Candidates for Tier 8 combatants?

If tier 8 is like Kenobi's tier, I could see Arcann, Maul and Katarn there.

It isn't as difficult as people are making it out to be.

Carthage do you have Kun and/or Malgus above Obi Wan in sabers?

No

Malgus, Maul, Kenobi, Arcann, Ashoka, Vos, Fisto, Bulq, Ventress.

In no particular order, these are some possible Tier 8's.

I think any combination would have to be a mixture of force power/skill. This tier would certainly be the most debatable, and I'd think that placement is probably based by small amounts. IDK but it'd be something like this (Also not listing Tenebrous due to lack of showings, but he'd probably be the apex of the tier)

HIGH

Dooku, Arcann, Darth Maul, Jaina Solo, Darth Malgus, Darth Nox, Emperor's Wrath, Ulic Qel Droma, Barsenthor??, Ahsoka Tano (Rebels). ROTJ Luke. Cade Skywalker

Notes: Ahsoka might be mid due to lack of force feats. Barsen might be mid due to lack of skill feats

Mid:

Bulq, Mara Jade Skywalker, Savage Opress, Darth Malak, Aryn Leneer, Saba Sebatyne, Obi Wan Kenobi, Asajj Ventress, Darth Nihl, Agen Kolar,

Low: Meetra, Zallow, Katarn, Jinn, Talon, Fisto, Koon

Jinn so close to Obi-Wan?

Probably not. The whole reason I put him there was how he apparently humbled Bondara and was able to hold his own against Maul.

Peak ROTS Obi Wan still lacks force showings that would have me put him higher up hence why I have him mid.

Bump

Mace 🙂 🙂 🙂

Maul, Obi-Wan, Dooku and perhaps Vader

Canon Vos will definitely be tier 8.

No way Opress or Ventress are 8's though. Gillard confirms 8 and 9's are the elite only.

You made ILS and Syn cry.

Looks like Mace is a high-end 8 or a low end 9, which probably makes Maul a low end 8, Kenobi a mid 8, and Dooku a mid-to-high end 8. Enigma most likely qualifies as an 8 as well.

As for EU characters, I'd nominate Caedus, Jaina, Droma, and other duelists of similar calibre.

You'd put Caedus as an 8?

Nah, Caedus is 7 tops.

👆 Zoltan's got it.

Ahsoka could be in 8.

Imo: Vader, Tyranus, Windu, Maul, Kenobi, Jaina, Cade, RotJ Luke, Ulic, Exar, Outlander, Wrath, Arcann, Tenebrous, Mara, Exile, Bane, Zannah, Saba, Ahsoka, Revan, Malak, Muur, Galen, 'killer, GG , Malgus

May Tier 9: Caedus, Krayt
May Tier 7: Savage, Ventress, Nihl, Talon, Traya, Kyle, Corran, Nox, Barsen'thor, Agen, Aryn, Bulq, Wyyrlok

Take away Wrath, Mara, Zannah, Saba and Galen and then I could agree with it.

And Maul's probably a mid-8 by SOD.

Explains why Mace wasn't just blitzing him the way Palpatine blitzed the B-Team.

Also as Ant pointed out, Mace's borderline 8/9 could be a reference to Vapaad boosting him against Palpatine.
