Sidious/Tyranus/Vader vs. Revan, Malak and Traya

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



Nikkolas
ROTS versions of the first team. An all out battle. Which team of Sith whin?

Note: No insta-kill for Traya.

Lightsnake
Palpatine's team by a nice margin

Dessel
Revan, Malak and Traya should easily win this. Revan alone is probably more powerful than any of these people, add in Traya and Malak and it's overkill.

darthsith19
Revan takes Sidious, Malak takes Tyranus and Traya takes Vader, Vader might be able to eventually take Traya but by the time he does (if he does) Tyranus and Sidious are dead and Malak + Revan pwn Vader badly.

Swirly Girl
Honestly, I don't see Vader lasting that long.

kamikz
How does Revan take Sidious, when Sidious is stated to be the most powerful sith lord IN HISTORY at the time of ROTS? And the fact that by TPM he was more powerful than Bane, and that mean's Bane at his highest point, not just the one we see in POD!

Nikkolas
Shame that the idea Revan could take Sidious, Dooku and Anakin is only fanboyism of the highest extent. Let's look at who they are: Dooku, who was agreed to be able to give Traya a fight or even beat her. Same goes for Malak. Agreed on both points that he can either stalemate or beat either of them in previous topics. Anakin beat Doou. So, if Traya will have problems with Dooku, she will have even more problems with Vader. Dooku was not only powerful, but intelligent. Malak was a hopeless idiot. He couldn't have done half of what was done had it not been for Revan. Dooku will definitely give him one hell of a go and Vader will dispatch Traya pretty early on and then help double-team Malak.

Lightsnake
Sidious>Revan, Darthsith. Just TRY to prove it wrong. Malak>Dooku? Advent's shut that up long, long since. And Lucas's stated to be on the level of Maul or Dooku, at eighty percent of Palpatine? He's not weak. At all

Dessel
Where's it said that ROTS Sidious is the most powerful sith lord in history? Heck, where does it say that he was more powerful than Bane?

Swirly Girl
Nonsense. Make your case, don't parrot that `the consensus` is `many people agree that` or so on. Appealing to the majority is a logical fallacy.



^ See above. This is annoying.



Au contraire. Anakin never engaged Dooku in a force duel, or the like. He engages him in lightsabre combat. We don't have any canon information on Traya's lightsabre abilities whatsoever.



Irrelevant. Malak isn't shown to be a stupid person, and quite frankly; since when has intelligence been a requirement for power? Anakin isn't precisely the sharpest tool in the shed, yet he's still a force to be reckoned with.



Honestly, you need to come up with more than spouting out `the consensus` or coming up with blatent untruths.

Nikkolas
Check out the Dooku/Malak topic, then... Sorry if I have comprehended the use of the Search function and you have not.



If you're as dumb as a brick, I don't care how strong you are. you're still a brick. or are you saying Leatherface is a force to be reckoned with because he's got a chainsaw? Well, let's put him against another, not insanely retarded guy with a chainsaw. Who will win?



Yes, it is annoying. Maybe you should look in other topics for info and if these things have been discussed before. You might learn something.

S_W_LeGenD
Sidious is good but their is no guarantee that he can always win in every fight.

Revan will give him one hell of a fight anyways. All Revan needs is to use his deadly "Force Storm" and Sidious along with his other companions will be in serious trouble.

Revan also knows some other deadly Dark Side powers that have not been revealed yet. So he is not to be under-estimated.

About Malak!

Malak is a good match for Dooku. Both of these Sith are experienced Makashi duelists. Malak is also very strong in the force and he demonstrated a good deal of force powers when we encountered him.

Dooku also demonstrates good deal of Force Powers. Both use Force lightening to max effect in battle. Malak can also use "Force Drain", which has not been demonstrated by Dooku.

Seriously, you people need to stop under-estimating Malak. He is definately among the most powerful Sith Lords in Star Wars Saga.

And Malak was not dumb or an idiot.

About Traya!

Traya is also powerful and can give good fight to Vader. Traya has demonstrated some unique force powers and abilities that many Sith Lords have not.

Revan, Malak and Traya have better chance to win this battle.

Lightsnake
And wait...Palp doesn't have Force storm? LOL. Wow, just apply Palpatine's name to the first part of your post....Unlike Revan, Palp studied from the Ancients themselves.

About Revan
On DE Palpatine knew Force Storm. No other Force user has ever used Force storm. And you are saying that Revan knows deadly Sith moves that he hasn't revealed yet. Okay Palpatine can devour the Force. He just hasn't revealed it yet. See how retarded that is?

About Malak
Where have you heard that Malak knows Form II? You are just making crap up now. Force drain is only an in-game move like Force heal. So are you saying that people actually have HP and somehow they are able to withstand lightsaber attacks?

About Traya
Okay I agree.

Dessel
Malak uses the force drain to drain the life of the jedi captives. This is not dependant on gameplay, in fact I'm pretty sure he's shown doing it in a cutscene, so it's canon.

Escape81
Nikk, if Traya has her instakill, it's pointless to make this thread.

RotS Sidious is likely inferior to Revan (though it is highly unlikely that Dessel's ridiculous assertion that Revan could take all of them), but he would easily be able to wrap him up in a fight for a little while. I see Dooku taking Malak, and I can see Anakin wrapping up Traya in a lightsaber duel. Dooku + Anakin = Traya pwned. Then, Sidious, Dooku, and Anakin can own Revan.

Btw, Swirly, Traya better use the Force quickly, otherwise Anakin will be all over her in a lightsaber fight. One, I don't see her standing much of a chance against him in a contest of lightsabers, and two, being faster, stronger, and more ferocious than her, I doubt she'll be unleashing a monumental Force attack during battle. Dooku was unable to.

Dessel
Why not? He's displayed far more than any of these people. He'd be able to take any of them alone, adding Traya and Malak is overkill.

kamikz
Wait, in the novelisation (G-canon), isn't Sidious stated to be the most powerful sith lord EVER? This includes Revan, and it should overrule any source that Revan has to him!

Lightsnake
Revan has, in no way, displayed more than Palpatine. Or Dooku.

Nikkolas
I believe it was the New Essential Chronology that said he was.

Dessel
Nikkolas, tNEC is written by an author inside the SW universe, and is thus fallible, and should never be used as the sole source for any point. Sure, credit can be given to events that are detailed inside the guide (though even this can be argued), however the opinion of a historian inside the SW universe (because that's all it is, a deduction based off of what the historian knows)) should never be used, ever.

Kamikz, The ROTS novel shouldn't be counted as canon, too many contradictory elements, and there's also the fact that it's based off of an early script for the movie, not the final draft. And even then, I'm pretty sure there's nothing about Palpatine being the strongest sith ever.

Lightsnake, what exactly has Palpatine done by ROTS? He only really gets truly powerful afterwards.

Displayed far more than any of them? Pathetic. Dooku > Malak. Anakin >> Traya in saber skills, and raw power. And, for Sidious, go see Sithisis. He was very powerful in RotS.

That you'd suggest he can take all of them is incompetent.

Dessel
Yes, his knowledge, achievements, and how the other characters fellate him make it pretty clear that he's damn powerful, Palpatine by ROTS is nothing special.



Sithisis isn't canon.

Escape81
RotS Sidious is nothing special? Ah, I see. Then, I suppose, given that Dooku or Sidious would lay the smackdown on Malak, he's nothing special either?

Or that DE Sidious would crush Revan in a fight, Revan is nothing special in comparison?

Once again, it's inept of you to dictate who is special and who is not. Darth Bandon is nothing special. RotS Sidious can lift three speeder sized objects, simultaneously, without any effort.



Based on...?

Dessel
By nothing special, I mean in comparison to titans such as Nihilus and Sion, people who Revan was able to rule over in a sith order where the strongest ruled.



Depends, are we talking SF Malak here, or just normal. I'd wager that SF Malak would defeat them.



We're talking ROTS Sidious here, not DE Sidious.



It's an infinity...

Prove Revan even knew those guys



Nope


Doesn't make a difference. Palpatine is a match for any of the other three


Which is why it was referenced in the Visual Guide

Escape81
So... like I said. Revan must, by your logic, be nothing special in comparison to someone like LotF Luke, LotF Jacen, DE Sidious, or Exar Kun, correct?



Well, considering how we're talking about Malak, with no 'SF' in front of it, it means regular KotoR Malak. Anakin > Malak in swordsmanship (and one can argue in Force powers), and Dooku > Malak all the way around.



Doesn't matter. By your logic, Revan is nothing in comparison to someone like DE Sidious.

