Darth Tyranus vs. Darth Nyriss

Nyriss's notable TK feat in combat situation is sending Scourge crashing into a nearby wall without a gesture. Scourge was as strong as Exile (Meetra), as of this point.

In addition, Nyriss's defensive potential was such that Scourge unleashed a blast of power on her that would have sent a standard Jedi packing across the hall but such force just slightly nudged Nyriss.

So yes, Nyriss is very good in the matters of TK, based on even limited information.

And, I don't think that Dooku can cope with Nyriss's deadly lightning bursts and sorcery for long.

Dooku really wishes he could his saber.

Corrections & rebuttals:

1.Scourge believes she would provide him with a real challenge, which is just stating the obvious really.

2.Dooku's 'defensive potential' allowed him to face opponents such as Master Yoda on fairly even grounds.

3.Tyranus has faced far stronger sorcerers in Mother Talzin and survived worse than we see Nyriss dish out.

4.She basically speed-blitzed them, Dooku is far faster and more skilled than either of them.

A gesture is all fine and good. But Dooku nearly killed a Scourge level combatant with the tap of a finger, and she couldn't do shit. Not to mention ragdolling Kenobi, sending Anakin packing and deflecting redirected lightning from Yoda. I bet his lightning would be able to ash people on a DS nexus.

I don't see that Dooku feat as that big of a deal, he hit her preemptively outside of combat and in such a painful way that she couldn't defend herself. In an actual fight he can't do that to her.

Also no way is Dooku ashing someone.

Dooku might possibly have better TK (something we have to assume due to the lack of showings Nyriss has in this area compared to him), but I think Nyriss has better lightning.

Occam's Razor. Dooku does have better TK there is no might possibly. By that same logic Dooku might possibly have better lighting than Nyriss.

Nyriss is an uknown in TK. There is not way to prove hers is weaker than Dooku's, just like there is no way to prove it's stronger. We have practically nothing on that area.

That's not the way that works. The burden of proof is on you to prove Nyriss has superior or similar TK to Tyranus. If you can't then the argument doesn't hold. We know she is able to throw around Scourge and Meetra. But I don't see that as above what Dooku did to Ventress on Vjun.

I know the burden of proof is on me, that's why I said we have to assume Dooku has better TK. If I didn't say it, I thought it. 😛

Then we are in agreement 🙂

Dooku wins excellent

Even off Vjun, Dooku could ragdoll Ventress quite easily.

^Indeed, even late CWs Ventress gets casually tooled by Tyranus aboard the Separatist Dreadnought once the Count gets serious.

Not that easily.

Easily enough.

I mean he disarmed her pretty easily once Savage wasn't around anymore.

Dooku stomps.

His precognition is such that he could foresee the moves of Ventress and two other nightsisters before they developed while his senses were dampened. He'd foresee what Nyriss is planning on doing and bombard her with object after object before she does it, then force grip her and finish her with lightning.

Dooku has tossed ships like they were nothing in JQ: The Final Showdown on Korriban for what that is worth. He also created a lightning barrier for whatever that's worth.

Idk if this impressive but he also ragdolled Anakin pre-AOTC

Dooku solidly

I am aware of that Dooku's feat but Ventress may have been caught off-guard in that time. In another confrontation, Ventress didn't end-up choked in this manner though Dooku soundly defeated her.

Dooku is undoubtedly very strong but so is Nyriss. The latter have spent decades as a practitioner of Sith Sorcery and have advantage in this manner.

We haven't seen much from Nyriss unfortunately, thanks to lousy writing of an author but we shouldn't assume that Nyriss cannot compete with the likes of Dooku.

Nyriss overwhelmed both Scourge and Meetra simultaneously, and I find this showing on par with Dooku's performance against Yoda (I am being generous in this case because Scourge and Meetra are both heavyweights in their own right and not to be underestimated).

As for the lightning, I don't think that Dooku is as proficient in its use as Nyriss.
