Pay attention to what I say not what your brain thinks I said. Mobility wise he's slow I never said he's slow with a light saber. He is slower mobility wise. Luke demonstrated how slow he was in Rotj. That's the same Vader. When he has to move around and change his position that's when he's at his worst.

just seems like you're in versus mode. separating hand speed (bionic) with leg speed (also bionic) and using circumstantial evidence (vader walking slow in OT) as overall proof that he was slow footed and hobbled.

15 seconds or so in we see Luke kick the unsuspecting Vader who takes over five seconds to rise to his feet. Around 1:20 we see Luke easily create space between he and the slower moving Vader. Vader is quick with a light saber but his legs and oversized body lost a lot of mobility when he was suit ridden. That's stating the obvious.

@quan. But you should play heroes mode in battlefront. Vader is so much better to play than Luke. Vader is slower but he has force choke and lightsabers throws. Luke is faster but his force push is slow (like he has to focus or something). Force choke is instantaneous.
Anyway, knowledge of the force is better than raw speed. Unless your even with knowledge, than you need the lightsaber (eg dooku vs yoda)
I don't think it was ever a case of Vader not being capable of moving fast. Was more to do with the fact that he's so powerful and so far beyond the opponents he usually faces, that he simply doesn't need to move fast the majority of he time.
But like I said if he Needs to move faster he will, as he displayed against Ahsoka in Rebels.

We have seen Luke move faster and it makes sense since his movement isn't hindered by a suit. In the game from what I've heard Vader is slower and more powerful. I didn't say a thing about ehat is better I merely commented on his lack of mobility.

speed is very important, when you're running away from vader.
oh wait...it's not. he can just kick back in his meditation chamber and remote-choke his enemies if he's feeling lazy.

Vader is very good at choking out non warrior types or his wife the same woman he went to the dark side for. It's convenient to use powers when a guy can't fight back since he isn't in the same room and isn't expecting an attack to begin with.

a fair point. i've never seen him even try to choke a force adept. however this also doesn't prove your assertion that it can't happen.
