This isn't who could beat him, but who could move fast enough / strike hard enough in a similar situation to his fight vs Grievous.

TheNuisanceBird
Clone Wars:

Yoda, Sidious.

Possibly Mace.

On a good day possibly Anakin.

TenebrousWay
Sidious, Yoda, Dooku, Mace and late TCW/RotS Anakin in canon.

Dooku may tire out before he can work around Kenobi's guard.

Nah. Dooku is capable to work around Kenobi, yeah.

chingchangwalla
Dooku, Yoda, Mace, Sidious

Kurk
Dooku (bc makashi is about breaking defenses by definition), knightfall/zonakin, superamped mace, yoda/sheev, plagueis maybe, grandmaster luke, etc

NewGuy01
Dooku could probably manage it, but not by powering through like Grievous.

Why would mace do better vs kenobi's defenses than anakin?

Rockydonovang
luke/yoda/sidious obviously, Anakin as of rots Caedus, possibly Plagueis. What has mace done to suggest he can break kenobi's guard purely by virtue of strength or speed?

Azronger
Sidious, Yoda, Dooku, Anakin, Luke, Plagueis, Tenebrous, Venamis

MythLord
Luke, Sidious, Yoda, Dooku, Anakin, Grievous, Windu, Jacen, Krayt, Taalon.

Maul. smile

Ursumeles
Kek.

Kas'im, Bane.

Nephthys
Arcann, Outlander, Bane should be able to.

Ursumeles
Tenebrous smile

Nephthys
Vos, kek.

maybe peak Maul; like when how he was performing against Sheev.

Deronn_solo
I'd throw a peak Malgus into the mix, too.

Ursumeles
Naaaahhh.
Possibly Cade tho.

Deronn_solo
Yeah.

By Deceived, Malgus had some insane strength/speed showings and his physical capabilities only increased by a pretty good margin by the end of the book and should have only gotten better as time passed.

NewGuy01
Insane speed showings? no expression

Neither Cade nor Malgus could be cabdidates imo.

Deronn_solo
By extinsion, yes.

Leneer exhibited top-notch speed when she "moved faster than any machine" and perceiving time within a nanosecond. Malgus seemed perfectly within her range speed, tbh.

Petrus
Peak Malgus, Dooku, Yoda, Sidious, Anakin, Maul, Mace, Kun, maybe peak Ulic, Luke, 'Lander, Plagueis, Tenebrous, prime Revan.

The point was that the thought of a top 10 Sith of all time having the possibility of breaking through Kenobi's defenses shouldn't be outrageous, even if you don't agree. smile

Wouldn't you agree that Maul and Kenobi are roughly on the same level, saberwise...?



Seriously?



Disagreed, but fair enough.



Fair enough, tho it's not good enough to say kys.



Prime Revan shits on Kenobi all-out. Based on his sheer superiority in the Force and his power, he'd be able to break through Kenobi's defenses.





Why?

cs_zoltan
As I see the OP asks who can brute force their way past Kenobi's defense. Those that I listed are not better enough for that, or straight up not better at all than Kenobi so they can't do that.

Ursumeles
Kys @guys that mentioned Malgus but not Vader.

Nephthys
I'm not sure if Vader could tbh. Obi-Wan may just be too big of a psychological hurdle for him.

In this interpretation of the thread I can more easily see why you'd think some characters in my list would lose.

However, Dooku, Kun and Mace are undoubtedly above him in the sabers department, and Maul is roughly his equal. So, at least those 4 would be able to do what the OP asks.

Kenobi never manages to defeat Dooku, whereas Dooku has defeat him more than once, lmao.

And Maul is roughly on par with Kenobi. So how exactly did they fail?

cs_zoltan
Dooku failed to break RotS Kenobi's defense, fact. Maul failed to break even TCW Kenobi's defense without Dun Moch, fact. Get your head out of your ass phag.

Nephthys
Dooku fought Kenobi for a total of 10 seconds in RotS, before he easily defeated him while knocking Anakin on his ass.

Well, he was attacking, but Dooku broke off his attack with his lightsaber, not the Force. I assume that anyone who's good enough to win a lightsaber duel against him is good enough to break his defenses.

Are you asking which duelist beats Kenobi if he's entirely on the defensive and never/almost never attempts to attack? That's not even plausible or realistic in a SW duel. At least not if the opponent isn't stupid or GG, seeing GG's unorthodox fighting style.

I'd maybe give you Kun, but Mace and Dooku? Nah.

Given mace and Dooku are on par, what makes y'all think the former can break through Kenobi ?

Rockydonovang
WTF is malgus being mentioned here. Malgus has nothing putting him above kenobi speed wise(or putting him on par for that matter) and strength wise even a physically stronger anh vader couldn't break the guard of a physically out of shape ben kenobi.

What has mace done suggesting he's anywhere close to srong enough or fast enough to break kenobi's guard purely through strength or speed? Heck, whether he's stronger at all is debatable in itself.

