Anakin Skywalker vs. Arcann

Started by AncientPower4 pages

Context.

I doubt Malgus was more powerful than Satele, actually. Certainly a better warrior, who only lost because of outside intervention, though.

@Sin I've had the same stance on Anakin for ages.

Shan admits inferiority, before Malgus achieves oneness with the dark side in Decieved and then gets even more powerful in the years until False Emperor.

Yeah, Satele is pathetic compared to Malgus, who in turn is...rather pathetic. 🙂

then you started it. 😬

...not that it doesn't kinda make sense since Anakin is the ultimate Force anomaly of the mythos.

So pathetic that Sheev 'y'all sucked' Palpatine praised his pre-prime incarnation and gave his example for Darth Vader to follow.

I mean, his battlefield feats have never been duplicated or whatever but...who cares? Getting murdered by a strike team with no casualties but holding your own is something I honestly think Dooku could accomplish. After all, TCW Anakin/Kenobi are rather comparable to the TOR force user duo, and Dooku more than held his own against Kenobi/Skywalker. I prefer the Outlander's battlefield feats, myself, anyways.

Nah, the Wrath who shat on Nomen Karr, Wyelett and Baras combined with Nox who roflstomped Thanaton, with Cipher Nine who can defeat/outsmart Darth Jadus and the Bounty Hunter who killed an entire group of Jedi Masters and Knights. Much more impressive than pre-Outer Rim Sieges Kenobi and Skywalker imo.

Cipher Nine should have solo'ed Malgus if he could actually take Jadus. 🙂

TOR having consistent power levels is lolarious. Like, SOR Revan would be > Sheev if we all took the feats of the protags as they are.

Essentially, by the time the team kills Malgus I have them around TCW Kenobi/Anakin level, based on their performance against Revan in a most powahful incarnation.

Yeah. Although technically, Lucas and Stover started it.

If we're being serious, I think that Anakin should be almost impossible to use in versus threads without specifying his morals/state of mind, because unless you put him up against beings far above Jedi/Sith, he'll have so much more power that he can tap into compared to anyone else, and under right circumstances, this guy doesn't just destroy Dooku, he defeats the Son - Daughter duo. The fact that Dooku was able to fight Anakin and Kenobi at the same time in the very same duel he gets destroyed by Anakin also suggests that his state of mind is by far the most important factor in his performance, which makes it hard to assess how he'd do in a hypothetical fight, especially when he has no personal ties with the character he is facing.

So I'm not really sure how to approach versus threads with Anakin.

The Novel depiction of Anakin/Obi Wan vs Dooku, does not have to be taken as the total and ultimate state of affairs. Everything else; from the comic panels and theatre, seem to disagree with it. In the most canonical sense, Dooku's controlling the situation calmly by just managing to swat Anakin aside while removing his master from the picture. Dun Moch is the catalyst for the popularly coined 'Zonakin' which is his peak operandi, and outside of that, he's either stalemating Dooku or rests slightly below him.

Nah, Arcann's good enough to challenge him. He's inferior in virtually every way that matters, though, and by a fair amount.

TL;DR: "If you choose to ignore the novelization like I do, then my bullshit makes sense."

Furnace heart gets riled up to Father level and stomps.

Even DMB gets it. Get with the program, Sin.

And why can't we ignore the parts of the novelisation that aren't correct, Sasuke? 😮‍💨

The novel directly contradicts the movie. It's mostly safe to ignore it outside of maybe some character thoughts and extra scenes.

Yeah if a part of the novel directly contradicts the movie, then it's bullshit.
