The Battlezone! Round 1 Match 3: Darth Wyyrlok III vs. Darth Thanaton

Started by DarthAnt6612 pages

Also you said Thanaton would win on the first page.

I have been voting for Wyyrlok this entire match, and my determination that Wyyrlok is the victor becomes stronger after every post SWL makes.
What about him Godstomping Nox?

Just makes Nox look more unimpressive, I fear. 🙁

I'm not denying Thanaton became stronger, because he did, perhaps by a lot (not in lightsaber combat though), but that's not changing the fact he got his ass whooped by the Emperor's apprentice twice.

He referred to me, Ant.

Oh.

I already listed numerous feats of Nox's before she was stomped by Thanaton. She was hardly weak.

he did become alot more powerful. Powerful enough to one-shot his old self 😉

what you are saying is equivalent to me saying, "Yeah Anakin's impressive and all but he only pressed Dooku while he was an apprentice." you're using a weaker, past version of Thanaton to say that he's unimpressive.

Did I ever say Nox is weak, no?
Did I ever say Thanaton didn't improve in lightning, no?

However, his lightsaber skills remain mediocre.

Keep up your efforts of undermining TOR, Ant. It is most joyful.

He's capable enough in lightsaber combat so that he wouldn't be stomped in that regard. Meanwhile he has much more impressive lightning than Wyyrlok and has his ritual power.

Wyyrlok:

Illusions
Saber Skill

Thanaton:

Lightning
Ritual

No. By this time Nox could already shatter stone and create powerful explosions with her lightning, fought through armies of foes and had defeated Khem Val, Terentateks and powerful Sith Lords and Jedi Masters. And she was amped by the power of two Sith spirits, one of which was one of the greatest sorcerers in Imperial history and the other who had slain hundreds of Sith who invaded his tomb.

Nox was already a very powerful being at this point. And Thanaton still casually one-shot her.

Thank you. 👆

He was getting his ass kicked by Exal Kressh, and there's no proof he improved in lightsaber combat, for once he was on the council he would just be practicing primarily on his sorcery and knowledge.

Ant, I have a question for you: Were you actually paying attention to those fights?

1st Duel: No saber clashes at all, Exal beat Kel with the force.

2nd: Kel was obviously keeping up with Kressh in the saber battle, she overwhelmed him with the force.

No where does he get his ass kicked in a saber battle.

Excuse you, he is depicted lossing in nearly every page:
http://i55.servimg.com/u/f55/17/73/92/12/113.jpg : The last two panels he is struggling to keep his lightsaber from cutting off his face

http://i55.servimg.com/u/f55/17/73/92/12/214.jpg : First panel he is seen moving backwards

http://i55.servimg.com/u/f55/17/73/92/12/315.jpg : He is struggling to keep on holding on in the second and third panels, and perhaps would have got killed if it wasn't for the blasterfire.

http://i55.servimg.com/u/f55/17/73/92/12/515.jpg : She destroys his lightsaber.

http://i55.servimg.com/u/f55/17/73/92/12/613.jpg : She lifts him up like hes nothing.

Yes, this is defined as an "ass kick."

Also, his lightsaber skills are "so good" that he:
Doesn't even one shot this fodder and featless Sith Master:
http://i55.servimg.com/u/f55/17/73/92/12/2_310.jpg

His "handy dandy" lightsaber spin is easily parried by an average blind Jedi Master:

Thanaton is an embarrassment to the Sith Order.

Oh wow, he didn't one-shot a Sith Master. He must suck!

That Jedi isn't blind, he's a Miraluka.

Also, I disagree with your assessment of the lightsaber fight. He was keeping up.

Yes, this is defined as an "ass kick."

1. Ok. So a killing blow was almost dealt but barely evaded? That's happened quite a bit in case you didn't know. I mean yes, Kressh is the superior duelist, but Kel wasn't trashed purely in the saber duel.

2. Moving backwards? Defending himself, perhaps?

3. The only telling thing in these panels is that Kressh is the more aggressive duelist and is keeping Thanaton on the defensive.

4. With the force

5. With the force

Conclusion: Yes, it was definitely an ass kick. But she didn't kick his ass in the saber duel, he successfully defended himself for the most part.

Is Thanaton the guy with a red face?

Thats a girl.

No, that's the girl kicking his ass ^

1. Ok. So a killing blow was almost dealt but barely evaded? That's happened quite a bit in case you didn't know. I mean yes, Kressh is the superior duelist, but Kel wasn't trashed purely in the saber duel.

It was in the first couple seconds of the fight.
2. Moving backwards? Defending himself, perhaps?

Because Kressh is clearly the superior and he's having trouble and needs to let up ground.
3. The only telling thing in these panels is that Kressh is the more aggressive duelist and is keeping Thanaton on the defensive.

He is barely being able to even keep up with her.
4. With the force

5. With the force


It's an embarrassment he lost his saber at all.

That Jedi isn't blind, he's a Miraluka.

Miraluka's are blind bro.

Oh wow, he didn't one-shot a Sith Master. He must suck!

Care to provide any feats for the Sith Master?

1. Yes, but how relevant is that? She almost scores a killing blow, Thanaton survives, continues to keep up with her and defend himself.

2. So if someone is ever backing up in a fight with someone, that someone is their clear superior? Gotcha 🙄

3. Your view of the fight doesn't change the fact that he was successfully defending himself against her attacks. Dooku could barely keep up with Yoda, and he wasn't slain.

4-5: Ok, so when someone is an inferior force user to another, it's an embarrassment if the superior person disarms him with the force? 😬

1. Yes, but how relevant is that? She almost scores a killing blow, Thanaton survives, continues to keep up with her and defend himself.

Look at the strain in his face to merely defend himself. He was nearly killed right then and there.
2. So if someone is ever backing up in a fight with someone, that someone is their clear superior? Gotcha roll eyes (sarcastic)

There's a difference from backing up and demonstrating you are clearly outclassed.
3. Your view of the fight doesn't change the fact that he was successfully defending himself against her attacks.

Define "successfully", because he was nearly killed twice.
Dooku could barely keep up with Yoda, and he wasn't slain.

Props for Dooku.
4-5: Ok, so when someone is an inferior force user to another, it's an embarrassment if the superior person disarms him with the force? erm

I have honestly never seen someone get completely outclassed in lightsaber combat, then get even stomped harder with the Force.

Look at it this way for Wyyrlok:
He is able to hold his own against Krayt.
Krayt is the superior to Cade in sabers.
Cade has slaughtered dozens of Sith Lords.

Changin my vote to Wyyrlok. Thanaton sucks, I wouldn't even put him on Quinlan Vos' level.
