, and mountainous.

Who wins?

Gotta go with Asajj with mid difficulty.

Ironically, Asajj fought PT jedi in exact same circumstances and did rather well. Her TK is used in environmental situations just like this.

Good fight though

Talon has some nice force feats. She's disguised her appearance as someone else, hides her presence in the force with great skill, and she's got some very impressive TK, ripping up large amounts of solid stone easily. She could rip up the very mountain beneath Asajj's feat. Force goes to her.

Asajj, she is more experienced, but Talon is also quite good at playing evasive and avoiding skilled foes, and has a couple nice wins under her belt (killed Marasiah Fel's master, beat Cade during sithtraining).

So, force, talon, sabers, Asajj, I'll go Talon in a good fight.

Gonna type a rebuttal later. Asajj is too skilled and has too much raw talent imo.

Talon's also very skilled, and has more complete training. Asajj, while possessing a lot of talent, is more raw, especially in her force abilities and force defense, while Darth Talon benefits from having completed sith training.

Both are very awesome and have their own advantages and disadvantages against each other.

She's skilled but her duels don't really reflect it. She's consistently beaten by Cade, and doesn't really have any real comparison with Ventress's raw skill (beating Fisto pre prime, and holding her own against Plo Koon). Ventress may not be completely trained but for the level of training she has, and for being so young she's demonstrated the's superior to most if not all the Jedi barring Anakin and the usual mentions. Nothing Talon has accomplished compares to this.

Ironically, Ventress has destroyed a ceiling, uprooted massive trees, and even ragdolled Kenobi, as well as caused avalanches. She's got more force abilities at her disposal, and has bested many Jedi with them including Kenobi.

I just don't see her beating Ventress.

Assaj has better feats, and has defeated people with better feats than Talon has.

Ventress wins just about every time. Her skill feats, such as fighting evenly with characters such as Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, Obi-Wan and Anakin vastly outstrips Talon's own.

So are you all mostly in agreement that asajj wins?

I do not have the foggiest about this one. Ventress certainly has more feats, but I'm not sure they're actually above Talons ones. Giving Cade a good fight seems to be just as good as giving any of the characters Intrepid listed a good fight.

Does Ventress know how to block lightning?

I think so. Well she tried to at least when her and Savage attacked Dooku.

Yeah I was just wondering. Would be a significant advantage for Talon if she can't or sucks at doing so.

Seriously? I guess Mace is crappier than I thought. You'd think that a guy who was stalemating Sidious would be comfortably above Ventress in skill.

Ventress is skilled enough that Mace has to call on all of his skill just to drive her off.

LOL

Well in that case I suppose the difference between duelists of his caliber and Cade's has been overblown too.

Neither do Ventresses tho. :?