Also maul? Given that he and his brother simulatneously couldn't do it, that maul couldn't do it individually despite kenobi being physically wrecked beforehand, why would maul suddenly be able to overwhelm via strength or speed a superior rots kenobi.

Not saying he can although I guess I implied it.

I remember there being a quote that Vaapad could break the defenses of a Soresu master although it was vague.

To be fair ANH Vader was being extremely cautious.

The Malgus mention reminds me of when Antoine's collaboration with Jensaaurai was ruined by the Malgus bias.

Idk.

Maul and Savage were arguably hindered by the narrow hallway and Kenobi had a second blade. But yeah I don't see SOD Maul powering through ROTS Kenobi in sabers.

First off none of what you've shown is remotely close to what grevious did.

Second off, way to take things out of context. Maul landing multiple kicks on kenobi was an isolated moment in a fight kenobi was winning despite having been kod twice and tortured extensively beforehand. Despite kenobi being an absolute wreck, when enraged, right before that second gif you posted, kenobi was able to steadily drive maul back with his speed/strength what the op is discussing.
You can say maul was rusty here(not that should have anything to do with his ability to move faster than kenobi can react or hit stronger than kenobi can withstand.), but on florrum he was on the losing end of their saber bout in spite of his brother's help and kenobi using a secondary form.

While suggesting either could do what grevious did to each other did is asinine, the case for kenobi being able to do it looking at how he fared as a duelist vs maul in tcw is much better

Second off, yes kenobi was outmatched, after in addition to getting physically wrecked and mentally thrown off beforehand, maul using dun moch on a kenobi who already had no buisness fighting. Prior to that he was losing

Not really. Their first fight was inconclusive with grevious landing a kick on maul. The second fight was interrupted, an interruption maul took advantage off to bfr grevious with a force blast while he was distracted. There was never an indication of a clear superior. IMO they're equals in a fight with grevious being more skilled and physically superior, but maul having use of the force. Regardless if we're using kenobi as the point of comparison, grevious's performances(purely in a dueling sense, not counting force use) vs tcw kenobi have been significantly better than maul's(maul on the losing end, grievous on the winning end) and while grevious has fought kenobi with the unfavorable context of a style disadvantage(if we go by legends), maul has fought kenobi in generally favorable circumstances. Furhermore grevious has beaten season 7 kenobi, someone who would be superior, if marginally as a duelist to season4/5 grevious. More relevant to the discussion here, physically grevious outclasses maul which yet again can be backedup by comparing their performances to kenobi and is faster.
Off course in an overall fight, maul's use fo the force copensate for this but as per whats being discussed here, maul cannot hope to replicate grevious's overloading of rots kenobi's defenses

While Maul obviously isn't overloading ROTS Kenobi's defenses I still don't understand Kenobi's style advantage. Grievous is trained in all lightsaber Forms. Plus Soresu doesn't have an advantage to any Form. It's advantage depends on the other combatant and the user of the Form.

The advantage iirc is because soresu's simplicity gives nothing for grevious's computers to adapt to, regardless per windu, kenobi's use of soresu s a better matchup for grveious than his own use of vapaad despite windu being more skilled and per mace made him the best matchup for grevious even though there were three superior duelists in the order at the time, each of whom mastered different forms

Regardless its not really needed to argue for grevious vs maul dueling wise as grevious as a duelist stalemated/beat tcw kenobi each time by virue of the blade, neither of which maul has replicated despite having context favoring him in both duels(though there was context against him in the first of their bouts) and fighting inferior versions of kenobi

Really?

Satele Shan is officially stated to be unbelievably fast but Darth Malgus had no trouble keeping-up with her moves.

Look at this:

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11114/111140132/4433903-6694146671-43846.gif

You see that Lightsaber in slow motion? This is the level of speed Satele Shan could achieve on average. Not surprisingly, she blitzed any foe in her path with the exception of Darth Malgus. Watch the entire video and you will see how fast those Sith Warriors could swing a Lightsaber.

Ayn Leener has one of the greatest speed feats in the mythos but Darth Malgus was able to keep-up with her moves during the duel. Check the "speed" section in this blog: http://comicvine.gamespot.com/profile/s_w_legend/blog/aryn-leener-respect-thread/102062/

You seem ill-informed about TOR related stuff.

Darth Vader was psychological hindered (even Palpatine noticed this).

Darth Malgus would not have such psychological hindrances. His technique is also noted to be flawless.

Leneer perceiving time within nanoseconds and reaction faster than any machine could, is just as good, if not flat out better, than anything Kenobi has in the speed department.

Beniboybling
Quite, leaving Dooku baffled by his speed is not miles ahead of that at all. laughing out loud

Zenwolf
Wasn't that scene pretty much from Jace's POV? Because the whole thing was in slow motion even before Satele arrived, it could just be there to be all cool looking. That scene has got to be one of the dumbest things ever though, who drags a guy in the middle of a battle to give him an elaborate death?? Like just kill him already, there's no need to drag it out.

It's obviously not from Jace's POV since it's from behind him. Nevertheless, that's just cinematic editing for dramatic effect. By the time Satele is moving, it goes back to normal speed.