Dessel
OK, this has kind of gotten slightly off topic. But remember, any of the sith in team 1 would be horribly outnumbered, Revan, Malak and Traya all together would be able to easily beat any of these sith.

Outnumbered? According to Nikk, it's all three RotS people vs. all three KotoR people.

- Revan vs. Sidious: Revan will likely dominate the fight, but Sidious will give him hell.

- Malak vs. Dooku: Dooku dominates the fight with superior skill, and kills Malak.

- Traya vs. Anakin: Traya doesn't have her instakill, so she'd better use some serious Force powers to put Anakin out of the fight. Anakin WTFpwned Dooku in a lightsaber fight, simply because he overwhelmed him. I can see him doing that to Traya - except quicker.

Then, it's Sidious, Dooku, and Anakin vs. Revan.

Dessel
Oh, my mistake. I thought it was Sidious or Tyranus or Vader versus the three.

jollyjim311
Sidious beats Revan, Vader beats Malak, Tyranus beats Traya. Game, set, match.

Over-confidence can lead to defeat my young apprentice! roll eyes (sarcastic)

ROTS Sidious cannot defeat Revan. His Force Lightening cannot stop Revan.

Darth Traya had the ability to wield three or more lightsabers in combat (just like Exar Kun) and she can cause more confusion and trouble for Tyranus and then she can overwhelm him with her force powers.

Vader cannot easily defeat Malak. Remember that Vader is vulnerable to Force Lightening and Malak is also an experienced Duelist. This fight is more based on chance and luck.

Malak even on Leviathan was not weak. He could use his force powers to distract or briefly stop his opponents and then retreat and then return with full strength. He can do the same against Vader.

Their is no need to prove that Revan knew those guys!

Nihilus and Sion were never mentioned in KOTOR because they were introduced in KOTOR II. And note that remnants of Revan's Sith Empire actually joined them.

Also, Revan knew that Traya has trained more then one apprentices. I don't remember the source now but someone did mentioned this here in one of the threads.

We are talking about ROTS Sidious here.

Revan has used "Force Storm" in Lehon against Rakatan Warriors.

Also, have you read "Darth Bane: POD" Novel? if not then read it!

It was revealed in that Novel that Revan knew some other Deadly Dark Side Force Powers besides "Thought Bomb" and "Force Storm".

Many people say that Malak demonstrates Makashi. But it does not matters that whether he uses Makashi or not but I do know that he was second best Duelist in the Jedi Order after Revan.

Force Drain is not an in-game Force Power. It is an ancient Dark Side power that has been used by many Sith Lords in KOTOR and pre-KOTOR era including Revan and Malak.

Thanks! you understood my points regarding Traya!

Escape81
I would advise that you stow your advice and follow it before giving it to others. Some of us have deduced from your other posts that you are a bit arrogant, to throw your opinion around and assume that it will stick, or that we should abide by it. That isn't how it works.



It sure stopped someone as powerful as Mace Windu. Yoda, Sidious, and Count Dooku have all been shown to be capable of deflecting and absorbing Force lightning (except when it's hitting them in the face and they are preoccupied from catching it - Sidious). Revan, however, has not shown such a capacity.

Also, consider that Palpatine was able to lift three car sized objects without any difficulty (simultaneously), which nearly nailed Yoda on three occasions, despite Yoda's immense speed. Prove where Revan is capable of dodging them, or what Sidious may do if he actually puts effort into it.

While I personally believe Revan would dominate the fight, Sidious won't be going down easy (or at all).



I'm not aware of Kun being able to do that, but I'll take your word for it. Count Dooku, however, is stated to be one of the very best duelists in history. The undisputed master of Makashi, which (other than Vaapad), is the ultimate lightsaber fighting form. I wouldn't hesitate to say that Dooku is a much better swordsman than Traya. Then, calculate that Traya's instakill is barred from the fight. I wouldn't put her that much above Dooku in terms of Force usage, if she is at all.

Dooku likely wins.



Vader's raw power and swordsmanship are superior to Malak's own. This is RotS Vader. Not suited Vader. He'll be all over Malak like shit on velcro. Dooku was unable to attempt to use the Force against Anakin, because of Anakin's raw tenacity.

Do you think that a person who can defeat an entire army could not have "immense knowledge in the force" and could do that with just his saber skills?

Use some logic!

Sidious is a formidable opponent.

Well! you made a good case here but remember that Traya's ability to wield more then 3 light sabers will cause distraction and will slow Dooku down and Traya can easily take advantage in that situation.

And yet this is what is said about Malak!

"Darth Malak was a master swordsman, and an adept Force-user, excelling particularly in such dark side skills as Force lightning, Life Drain, and Force choking. He also excelled in Lightsaber Throw and Stasis. Darth Malak used an improved lightsaber that produced a longer blade, if compared to the standard sabers. The hilt was identical to that of shorter lightsabers."

Now! you think that these abilities are not enough to stop Vader? Pre-Suit Vader does not even knows Force Lightening?

STOP under-estimating MALAK. He was only defeated by Revan and no one else!

Jollyjim has two things that you do not.

1) His opinion on the matter has been supported by others.
2) He has a reputation, and one that doesn't inspire "I'm always right, you're wrong, so don't bother debating".

As a new guy around here, and someone who does not have the luxary of strong logical support, it isn't your place to decide what happens. Don't try to pass off your opinion as fact.



Pick a new approach of debating with me. The whole arrogant aggressive behavior isn't going to cut it, and it's going to put me in the very same fashion.

Does Revan possess more knowledge than a sixty-something Master of the Dark Side, and heir to Darth Bane's order (who has, guess what, Revan's knowledge and then some)? Does Revan possess more knowledge than the former's eighty-year-old apprentice who has studied both sides of the Force for longer than Revan? No. And, does Darth Revan have more knowledge than a Jedi Grandmaster whose study of the Force and experience calculates to over eight centuries?

No.

So, until you can prove where Revan is capable of absorbing lightning, or that his knowledge equals to that of Dooku, Sidious, and Yoda, you have no point. Force lightning can harm and kill Revan.



You're assuming. Dooku was also a master of "taking advantage" of things. Once again, there is nothing to indicate that Traya is anywhere near as skilled as Dooku is in lightsabers. Without her instakill, her Force attacks won't be as effective. If she's more powerful than someone of the caliber of Count Dooku, it may not be by much at all.



Pre-suit Vader has a ferocity and raw power that knocks the hell out of Malak's. Dooku (who is superior in the Force to Malak) was unable to defeat Anakin, due to Anakin's raw power, and Dooku is trained in the most proficient form of lightsaber combat. Obi-Wan (weaker than Anakin) absorbed Force lightning from Dooku (stronger than Malak) using a lightsaber. Put two and two together. What the hell makes you think Lightning's gonna stop him.

The only one we know who is capable of effortlessly blasting through the defenses afforded by a lightsaber is Sidious.



Shut the hell up, dude. Wanna know why he was defeated by Revan and nobody else?!!?! 'Cause Revan killed him. Hard to be beaten by other people when you're dead.

The only one who beat Vader is Obi-Wan. Whoops! Guess that means only Obi-Wan can beat him? The only one who beat a suited Vader is RotJ Luke. Guess only RotJ Luke can beat him?

Why don't you try using some logic.

You can't stick to a single point can you?

And now "Force Lightening" can kill Revan? Which can be blocked by Light Saber?

Revan's knowledge is stated to be greater then all of the Jedi and Sith in KOTOR period. He could even manipulate Dark Side for his use and this is not enough evidence for you?

Yoda despite his 800 years of experience could not defeat Dooku and Sidious? right?

I believe that Dooku is superior to Traya in Light Saber Skills.

But he needs time to counter many Light Sabers that Traya will pit against him?

And at that point, Traya can take advantage. Is this hard to understand?

Now you are just assuming that what Vader can do agianst Malak.

Dooku was an old man when fought against Anakin in ROTS. Anakin was young and more agile and was also an experienced Duelist and had fought Dooku before to understand his style of combat. So, Anakin had better chance to win that second fight and he did.

And you forgot to note that Dooku actually did not used his force powers against Anakin during the duel in ROTS. He was over-confident!

Malak was young my friend. He was also wise and powerful and an experienced Duelist and he was also physically stronger then pre-suit Vader.

Anakin had no raw power and would rush over his opponents. A technique that worked over OLD Dooku but not on Obi-Wan (who was not even as powerful as Dooku was and got repeatedly pawned by him).

So, what makes you think that Anakin's technique would work over Malak.

You need to get out of this "Anakin Saber Skills better then all" mentality.

What makes you think that Malak would do the same mistake that Dooku did against Anakin?

