How powerful is Knightfall Anakin?

Started by Geistalt6 pages

[Vader] tries it with anybody he thinks might be more powerful, which is what the Emperor was looking for in the first place: somebody who would be more powerful than he was and could help him rule the universe. But Obi-Wan screwed that up by cutting of his arms and legs and burning him up. From then on, he wasn't as strong as the Emperor – he was like Darth Maul or Count Dooku.
– George Lucas, Rolling Stone #975
We now know that the intent was for him to be exactly as powerful as RotS Sidious.

"off"

Still screwed up by quoting Rebel95.

Above Dooku, bellow Jerec.

On Yoda's level

Knightfall Vader is probably the strongest iteration of Vader in terms of his combative skills. Later versions of Vader are obviously more powerful in the Force, but I just view KnightVader as a complete wrecker who couldn't be stopped.

Totally agree

He's in the same tier as the likes of Revan, Caedus, Nihilus, Kun and Plagueis.

The "unparalleled Force abilities" accolade is from an objective, third person source. It was not stated by Palpatine.

Nah it's from Palpatine in LOTS.

I really wish they had shown Anakin at the Jedi temple easily cutting down multiple Jedi at once... oh well

That's what we were all hoping for Lol

Between Dooku/Mace and Sidious/Yoda

Below Windu, slightly.

Nah, he's above Windu in Knightfall.

nah, cause like I pointed out, Anakin is emotionally immature and vulnerable to dun moch. The novelization states that Dooku started winning in the end until Sidious intervened.

10/10 means stomp, and Anakin was working just as hard as Dooku to defeat him.

More like 7/10

11/10 would be a stomp.

IF he is, it's by no sizeable margin.

Pre-Knightfall Anakin showcased a noticeable edge over Windu in battle in the ROTS video-game, before beating him in single-combat.

Nick Gillard worked extensively on the ROTS video-game and had this to say about it:

What’s your approach to working on a film project? How is it different to work on the game?

On a movie, obviously I have a script. I know the story of the movie. I know how the characters are feeling, why they’re fighting, where they’ve got to go. I think it’s going to be pretty much the same on this game. The sets are all the same. The characters are the same. I’m going to take the same approach—I’m just going to get it much more detailed because it’s much tighter than it is on the movie, and there’s so much more time with the game.

Stronger than ROTJ Vader.

What Ant said.

Also Anakin hadn't eat or slept for several days as noted in the ROTS novelization. This was probably countered by him having to protect Palpatine. From what we saw in the video his rage wasn't prompted.

Mace level. Approaching Dooku level.
