Yoda vs ROTS Darth Sidious

Battle takes place in the same place, but there are no soldiers, time constraints, or anything like that, to the death.

1. Sabers

2. H2H

3. Force

3. All-Out

Wow! This has never been done before! Thanks for the thread Jmanghan!

Yoda never really lost, he kinda just gave up :/

I was wondering what would happen if he was forced to defend himself to the death.

We see them fight on screen and it was a stalemate /thread.

I'd say Sidious in h2h, and Sidious by a very slight margin in every other match.

Yoda takes sabers and H2H, force goes to Sidious slightly, and all out is dead even.

That is definitely non-canon as it is very clearly contradicted by the movie.

N-canon or not, Yoda is fully capable of replicating it. He's stronger than Sidious imo.

I analyzed their bladelocks once. Their strength actually seems evenly matched.

Sidious' facial expressions show he's straining, Yoda's do not. Yoda also later disarms Sidious he's his superior in swordsmanship.

It never shows how Sidious loses his weapon and there may have been a huge environmental factor in their duel on the podium. So I looked at their other feats and Sidious's performance impresses more than Yoda's performance against Dooku.

Sidious takes this again with mid difficulty.

That's just how they fight. Sidious expresses emotion when he's trying, Yoda on the other hand is dead serious and focused when he's trying.

Yoda shows when he's struggling as per him trying to absorb Sidious' lightning.

Nice cop out. Yoda disarmed Sidious fair and square, Sidious retreated into the Grand Convocation chamber because he knew on even ground Yoda would be victorious. Also Yoda's duel with Dooku is pretty irrelevant to this discussion.

Which is totally why Yoda lost the fight. lol

Yoda went after Palpatine in the empty Senate chamber, but could not defeat the most powerful Sith Lord in history.

Because one fight is a determinant over which combatant is superior. lol

It is. Yoda gave him somewhat of a fight, but Palpatine proved he was superior. There isn't much to add they're on the same tier, but Palpatine edges him out in just about every category. I'm surprised this is so hard to accept.

Remember when Sidious killed Yoda? Yeah, neither do I.

No, but I distinctly remember Yoda running after losing

He also couldn't kill Yoda as that would've ****ed up continuity issues with the OT, ergo making Luke being able to defeat Vader a virtual impossibility.

Nice try though 👆

Yoda admits that he didn't have what it takes to defeat Sidious. That being said they are closer than Carthage seems to think.

I said they were on the same tier, I just said that Palpatine edges him out by a little.
