Darth Bane & Darth Zannah vs. Anakin Skywalker & Obi-Wan Kenobi [SABERS ONLY]

Started by DarthAnt666 pages

Why the hell are we bringing in that tier list shit here?

Actually tempted to give the win to team 1 just because someone tried to pull the tier card.

I legitimately laughed out loud because of Ant's comments on this page. 👆

Real question is in what way doesn't he surpass Bane, tbh. Maybe unpredictability?

DMB, as much as you object to the list, the whole POINT of the thing is to use it as a resource in these threads. That is the purpose for its existence. It's quick reference sheet so pointless battles are dismissed for the pointlessness they are.

Anakin is superior to Bane due to defeating Dooku, who is also superior to Bane.

Wonderfully specific. It definitely gives a legitimate way for him to get through Zannah's defense. He'll just grab her wrists and oh wait

No. The tiers were made, according to Carthage, as a way so people would not report him anymore for saying Bane and other characters are weak. You can't really expect to pass that BS on a page filled with people who support Bane.

Using a list such as that as an argument as to why one character beats another is inherently flawed in and of itself, even disregarding the fact that the list was made, coordinated, adjusted, and moderated by a person with a completely blatant anti-Bane bias. Even disregarding that, using a tier list as an argument is flawed.

People would report him for saying Bane was weak... 😬

Basically this. The fact that Anakin was able to overpower Dooku in the fashion that he did places him securely in the highest echelons of the mythos as a duelist, simply because Dooku himself has some of the best lightsaber feats there are.

@Ares 👆 Extremely unfair, tbh.

And the way Anakin overpowered Dooku isn't replicatable against Zannah so it's pointless to bring up.

....It seems I owe you guys an apology.

I had thought the purpose of the list was to serve as an impartial judge to streamline vs threads.

At least, that's why I've chosen to work on it.

Well for one thing, I'd say it would. Secondly, I'm not pitting him against Zannah.

Nah, it was for other means. We still love you though. <3

Zannah vs Obi-Wan seems unlikely to happen.

Zannah uses a saberstaff. Anakin (or ObiWan, for that matter) is precise enough to cut the saber staff in two, as happens to Maul pretty much all the time. Once Zannah's down to a single bladed saber, she's not that tough to deal with.

...and to think I worked so damn hard on that list to get Mara up to an 8 Force Side. Oh well.

Happened to Maul once. There is a massive difference between once and all the time.

You can't cut it in half so easily because the spinning blades will catch and redirect the slash before it reaches the handle. And a thrust is easily blocked by moving the hilt a half foot to the right. Anakin's Djem So doesn't utilise thrusts anyway, its a power move style. If it were so easy, Bane could have tried it. Yet even when in RoT when he vastly surpassed her he didn't go for that and used different methods. Not once does an opponent even go for her hilt to my knowledge.
