Not to say Revan isn't definitely up there as well, though. Ant's more recent finds, as small as they may seem, are truly adding to Revan's credibility largely.

As is Revan competing with Vitiate and pwning SF Malak and Nyriss.

I don't find it funny, really. Revan's feats simply aren't as good as Anakin's in any area other than his immense knowledge and intelligence.

Anakin is frankly the more powerful, and the more skilled, no matter how you look at it.

Yeah, they are. In numerous cases they're better. Anakin wouldn't last 3 seconds against Vitiate, Anakin couldn't do what Revan did to Nyriss and I doubt Anakin could defeat Malak as Revan did.

No, he's not. Revan is, as you said, highly skilled in a half dozen different forms and has legendary battle precognition. And his mastery of the Force utterly eclipses Anakin's. Revan casually palming Nyriss' lightning is a greater feat of raw power than anything short of Zonakin. Revans TK is superior to Anakins as well with his feat against the Strike Team and with how well he took Vitiates TK attack. Revan possesses powerful lightning and Force Drain and he has superior telepathic resistance with how he resisted Vitiate for centuries.

As I said, defeating such powerful creatures is a highly impressive feat. I simply don't think it constitutes to Revan's capability in a sophisticated duel, even if they're horrifyingly powerful monsters, they're still wild untamed beasts.

I didn't say its proof of skill, so much as it is raw combat ability. Remember, Terentateks are resistant to lightsabers as well as the Force.

Wouldn't be a pretty good speed feat for the Wrath then if he had to hit the Terentatek like 200 times with that training saber for the beast to die while moving away from its attacks?

Nothing says he's replenishing his health, the more accurate term I would use is "sustaining oneself".

The Jedi's Force Energies are fuel, not med-packs. The greater likelyhood is that Malak would be replenishing his Force Reserves, which in turn could also be used to heal himself I suppose--Except that the cutscenes don't back up him doing that canonically, only the gameplay does.

And again, that being the case would be extremely, extremely impracticable. In fact, Revan would have to be an utter imbecile to let a defeated foe crawl/walk away and heal himself and come back to fight.

"The Sith Lord had grotesquely adapted the Rakatan device to draw energy directly from chained Jedi captives. He replenished his life force from the captives by draining theirs. Malak was nearly unstoppable, but the Republic emerged from that epic conflict victorious, as the Star Forge was eventually destroyed.
―Star Wars Databanks

[QUOTE]Anakin wouldn't last 3 seconds against Vitiate,

Prove it. Because so far, the Hero of Tython topped Vitiate on a Nexus, and Anakin has better feats than him.

I doubt Anakin could defeat Malak as Revan did.

Malak lacks the feats to even suggest he could be greater than Anakin.

Revan is, as you said, highly skilled in a half dozen different forms

Impressive as that is, it isn't putting him above top tier duelists. Despite Dooku being only masterful of one form, he's still one of the best swordsmen in the mythos.

Revan casually palming Nyriss' lightning is a greater feat of raw power than anything short of Zonakin.

Pfft, collapsing a 90x270 ft dome is a far greater showing of raw power, don't kid yourself.

Revans TK is superior to Anakins as well with his feat against the Strike Team

Gameplay. And even if it weren't, it's still not better than Anakin's feat.

Revan possesses powerful telepathic resistance with how he resisted Vitiate for centuries.

Not seeing how this will even apply in a fight with Anakin.

Yeah, well, my passage was about Revan's lightsaber skills. I did not need to include it. /topic

Given the above, Revan had to have defeated Malak at least 3 times, since it says captives, plural.

Which is very impressive.

And even if Malak were replenishing his Force reserves, isn't that the same thing as him being defeated? If he'd depleted his Force reserves, thats basically the sane thing as losing or nearly losing.

He beat him 7, via the cutscenes then. 😉

While I congratulate you for finding a quote that mentions his life force, the passage actually doesn't contradict me at all. Malak replenishing his life force doesn't mean he was injured, just that he didn't have the reserves to face Revan on his own, even when amped.