He was defeated by Revan because many believed that only Revan could take him down.

Obi-Wan bested Vader because he was more experienced and not as arrogant as Anakin was!

Your opinion isn't supported by anyone, really. So, once again, enough with your "know-it-all" attitude.



Your cocky, jackass approach to debating with me isn't working. Quit acting like you know everything, or what you say is fact, and we'll be fine.



See, now this is what makes me think that you're stupid. READ (!). No one cares about your opinion. So instead of tossing your non-existent weight around here, pay attention to people who know what the hell they're doing.

When did I say that Revan > everybody in knowledge? Answer: I never did. I said it was a personal opinion that I'd put Revan as better than Sidious or Yoda. Doesn't mean he knows everything they do.



Once again: quit being a jackass.

Sidious blew Yoda's lightsaber right out of his hand in RotS.



KotoR period IS NOT the PT period. Point freakin' moot.



He forced Dooku to flee Geonosis, and then gave the Count an ass beating on Vjun.

He stalemated Sidious because Sidious is just that much more powerful than Dooku.



Third example of you being - guess what? A jackass. Is it hard for you to understand that "more sabers doesn't always mean harder time". Anakin used two against Dooku on Geonosis. Didn't stop Dooku from disarming him, and giving him an ass beating.



Pfft yeah... like you aren't assuming...



Dooku was an old man who used the Force to "wear his age better than most people half of his age". Sorry. Don't know many eighty year olds who can kick a twenty year old (Anakin) in the chest and knock him back several feet, into a wall. Well, guess what? Dooku did that.

Dooku's experience >>>>>>>> Anakin's experience.

Guess what? Anakin's raw power >>>>>>>> Dooku's raw power. Anakin was all over him, which is why he won.



Um... Dooku didn't have a chance once Anakin got pissed off.



Really? Doubt it. Size =/= strength in Star Wars. I believe Yoda is the author of a good quote on the subject: "size matters not". On a side note, he must have been a pimp of a Jedi Master.



"Anakin had no raw power".

That sums up your intelligence quite nicely.



Given that Anakin's raw power >>>> Malak's, and Anakin is better than Dooku (who is better than Malak)... I could see him taking this.



You need to get out of this "I can tell people what they need to get out of, because I'm a hard badass" mentality.



Yeah. Because Malak doesn't have a reputation for being an arrogant brute...



When I've been civil, quite nicely, and have asked you to stop REPEATEDLY (!) on various threads, and you continue not to, and you insult my intelligence (and that of others) by thinking you're Mr. Barry Badass, yes, it wears on my patience.



Guess what? That doesn't make sense at all. He was defeated by Revan because Revan was better than him. Not unlike Anakin.



Obi-Wan bested Anakin because his lightsaber form allowed him to grapple with Anakin's lightsaber form, but Obi-Wan was forced to constantly give ground, because even a young, defensive duelist like himself (with more experience) couldn't contend with Anakin's power. And, to top it off, Obi-Wan knew Anakin better than he knew the back of his own hand.



I was using your own logic.



By someone of raw power, and especially when Vader is conflicted about fighting his son.



But his experience, knowledge, and Force powers increased. Fair trade.

Are you deliberately trying to be stupid? The `consensus` can never be used in a debate; insofar as it's just a bastardised appeal to majority in most cases. Either you post information here, or you shut the **** up. Period.



You've basically twisted my words, insofar as I used Anakin as an example of what I meant. Anakin isn't exactly a thinker, but he's still powerful.



This was such an obvious strawman. You've twisted my argument, not even attempted to reply to the main point; then tried to smash it down. Guess what? Malak isn't indicated to be stupid or an imbecile. The most anyone comments on him is that he made rash decisions, or that Revan eclipsed him in intelligence.



Guess what? The onus is upon you to transplant that information here. I'm not gallavanting through threads just to find some obscure information, or to see that the `consensus was` et cetera.

Actually, this is fairly well answered and rebutted in my first post. Why don't you stop spouting out that `0mg t3h c0ns3nsuS w4s!!111` and actually provide information in this thread.

Sidious blew Yoda's lightsaber right out of his hand in RotS.
Well! that is a good point but Revan has "Force Immunity", which gives him power to absord many "Force Powers" for a certain time-period.

Revan also wears special suit that might have some defenses of its own.

But some said that Dooku wanted to flee in-order to safe-guard the secrets of "Death Star".

Traya does not wields those Light Sabers. She uses Force to let those Light Sabers fight against opponents on their own and she stands back.

Dooku's experience >>>>>>>> Anakin's experience.

Guess what? Anakin's raw power >>>>>>>> Dooku's raw power. Anakin was all over him, which is why he won.
Raw power is determined by Strength.

Anakin used "anger" to influence his duel potential against Dooku who is an old man by that time and was not as agile as he would be in his younger age, so Anakin over-powered him.

Yeah! he got angry and his anger fueled his saber potential.

Really? Doubt it. Size =/= strength in Star Wars. I believe Yoda is the author of a good quote on the subject: "size matters not". On a side note, he must have been a pimp of a Jedi Master.
Strength and Size are two different things.

Bigger Size does not necessarily means more strength. But "Size does Matter" theory also exists.

"Anakin had no raw power".

That sums up your intelligence quite nicely.
Raw Power is a natural power demonstrated by "Strength" of an individual in my mind.

It has nothing to do with Force Knowledge, experience or Saber skills. But Raw Power can have an impact on Saber Skills.

Anakin used "anger" to boost his Saber Skills.

"Anger" is not a sign of "Raw Power".

Originally posted by Escape81
Given that Anakin's raw power >>>> Malak's, and Anakin is better than Dooku (who is better than Malak)... I could see him taking this.
Now! you never stop assuming regarding Anakin and continue to under-estimate Malak, then I can't do much about it.

Malak's physical strength is much greater then that of Anakin, so he has "Raw Power" at his disposal.

Anakin's "anger" might be greater then that of Malak, so he might hold some advantage in pushing back Malak in a Saber Duel but still not enough to guarantee a victory.

Anakin might even take on Malak after a long duel but Malak would not just rely on his duel potentail. Because Malak is young and physically stronger then Dooku so he can manage saber fight better then Dooku.

If Malak and Dooku can commit mistakes then Anakin can also commit mistakes and he did one in his fight against Obi-Wan and lost.

Obi-Wan bested Anakin because his lightsaber form allowed him to grapple with Anakin's lightsaber form, but Obi-Wan was forced to constantly give ground, because even a young, defensive duelist like himself (with more experience) couldn't contend with Anakin's power. And, to top it off, Obi-Wan knew Anakin better than he knew the back of his own hand.
Anakin also understood Obi-Wan very well and rescued him on many occassions during dangerous situations.

Anakin lost because he was solely relying on "Anger" and forgot that "Obi-Wan was not an old man like Dooku" and was also being over-confident but he got his ass handed to him very well.

And yes! I believe that Vader was little less enthusiastic in kiling his son and this was demonstrated by his "defensive approach" in that fight.

I said this before.

But you also said that more anger and higher speed can allow you to overwhelm any opponent regardless of the capabilities of that opponent.

Pre-Suit Anakin did not had enough strength but had more anger and agility actually.

I fully agree that Sidious is most powerful Sith Lord but when fighting against opponents that are on par with him or even close to him means that they are very dangerous and can defeat Sidious.

I believe that outcome of fight can be decided by many factors. Even pure luck can fetch victory in some circumstances.

But being most powerful does not means being invincible.

We all know that what happened to Marka Ragnos!

jollyjim311
Whoa, sorry Escape, I shouldn't have to be an issue to debate. It distracts from the fight. If it's a problem I'll say why I think the ROTS team wins, although, it might just be restating arguments.
(All quotes from the ROTS novelization)

First of all, these Sith are from a more powerful era. "The Sith had changed. The Sith had grown, had adapted, had invested a thousand years' intensive study into every aspect of not only the Force but Jedi lore itself, in preparation for exactly this day. The Sith had remade themselves.
They had become new."

Sidious > Revan
"Lord of all Sith"
He's tied with Yoda, who is better than Revan. "The avatar of light, Supreme Master of the Jedi Order, the fiercest, most implacable, most devastatingly powerful foe the darkness had ever known..."
Can lift up 3 senate pods with ease.
Owned 3 of the best swordsmen in a few seconds.
Revan has never shown us anything near the raw power of Sidious, and has had much less time and a master not as powerful to guide him and focus that power.

