Wolf? Is that you? 😛
Nah, the advantage of his apprentice thinking he knew his master's true capabilities but actually not and his opponent having tired himself out against Imperial force beforehand.
"The apprentice understood that,until this moment, they had never truly fought as equals." - The Force Unleashed.
The first quote you post is after Galen mused knowing all about Vader and then it states
"He thought he was ready- and so the sheer severity of the opening blow took him by surprise." - The Force Unleashed.
The second occurred after Galen taunted Vader for not having a father and for using him as a replacement for a son he never had enraging the Sith Lord.
"I understand you now," he said, still trying to goad his former Master into breaking his concentration. "You killed my father and kidnapped me from Kashyyyk, not just to be your apprentice, but to be a son to you. Was that how your father treated you?"
LOL. Post the whole damn quote rather then constantly abusing singular passages.
"He beat back the telekinetic attack with one of his own, shoving his master in the chest with the force of a small explosion, throwing Darth Vader backward across the room." - The Force Unleashed.
Lol. And you accuse me of selective quoting.
If you'd like I can provide you several with Galen scoring direct hits on Vader with his lightsaber or legitimately holding him in his force grip and Vader being unable to escape from it.
Except he only matches him in regards to sabers. If it had been all out Vader would have simply ragdolled him. Also you forget Galen BEAT his Vader.
Except Vader wasn't equal to Galen and Luke by RotJ was only equal to Vader as a lightsaber duelist.
The first legitimate point you've made though I'd point out that Sidious himself is stated to be a DS nexus and a focal point of the Dark Side.
Incorrect. I already posted the quote but directly after this it states Galen actually had no idea what Vader's capabilities were also Vader had just fought through Imperial forces as I mentioned. Those are the advantages Vader held. Also the only times Vader has an advantage is right off the bat when Galen thinks he knows the scope of his opponent but actually doesn't and when he is enraged by Galen's comments. He attempted to choke Galen which worked for a moment before he was completely trashed in a contest of the Force.
Why? Dooku is able to contend with Yoda because of his skill even though Sidious should have the same amount of speed as a person who blitzed the B team. This can only mean Yoda is far less skilled then the Count in technical skill to the point he is unable to disarm him due to the disparity or that Dooku is far faster then the members of the B team.
Does he give him a "hell of a fight" when amped by Leia perchance?
Galen wasn't enraged. The novel makes not that he's denying the Dark Side and seeking a better way to defeat his Master. Also I was talking about Vader being unable to break out of Galen's hold.
"A better way to kill... Not out of hatred. Whatever lay beneath that black mask, it wasn't beauty or happiness. Only ugliness and pain would hide itself away for so long. Hatred would not be enough to turn the tables on Darth Vader." - The Force Unleashed.
"I don't need to hate you in order to beat you, that's something I will teach you now." - The Force Unleashed.
""I don't hate you," The apprentice went on, blocking him blow for blow. "I pity you.""
"He raised his gloved hands to defend himself, but the battery continued."
I've done both. Why would Vader have cloned him again in TFUII then? To get another trained acolyte? Why not just rely on the Inquisitorius or the Hands? Personally I think Sidious found out about Vader training him and took over it using Vader as the medium.
"It's pathetic to back a character you don't even know the backstory of. I am not sure why I humour you, Syndicate."
If that's truly what you think then I honestly don't know why you do either.
Lol. No force user can replenish their force reserves insantly, regardless of the Dooku quote you have where he "washed away his weariness."
This post was addressed to Ell. Like RotJ Luke being Vader's equal simply because he matched him in blades. How am I contradicting what's being presented Wolf? What no limits fallacies am I using Wolf? Where have I ignored or over exaggerated context aside from Byss where it just hadn't come to mind. If you think I was ignoring context then you should probably learn to not accuse people of things before you know for sure. It's quite insulting. If I'm not worth debating don't debate me. I get the feeling you're more frustrated then amused but really it's your choice to be either. No need to get worked up about a SW debate mate.

Apologies friend. You spoke to me in the same manner as he does some times.

Lol I know. He once tried saying that magnaguards are lightspeed thus Ahsoka who fought 3 of them at once and one in TCW had to AT THE VERY LEAST be a significant fraction of lightspeed. Nearly had an aneurysm.

At best I would say a blaster bolt is hypersonic, but that is reaching it. I do not understand how he's respected on ComicVine... Must be a fun, little, dumb world over there.
Slugthrowers are hypersonic, I think plasma bolts from blasters are slower but I'm not really sure.

Pretty sure the quote being referenced is that magnaguards process things at lightspeed (which I guess they sort of do in a meaningless way...as does my computer), but that's pretty dumb if he thinks that translates to them moving at lightspeed.

No. The quote says reflex -- an action or movement made by reacting to something. But that is an outliar, honestly.