And again, if what you are saying is the case, Revan would have to be an imbecile to allow a limping opponent to walk to his Jedi Slurpies and replenish himself. Everything you said about Revan's great intelligence and strategy would be down the drain. XD

K, good effort, but no.
Like I said, replenish means to refill, meaning there was nothing left in the first place. Nothing left as in health or force power. For in the end, like Neph said, it's all but the same. He beat Malak 7 times. He could have stood their for countless reasons, or due to the sheer fact he was confident he could beat the next Malak as well. As Traya said, everything Revan does will aid him someway in terms of strategy.


And even if Malak were replenishing his Force reserves, isn't that the same thing as him being defeated? If he'd depleted his Force reserves, thats basically the sane thing as losing or nearly losing.

Something like that, but not really. Surely without his little bloodbags he would have run out of his reserves much faster and fallen prey to Revan much faster, it's not quite like he was repeatedly defeated. Only that his "stamina" as you will was increased and thus Revan had to fight him much longer before he finally went down.

Either way I'm not sure why we're arguing it, because it's an impressive feat either way.

Eh, no.

I can refill a half empty water bottle at a water fountain, thank you much.

ALSO: May I mention that it would be extremely demeaning for Malak if a single random Jedi's force reserves could COMPLETELY replenish his own? He would have to be fodder for that to be the case... Which obviously isn't the case.

1. No one refills water bottles with water fountains.
2. I would say it would have to be less then half empty to even be considered to be replenishing, based on the definitions.

ALSO: The Jedi were amped by the Star Forge, plus PIS.

The water fountains at my school have both a drinking fountain and a bottle refilling compartment installed.

Being halfway to defeat is a lot different than being defeated and getting up and being defeated again x7 dude. That would be stupid.

Why would lightside Jedi be amped by the Star Forge, exactly?

According to Drew it was a hard and brutal fight broski.

Which makes sense. After the 5th Malak, Revan would be exhausted, especially coming into the fight after slaughtering several dozen Dark Jedi.

At my school we have one water fountain that is ice cold in the Winter and burning hot in the Summer.

True, but he wouldn't always be halfway. Sometimes he might have been 1/4, or one time he might have been 1/10, etc etc.

They weren't really lightside anymore. They were honestly just storage cells of raw power.

Is this a joke? Vitiate would curbstomp Anakin. I'm sure even Tempest would agree with that, lol.

Malak was the undisputed ruler of a vast Sith Empire AND he was being significantly amped. Before the fight he was casually choking two Jedi at once without even looking at them and killed them with 2 simultaneous Force attacks, while still choking them.

And I was more talking about how just don't see Anakin: Fighting through hordes of Sith and troops, defeating amped Bastila 4 times in a row, defeating the room of unlimited droids AND THEN beating Malak several times in a row.

I'm talking about skill. Anakin is a master of just one form, Revan is a master of tons. Surely that's relevant in discussing their respective skill.

Dooku is masterful of tons of different forms, Makashi is just the one he loves so much he ****s it.

Lol, no it isn't. Not even close. Give me a sledgehammer and I could probably collapse that roof. All Anakin did was damage it enough that it collapsed on its own.

Its vastly superior to Anakin's. And its canon.

Its an indication of raw power.

I don't care, I'm only pointing out that its a great feat.

I wonder if Anakin could do it...... mmm


At my school we have one water fountain that is ice cold in the Winter and burning hot in the Summer.

Pfft, we literally have dozens around the school that are cold year-round. /richspoiledpeeps

True, but he wouldn't always be halfway. Sometimes he might have been 1/4, or one time he might have been 1/10, etc etc.

Or 7/10ths. We don't really have know. Also, as I mentioned before, the reserves of those Jedi are not as large as Malak's, it's unlikely that a single one would replenish a full half of his energy realistically.

Nothing in Star Wars is realistic.

Doubt it. The feat terrified Dooku, and made him rethink the Sith's position in the universe.