Tyranus > Traya.
Tyranus put up a good fight with the force against Yoda, and could resist any force attacks from Traya long enough to get into melee. There he would stomp her in under 7 seconds, easily. As for levitating 3 lightsabers, Tyranus has fought(and crushed) Greivous, Asajj, and Sora, who all have multiple lightsabers.
"He gathered the Force once more in a single indrawn breath that summoned power from throughout the universe; the slightest whipcrack of that power, negligent as a flick of his wrist, sent Kenobi flying backward to crash hard against the wall..."

Vader > Malak
Malak is a moron, and Vader is hot headed.
Vader has way more raw power than Malak.
"The thunderstorm that was Skywalker in the Force boiled with sudden power."
"Mechanically inexorable, impossibly powerful, a destroyer droid with a lightsaber: each step a blow and each blow a step."
"...wield tremendous reserves of Force energy, but his sheer physical power was astonishing-"
"The shining blue lightsaber whirled and spat and every overhand chop crashed against Dooku's defense with the unstoppable power of a meteor strike; the Sith Lord spent lavishly of his reserve of the Force merely to meet these attacks without being cut in half, and Skywalker-
Skywalker was getting stronger."
"Each parry cost Dooku more power than he'd used to throw Kenobi across the room; each block aged him a decade. "
"That blue blade was everywhere, flashing and whirling faster and faster until Dooku saw the room through an electric haze."
Dooku was scared shitless of what would happen if Anakin broke through the boundaries of his Jedi training, which is what happens in this fight.
Anakin gets stronger the longer he fights.
"Dooku's decades of combat experience are irrelevant. His mastery of swordplay is useless...Even his knowledge of the Force has become a joke. "

Meh. I don't feel like posting anything else.

Well both teams can win but it depends upon who takes who first.

The Sith had changed indeed but not by much.

Some argue that Sidious got a huge chunck of his knowledge of various Dark Side powers from holocrons of Ancient Sith.

And these so called modern Sith Lords (like their predecessors) display same kind of arrogance, anger, beliefs and purposes.

Like all other powerful Sith Lords before Sidious, Sidious also wanted the same thing - "To rule the galaxy and to destroy the Jedi".

Every damn Sith Lord had same thing in his/her mind.

So, I don't understand that what has actually changed?

If you say that modern Sith Lords had more knowledge of the force then their predecessors, then sadly the tales of "Expanded Universe" is proving you 100% wrong.

Try to read some posts before coming up with same arguements again and again.

Here are some achievements of Revan:

- Revan became "Dark Lord of the Sith" and created a huge Sith Empire. This achievement alone rivals that of Sidious.

- He survived a betrayal that was impossible to survive. A shot fired by a large Laser Canon of an advanced Sith Cruiser. How many can survive this shot? I cannot say because Revan took a direct hit and his mind was almost destroyed but he was still alive. Very amazing indeed.

- Then he killed an entire army of Sith on Star Forge. To accomplish this, you need to be very very powerful in the force and also be superb in all other aspects as well. And this achievement shows that Revan was no less powerful then Yoda.

- He also killed a very powerful Sith Lord "SF powered Malak", whose powers were heavily boosted by Star Forge.

- Star Forge was a dangerous weapon to depend upon and yet Malak was able to take advantage from its power, which is an amazing achievement and so could have Revan. But Malak indicated that SF powered Revan would be "invincible". Now imagine Revan's power.

- Revan also demonstrated "Force Storm" on Lehon planet and killed large number of enemies in a single attack with it.

- Revan alone was nominated as a "Prodigcal Knight" by master Vandar, which was due to his immense skills in Saber Combat.

- And Revan alone was a formidable opponent for an entire Sith Empire that was capable enough to destroy entire worlds and Revan demonstrated his immense power in the Star Forge itself. Even his "SF powered enemies" (Bastilla and Malak) could not stop him.

- Revan was even heavily appreciated by his Mandelorian enemies, who seldom respect anyone which is noticeable.

Now, all these achievements are not enough in your eyes?

Do you think that Revan achieved this all due to just his Saber Skills?

No Sir! Revan was actually very strong in the force and he had immense knowledge of both Dark Side and Light Side powers.

These are reasons that Revan is so much respected and considered to be very powerful. His achievements speak volumes about his power.

And the reason that the Revan's reign as a Sith Lord is short lived is because of betrayal. Stop blaming Revan for his short-lived reign!

I believe that Tyranus is better then Traya but this fight is more dependant on luck.

Traya after distracting Dooku with her "force powered light sabers" will not just weight for him to end that challenge, She will try to take advantage from this distraction and this can be end for Dooku.

I don't need to say more!

Meh. I don't feel like posting anything else.
The words used in novelization are good but they look good in novels and not in actual fights.

Anakin's anger fueled him and also his potential with the Light Saber, and add to this his young age, more agility and already exceptional Light Saber skills, he proved to be too much for an old and physically weak Dooku.

This is what we could easily notice in that fight in ROTS.

Now, Malak is a totally different case!

Malak (unlike) Dooku is young, physically very strong and is more agile.

His Light Saber skills are also very good (just like that of Dooku) but he is not physically weak and old.

Old age always takes toll on your body.

If you are so fond of mentioning Anakin's victory over Dooku, then you also need to look what happened in case of fight against Obi-Wan, who was young.

I know that Obi-Wan knew Anakin very well but so did Anakin knew Obi-Wan more then enough to fight him. This point is already moot because of both cases cancelling the effect of each other.

And Malak is also very strong in the force (like Dooku) and Malak even demonstrates "Force Drain".

These things should be kept in mind when discussing fight against Malak.

Malak was no less impressive and powerful then Dooku and add to this, he was young and physically strong as well.

This fight can end up in both ways but Malak has more chances to win due to his obvious advantages.

Revan didn't survive a hit from a ship, his ship did.
Revan may have sneaked through the Star Forge.
Revan is powerful, no doubt, but not good enough to take down Sidious.
Sidious owned three of the best swordsmen in seconds, and has more raw power (although Palpatine doesn't completely outclass him here)/ experience than Revan.

Dooku owns Traya. He has far better showings.
You can't count luck as a factor in a fight.

" pushed this aside, drawing once more upon the certain knowledge of his personal invincibility to open a channel to the Force. Power flowed into him, and the weight of his years dropped away. "
Excuse me?
Looks like age isn't a factor, couple this with Malak being brash and Dookus force mastery becoming "a joke" while fighting Anakin, Looks like Anakin will whoop up on Malak.

Revan's ship was completely destroyed during the betrayal, though the Jedi escaped before the Cruiser went down. This was mentioned in KOTOR.

Sidious is not invincible. Yes! Sidious is little more powerful then Revan and I admit this fact but Revan is still a very dangerous opponent for him.

And Revan had no less raw power then Sidious and this was proved on Star Forge.

Dooku was a "Force User" and it is obvious that he draws his power from force itself just like all other Jedi and Sith.

But that does not means that OLD age has no impact on him. If he was young, then perhaps would be more fast and agile.

If his age was not the full reason then his "over-confidence" did led him to his failure.

And Anakin also became over-confident after killing Dooku.

And seriously, Dooku performed much better and seemed more agile in AOTC when he faced Yoda.

Malak has different approach for fighting his enemies. He uses other means more to dispatch his enemies then actually getting in a Saber Combat.

And given that he had more knowledge of Force then "Pre-Suit Vader", and he would use that knowledge on his enemies first so Vader will be pawned.

Wow, so have so many other Jedi. In fact, this may put him under Yoda who was sttaed to be the strongest foe of the Darkness and Revan falls under that category

Noone's claiming that

Wow, so did Palpatine!

Same as Palpatine's. Yoda's still stronger than Revan, by the EU's measure!

You mean putting Malak close by in a position of power? How pathetic of Revan. Luke as of Courtship of Princess Leia survived what Revan got on that ship


It's really not. Two out of three on Revan's team go down in short order

As you're wrong


Yeah, too ****ing bad for you, they're canon

IE: He was better

Yep, Anakin was better
? Dooku can outfight an all out Grievous.

Stronger and faster than Grievous?

You understand strength and speed usually mean jack in a real sword duel between masters, right? Malak is not a master of Form V. And Malak is not faster nor stronger than a full out Grievous

Not when you use the Force. Yoda lifts a goddamn house on his back at one point

Irrelevant. Obi-wan taught Anakin how to fight

Obi-wan is the best Soresu practioner ever, anakin wasn't thinking straight due to Padme....forget that?

An obsolete ability. He'd have used it on Revan if it were so godly

Kept in mind. Dooku wins

And Dooku has experience with those opponents

Tell that to Grievous

No! he did not. Some Jedi were still alive (Obi-wan, Yoda and Luke) and they changed the fate of the entire galaxy.

