How bad of a combatant is Valkorion?

Yeah, to date this is still an unrivaled display of lack of combative common sense.

Agreed. If he tried harder tho...

Tbh I really cannot think of anything worse than this for combat..it's the single most dumbest move ever anyone has ever done in SW.

Maybe if the writers did better, you mean.

All his hype/accolades only apply as of the tor era, and hence have no bearing on how he stands against true powerhouses like Luke,yoda, sids, Jaina, anakin and plagueis,

or mace

or dooku

Exactly.

It would have made more sense, if it had just been the Hero moving forward, force Vitiate back until he had been cornered and then given the killing blow. There's really 0 justification for Vitiate moving forward, his combat sense is literally 0.

that's what vitiate gets for ruining revan as a character in sor

Conversely, you have the example of his fight against Revan where he made sure that Revan would not get close to him to deliver a killing blow.

Tenebrae was very calculative in combat situations prior to forming VOICES.

OR he was frustrated in that fight due to loss of power? Keep in mind that he could cheat death....

So why would he get in close to the Hero with a ranged attack? It makes no sense from where you look at it.

Tenebrae was very calculative in combat situations prior to forming VOICES. Even with VOICES, he fought well at times. Look at this fight against the Jedi Strike Team led by Tol Braga (perfectly executed).

There was nothing perfectly executed about the Strike Team fight, lmao. He had ample time to gather his powers and was able to stand from afar in complete safety and assail them with a Storm. The outcome was entirely a product of his far greater Force power; nothing to do with his combative talent at all.

And had one of them attempted a saber throw he'd have been done for. 👆

Scourge would probably save him. 🙂

That's what he'd think, cluelessly unaware that his own lackey has been lying to him for 300 years. 🙂

He wasn't. facepalm

And miss out on Unbowed continue to humiliate himself? I'll pass. 🙁

That all the cleverness you could muster up?😂

Since you're such a fan of quotes:

Lol, that's cute.

Maybe call your little buddy Tempest in for backup...
