Gauntlet: Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano

Started by Beniboybling10 pages

I wouldn't say Satele's saber feats are all that amazing, but they demonstrate clear talent. More importantly though she's got decades of battlefield experience under her belt, much of which would have involved lightsaber combat.

And seeing as all Ahsoka has is hype and her duel against the Inquisitors, I say they break even, for now.

I think Anakin is a better duelist than Malgus and Ahsoka likely a better duelist than Shan. If Ahsoka defends admirably against Vader's Force-attacks in Rebels, I think there's a good chance Shan's Force-use against Ahsoka won't be overwhelming her. There's also the fact Anakin and Ahsoka share a Master-Apprentice bond that would help with synergy. The only wild card is Malgus's Force-abilities, so I think Malgus & Shan could definitely pull some wins with that, but I think the other factors are more relevant.
Malgus is a pretty good duelist himself, but I agree that Anakin is a better duelist. Sadly, Malgus' superiority in the force is bigger. I'm excited about Ahsoka vs Vader too, but as of now I doubt she can handle Satele's superior force showings, and even if she can, it would still be a close fight. On the contrary, team work favors Malgus and Satele as Malgus can unleash maelstrom or other devastating attacks. Satele would just have to survive for a short instance for Malgus to summon force attacks. I can't see Anakin and Ahsoka taking the majority tbh.
And I'm not touching Revan, lol.
Because you know he ragdolls Ahsoka and then kills Anakin with his much superior command of the force. 🙂

Even if we're blowing Malgus despite all the evidence to the contrary, Malgus isn't the type of combatant to spam Force attacks, and either of Team 2 could deal with Satele handily.

How long did she last against Malgus? Like 15-20 seconds?

And what skill feats does Baras have?

What do you mean how long she lasts? Their duel goes on for a large chunk of the trailer.

And honestly Baras is sort of an unknown. We know he's proficient with lightning and that he's powerful enough to be on the Dark Council or at least to convince the Council that he's the Voice.

Malgus > RotS Anakin in the Force

10/10 an hero material

She lasted a solid few minutes. Didn't do as well as Zallow, but still a few minutes. If you haven't seen the Hope trailer for SWTOR then I'd suggest watching it, you' get a really good look at her fighting style and Force strength. On the Baras front, his saber feats consist of pretty much solely consist of training the Emperors Wrarh II; however that was years after his fight with Satele so not really worth mentioning tbh.

The trailer's entire span of fighting wasn't even a few minutes long, but Satele lasted a few minutes, kek.

Since when did Malgus become Anakin's superior in the Force?

Are we talking about the same thing? Malgus's and Shan's 1v1 in the Hope trailer was like ~30 seconds long.

Indeed, her agility and Force-strength was impressive.

Good to know. 👆

Probably the clearing of a cave with tons of rubble around the time he fought Kao Cen Darach, the shaking of an enormous transport with his rage alone and overwhelming the strike team.

Note: This isn't me saying he's stronger simply why people might think Malgus was stronger.

At least as of RotS, per feats, Malgus is superior to Anakin in the Force. I agree, though, that suit Vader surpasses him.

Malgus doesn't even have great Force feats, lel.

This is shit Kanan can do half trained.

I can remember Anakin collapsing a 90x30 dome in Labyrinth of Evil.

lel ok.

Easily TKs prepared Jedi.

Leaping high over the male’s cross-slash, Malgus landed behind the Togruta, who parried his lightsaber strike but could not defend herself against a Force blast that sent her skidding across the hall and into a pile of rubble.[I/]

Uses a massive TK blast that sends people, doors and his own ship flying away.

[I]When the crowd did not respond to his demand, he slammed a fist into his palm and let anger-fueled power explode outward from his body. Screams sounded as the blast shoved everything away from him in all directions.

Bodies flew backward, slammed into one another, into the walls, against and through windows. The transport he’d rode on lurched from the blast. The doors of the medical facility flew from their mounts and crashed to the ground.

With casual ease rises up statues from the rubble and directs them at a Jedi.

When she landed atop a large chunk of stone ten meters from the Sith, he made a cutting gesture with his free hand and two pieces of statuary rose from the rubble and rushed toward her from either side. She leapt into the air and they smashed into each other beneath her, spraying shards of rock.

Against Lord Adraas (some Sith fro SWToR)

Malgus held forth his hand and the rage within him manifested in blue veins of lightning that discharged from his fingertips and slammed into Adraas. The power stopped Adraas's charge cold, blew his lightsaber from his hand, caught him up in a cage of burning lightning. He screamed, squirming in frustration and pain.