And their was a strong rebellion against his empire. And that "insignificant" rebellion managed to destroy their ultimate weapon "Death Star" twice, despite disposal of advanced weaponry and firepower from Emperor's forces.

So, like all other Sith Lords, Sidious also failed.

And Revan also had the power to wipe out all the Jedi but his goals were different. He was more concerned about the threat from the "True Sith" and was not so eager to destroy "The Republic".

Wow! strength determines that how much chance you get to hit your opponents in a Melee/Saber combat.

Speed detemines your agility and movements. They can make a lot difference in a Melee/Saber Combat.

Yoda used speed to maximum effect during his fights against many enemies.

Malak's forms are not fully determined yet.

You're the King of irrelevent points. Kinda like Legend here, arguing with you gets to the point of ridiculous quickly. Palpatine was the greatest Sith Lord in terms of accomplishments. As LS said, Vader was a tool. He could've done it himself, but chose to have Vader hunt down the remaining Jedi.

Don't like it? Disagree with it? Too freakin' bad.

Dessel
All I was saying was that Palpatine didn't achieve it on his own, whether you think he needed to or not, he shouldn't get all the credit.

Except he did. Why? he was responsible for all of it. He masterminded and planned it. The tools he used matter not: The credit is his

No.

Did Vader plan the dissolution of the Empire?

No.

Did Vader plan the course of the Clone Wars?

No.

I don't care if you think Vader deserves the credit. Palpatine planned it all and used his henchmen to execute it. Vader had zero part of the planning process.

Point moot.

You don't dictate what is fact and what is not. Vader doesn't deserve half the credit.

kamikz
Exactly. It's like saying that the clones should have as much credit as well, cause they were involved, or Dooku, or Grievous, but they shouldn't.....

Rampant ox
Why would Vader get any credit? He did nothing except for leading some clones into the temple. Dooku deserves the most credit after Sidious imo, but even then he was still being told what to do by Palpatine. Sidious had control of everything, therefore gets credit for everything.

He wanted to conquer Republic but he did not wanted to destroy it. He wanted support of Republic with him when he would face the the hidden "True Sith Empire".

Revan was Dark Lord of the Sith no doubt but he never truely fell to Dark Side like Malak did.

Stop this "Well Revan didn't really fall" BS, he most certainly did, however he didn't fall in the conventional sense that he was gradually brought towards the Dark Side or it was out of his hands, he made a choice and his choice was to become a Sith, much like Jacen and he turned to the dark side.

Now Revan may have not been dominated by the Dark Side letting it guide his actions and feelings but he was still a relatively evil bastard, lets not forget that this is the same person who had thousands of men and women slaughtered simply because they weren't blindly loyal to him, this is the same guy who corrupted and broke Jedi after Jedi, this is he same guy who as KOTOR described conquered the outer rim in a brutal fashion. He may have had good intentions starting off but they were soon warped, or as Kreia pointed out that may have been his personality all along and he really was a dick which is even worse.

And Revan most certainly wanted to conquer the Republic for his own, hence his arrogant view that only through HIS government and HIS control could the galaxy survive. If he didn't Im supremely sure the Republic would welcome the help of the man who single handedly saved their asses from the Mandalorians in a threat that is lurking in the unknown regions.

All Sith are Evil indeed.

No one said here that Revan never fell to Dark Side. What I mentioned was that Revan was not as much corrupted by the Dark Side as Malak was.

Malak as a Sith Lord was more brutal and he destroyed two worlds in KOTOR game as an example. Malak never understood Revan's true purpose.

Revan had great wisdom. He made smart choices, which could often be brutal but his purpose was different from most other Sith Lords.

He did not wanted to conquer the entire Galaxy or else this would be mentioned in KOTOR repeatedly.

So what? Your arguing particulars, Revan destroyed thousands of Mandalorian and Republic troops, and hundreds of Jedi, destroyed a planet, and almost inadvertently caused the death of the entire Universe. Revan would leave entire worlds undefended and left to Mandalorian nuclear attacks just to defend anther, Revan was not a nice person. Malak although brutal was still in control of himself and fully aware of what he was doing.

Now, when Malak was possessed by the Star Forge, THAT is when he lost control of his actions and became a tool for the Star Forge, THAT is the ONLY case you could make for Revan avoiding such a fall, because he purposely limited his exposer to the Star Forge.

He made smart choices? So did palpatine, big deal. He wanted the galaxy as his, that is why he would impose an Empire led by himself on a democracy. And all the references in KOTOR your speaking of, try to prove Revan was not trying to DESTROY the Republic completely, HOWEVER he was STILL CONQUERING IT.

Some are less invincible than others

Honestly, I don't think Revan was your average `POWER, UNLIMITED POWER!` Sith Lord, but more of an `the ends justify the means`. He left planets to be glassed by Mandalorians, which is bad when you consider that they butchered trillion of defenceless men, women and children; but good when one considers that it led to the eventual repulsion of the Mandalorian forces.

I see this coming from Traya, really. Traya was a `the ends justify the means` person. She had noble goals, and Revan had noble goals; but the means they used didn't always present them as being very nice people.

Traya acknowledged herself as a potential threat to all that lived. She might've had somewhat noble goals, but she was pretty dang evil about it. Revan was simply one Sith Lord looking to defend his territory and keep it strong, that's all

2 - Force Storm (lightning)

Description of Force Storm (Lightning):

Force Storm was an extremely powerful dark side Force power and represented the pinnacle of the Force's power to manipulate electrons, proving more devastating even than the lethal Force lightning. The users raised their palm upward and through the Force accelerated the movement of airborne electrons, creating an explosion of electricity that the user then directed at all foes in the vicinity. It was used by both the Sith and Jedi with dark side tendencies during the Jedi Civil War. Unlike the weaker Force lightning, Force Storm was not limited to attacking enemies in one direction, as it affected all foes within a certain radius from the user.

It was an effective "Force Drain" power regardless because Malak leached the Life of his Jedi Captives from it in a single stroke.

And without "Force Immunity", it caused massive harm! so!

Anakin has no defence against it! anyways!

Some description on "Force Drain":

Force Drain, or sometimes Drain Life, is the dark side equivalent of Force Healing, the difference being that the user drained the target's Force and life reserves to fuel the regenerative process, or to replenish their own strength in the Force. Greater aptitude allowed exceptional drainage speed and the ability to drain multiple people at once. It manifests itself as red lightning.

Darth Malak applied Force Drain upon Jedi captives to heal his wounds during his final confrontation against Revan. Darth Traya was a master of this insidious power and used it to quickly kill her enemies. Darth Nihilus took this ability to such heights that he could feed off entire worlds at a time. Exar Kun took Force Drain to another level by draining the life-force of the whole Massassi species, so that his spirit could seal on Yavin 4 for more than four thousand years.

Emperor Palpatine fed off the inhabitants of his retreat world of Byss collectively with his Dark Side Adepts, although those unfortunate souls were drained slowly, over a long period of time, rather than consuming the whole world at once.

Even Palpatine used it. So it is not a obsolete force power and indeed an effective power!

By Lucas? No, it's his company and they're organized in a hierarchy.


G-canon is "George Lucas" canon; the six Episodes and anything directly provided to Lucas Licensing by Lucas (including unpublished production notes from him or his production department that are never seen by the public). Elements originating with Lucas in the movie novelizations, reference books, and other sources are also G-canon, though anything created by the authors of those sources is C-canon. When the matter of changes between movie versions arises, the most recently released editions are deemed superior to older ones, as they correct mistakes, improve consistency between the two trilogies, and express Lucas's current vision of the Star Wars universe most closely.

C-canon is "continuity" canon, consisting of all recent works (and many older works) released under the name of Star Wars: books, comics, games, cartoons, non-theatrical films, and more. Games are a special case, as generally only the stories are C-canon, while things like stats and gameplay may not be; they also offer non-canonical options to the player, such as choosing female gender for a canonically male character. C-canon elements have been known to appear in the movies, thus making them G-canon; examples include the name "Coruscant," swoop bikes, Quinlan Vos, Aayla Secura, YT-2400 freighters, Salporin, and Action VI Transports.

S-canon is "secondary" canon; the materials are available to be used or ignored as needed by current authors. This includes mostly older works, such as much of the Marvel Star Wars comics, that predate a consistent effort to maintain continuity; it also contains certain elements of a few otherwise N-canon stories, and other things that "may not fit just right." Many formerly S-canon elements have been elevated to C-canon through their inclusion in more recent works by continuity-minded authors, while many other older works (such as The Han Solo Adventures) were accounted for in continuity from the start despite their age, and thus were always C-canon.

