Rex exhibits more of a ARC trooper personality in terms of free thinking. Cody represents the pinnacle of what "average" clone troopers are meant to be. And in the last season of the clone wars, the playbook the Republic were using was drawn up by Rex and Echo. Rex's outside the box thinking is more valuable than someone who can regurgitate the manual at you. Plus Rex looks cooler lol

[@SIGMA-52]

Commander Cody represents the Pinnacle of the average clone did you go rewatch Clone Wars the only way you think this is because you probably only remember the missions Rex goes on Rex goes on small reconnaissance missions Rex doesn't get into scrappy one on ones all out Wars rex and his squad get what they need and get out was cody takes on more of a clone commando role in a larger army he's the top of Arc Trooper graduates when it comes to arc Trooper training he's got reconnaissance down to a art form he can do surveillance he hand to hand you can do survival he can do full frontal assault he can do everything another reason you feel that Rex has an arc Trooper personality is one because he's always around three other arc Troopers throughout the whole series because there are three arc Troopers in his squad and that he had his inhibitor chip removed that's why he's so free thinking and if he was so free thinking and upstanding as a clone he would have helped the rest of them and when it comes to design I respect your opinion but cody shits on rex all day every day

[@thegreatsnowblizzard3196]

I think it can be argued that Cody was the better tatician considering his ability to maintain point rain when all the other Jedi general were either unable to fight or seperated from the group.

[@yasumedia9528]

Logical and well explained as usual friend. Great work! Cody was my favorite clone until The Clone Wars dropped. Rex is my favorite to date, but oddly enough, I can't pick one over the other.

[@renegaderonin1247]

Cody V Rex animation when?

[@ColdHighway7]

Severance Tann vs Ventress

[@user-oc7og1nc1i]

I think Rex would win in a fight against Cody because of Rex's out of the box thinking in a battle while Cody sticks to his standard clone programming in dealing with a situation so Rex would have the advantage of being able to win over Cody in a fight. Plus, in Episode 1 of the final season, while Cody did hear Rex out about Echo possibly being alive, he didn't actually consider the fact that it may be true even though Rex pointed out how the strategies the Separatists were using against to counter them in the battle of Anaxes were strategies him and Echo made and just told Rex that he was just having misplaced hope. This shows to me at least, that Cody wouldn't be able to win in a fight where both him and Rex have the opportunity to gain an advantage over one another by thinking outside the box because Cody wouldn't even consider an option such as that being possible even with proof that it actually can be accomplished being presented right in front of him. Great video and hope you're doing well with Theory Sabers & Vader Episode 2; would love to win a saber if given the chance in the next giveaway. Hope you enjoy my audition as well, May the Force Be with You, Always.

[@Awesomeness42102]

Cody is a commander who knows battle plans and tactics better then actual combat, Rex is a captain who faught on the front lines of every battle he participated in and survived from the very beginning of the war to the very end all on the front lines of danger, i love both but its pretty clearly Rex who wins

[@oscarrosales6862]

Finally more videos like this

[@Halomasterchief16]

I would guess Rex wins just based on Clone Wars and Rebels giving Rex a lot more development/feats to pull from. Cody was much more of a side character (despite being featured in the films and Clone Wars) than Rex (just featured in the Filoni projects, but as much more of a major character). Though I do wonder how jetpack play and standard weapons/equipment might factor into it

I'd have to say Rex. Cody seems a bit orthodox, while Rex is used to Anakin, and making dare i say perhaps playing a bit dirty

[@georgehouliaras7239]

Cody. The only thing I like about Rex is that he is 501st. Besides that, he is a goody two shoes version of Jango. In fact, I think he was a better character in the early seasons of Clone Wars than the latter. He went downhill in the later seasons and everything after.

[@BALAOFMANDALORE]

Rex has far more character and we've seen far more of him, his tactics could throw Cody off with how unorthodox they are adopted from anakin. but I feel Cody is the better fighter and overall would win this fight, rex could hesitate but Cody wouldn't though he'd regret it later.

Rex, When you follow Anakin through out a war you would have way better and more diverse tickets. Also he would have been in way more battles because they used Anakin as a battering ram. He also took on a Jedi and won.

This was a great vid.. thank you . Please do more. I'm a huge Rex fan but after you explained this so well, I definitely agree. How about pre sarlacc pit boba vs wiser boba fett

[@richreyes1214]

I keep bringing this up Clone Wars S1 E16 The Hidden Enemy. Slick almost single handedly kicked Cody's and Rex's butts. However between the two Cody held his own better in hand to hand combat while Rex got his leg broken when Slick put him in a leg lock. I disagree with the video H2H combat would have to go to Cody. It was also Cody who figured out Slick would be hiding in the vents, so we know Cody can also think on his feet. I agree that in a firefight Rex is better just because serving with Anakin he always finds himself in the middle of them and having to fight his way out. Rex is also better at improvising and getting creative again because he's developed this skill serving alongside Anakin, and that makes him very dangerous. BUT as the saying goes if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. If Rex goes in just hoping to wing it against Cody he will lose. He needs to come up with a plan, unfortunately for him Cody is the better tactician. In summary Rex's strengths in firefights and improvisation make him a dangerous opponent, however Cody is the master tactician he will take into account all of Rex's strengths and come up with plans and back up plans to defeat Rex. A smart soldier is a deadly soldier. Plus when all the chips are down Cody is the better H2H combatant. Just my opinion guys but I think the logic behind it is sound.