Malgus unclenched his fingers and released the lightning. Adraas fell to the ground, his flesh smoking, the skin of his once handsome face blistered and peeling. Again he rose to all fours and looked up at Malgus.

Blasts Aryn Leneer with TK.

Malgus bounced up from the somersault and loosed a telekinetic blast that lifted Aryn from her feet and blew her across the hangar.

Malgus, heavily injured, against a Jedi:

At 10 meters, Malgus extended his free hand and loosed veins of blue Force lightning. They struck the charging Jedi: swept through his defenses, swirled around him, and began to burn flesh.

Shouting with pain, the Jedi leaned forward into the lightning - teeth bare, blue blades held before him - and staggered toward Malgus. Despite his burns, he came onward. One step, another, another, but he was failing, wilting in the heat of the lightning. Malgus channeled more power and the Jedi fell to his knees, screaming. The lightning spiraled around the Zabrak, blasting dark holes in his body. The lightsabers fell from his hands and he writhed in agony, screaming his pain into the sky.

Destroys a stone column with a mere scream.

Anger refilled him, overcame him. A shout of hate, raw and jagged, burst from his throat. Power went with it, shattering a nearby column and sending a rain of stone shards through the room.

TKs a guard against the whole, crushing bones and killing him.

He crosscut the guard before him, putting a black canyon in his chest, continued the swing through the guard on his left, and with his left hand used a blast of power to drive the third guard into the Temple wall hard enough to crush bones and kill him.

Kills a Jedi and two Padawans with lightning, simultaneously.

Malgus, not to be outdone, picked a Jedi Knight at random, a human female ten meters away, held forth his left hand, and discharged veins of blue lightning from his fingertips. The jagged lines of energy cut a swath through the battle, harvesting two Padawans as they went, until they caught up to the Jedi Knight and lifted her off her feet.

She screamed as the lightning ripped into her, her flesh made temporarily translucent from the dark power coursing through her. Malgus savored her pain as she died.

In the middle of a fight against another Jedi, crushes another's Jedi's throat.

A human male in his twenties rose up out of ruins, dangling like a fish on the hook of Malgus's power. His legs kicked futilely; the green blade of his lightsaber cut at empty air; he gagged as Malgus's power squeezed shut his throat.

"Vorin!" shouted the Zabrak.

"So much for your ambush," Malgus said, and closed his fist, crushing Vorin's windpipe. He let the body fall to the charred earth.

Chokes and kills another Jedi with ease.

Another Jedi stepped in front of him, blue blade held high. Malgus barely saw him. He simply extended a hand, pushed through the Jedi’s insufficient defenses, seized his throat with the Force, and choked him to death. Tossing the body aside, he moved toward Zallow.

Before he even was in his prime, he blasts away tons of metallic rubble off him.

Malgus stood in a pocket under a mountain of rubble, legs bent, the power from his upraised hands preventing several tons of duracrete and steel from crushing him. Dust made his already troubled breathing more difficult. He coughed as the words of his father echoed in his mind.

He'd been sloppy, so lost in his need for revenge that he'd failed to properly evaluate the Jedi's power. He'd surrendered his reason to bloodlust. But no more. With an effort of will, he contained his anger, controlled it, made it a whetstone against which he sharpened his power. Using the Force, he blew the rubble up and away from him. It fell with a crash into the adjacent buildings. A Force-augmented leap carried him out and over the heap. The Jedi's eyes widened as Malgus hit the street. Malgus sneered and charged.

TKs the Strike Team in 'False Emperor' simultaneously.

Brings the Strike Team to their knees with lightning.

Is able to perform Force Maelstrom.

Really, safe to say he does have great Force feats.

I've read Malgus's respect thread, but thanks for copying and pasting it here.

Pretty obvious Kanan can do all that shit lmao

You said he had no good feats, I replied. So you're welcome. If you've read about his feats, then why are you even saying he doesn't have good Force feats?

Seriously doubt it.

Kanan's already done comparable things, lel. Fact is, a bunch of none combat showings and killing fodder randoms isn't impressive if it falls flat in the face of someone actually powerful, like a mid-tier TOR protagonist. Don't see the HoT dropping buildings, like a random Jedi can, but I'm pretty sure he can take them on. Combat showings matter more than anything.

Right, so any Jedi can just blast away tons of metallic rubble away? While injured?

Also, TKing the Strike Team and bringing them all down to their knees with lightning, not impressive in your book?