N-canon is "non-canon." What-if stories (such as stories published under the Infinities label) and anything else directly and irreconcilably contradicted by higher canon ends up here. N-canon is the only level that is not considered canon by Lucasfilm.

Understand now? Novelizations>: anything other than a movie. ANY day of the week

Meaning nothing


Still N-canon


What's your point?


Sure. Not as good, but good


who said that? Just that they're able to fight as long as they want so long as they use the force to keep their energy going. Like Dooku and Yoda did

No. He was out of his mind with grief and rage over Padme. It's that simple


He outclassed and slaughtered many Jedi knights AND masters, so?

Interesting battle. ROTS Sidious and Revan are going to occupy themselves, wreaking hell. Sidious has the advantage in darkside powers. Revan on the otherhand has knowledge in both sides of the force, dark and light, and his understanding in them is significant. He had knowledge of the alternate force storm incarnation ( lightning bolts originating from the sky to kill his enemies) and also loads of Sith technique that Bane feared no Sith Lord should ever use. He defeated an SF empowered Malak at least twice, and was commented as having stronger Jedi powers than Sith powers (which just speaks even more for him). In the end, I see Revan beating the ROTS incarnation of Sidious.

Malak would go after Dooku, and the battle would be a stalemate here. Malak defeated the leader of the Jedi guardians. Canderous even says to Kavar, "I thought you were dead." Dooku was a master of Makashi, and was obviously very skilled in swordplay...He stalemated a weaker Windu, but ultimately won because of his droids interference. They were both described as prodigies in the Jedi order.

Traya would fight against ROTS Vader. I cannot tell who wins, since she cannot use her instantkill. Traya's abilities in the force are immense. She tossed around three war hardened masters without so much as moving.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8lFOfJd8uE

How this translates with a single, stronger dark Jedi, I can't say.
Her position as Jedi librarian offered her a larger database to study with, and consequently a broader depth of knowledge in the force. Compounded with Malachor 5, I see her having an advantage over Ani in an all out force battle.
Either way, the battle will be close. If Vader were to engage her in a lightsaber, the outcome is partially an unkown, since we know next to nothing about Traya in the dueling department. However it is more likely he would win. In force powers, Traya would definately win.


In either case, I see Revan helping either Malak or Traya defeating their adversary. Afterwards, the trio gangs up on the last opponent.

Lightsnake
Yes, Zephiel, we know the KOTOR people always win with you

Stalemate? I hardly think so. Count Dooku is described as one of the very best that the Jedi Order ever had. Where was Malak's legendary status heralded? I don't see Malak being superior to Dooku in swordplay or in Force skills. I see him being notably inferior, and since Dooku is the ultimate master of Makashi - as well as a very powerful Force user - I see him thrashing Malak.



I agree that Traya will have the advantage in Force powers. But we saw what happened with Dooku. Dooku has been known to use the Force during lightsaber duels - and he switches often. But, when Anakin got into a frenzy, he was all over Dooku to the point that Tyranus was unable to open up for a Force attack.

Traya will have to use the Force before Anakin gets near her. I personally don't see that happening. Anakin's strength, agility, swordsmanship, and raw power likely exceeds hers by a mile and a half. I see him overwhelming Traya.



I see Dooku and Anakin helping Sidious WTFpwn Revan.

Vader had the potential to surpass Sidious in power.

Hence Sidious tells Yoda "he will become more powerful then either of us" in ROTS.

Guess what? this thing was possible even in PT era so it did not stopped at "Brotherhood of Darkness".

Wow! killing almost a 100 Jedi Knights and Masters is suddenly not impressive. Simply! Wow!

How many Sith Lords has Yoda killed? (Not even one despite his immense power)

So, Sion accomplished much more!

Some details of Darth Sion:

Sion was a uniquely powerful individual, having learned the ways of pain in the Trayus Academy on Malachor. Torturing and killing others enhanced his strength in the Force, and his ability to feed on his own pain and hatred made him immortal. A master with a lightsaber and perhaps the most infamous Sith assassin of the era, Sion is known to be responsible for the death of countless Jedi during the shadow war waged by himself and Lord Nihilus.

That was not his duty. He had some capable generals at his command to do such things and those generals failed.

Also, how can you say that Emperor did not cared about loss of first "Death Star" weapon? Note that SW-ANH movie was made in late 70's and Emperor was not even planned by Lucas during that time.]

Emperor was introduced in SW-ESB. But from both AOTC and ROTJ movies, we can conclude that Emperor was interested in operations of "Death Star" and thus he even ordered construction of a second "Death Star" after the destruction of the first one as seen in ROTJ.

So, don't assume things just by yourself.

When you make all the Sith equal, that's exactly what it does. why do you think Bane was so angry? The Order stagnated. Of Anakin ahs the potential, however, not after Mustafar


They didn't kill a hundred. Nihilus killed the ones on Katarr, which was anywhere from liike....ten to thirty, Sion's assassins killed some and the rest reformed the Order.

Several, actually. Possibly Bane, if the young Yoda book idea is pitched

How many Dark Jedi has Yoda killed?
To quote: 'Legions."

There goes that credibility...

To quote Traya: "By the end of the Jedi Civil War, barely a hundred Jedi remained.
Btw, Wiki isn't a good source. For all I know, you just wrote that in!


By many, you mean 'four.'


And Revan was personally commanding and lost personally. So?

Because things happen later to match with earlier continuity?

I think the EU has the outstanding ability to base books in different times...


Last I checked, his apprentice almost broke the Rebellion in the second movie


what was Revan gonna do after he beat the True Sith Empire? Happily surrender? No, he was going to rule as a tyrant overlord.

i don't really care. Sadow was pitiful


Which would've bought time for Revan to finish Malak...

Exactly. They were there to back up Revan and buy him time


To stop Bastila and thus BUY TIME for Revan to defeat Malak


No, revan meant to CONQUER the Republic, but keep it intact and use it to fight his rivals. That simple


He kept Malak in power after he vaporized Telos, he murdered Senators...


IN THE MOVIE: "I will have an apprentice younger and {I]More powerful


No, he was NOT. Palpatine ****ING SAYS HE'S NOT.


To quote the Ultimate Visual guide: Too late does Mace ralize his opponent's greatest weapon is Anakin Skywalker
Movie Novelization: Palpatine's shatterpoint: He trusts Anakin Skywalker.
If Palp wasn't expecting Anakin, he'd have killed Mace


Sadly, that's how it works in the debate


revan, too, apparently


That's great. Doesn't help him here

That's great


Confusing or no: Still canon


There was still the slave uprising, the Sith Defeat....


One of them.


There won't be a novelization of KOTOR. Books set in the time period, but that's it


Proof?

It hasn't. It's a game stat name that's overridden by the definition of a REAL Force Storm, which was Palpatine's.
And if fancy lightning is a Force Storm, Palpatine uses one in Empire issue 4.

Pretty much

Where exactly? It was just called 'heat and fire.'


So what? A Desert Eagle packs more punch than a beretta but they're both handguns and use bullets


Actual source, please

I agree! but one of the commanders of "Mandelore - The Ultimate" actually joined Revan to help him in his struggle against the mighty Sith Empire, simply due to immense respect for Revan.

And this is a note-worthy achievement, which was accomplished by just due to being respected.

OK! fine!

But you cannot say that Jedi Order was only wiped out by only Palpatine in its 25,000 years of history.

Because the "Great Jedi Purge" event also resulted in the destruction of the Jedi Order.

So, actually it happened TWICE.

Lightsnake
That'd be because you're a complete KOTOR fanboy and nobody can ever surpass the KOTOR team, though you've been argued into the ground on it.

Advent
@ zephiel:



I'd say the more likely choice for what Escape was basing his statements on - which would be what we've seen demonstrated from each of the two combatants, and how much more is known on what Count Dooku has done (opponents, descriptions, etc.). Of the two, Malak and Dooku, Dooku shows more signs of superiority.

Experience, while still important, is hardly something to base a decision on, especially when dealing with powerful opponents, who are considered by some to be "on par". Escape is already aware of this by his arguing that Anakin > Tyranus in lightsaber combat. So, I doubt he was implying that experience is the end all, be all solution to determining the victor.



Skeptical of what exactly? Count Dooku's superiority? Really, Malak's skill with a blade has not been shown to be on par with that of Count Dooku's, from what we know. It's the "don't know" that puts a major hinder in the argument for Malak being on equal footing with Count Dooku in terms of lightsaber combat (or being able to overcome him rather). He's better than the Jedi of Old from his respective era, alright. How good are the Jedi of Old? I've yet to see any relevant quote to Kavar's dueling power, much less the majority of the Old Republic during Revan's time.

