True, I suppose. 😉

I believe my actual response was that I had no idea who any of the people Newguy mentioned were.
Vos was still stomped by Agen Kolar. He's a fairly average Jedi Master.

All the people I put on Dooku or Maul's level have more than that, either in terms of feats, accolades or their position in the era.

Actually Jadus is a man. And I was making a point about canon and what it means to limit movie characters to only certain feats.

Lol.

Maybe if Intrepid wasn't constantly doing nothing but make idiotic, trollish statements I'd rate his intelligence higher.

I'm kind of surprised that he was actually capable of respecting someone not showcased in combat against the movie era characters.
That's because you overestimate his bias. Intrepid has an extremely analytical way of thinking in debates, characters that have achieved nothing get no credit from him despite the fact that many would assume them strong.
Unfortunately, most of the EU is made up of characters like that, so from Intrepid's point of view they are not as impressive as the movie characters, most of whom have solid feats.
EDIT: He loves trolling you Bane worshipers, though. 😉
Physically he is one of the strongest characters in the mythos.
So is Mace.
In terms of lightsaber skill he can throw down with peeps like Ven Zallow and Aryn Leneer.
Mace can throw down with peeps like Yoda and Darth Sidious.
As a force wielder he has a lot of raw power, his lightning is impressive,
Cool. Mace would turn both of those things against him. #Vaapad
his TK is powerful, he has scream and maelstrom under his belt plus saber throws.
Malgus's TK is admittedly more powerful than Mace's, but as I said before his application of it is rudimentary compared to Mace. Scream is an involuntary power, and im not sure how effective Maelstrom would be against Mace.
He is just a freaking tank that wont stop wrecking until he is dead on the ground. And I don't think Mace would be the one to put him there.
Mace doesn't go down easily either buddy. Have you read Shatterpoint? Dude has broken and shattered bones, huge gaping gashes covering his body, and he still throws down with an amped Depa Bilaba.
People use them as an excuse to dismiss any feat that occurs on them.

Your utter denial amuses me.But yeah, Neph, Vaapad is a weird concept, though it's pretty simple how it works.
Bluh. It uses your own darkness, your opponents darkness and apparently everyone in a mile radius' darkness too. And super conductive loops and bluh bluh. This isn't actually explained clearly though. Its so dumb.

It's the only logical explanation how he wasn't slaughtered by Sidious, so I like it.
Which itself was stupid and only put in because Jackson needed to be a "badass."
Originally posted by NewGuy01Is it? The reason I ask is because Mace' feat from Shatterpoint where he stopped the landslide is very impressive. What do you mean by the last part? TK is TK. Are you implying Mace is more creative in his use?

Vaapad allows a Jedi to walk through the penumbra of the Dark Side, channeling that darkness within themselves into positive energies. What this basically means is that the user can sink themselves into the Dark Side and gain it's perks without the negative drawbacks of both physical and mental corruption.
However, it also allows the user to "accept" the negative energies released by the opponent, and channel their power into a force of positivity as a method of overcoming the darkness they face, thus is the superconducting loop.
In simplest terms, Vaapad allows the user to gain all benefits offered by the Dark Side without suffering any of it's drawbacks. It's second property amplifies the wielder's power with the energies released by their opponent. The more powerful the opposition, the greater this amplification will be.
But this process isn't only affected by an opponent. A Vaapad user can also feed upon the darkness around them (In this case, the terror emanating from the nearby village) and channel that as light energy as well. I would assume an experienced Vaapad user could also channel a Dark Nexus's power with this application as well.
Ultimately, I think that's the best description of Vaapad I can give you.
