Jaina Solo vs Darth Plageuis.

Started by carthage3 pages
Plagueis doesn't have any good TK feats. Jaina doesn't either but she tanked TK of Caedus who has TK feats rivaling Luke. So I don't see how Plagueis can take her out with Force.

He's lifted massive boulders to stack to escape a way to get out of the cavern on Baldemnic. He's forced Sidious to the ground, force choked Darth Sidious, and caused an earthquake when fighting the Maladian assassins, as well as disintegrated the assassins, had lightning that disintegrated the pirates on the Woebegone, and also spread over an entire landscape. What force feats does Jaina have to compare?

In sabers again Plagueis has literally no good feats. Jaina fought 12 Slayers together with Luke and Caedus. One ill Slayer easily defeated Kyp Durron in comparison. And since then she improved farther by incorporating mandalorian training into her style

Too bad none of those Slayers moved fast enough to be perceived as a red bolt of lightning, knew Plagueis's style perfectly, and challenged Plagueis to the point where he had to use Battle mind to beat him. Has Jaina ever fought through hundreds of droids and dodged their blaster fire, gone through hundreds of Kursid warriors and emerged unscathed, or smashed through armored torso, snapped necks with her bare hands, or moved as fast as Plagueis?

Her duels with Caedus all had circumstances against him, she isn't fighting a near half dead fighter who is heavily injured and she doesn't have an amp.

Seriously. Give me at least one impressive thing about him apart from the ability to survive sever blood loss. He fought a featless Bith apprentice. He killed with TK a few non-sensitive mooks. Anything else?

People have listed feats here, and you have shown nothing that shows Jaina is superior to Hego.

Atomizing people with TK blast ? Shaking the ground with enough force to knock out highly trained assassins ? Force choking young Palpatine ? Collapsing a cave very quickly that even Tenebrous didn't noticed ? Using dual heart stun ?

Plagueis has very very good TK feats, he can even move microscopic beings with his TK as well, some people are forgetting that TK feats are not only about collapsing caves or moving spaceships, sometimes controlling tiny things requires great mastery of the force as well.

For example ; Dooku using TK on small knife from a significant distance, it is a good TK feat ;

Plagueis stomps.

Its a standard Jedi practising technique to manipulate air particles. And Bane was manipulating sub-atomic particles in RoT. Hell, iirc Jaina herself was capable of creating light by manipulating atomic particles or whatever, as a child.

I assure you I was being totally sincere.

I was, and I am, very proudly so. Thank you.

Seriously? I don't think I rate Plagueis as high as some, but he was described as having very high speed, he trained Sidious to fight, and he dueled a dueling focused warrior specifically trained to beat him.

That's not my image of feeble, even if he does use the force to clinch the contests versus *strong* foes!

To be honest I was greatly exaggerating. Its undisputable though that Plagueis duelling skills are nothing outstanding.

Yes he's fast, but speed and skill are two different things. Training Palpatine doesn't really mean much by itself. Yeah, he gave him a foundation to build on and taught him the techniques but any fighter will tell you that just knowing the moves isn't enough.

Would you claim that whoever taught Michael Jordan must be as good as him?

Also he only beat that " dueling focused warrior" because of his strength in the Force. Same way he wins all his fights.

More like versus any foes. When has Plagueis beaten anyone primarily through swordsmanship?

And considering it's your area of expertise, what notable duelists (other than Caedus) has Jaina defeated? Also, does she have any good TK feats?

lol'd. That doesn't even make sense.

We could ask the same thing of Plageuis.

That wasn't an argument, I'm genuinely curious.

Still beats Zannah vs Tholme by a longshot.

Yeah that video was awful too.

Have you actually read both of those fights and understand the context?

Please don't take this as a serious measure of their relative abilities.

If Jaina were still canon: Plagueis's (Windu's style-esque) fast-paced style and build would have some difficulty in overcoming her allusive acrobatics, as with Yoda.

Jaina is a Skywalker, so her power-level would be comparable enough with Plageuis to win.

So I do agree with his surmise, although Plageuis' omni-ranged telekinetic capabilties is what would give him a win if anything.

In fact, Jaina never showed the ability Vitiate and Plagueis had to disintegrate opponents, indicating his overall power level was more extreme. Plagueis could make more calculations to better utilize his TK than the video would indicate. Plagueis had greater Force speed as well. Honestly, considering their combat applicable Force powers, probably Plagueis more than not.

Lifting boulders is nothing knew.
Flooring apprentice Sidious with TK? Nothing impressive. When did that even happen? Sidious was caught off-guard with Force choke by his own admittance, so nothing impressive. I can with same success give example of FotJ Luke helplessly getting pinned by FS of a random Sith but who cares.

Too bad none of those Slayers moved fast enough to be perceived as a red bolt of lightning, knew Plagueis's style perfectly, and challenged Plagueis to the point where he had to use Battle mind to beat him. Has Jaina ever fought through hundreds of droids and dodged their blaster fire, gone through hundreds of Kursid warriors and emerged unscathed, or smashed through armored torso, snapped necks with her bare hands, or moved as fast as Plagueis?

Slayers were fast enough to be challenging even for Luke. I will point out that single Slayer defeated Kyp Durron. Jaina fought through countless Vongs, dodged and blocked their projectiles, which unlike blaster bolts cannot be perceived in the Force.
Perceived as a red bolt of lightning? Need I point out that it is just a hyperbole? Speaking of which Jaina dodged lighting, does it make her faster than lightning? 😕

Her duels with Caedus all had circumstances against him, she isn't fighting a near half dead fighter who is heavily injured and she doesn't have an amp.

In final fight with Caedus she wasn't amped. While Caedus had only one hand, one-handed style can be as good as two handed style. Circumstances or not Caedus actually has impressive quantifiable feats. Plagueis did not fight any impressive opponents with good feats.

People have listed feats here, and you have shown nothing that shows Jaina is superior to Hego.

Useless feats.
Even if Plagueis did disintegrate those guards, that does not prove anything. As I pointed out Yoda and Windu did not disintegrate anything either, doesn't make them any less impressive. Apparently it's not a hard task to disintegrate considering that Zannah could do that even as 6 year old child.

Indeed, he showed himself well against non-sensitive assassins. Jaina defeated mutiple beskar covered mandalorians in comparison.

Also, killed half dozen Sith together with Luke on darkside nexus. Also, fought simultaneously and killed multiple Sith in Apocalypse.

What? Zannah's feat only disintegrated a child's hand, and she was like 12, not 6. Days earlier Zannah also defended herself from a storm that ravaged the planet's surface.

Plagueis conversely disintegrated 6 armored maladians. It's on a completely different scale.

Zannah also has one of the highest force potentials in history. Saying that somethings easily because she did it is like saying it's easy to levitate or block the Force Storm because she did it.

Whatever scale. Again, how does it prove his TK is superior to her? It's unfair to compare TK of Jedi and Sith in such manner because Jedi do not disintegrate things.
