Obviously not, mainly because Revan loses. biscuits

Dooku edgeds Revan out. 👆

This:

is better than this:

Just let the knowledge of that seep within you.

Cool.

Dooku's edge in sabers is greater than Revan's edge in the Force. Let that seep within you. 😉

Oops, forgot to address this:

Now even if Revan is the more powerful force user, it's not to the extent that sabers won't matter. It will. Revan has beaten a larger group; however, it did take him more time, and likely more effort, with the dominating attack used being stated as a slow process. Dooku's opponents have better feats and comparable accolades, unless proven otherwise, and he has utterly wrecked the likes of Vos (EU), Kenobi and Ventress, even when some of them had help on occasions. But the ease in which he's dominated these individuals along some of these individual's partners, no I'm not accepting the notion that Revan is considerably above Dooku based on what the majority thinks. Even if many on my side agree with Revan's alleged superiority, I don't, and I believe I backed my stance pretty thoroughly.

Nice job S66 and very lucid way to put the key points across 👆

Dooku's superiority is sabers is undisputed in this fight, and his Force mastery is not lacking either.

All-out: Dooku wins 6/10, GG. biscuits

Dooku did beat Ventress, and she can solo the entire TOR era alone.

I'm laughing so hard at S66's post my tears might be collected and sold enough for his sister to be set free.

Probably respond Friday. Or maybe tonight.

Revan's intent here was killing his opponents.

You're starting off your grand argument with some hardcore speculation about Revan while debating the person who knows more about Revan than any person living or dead. Interesting. Revan could have wanted them dead, perhaps. He certainly wanted the protagonist dead throughout the story arc. That being said, I find it hard to believe that, in this situation, he wished them to all be bloody corpses on the floor. His plan was a mass ritual driven by the deaths of all the people present on the planet to fuel the Emperor's return. Killing off Darth Marr, Satele Shan, and the Emperor's Wrath (using him for example), some of the most powerful beings in the galaxy - in history, instead of simply incapacitating them then killing them via the ritual later would certainly fit his goals a lot better. The Emperor mocked Revan for not accounting for war deaths into the equation, so suggesting that the deaths of those individuals in combat would have aided his ritual is a mute point.

Your only fact-based argument that Revan wished them all dead would be that "Revan was slowly destroying them" with his Telekinesis. If you wish to embrace this fact, then so be it, because then you have to accept the fact he would have killed them all if not for the intervention of his spirit. If you admit that he would have killed them all, majority of your argument goes down in flames and we can all sit around a circle taking turns laughing at your failures in life and forum debating.

Now, if Revan is as smart and tactical as you claim, then there should have been some casualties.

Revan is infamous for doing things both on and off the battlefield that have effects not seen that moment, but have enormous consequence for the future (Source: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords). Simply dismissing the lack of casualties as a lack of (a) feat is rather SIDIOUS66 of you. We have already addressed that there would have been casualties if not for the intervention of his spirit, and you seem to agree with that. There's also the obvious fact that obviously they wouldn't kill off a main character in a boss fight (nor would that even work unless they do a cutscene mid-fight), but that's not as much of a lore-based argument as much as it is common sense - something you obviously don't, nor will ever, have.

Dividing his power among such powerful beings, thus weakening the effects to such an extent that the attack in question was resisted by non force users.

If we are defining "slowly being destroyed" as "resisted," then might as well define "SIDIOUS66" as "good debater." 😬

And he did this stunt all over again?

Based off the fight, he tried Force Destruction twice (with a long break in between in which members would have time to be healed). Both proved unsuccessful due to his spirit.

I would imagine that with an attack of such potency, he would have rid himself of members; perhaps weak links or the most threatening ones.

I already addressed this: He was going to kill them all, just couldn't at the end due to his spirit freeing the captives from his power.

What I won't do, is accept the notion that the attack is going to take Dooku out when every single member of the strike team survived it, including the non force user, concentrated or not.

I'm not arguing Revan is going to use Force Destruction on Dooku (in which Dooku would be slowly killed over a long period of time). That attack seems far more useful against multiple opponents. I am saying, well actually stating, that Revan's telekinesis he displayed through throwing them all towards him, slamming them back against pillars, and then holding them in suspension via a Force Whirlwind will easily be used as a destructive offense against Dooku that will clearly overwhelm his defenses. Suggesting otherwise is believing Dooku's Force barrier / bubble is more powerful than Darth Marr, Satele Shan, Lana Beniko, and the protagonist combined.

If this were the other way around, would you accept that as being a valid argument against Revan?

You mean, if someone told me a character ragdolled that team and would killed them if not for an outside intervention beyond Revan's control? **** yeah.

This level of raw attacks Dooku has matched via TK or lightning.

Dooku was drugged and blind here. The drug also effected Dooku's force senses. Yet he dominated Ventress and two nightsisters with a lightning attack that lasted seconds before hurling them a great distance out of his window. Dooku was no doubt aiming to kill, but with the drug effecting him more and more, causing him to stumble as the fight went on, his main concern was survival and getting rid of them as soon as he could. Dooku ragdolled them to a greater extent then Revan did the strike team, and that's even if you want to take what happens in game play mechanics as the full truth.


