Tearing apart a giant space station is no joke.

Shan, lmao.

Jmanghan
Shan hasn't done anything on the level of Kota, honestly.

She's an equal to Marr who was above Nox after her defeat of Thanaton.

Ant has it.

"After my defeat, I sought an ally to make things right again. But only one in all the galaxy was my equal. We met on this world. We argued, explored... and found an understanding."
―Darth Marr (Star Wars: The Old Republic)

Don't see why it would mean combative equal.

Kota dies.

"With his humanity long forgotten and his face unseen, Marr's inner thoughts are impossible to determine. But his desire to leave a strong Empire behind him is unquestioned, and his abilities are second to none."

--Darth Marr Codex Entry

cs_zoltan
That's true, but Shan is not his combative equal thumb up

Beniboybling
That was more in relation to Marr > Nox. Though hardly convinced it's the case.

cs_zoltan
Why not?

Lmao. There really is fanart.

Beniboybling
There always is. smile

UCanShootMyNova
I think there's actually an Internet rule addressing that. Although that might be for porn.

Beniboybling
It's called rule 34 Syn, and I'm sure you know all about it.

Nox has better feats and "abilities" is rather vague.

cs_zoltan
So then Wredd > Krayt? It's called powerscaling erm

And Marr utter stomping the living shit out of Lachris, who was a mid game 'Thor boss (and as per the story she needed to take Zenith with her, iirc), is a good enough start for the accolde to hold water.

Beniboybling
Lol, because that's what I said.

Meh, his domination of Thanaton strikes me as more impressive.

Laugh all you want, it is what you implied.

Is Anoon not one of the best duelists pre-TPM only because he doesn't have feats?

Is Tenebrous' master not one of the most powerful shit ever only because he doesn't have feats?

If you dismiss every accolade when they are not backed by feats then all of them are useless and we revert back to feats only approach (and that's some Syn level retardation btw).

Nox had to beat Thanaton down first to dominate him. It was you who most vehemently argued the same once, I recall.

I meant in a general sense, Nox sent Thanaton packing on Corellia despite the latter having Darth Kallous and two cyborg Sith to back him up, and according to the SWTORE "utterly destroys" him on Kaas. He may have had to beat him down to straight up ragdoll him as he did, but it's evident Nox massively outclassed him regardless. I'm not seeing any evidence that Marr can claim the same.

What's vague about it? Do you think they are refering to his cooking abilities?

This is years before Thanaton was elected to be a Dark Council member, though, IIRC.

That's quite arbitrary. What do you base it on besides your lack of desire to put him above Act III Nox and Wrath?

Originally posted by Beniboybling

Marr oneshotting Thanaton.

Beniboybling

And I base it on the fact that nobody was a match for him in that category, whereas his ability to overpower Nox in a fight is unproven, or Malgus, or the Dread Masters, or the Emperor for that matter.Sorry, all I see is him threatening a kid.

Yes power, the most important thing in a sith empire.

Malgus is dead, the DMs turned on the Empire and the Emperor is presumed dead. Good try tho.

Which is Thanaton...

Beniboybling
Originally posted by cs_zoltan

Nephthys
Unfortunately, Beni is right. Marr is not as strong as the Wrath or Nox.

You object?

Originally posted by Beniboybling

I'm not adding anything to it. The accolde comes from the time of RotHC when all the people you mentioned were not part of the Empire. So your attempt to dismiss the accolde based on arbitrarily adding people to it is a failure.

Originally posted by Beniboybling

That he can oneshot him 30 years ago, are you this dense? Besides Marr's also the most powerful, and longest serving member of the Dark Council, so frankly nobody cares about your opinion that you can't see him beating Thanaton.

Beniboybling
Originally posted by cs_zoltan
You object?Considering it was Marr's strategic and leadership abilities that led to the Empire's successes, not his sparkle hands, yes.My point is that you're eschewing a general reading by putting it into contexts, the contexts of Marr's desire to strengthen the Empire (which he did by providing strong leadership) only lending itself to my point.No but you certainly appear to be, given you've failed to prove why it's relevant now or that Marr was actually capable of one shotting him at all. That said you've also clearly got the wrong end of the stick, as I never claimed Marr could not beat Thanaton.

Considering the Codex entry doesn't once mentioned his leadership skills, but it mentioned his fighting skills I find that hard to believe.

Nox only stomped an already defeated Thanaton, if Marr can defeat him, then he can stomp him afterwards.

Beniboybling
Originally posted by cs_zoltan
Which he did as a frontline warrior, as repeatedly noted ermIn the past, where he was outclassed by people like Malgus. Within the contexts the entry is made he's sitting on his ass while people like Nox and the Wrath do the heavy lifting, something the entry itself notes.It states his intentions to leave behind a strong Empire, from which you appear to have inferred means him being second to none refers to loyal Imperials alone, yet not what he was actually doing to strengthen the Empire at the time?He did more than that, as I've already explained he demonstrated gross superiority over him, you haven't proven Marr could do the same.

cs_zoltan
First of all, use ****ing line breaks in your posts. It's a pain to quote it you phag.

Originally posted by Beniboybling

On what ground is Malgus outclassing him? And what does Malgus has to do with this, we are talking about Nox (and the Wrath).

What of it. So was Yoda, and Sidious, and Ben and the list goes on.

Originally posted by Beniboybling

And who says they are in the same context? The codex were listing things about Marr. His dedication to the Empire, and that his abilities were second to none. Beside being in the same sentence they have nothing to do with each other, it's called a list.

For the second time. What the codex actually talks about: His battlefield prowess, what it doesn't talk about: his leadership skills. And leadership is hardly the only way to leave a stronger empire behind.

Also how ****ing awkward is to phrase his leadership skills that way...You are just reading into the quote.

Originally posted by Beniboybling

I have, you just didn't care. Act II 'thor being in the oneshot range for Marr certainly proves that to me.
