How bad of a combatant is Valkorion?

Exactly how bad is the Immortal Emperor in a combat situation?

He'd lose a bar fight

Absolutely shit. His idiocy has been detailed here:

He's not a bad combatant. Being taken off guard isn't grounds for being a poor combatant.

It is when you start ignoring people that you know for a fact are your enemies and have lethal weapons, and just start giving up your back to them.

To be honest, he is not a bad fighter. He is officially credited for being a brilliant tactician.

However, he could afford to be a bit careless in a combat situation because he could cheat death (when the Outlander impaled his avatar, he infiltrated the mind of his opponent and laughed while doing so). He did not seek formal training in Jedi dueling arts either so that is a minus as well.

Virtually anybody can be caught off-guard in the heat of a struggle.

But it takes a special kind of person to do so consistently. 🙁

1. Darth Vader managed to grab Palpatine from behind and throw him into a shaft.

2. Han Solo managed to shoot Palpatine from behind, disabling his last clone.

Seems like Palpatine has a knack of getting knocked off from behind. 👆

The only truly embarrassing moment for Tenebrae in a fight is when he got too close to Hero of Tython to realize that the latter might score a hit on him. Perhaps, he was really frustrated during this time due to disruption of his ritual and consequent loss of power. However, people have picked this single example and blown it out of proportion.

Being stabbed in the back by someone you believed to be completely under your control isn't the same as being stabbed in the back by someone trying to kill you. 😱

Because he was too weak to defend himself yeah. 🙁

😂

Do better.

That scene where he charges at HOT while using force lightning and HOT blocking it then slicing through him was pretty stupid.

What's your point, dickhead? How does that negate the fact that he was taken by surprise?

If Valky tried harder, he would handily eviscerate most in combat, if all his power hype and his accolades are actually true.