This is honestly pathetic. I'm not surprised Freshest is laughing at you. I am, however, surprised I'm even wasting my time responding to this retardation.

No, ripping through the barriers of Asajj Ventress and two nightsisters don't remotely compare to breaking through the barriers of Darth Marr, Satele Shan, Lana Beniko, and the protagonist.

In fact, they are so not comparable as feats the fact I even have to say the above makes me want to cry. Also, not he did not "ragdoll them to a greater extent then Revan did." You want to see what Revan did?

He threw them all towards him, slammed them back against the pillars, and then incapacitated them via Force Whirlwind. The sheer act of slamming them against the pillars is greater than what Dooku did (throwing them against the window). Temporarily incapacitating them via the combination and Force Lightning doesn't compare to incapacitating the team for, theoretically, forever. And in such suspension would have also marked their death.

You're also bitching about how Revan didn't kill any of the people he fought. Dooku failed to kill the warriors he fought - and he only fought three. And oh, little Dooku was blinded? ***** please. Revan just came from a fight where he tanked enough energy to destroy everyone in a one kilometer radius and was in the radius of the Machine Core that violently stripped portions of his Force essence from him.

Here, he force waves Anakin and Kenobi, both of whom visibly defend against, yet were still floored, with the push also momentarily rendering the armored pikes in back of them unconscious despite the push being diminished by the combined power of Kenobi and Skywalker, both of whom either rival or exceed anyone on Revan's strike team. And I'll get to the feats of Dooku's opponents as well, just to prove my stance.

*scratches head* Uh, are you serious?

First off, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi hardly even budged. Compare that to Darth Marr, who's defenses is greater than any planetary shield, who was literally being sent around the entire map thanks to Revan.

Secondly, nothing suggests the duo defended themselves by unleashing a telekinetic attack in the opposite direction. It's obvious they are defending themselves from the attack. The incapacitated Pykes don't compare to the an incapacitated Satele Shan. It's also worth noting that they were back up again in a couple seconds. Pathetic.

In fact, I'm labeling this as an example of how trash Dooku is with the Force. A nearly identical event happened during Shadow of Revan that occurred after the cutscene but before the fight. Right when you engage Revan, he will unleash a blast that will knock everyone down on their feat (even though they are all ready for combat), and instantly kill the eight Republic soldiers next to you. Revan's killing these Republic soldiers instantly with the Force, compared to Dooku who is hardly incapacitating ****ing Pykes.

tl;dr: Dooku is trash. Revan is great.

TBH, EU Dooku has always been depicted as being so powerful that no single jedi could challenge him except Yoda/Windu/Anakin, of course. I mean, just look how he treats them (most of the time no jedi will challenge him by themselves).

Same goes for Revan. No one can challenge him alone bar Vitiate. To fight him, even two men teams won't work. You'll need an eight man team.

Not of the scans or .gifs you provided afterwards remotely compare to anything I've shown Revan done. Dominating Kenobi, Vos, or Bulq with the Force individually doesn't compare it to doing it to a collective group of extremely powerful Force-users.

lmao, that's why you're going to fail miserably. I'm playing no games, and what you're doing is certainly not what I'm doing. You have yet to prove Revan is that far above Dooku that a saber would be irrelevant. It's like, "duh this is what this discussion is about."

You sound like LeGenD when he makes a case for Vitiate. "too dominating; not need sabers; too powerful"


I have, actually. I went through everything you had to offer and, honestly, I'm not putting that above Darth Malak's telekinesis.

I know you and apparently Freshest have a hard time with either accepting this or grasping it, but Kreia doesn't know Dooku, so accolades from her or other in-universe statements don't apply to people who don't exist, and guess what? Dooku didn't exist in Revan's time. Not to mention that Dooku isn't limited to Makashi, which just so happens to be the best form for saber to saber dueling, so no nothing about any of this is sufficient in handling Dooku, who was right below Yoda in terms of saber prowess in the jedi order.

This argument has reached a level of retarded in which I don't even know what you're saying so I'm just going to guess.

Dooku is utterly irrelevant to this. The quote shows Revan's extensive technical mastery of all forms. There's nothing more to it.

We can therefore conclude that, since Revan mastered all forms of combat to unparalleled degrees, he is at least comparable to Dooku in technical mastery.

It's a two-part conclusion. The first is establishing Revan is a master of dueling. The second is comparing that fact with Dooku's praise and refinery with the blade.

I don't think you want to get started on battle precognition.

You really aren't anything to me, which is something you don't understand yet.

You're an inferior debater.
You're not a debater.
You're an inferior human.
You're an animal.

I'll debate you in anything regarding Revan, and I will win in every scenario on every topic on every post.

Dooku was able to best Ventress + two nightsisters with precognition alone.

