Ben Kenobi/Ahsoka Tano (Rebels) vs. Cade Skywalker/Darth Nihl

Force, sabers, all out

Who wins?

Ahsoka > Cade (although Cade could win a few thanks to DT)

Ahsoka and Ben gang Nihl

Not sure, good fight.
Team two has both the MVP and the weakest.

Nihl's the weakest in sabers. Doubt Cade's above Ahsoka.

Team 2 takes Force, though, unquestionably.

Not sure about all-out.

Lmao @ Ahsoka > Cade. Cade's better in everything.

Is Cade really better in sabers?

He fought Reborn Krayt longer than Ahsoka fought Vader.

How many pages was it?

Malachor is a DS Nexus.

...But again, thats only in Legends, so whether its a DS Nexus or not is up for debate in canon.

3 off-panel pages where just reading out the lines with a realistic break between dialogues is roughly 1:30.

Same could be said about the Sith Temple filled with artifacts and holocrons.

Doesn't it cut from Krayt hurling Force powers at Cade to Cade dueling him? Or do we see Krayt actually dueling before the cut?

It cuts from Cade jumping at Krayt to them actually dueling.

It hardly matters tho. If you want to lower the length of their lightsaber duel, then that makes their force duel even longer, which puts Cade all the further away from Ahsoka's paygrade.

I'd hesitate to call that a duel myself. It was more of Cade surviving Krayt's powers, rather than genuinely responding in kind.

But actually, the fact that the duel was longer kind of lowers Krayt as well, as opposed to just raising Cade, since I believe that for most people, the basis for Krayt being so high in sabers is because he defeated Cade so quickly. So if the fight was drawn-out, Krayt may no longer be as high-up as he once was.

Lmao, then Vader is lowered as well because he can't beat Ahsoka quickly. What kind of argument is that?

Huh? Vader was controlling the fight. That's what people based their ranking of Vader on, not how quickly he defeated Ahsoka.

I'm saying that many people's perceptions of where Krayt lies as a duelist comes from what is perceived as his best feat - defeating Cade Skywalker near-instantly, within a page. Now that it's 4 pages (ergo, such a feat of defeating Cade quickly doesn't exist), Krayt is inevitably going to be lowered by those people.

I don't remember people first going for the Cade fight when talking about Krayt's skill.

There's the Kenobi scaling, The IK blitzing, fighting equally with Muur, beating Wyyrlok handily.

I recall people thinking the Cade fight was his best feat. Almost nobody cites him fighting evenly with Muur, either - that's more of a feat for Muur.

Either way, Cade looks to be better than most people have him, then.

Nihl's still the weakest, though. It's plausible that Ben could hold Cade off whilst Ahsoka takes down Nihl, then the two gang up on Cade.

I'm not convinced of this off-panel argument though, seems to me that those events are concurrent with the second half of Cade vs Krayt considering this panel seems to follow on from this panel in terms of dialogue.

On topic Cade is combatively more powerful than Ahsoka, but little evidence suggests he is as skilled. She can hold him off while Ben kills Nihl imo, or (preferably) vice versa.

Yes, the natural counterargument would be that off-panels reflect events happening in simultaneity as the panels beforehand, not continuing onwards (by much, at least).

Krayt had to touch Cade to enact Dark Transfer. That counts as a breach of Cade's defenses.