Just to note: the "Count Superman" moniker is pretty asinine. It's definitely not appropriate, relevant, or even implied. It's like me calling anointing Malak as "The Jawless Wonder", even though that is somewhat appropriate, it's nevertheless irrelevant and seemingly demeaning.



Your point? I would have extreme doubts that Escape made his posts about Tyranus and Malak based on pure experience. Probably from deducing from what we know, as I've already relayed. Darth Malak's displays of dueling prowess have really nothing strong supporting them that I've seen.

Of course, if there's a quote, feat, or something that prove Kavar - or anyone for that matter - could match Tyranus, then I'd probably agree that Malak would rival Tyranus.



I'd like to question the meaning behind this statement. What do you mean by "in battle"? If you mean in war, then you are incorrect on the majority part, unless by some twist of fate, Darth Malak is only thirteen years old (z0mg).

His actual war experience is only limited to around seven years at most. If you recall, the Jedi didn't get involved in the Mandalorian Wars until later, and after Revan and Malak defied the Council to join - it was only like, three years until the war's end.

As for his life prior to the Mandalorian Wars, where has it been stated that he's even left the Jedi Temple? As my KotOR knowledge is limited and I only vaguely remember my play through, I don't recall him said to have done anything that isn't inclusive of a normal Jedi Knight's duty (most likely a mission here or there, etc. or maybe not).



He also got his jaw lopped off by a Jedi in a lightsaber duel, and this was after he became a Sith Lord.



Well, despite the fact that "one of the best of the era" is mainly an unknown factor your dealing with (as I have yet to see any comparisons drawn on Old Republic Jedi to anyone familiar in later eras in terms of lightsaber combat, nor any displays of real power against foe's that aren't unknown), it's what we've seen displayed, and what we know of Count Dooku's opponents.

What actually correlates into Malak being anywhere near Count Dooku's level of dueling, if I may ask? We know Count Dooku is an adept and exceptional duelist, consummate even. What of Malak? Where would his level of lightsaber skill be placed in comparison to those of the Prequel Trilogy era? If you dare say "Count Dooku", I'd like to know why. Simply because he's better than the Jedi Order of Old (and still got his jaw removed despite this) doesn't mean he's anywhere near the level of Count Dooku. The question proposed is: how good of duelists are the top dogs of the OR to the PT?

Now, in the singular sense, how strong is Kavar again (quotes, feats, anything)? Anywhere near the level of someone even like say, Sora Bulq?

As for your statements on Force skills, you'd have to take into consideration that, among other things, Malak was empowered by the Star Forge, was he not? Which from what I've gathered, is said to apparently boost your powers and/or give you new ones (or something to that effect).

Some of his powers may have a slightly less powerful feel to them without the amplification of the Star Forge aiding Malak. And while you could make the argument that he already had these powers (lightning, etc.), I've yet to see anything specify what it gives - so, we don't know. Therefore, making a conclusion that Malak is as able a Force user as we've seen demonstrated throughout KotOR wouldn't be quite correct.

Of course, if another source would state the opposite of my response regarding the Star Forge - I'd gladly concede. Things regarding KotOR are hardly my strong point of debating, as I despise the games hence I stray from many things that stem from it. I'm just basing an argument off of what I've gathered from different sources on KotOR.

As far as a lightsaber duel goes, I can see Count Dooku winning, albeit with resistance. And I'd say the same outcome would be applied to fit an all out duel.

George Lucas is a busy man and so he cannot explain the entire Star Wars Saga himself. So, he gave other people the opportunity and green-light to expand the Star Wars Saga beyond his movies and thus "Expanded Universe" was born. Though! he himself has contributed in EU but not as much.

So, whatever work of EU that is approved by him, holds credibility.

KOTOR story has been mostly defined through games but its story holds credibility due to approval by GL. And "Ranking" becomes irrelevant here because if you are taking "ranking of canon material" in to account in comparisons then it becomes illogical to even compare the characters of KOTOR era with PT era.

And I know that Darth Bane was GL's idea.

Originally posted by Lightsnake

True! but still since greater canon material is available to define the fights of ROTS then its novelization, so I will use that greater canon material as a base for arguements and not the lesser canon material.

KOTOR's case is different and ranking becomes irrelevant in its case because we don't have its higher canon material to use it as a base for arguements so what is mentioned in its games, has to be considered.

We actually don't know that Revan has been defeated by any Jedi or Sith yet. But Malak was defeated by Revan, and Revan was more powerful then Malak.

Grevious was defeated by Obi-Wan because Obi-Wan was more experienced in melee combat then Grevious and defeated him even in a Saber Duel as he easily chopped off two of his arms during early stages of the fight.

Originally posted by Lightsnake

Malak cannot be placed below Dooku because of obvious reasons that have been mentioned about him. Putting him on par with Dooku makes more sense to me.

You can say that Anakin became better duelist then him and used a Saber Form that Dooku could not effectively counter. And this does not means that Anakin was more powerful.

But you are right that Anakin was physically stronger then Dooku.

The term "Powerful" = Knowledge of the Force + Saber Skills + Experience + Physical advantages.

Now! lets analyze this:

Anakin:

1) Physical advantages over Dooku: 2 at-least

- Young Age.
- More Strength.

2) Knowledge of the Force: Less then Dooku.

3) Saber Skills: Better then Dooku. Practised "Djem", which out-smarted Makashi.

4) Experience: Less then Dooku.

Now Anakin scores 2 points.

Dooku:

1) Physical advantages over Anakin: None

2) Knowledge of the Force: Much higher then Anakin.

3) Saber Skills: Good! but less then Anakin.

4) Experience: Much Greater then Anakin.

Now Dooku also scores 2 points.

So, Anakin is not more powerful then Dooku.

And just to note, Kavat was NEVER stated to be the "best duelist" of the order. The only thing Mandalore said about him was he expected that he would lead the Jedi in the Mandolorian Wars and that he was the leader of the Guardians.

True, but he was still probably one of the elites of the order, being the leader of the jedi guardians (who were the more martial jedi, generally focusing on saber combat). He was possibly the best.

Indeed. What makes you so sure Yoda hasn't achieved as much? Unlike Revan and Palpatine, Yoda wants to keeo things peaceful and stable.


Lucas hardly cares about the EU whatsoever. It wasn't a matter of 'I can't explore everything.' it was 'Smells like MONEY!"

he doesn't approve anything personally. The only things he does approve are things pertaining to specific movie items

Dude....GL has never even seen KOTOR. He did NOT personally approve it, his company and staff did

So the ROTS novelization fits in with it

Indeed. However, it's not as if Revan took an easy victory

No, it's because Obi-wan is the best Soresu master to ever live


That's because Anakin was stronger in the force and a better duelist than Dooku. No more, no less.


Did you see me deny it?


advent's handled this many times


Dooku can easily counter a more aggressive form such as Vaapad. For the last time: It was stated Anakin was one of, if not the most powerful Jedi alive and Palpatine himself calls him stronger.

And more powerful in the Force

Knowledge is held in check by raw power.

Just.....stop. Okay? It's confirmed explicitly in the EU and the movies that anakin is more powerful


I wasn't aware a flip is a power

when Malak can take on Thon, I'll believe it.

Dessel
As would be Count Dooku if he were still a jedi, arguably.



How is this referring to the force only? It means overall.

kamikz
Count being the strongest jedi alive and growing more powerful? Very doubtful!

Lightsnake
Considering Dooku isn't stronger than the strongest Jedi...

You really think Palpatine would pick up an inferior apprentice?

Everyone cares about money and Star Wars is GL's idea and he profits from it. But he also allows other people to modify it and expand it. End of Story.

OK! so you think that whatever is being added in GL's Star Wars Saga, is actually without his knowledge?

Originally posted by Lightsnake
Dude....GL has never even seen KOTOR. He did NOT personally approve it, his company and staff did
He would at-least know its story though because it is up their in "www.starwars.com"!

And his Company and Staff did approved KOTOR and that does not gives you any hint about approval from BOSS! right? Or you are trying to say that GL is actually ignorant of what is happening to Star Wars?

Originally posted by Lightsnake
Indeed. However, it's not as if Revan took an easy victory
Here you said it yourself!

So it proves that Malak was indeed a very formidable opponent. And Revan had to struggle against him and Revan is more powerful then Anakin! right?

So! what makes you think that Anakin will not have to struggle against Malak?

No, it's because Obi-wan is the best Soresu master to ever live
How many Jedi have been known to practice Soresu? Very few actually!