[@Gor85]

Rex is more individual. Free thinker,has more tactical advantage. And Rex fought alongside Anakin. Have fantastic day too. May the Force be with you always too

[@danielloader3351]

I think the free thinker is more to do with the fact that rex is just more of a main character in TCW in general so we just get more of him as a character. As for tactics, Cody is definitely ahead on that. He's a marshall commander and would have led more larger battles whereas rex worked well in more infiltration and individual skill type missions. Cody feels like a commando whereas Rex is like an ARC trooper

[@nickykasan]

Great vid

[@__j20]

Cody was much higher on a mental level. Higher ranked (grand Marshall ranking). Regarded as the best tactician in the republic, and helped them win many important battles with his unparalleled tactical abilities, even in dire situations with all the odds against him. I think he was better in combat, shown in a number of ways but one is where they were both fighting the traitor slick. Rex was struggling, Cody was not. Rex had a “street smart” sort of advantage. One example of that is when he quickly realized the droids were impersonating clones when he and Cody were sent to inspect a moon outpost. He saw the droid attack flare, immediately turned around and shot the droid. Cody didn’t pick up on it until rex told him to relax and then pulled off the clone helmet, revealing it was a droid. But, Cody was superior overall.

[@Wyr_111]

I agree with this. I love Rex but I think a lot of people let there bias opinion effect there judgment. I'm team Cody all the way

i think it woulda been cool to discuss them in two separate arenas kinda like the hunger games. One of them is actually just a 1v1 gladiator battle (with cover of course) with all of their normal gear. The other would be if they had a squad of like 12v12 or 50v50 and they had to go through like a battlefront style domination fight for a location. no respawns obvi lol

[@kyletavizon7045]

From what ive seen which is all the movies and animation shows in the skywalker era, they pretty much show imo rex has being the ultimate experienced fighter while cody has all the IQ and battlefield technique advantage, you give cody time to plan against rex, he wins. If its an instant fight combat scenario, rex all day

[@thebrowneyesofmandalore6524]

[@wildbard4112]

Cody in my opinion. He's the highest rank for a reason. Also the man straight up likes to fist fight droids. He's able overpower commando droids in hand to hand combat.

[@lock8030]

I love Commander Cody but I believe Rex would be the victor in a one-on-one fight. Remember that Cody is a Marshal Commander, meaning he is one of the highest ranking clone officers in the Clone Army. We often see Cody staying back and giving orders rather than directly fighting because he mostly a tactician. There's a reason Rex states in CW7 that he didn't like being a commander, as being a commander limits the amount of time spent fighting on the frontlines of a battlefield which he preferred and was moreso able to do as a Captain. I think Rex's inclination of being a frontline fighter would help him prevail in this fight.

[@SIGMA-52]

What do you mean Rex stays back more than cody cody goes to almost every single large scale invasion or special forces tactical operation there is throughout the Clone Wars where racks only does small reconnaissance missions and sometimes gets into a medium sized gun fight he's never been in a full-scale invasion or attack cody became a commander because he was that good Rex isn't a commander cody he doesn't have that level of tactical innovation and combat experience cody does that's not shiting on Rex though he's one of the best of the best but he is light years behind cody when it comes to a Frontline fighter

[@finn8567]

[@ralathasnir4987]

I feel like Rex would win most likely, but I think it'd be a pretty even fight for a bit. Neither of them are slackers and have both seen their fair share of battles. They wouldn't be aiming to kill, so incapacitate or surrender would be the game for them. So I'd have to say probably Rex would win. He grew to think pretty out of the box while serving under Anakin. He would probably find a way to beat Cody given enough time. Cody was more of a peak soldier and standard clone type. While he fights very well and can adapt quickly like most commanders, I don't think he would outmaneuver Rex when it comes down to it. I think it would be pretty close though.

[@spicy5766]

[@JohnC-hj3dr]

Hmm good question Rex versus Cody it will come down to the wire!! But yes edges this one out! For one simple reason Anakin is a very completely unorthodox general and has an unorthodox fighting style and tactics! Kenobi was always by the book and his tactics and Cody are proof of that! Which means rex wins this by using unorthodox fighting styles and tactics and rex will use that to his advantage and exploit even the smallest weakness!