Not to mention that later on, there's more slow-mo scenes and Satele is also moving in slow motion in those scenes. She's not exempt from that at all. It's just editing for dramatic effect.

Eh fair enough then, I figured.

The speed of thought is probably not even faster than sound depending on your scale - it's nowhere near nanosecond reaction time, lmao. Near relativistic reflexes isn't as good as seeing nanoseconds as other basically see seconds either.

Plus, depending on how literal we take the reacting faster any machine could - we're looking at a feat that supersedes even nanoseconds, and can only be surpassed through scaling.

Uhuh, the point is that authors throw out all kinds of ultra-fast quantifiers for even the lowliest of fodder. Fisto was able to obliterate said magnaguards without them so much as them connecting with his blade, Ezra Bridger hadn't even undergone training when he pulled off that feat. And given the authors are just pulling this shit out of their asses it ceases to have any real value.

Speed feats relative to an actual opponent are far more credible, in which respect Leneer doesn't compare.

Of course, there's also something to be said for that, as the Jedi Path states similar.

So...hyperspace is BS then?

Although I could say, if you're talking smaller scale, there is one showing that could be considered fair as being lightspeed.

Deronn_solo
I mean, it's not totally impossible that MagnaGuards are sporting near relativistic reflexes, though given Stover's flare for over-the-top hyperbolic , and at times, melodramatic writing, I wouldn't directly take it at face value.

Even then, it's a good feat for Fisto's and puts him in the range of Obi-Wan's and and Maul's of the world in that department. Much Like Leneer's feat does for her.



Babe, babe, baaaabe.

Stop being so dense about this. smile

As I said before, the speed of thought isn't that fast at all , and is waaaay below the speed feats shown by the Obi-Wan/Maul's class.



If it was just some throw away "she moved faster than a nanosecond" such and such statement, this viewpoint will have more merit, but it wasn't. She actively does things that a person within the nanoseconds range would be doing,

- Actively viewing the world as if it was in slow-motion, to where a simple sentence seemed like a "life time"

- Reacting faster than the computers on board the freighter she was aboard.

- Seeing sub-lights ships, approaching light speed and about to head into hyperspace, as if they stopped and stretched.

Even if the term nanoseconds wasn't used in this particular instance, I would still argue it's a legit nanosecond feat - the confirmation is just icing on the cake.

The feat is legit, arguing it's not because of a few others instances in the mythos is, how does Az love it put it, an argument from incredulity.




Says the person who wanks Plagueis' subjective, and ignorantly vaunted, "lightning" fast showings, lmao. Stop being a hypocrite. In those case, I don't need to. The speed Leneer showed when interacting with the real world is proof enough.

MythLord
So you don't take army busting for Mace Windu seriously, but you take nanosecond reaction timing for Aryn Leneer seriously? lmao

Deronn_solo
If that's all you can come up with, you might as well leave the arguing to Beni.

MythLord
I'm not really a part of this debate, honey, nor do I intend to be. I'm just noting your double standards. smile

Deronn_solo
Then don't chime it with retarded comments. There is nothing really double-standard about anything I said.

Beniboybling
So it wasn't actually a combat feat? Why did you even bring it up. erm

Deronn_solo
I mean, she was meanuvering around and performing different task requiring physical movement.

It was to show the level of speed she could obtain, tbh.

Beniboybling
Didn't look like she was doing much, and I assumed you were referring to what she could pull off in a combat situation.

Much Like Leneer's feat does for her.Many authors are, we can either take them all at face value, or none, either way in we reach similar conclusions, a vague notion that these guys are super special quick.

Taken literally though, if Magnaguards can react at near-light speeds then Fisto can do far better, perceiving and reacting to lightspeeds and/or machine like speeds shouldn't be a challenge for him any more than it was for Aryn. Whereas someone like Dooku should have far better reactions, an yet the velocity of Kenobi's movements left him temporarily baffled. When you consider that Leneer could only achieve that level of perception in a trance like state, she's left behind in the dust tbh. sad

We're not talking about Maul and Kenobi, we're talking about shitty fighters like Leneer, who can what, react faster than a machine? Yeah actually moving faster than thought isn't really far off.

Fair, shame she seemingly couldn't maintain it for long, and never achieved anything similar in combat. sad

Sorry what? Never ignorantly vaunted anything dear. In fact I am consistently right and correct. In this case I didn't criticise you for using the feat, simply giving it far more weight that it deserves. Especially when she's done nothing remotely Kenobi level in actual combat.

That's... not what an argument from incredulity is. An argument from incredulity is when a person refuses to accept/deny something simply because they find it hard to believe.

What we're dealing with here is the fallacy of division, meaning that a person argues that because something is true of the whole, it must be true for parts of the whole as well. For example:

'Speed feats with flowery and fancy descriptions are usually hyperbole.'

'Aryn Leneer reacting in nanoseconds is a speed feat that is described fancily.'

'Therefore, Aryn Leneer reacting in nanoseconds is hyperbole and invalid!'
