Darth Nyriss vs. Galen Marek

Originally posted by Emperordmb
As far as lightsaber combat goes, I'm more impressed with Nyriss utterly shitting on Meetra and Scourge than I am Marek being an inferior duelist to Shaak Ti but one good enough to compete (which is his best dueling feat as of this point considering Vader was holding back against him in spars and his other two lightsaber wielding foes of note have only their fights with Galen to wank their dueling skill off of).

Some phenomenal circular logic there 👆

"Shaak's not that good because Galen wasn't good at that stage. Galen's shit, he couldn't even beat Shaak Ti, and she's his only measuring stick"

Right, top class debating from DMB once again 🙂

We know it's likely Shaak was being empowered by the Light Side nexus she herself created and that she grew in power between her magnaguard feat and TFU. She also had the environment aiding her during the fight. That's 3 things in favor of Shaak without taking into account the hindrances Galen suffered that you failed to take into account dmb.

Sorry friend but I have to agree with Sel here.

How dare you, Sel. How. Dare. You.

This circular logic is getting ridiculous.

TFU Shaak Ti can't be quantified outside of her fight with Galen, so it's pointless to scale him off of her. She could be weaker than Qui Gon or more powerful than Dooku; we have no clue.

What we can actually use is the fact that Galen at that point has already pulled off the feats that make him a Force Titan that could squish Nyriss like an insect.

Well we do have a baseline for Shaak given she isn't featless pre TFU.

Well Ti didn't really have many duels pre-TFU either. As I recall she fought and killed one of Dooku's Dark Acolytes, then 'fought' Grevious twice, one of which she was overwhelmed and the other she was stomped.

What's important is that she's a celebrated swordsmaster, and considering she evidently possessed the strength, speed and stamina to contend with Marek, he would himself have to have possessed appreciable skill with the blade to defeat her.

Beyond that Marek's feats speak for themselves.

Better than dildoing to Ti's pics at least. Her only major appearances has her play a punching bag for actual relevant characters.

A weakened Meetra and a Scourge who empowered by Dromund Kaas was her equal. You yourself told me in the call yesterday that you think multiple weak opponents do not equal a single greater opponent.

I am saying you can use Shaak to wank Galen's dueling ability since his fight with her is the most quantifiably impressive thing he's done as a duelist at this point, I simply don't think it puts him on Nyriss's level.

I'm saying prior to his fight with Shaak Ti he doesn't have very impressive or wankable dueling feats because his opponent's only dueling feats are fighting him so you can't scale him off of circular logic, and I don't think it works to wank her off of his dueling capabilities because of this. In any case I find her magnaguard feat a more impressive dueling feat regardless.

You did. It was in reference to the 4 Jedi Grievous faced vs when he faced Windu.

Why? What has Nyriss done off nexus?

A weakened Meetra? Lulz. Also, how were they her equal?

Yes. It's stated in the Revan novel.

No, it is not.

Even if it wasn't it's only logical given it was a dark side nexus.

But one moment.

All her feats were on dark side nexus'. 😬