You can say that Obi-Wan was more experienced and was not an idiot like Anakin was!
Originally posted by Lightsnake
That's because Anakin was stronger in the force and a better duelist than Dooku. No more, no less.
Now! Anakin had not reached his full potential in ROTS! right?

And Tyranus showed us some impressive "Force Powers"! right?

Dooku can easily counter a more aggressive form such as Vaapad. For the last time: It was stated Anakin was one of, if not the most powerful Jedi alive and Palpatine himself calls him stronger.
Palpatine called him stronger due to these reasons:

1) Anakin defeated Dooku in combat.
2) Anakin had more Force Potential then Dooku.

So, he used the term "powerful" in general sense to describe Anakin. How difficult is this to get in your head?

Originally posted by Lightsnake
And more powerful in the Force
Wrong! Dooku has shown us more "Force Powers". Anakin had greater potential and thats it.

Just.....stop. Okay? It's confirmed explicitly in the EU and the movies that anakin is more powerful
Becomes more powerful actually but not in ROTS. So, you stop actually.

Bane survived the most deadly thing ever known to any Jedi and Sith, which is "The Thought Bomb", so this means that Bane is the most powerful Sith in the entire Star Wars Saga! right?

Ever understood a word called "LUCK"?

You can't prove that Thon is more powerful then Malak and Nihilus unless you prove it so stop using his account of survival to describe his power. That had more to do with LUCK and then his actual power.

A single case actually but people still blamed that event on Malak and not Revan. It was Malak who gave order to destroy "Telos".

Fine! but it has been included in the list of Force Powers as a second form of Force Storm in EU.

except it hasn't. Show me one place besides gameplay
Star Wars does not have a list of "Force Powers", which shows that new "Force Powers" can be invented and added in EU and Sidious's "Force Storm" was also invented and added in EU. Point Moot.

Originally posted by Lightsnake
Your point?
My point is that the "Force Storm" demonstrated by Sidious (Which is C-Canon! of-course) was invented and mentioned in EU. So it is as much credible as the "Force Storm (Lightning)" power. Point Moot.

Originally posted by Lightsnake
Oh, right, and 'Force Horror' is the name of an ability....sorry, gameplay= N canon
Game-play and "Force Powers" are two different things. And all "Force Powers" mentioned in KOTOR are now C-Canon. Point Moot.

S_W_LeGenD
Lightsnake! you will get no-where with this debate because you don't use your own "common-sense" and "logic" to describe things.

Here is a brief summary of what I have learned from Lightsnake:

A)- Always rely upon "Greater Canon". And yet Lightsnake uses "Lesser Canon" material in case of debate on SW-ROTS.

B)- Malak is a Pansy. He is an idiot as well. And yet he is a formidable match for Revan (who is without doubt one of the most powerful Jedi/Sith in Star Wars Saga). But Anakin will be all over Malak because Anakin > everyone.

C)- Dooku > Malak (because Advent said do) .Where is your own knowledge and reasoning then?

D)- Anakin > Dooku because Sidious said so. And yet you forgot that Sidious is a Sith and "Lies" and "Treachery" are his ways. Even GL says this himself. And Dooku demonstrates more knowledge of the Force in ROTS as well.

E)- Anakin's Djem form is most deadly form and he can be all over on anybody using it. And yet it failed against Soresu.

F)- Thon is GODLY powerful because he survived a destruction of a planet. he can destroy anybody.

G)- Personal Bias on "Force Storm". And yet when describing "Force Storm" based powers, you forgot that both of them have been mentioned in EU and not in G-Canon movies, but you only believe in one form of "Force Storm" and others should also.

H)- Vima can defeat Nihilus and Sion.

I)- Yoda's main achievements are shrouded in mystery and only minor achievements have been mentioned in Star Wars Saga.

J)- George Lucas is ignorant and he does not knows that what new things are being added in his Star Wars Saga.

Is their anything left! Lightsnake?

My next advice: Stop this endless debate because you are contradicting yourself on various accounts and not using any Logic and Sense at all.

Do you get off on hypocrisy? There's a full difference beteen that and using supplementary material. IE: It doesn't contradict.

See Advent's argument. Malak's below the PT elites. Sorry

Why should I type up pages when a more eloquent argument is higher up on the page?

Where? He throws Obi-wan once? Why would Palpatine lie there? Why would he give up a perfecytly powerful apprentice for an inferior one?
And in case you forget, idiot, the EU confirmed anakin as more powerful

Where the **** did I say anything like that?


Who said that? I just said he has to be formidable.
You're a grade A moron

Show me where this lightning Force Storm is mentioned in EU besides N-canon game stats

Are you an idiot or something? I said she was one of the top Jedi of her age

Considering Lucas has declared most of Yoda's life off limits, yeah. The most we know of now is Yoda defeating a Dark Jedi rebellion.

Are you just stupid? Lucas himself said he doesn't keep up with the EU in most cases. And the editors of LFL review the material. Are you familiar with delegations? Want me to get the word of an author to shut you up?
Lucas doesn't keep up with things. Noone goes to him unless it involves a major change for a movie character. LFL employees and editors take care of it

You're a grade A fool

My next advice: Stop this endless debate because you are contradicting yourself on various accounts and not using any Logic and Sense at all.

Dessel
Maybe regular Malak, but SF powered Malak?

Lightsnake
SF powered Malak, I'd say. Advent's dealt with that too

Dessel
Well he has demonstrated extreme force mastery such as using the force to lift two jedi up, choking the first one while blasting the other with lightning, then throwing his saber into the first one killing him while throwing the second back using the force. These two jedi were clearly very skilled having fought through much of the Star Forge, and Malak just toyed with both of them like they were children. I'd say this feat alone puts him high up on the scales.

S_W_LeGenD
Lightsnake! calling me fool and moron will make you look bad and not me. So stop using such language because I can use bad language as well.

Now, you keep on referring to me that Advent has proved that Dooku is better then Malak. But I told you before that it is her opinion and if she has to say something about him then she can again say it again here because nobody is stopping her.

You should provide your own opinion on these kinds of debates but you have shown me that you solely rely on opinions of others which is not healthy in these kinds of debates.

I have mentioned some details on Malak here and they are true. But you have yet to counter them yourself.

And if Anakin was more powerful then Dooku then he would defeat Obi-Wan easily, which was not the case. And saying that Obi-Wan knew Anakin well is irrelevant because Anakin also knew Obi-Wan very well.


You have still to show me evidence from official Star Wars sources that Anakin is more porwerful then Dooku.


And yet you used Thon and Vima in this debate and said that they could stop Nihilus and Sion, if Exile could not.

So, you again have contradicted yourself. And proved that you are a bigger idiot.

And regarding Lucas, these were my previous words: "George Lucas is a busy man and so he cannot explain the entire Star Wars Saga himself. So, he gave other people the opportunity and green-light to expand the Star Wars Saga beyond his movies and thus "Expanded Universe" was born. Though! he himself has contributed in EU but not as much."

So, I have said the same thing about GL before that you have said now in different manner so keep your information of GL with you.

kamikz
Anakin did know Obi, but Obi knew him better. He was the one who trained him, he knew all of his weaknesses, his strenghts, and how he would act in situations.
And even if they both knew eachother well doesn't mean Anakin has to slaughter him because he normally would. They both knew what the other would do, (Anakin was blinded by rage, so I doubt he would think much about that) so logically no one should get through in a while, if they both know what the other is thinking. George Lucas has even stated that it is this way (ROTS commentary) so it's no point in arguing this.

Which's more amusing as I'm just saying what everyone else's thinking

Except she did say it before. In a rather convincing argument, too!

Is this a translation for 'whine, whine, how dare you use an argument that needs nothing added to it?'

Your entire argument boils down to: "But he's strong!" Yep. Noone'd contest that

Learn about fighting, then come back. Obi-wan knew anakin's style, moves and abilities.
See? Two people who know one another very well fighting will take a very long time


Besides the movie, the New Essential Chronology, the Novelization, the Visual Guides, the Complete Guide....nope, nothing says it


I referred to them as top Jedi of the age. Period

Well! you have a poor mentality level and thats why you resort to insults.

And I used word "warning" to alert you that I am from now on, not going to tolerate any bad language or such words from you. And I will resort to insult you aggressively, if necessary.

Why? It would take a few seconds for them to engage in saber combat, Dooku would be able to pull off a force attack in a second if he chose to, not that I think Anakin would necessarily be beaten by Dooku through the force, just saying.

Count Dooku will have to attack him before they engage in a saber duel. Do you not recall RotS? Anakin was battering through his defenses - if he could have pulled off a Force attack - he would have. But he didn't.
