Darth Vader's Lightsaber Skills

What are some of Vader's best dueling feats? I know some of them, but not as many as I would like to.

Canon or Legends?

Composite lightsaber feats. So it doesn't matter, Legends and Canon both.

Hmmm...
I don't recall many either, under them would be his fights against Kenobi, Tano and Luke of course, and his fight against these Jedi Woman(Dark lady? Black Lady?) IIRC he also has beaten several Jedi shortly after RotS, has endaged(and won, I think) Galen in a Saber Fight, and has fought against Celeste Morne.
Just of the top off my hed, so some of them might be wrong tbh.

I remember all the ones you mentioned, those are really the only I can remember as well.

Surviving against the Jedi Enclave until stormtroopers arrived.
Duelings 4 or 5 Jedi simultaneously before TK'ing them.
Logically being more skilled then he was as Anakin.
Beating Muur empowered ( though not possessed ) Celeste Morne.
Stalemating and showing superiority as a lightsaber combatant to Starkiller.

Some of these feats I mentioned are before Vader's prime. Logically he would have grown as a lightsaber combatant after some of these feats and he's confirmed to have grown considerably in ESB and RotJ.

I forgot that Morne was being empowered by Muur, that makes that feat a lot better.

Ye.

@Nova Lol, I mentioned all except for the second xD
He should also has an fight against Ferus Olin, in which he stomped him. Not sure if he had used his saber here, tho.
This ones are his most impressive imo.
He should also have Sparring Sessions with Lumiya, I suppose

Morne wasn't empowered by Muur. She was refusing to accept his aid and he was taunting her the entire time. All she was doing was getting distracted by his spirit, lol.

Housing Marek on Kamino. 👆

Mm I've been starting to doubt Vader's skills with a Saber after looking at his feats :/

His 'style' just makes no sense either

She was being empowered by Muur but Muur wanted her to draw more of his power IIRC.

His style is based around making up for the weaknesses of his suit.

That's not what I ****ing meant. Christ.

Then what do you mean ching? Use your words honey. 🙂

You think I don't already know his style was based around his suit? I mean in animating sense :/
The only real way they could have a fight between him and someone who's fast paced and crazy like Maul is if Vader is on the offensive ALL THE TIME.

Which he would be.

Regardless, choreography from visual mediums is NO way to assess a character's combative abilitiy. Going down that route leads to EvanNooba, Reticent4 and JenIsSorry.