First off, given Revan's hype and praise with precognition, that's hardly beyond him. Secondly, that's not even Revan's kind of precognition. Battle Precognition isn't Force-based. Thirdly, I'm not ready to attribute that all to precognition. It's more than likely it's just a display of extensive mastery over Force Sight, something that's not really combat applicable or an indication of power.

Ventress has bested Kit who can blitz Grievous's personal body guards which are equiped with ridiculous reaction speed, so that also speaks volumes of not only Dooku's precognition but his ability and speed to react to it while blind.

So, the bottom line it, we are comparing being far faster than Grievous' bodyguards to keeping up with the eight greatest beings in the galaxy at the same time with blaster fire, lightsaber strikes, and Force attacks coming in from all angles?

I understand the reaction times of the bodyguards as portrayed in the novelization of Revenge of the Sith. I also recognize the speeds they are portrayed at contradict basically every other source, and that the book also recognizes as Jedi being capable of moving that fast as well, which also contradicts every other source. It's inconsistent.

They're fast, but no where near eight guys and all the weapons they have who fought Revan.

*snip*

You listed a wealth of feats for Vos, Ventress, and Kenobi that are irrelevant. They don't compare to overcoming the combined might of the Force-users Revan fought. Your point would only have substance if he dominated them all together, but he didn't. They were all individually completed and thus not more impressive overall than individually incapacitating Darth Marr alone.

Furthermore, Revan's command of the force was stated to be greater than anyone she's come across. Command only means the ease in which one can control/summon what power he has access to, which can be a little or a lot. Doesn't mean Revan's more powerful than Nihilus.

Do you consider precise, intentional telekinesis as a demonstration of one's "command of the Force" or raw power?

Personally, I would classify it as an indication of both - but mainly the former.

If he escapes, he loses. Talzin is perhaps the greatest master of teleportation in the mythos. What edge did it give her against Sidious, and why did she fear facing him off of Dathomir? She didn't even go get her son.

Nope, that's not what I'm referring to. He can teleport to a different part of the battlefield arena then recuperate without having to "escape". Unlike Talzin (to my knowledge), Revan's displayed the ability to teleport mid-combat.

Ok, you're not good enough at this to act like this yet. Cutitout.

Final Thoughts: We haven't really got into lightsabers that much yet. Though in regards to the Force discussion, Revan clearly rapes Dooku.

BTW, fixing up some typos on the above, so sorry if some things don't make sense for people who like to read posts .0001 seconds after they are published.

<-----------

Ventress and two nightsisters had pretty much lowered their guard when Dooku hit them with that lightning. They assumed he was finished and Ventress at least had her saber raised over her head and unable to block his attack effectively. In the next episode she does actually manage to block his lightning with her saber solo, although her shoddy footing causes her to fall over.

Thanks, Neph. 👆

Is it the reading comprehension you're having trouble with, or just following entire points in general, since this isn't the first time with you.

No, I wasn't indicating that they were equals from those two showings alone. I wasn't even comparing those two feats exactly, though they may be comparable as far as Kenobi and especially Anakin have better showings with TK then any of them from what I've seen (though, like I said, it's never too late to prove otherwise), and the fact that they were visibly shown to mount a defense, yet the non force users were still rendered unconscious, and both Anakin and Kenobi floored (if you watch the whole fight on youtube, you can see that they were floored). What I was trying to establish is that dominating powerful opponents, even multiple at a time isn't beyond Dooku's ability, and so I'm not going to agree that Revan is miles above him just because he pushed a strike team down, or used some ability in which the circumstance is foggy. All I know from the in game feat is that he was whirling them around, and killing them slowly, but managed to kill no one.

In other words, it's the same as saying Dooku won't dominate Maul with the force despite holding superior feats. Maul has proven powerful enough to not get ragdolled by Dooku with the force alone. Simple. Now if you're not understanding or having a hard time grasping my stance, well, that's fine; I'm not the best in wording arguments, however I'm not interested in your whining or being in your feelings as usual. If you can refute my point then do so, as that's what I'm interested in seeing. If you can't, then your little remarks come off as you being whiny on account of your inability to do so.

@Nova, yes sir. Lol

@ Cart, Ventress is usually only dominated by Dooku or an angry Anakin, otherwise she's on par with majority of the jedi council members, most of whom hold accolades such as "the best/most power in history," being the order in it's prime and all. Her feats speak for themselves. That's why I provided a few.

BTW, thanks Stigma.

Revan can dominate Ventress and two nightsisters while severely handicapped because of his hype. Lmao, good counter Ant.

I don't know why those feats are being compared. If I took that Revan feat at face value, it'd be a feat on par with anything RotS Sidious or Yoda were capable of. Probably above them, honestly. Ragdolling Satele, Marr, Lana and one of the Force protags > ragdolling Maul + Savage or Dooku.

No, because he did it to a superior team while severely handicapped.

😮‍💨

I have yet to really mention Revan's hype besides Nihilus, tbh.

He really didn't ragdoll them though. And agreeing with Neph hurts your case. None of them mounted a defense for a force push.

BTW, prove he was severely handicapped. Wasn't that a nexus?

Is it not readily apparent that those 4 are well above the zabraks or the count?
