But it isn't referring to the Reborn, it's referring to Dark Jedi Masters, which Kyle also slaughtered.

Ah, that. Thought you might have referred to the Shadowtroopers or something.

Same thing could be said for HoT or Meetra, tbh.

Who cares? Neither are in involved in this thread. Save your biased agenda for someone that gives two shits.

And the ones Katarn fought were listed as "matches for Jedi Masters" and were stated as being "high-level villains in any era"

Uhh, no. The quote was talking about Dark Jedi in GENERAL, not the ones Kyle faced specifically. Learn to read and comprehend once in a while, lmao. In fact, Kyle never even faced Dark Jedi as far as I know. Only Reborn and Shadow Troopers.

And then he goes on to best Desann.

Desann has no overly impressive feats or accolades to his name, so no.

Add in a couple of decades of power-growth, and prime!Kyle should be performing such a feat at his leisure

Kyle was never stated to receive any significant growth in power after the events of the game, so get that fanon shit outta my face.

You can't bullshit the greatest Katarn debater there is, kek.

Here is the quote that states that Caedus was distracted, btw.
I could see, why you would doubt it, tho.

Yes, facing multiple opponents will do that to you. This is not what I had in mind when people screamed "He was distracted!".

Both those two are ahead of Jinn as it is, which is why I'm mentioning them.

It's referring to the Dark Jedi Masters serving under Desann and the Empire Reborn, actually.
And yeah, Katarn did fight them, unless my memory is rusty.

Desann has collapsing structures larger than ships; being considered by Luke as a potent foe; and the ability to imbue the Force to other living beings, making non-Force sensitives into Force sensitives.

Strikes me as overly impressive, tbh.

That's why logic exists. 👆 Going from a relative newbie with the blade, to the Battlemaster of the entire Order is obviously a pretty big leap.

You can deny it, but it's ridiculous and unfounded to do so.

This was due to the Valley of the Jedi, don't think under his own power unless it's stated somewhere.

Actually, Threats of the Galaxy states that after absorbing the power of the Valley of the Jedi for themselves, Hethrir and Desann were given the power to imbue others with the Force, or something along those lines.

Ah, yeah I see it. Though it says artificially and I recall that Luke said something along the lines, of using the Artusian crystals to do that.

I wouldn't say it was something because of army busting, no

It's referring to the Dark Jedi Masters serving under Desann and the Empire Reborn

Quote, please. Also, when did he right Dark Jedi Masters? During the Yavin and Doomgiver stages, every foe Kyle fights are either Reborn, or Shadow Troopers.

Desann has collapsing structures larger than ships

Solid TK feat.

being considered by Luke as a potent foe

A dime a dozen accolade really.

and the ability to imbue the Force to other living beings

Via special crystals, and how is this combat useful again?

Strikes me as overly impressive, tbh.

I mean, it's impressive, but hardly jaw dropping. Sources have gone on record saying Desann is still striving to becoming a master of the dark arts and such.

Kyle wasn't a newb during Jedi Knight II: Outcast, he had formerly trained for some time and everything, and even had an apprentice in Mara Jade Skywalker. 😬

Plus, it's not exactly relevant how long Katarn was a Jedi for, giving the NJO gave out titles significantly faster than the old Order.

Well technically none of them are true army busters, since they took on group after group, at which case it's more a matter of stamina. : Shrugs

Turns out they just served the Empire Reborn. I looked over the Speed Run of JKII and couldn't see them. : Shrug

Wait? What special crystal? And it implies a good deal of raw power.

TotG claims Desann has mastered the Dark Side, despite his lack of experience -- which to beings of great potential doesn't really matter anyways.

He was a "Jedi failure" throughout most of the game, actually. He's even abandoned use of the Force, which is why Desann initially stomped him like he did.
Only afterwards does Mara seek him out for him to help her train.

Sure, but the fact that he was considered as a worthy replacement for Kam Solusar as the Jedi Battlemaster implies a growth in skill, at least in a technical sense, IMO.

The Artusian crystals.

Oooh yeah... Those things. mmm

Dropping my point on Desann imbuing Force powers to fodder, then.

Why is everyone wanking RotS Vader all of a sudden?

It's not all of a sudden. It's been happening for the last several months.

That's assuming Kyle is even all that good from the start, lmao.

I think beating an almost Darth Vader peel opponent is pretty good lol. And then an injured caedus could ragdoll him. That’s proof right there that caedus is stronger than all versions of Vader.

Caedus sweeps and he hasn't been debunked. Only idiots would say that. George lucas himself has said that prime suit vader>ROTS Anakin and caedus has been stayed many times even by luke ducking skywalker himself to be far superior to vader. So you peole need to make up your damn minds. Going on FEATS and STATEMENTS caedus=Yoda>prime suit vader>k nightfall vader. These are the facts that people just have to live with whether they like it or not.

KFV ****stomps here lol. I love Caedus, but he is most definitely not at the level of Yoda, ROTS Sidious, or KFV.

KFV just conjurs an image of Vader sitting on his plantation in a fancy antebellum white suit and sipping a mint julep.

The Dark Side is the best part of the chicken.
