[@captainkiwi77]

Now hold on here, like the mechanic lady said, he’s smarter than he looks. We’ve seen him plan ahead for betrayals or take split second action that actually leads to complex plans. He doesn’t just rush the prison droids, he lets them think they have him pinned and outflanks them. He doesn’t just rush in against the other bounty hunters on that prison job, he straight up hunts them like predator, in the dark and/or from the rafters. He uses the flash grenade as a diversion to be able to flank enemies not once but twice. He uses his own ships coolant system to make a cloud so he could get his shots on greef karga. Like he might rush in often but he’s definitely not JUST a bullrusher

[@Omniseed]

He's like a smart guy that is just constantly on 11, beset by situations a bit more urgent than he would like, causing him to appear reactionary and sloppy when he is a bit but mostly he's just showing the signs of yet another hours-long adrenaline dump

[@boneybaron2508]

@@jonsnow947 Also those were stormtroopers XD he probably wasn't to worried about such shitty fighters

[@magiv4205]

Absolutely agree. His creative problem solving is actually one of my favorite things about all the fight scenes. He knows how to use all of his gadgets to their full effect aswell as make split second decisions about his environment. I particularily love how he uses his grappling hook in that regard. Because of all that, no fight is repetitive and I really appreciate that.

[@tylerbradfield9981]

What sets Din apart from mandos like Bo Katan is that he is a Hunter rather than a Warrior Edit: after much more consideration, I'd amend this to say Din Djarin is more like a warrior of old and Bo Katan is like a soldier. Soldiers have roots in warrior culture but an actual tribal warrior typically does not fight in the same places against the same foes as a soldier. Not to mention the dynamic of individual vs team.

[@Dakarai_Knight]

Exactly my thoughts. Different skillset but still a great fighter.

[@blackc1479]

I dont know, i get the idea, but i havent seen much evidence of an actual divergence. (Im a legends person, so if there was something in the new canon, my apologies) Personally, i dont ascribe much to it either way. Maybe his sect spent more time on the zealot side of training. Maybe they didnt have any cul'yvdar [sp] members. But most of all, maybe hes just average or a bit above (for a mando, thats maybe equal to what? Army ranger? Bad ass, but maybe not seal team six. And before anyone comments, i know they have different specialities and roles, but training time can be a good yardstick)

[@tylerbradfield9981]

@@blackc1479 I see this as Din is a bounty hunter. Him getting the job done means finding his target and the opportunity to take that target "warm or cold" by himself. We see him shine by changing the odds, using the gattling gun in chapter 1, the flares in chapter 5, the security system in chapter 6, and more. The odds are usually against him, so his skill set is less combative than the mandalorians in chapter 11 we see. We see them silently communicate before emerging from cover and efficiently dispatch threats extremely quickly. This goes for a message in the episode of mandalorians are stronger together, and these mandos are clearly trained and experienced warriors that have fought with each other through many battles. Din seems like he's just there for the ride by comparison, but in the end they are cut off from the bridge by the stormtroopers and Din is in his element: the odds are now stacked against him. He charges with his beskar and clears the doorway with his bombs, claiming victory. The difference is that the mandos aside from Din Djarin stack the odds in their own favor before engaging the enemy, by being the better warrior along with their comrades. Din, as a lone hunter, has the skills to change the balance in his favor on the fly as is common if you're hunting a high value target that may have you outgunned, outmanned, and just plain outmatched. The other mandos likely have faced more traditional combat experience by comparison.

[@survivor686]

I think the one thing that is appealing about the Mandalorian is that despite his training, instincts and equipment, he is still fundamentally human. Sure he was trained by one of the most militant-mandalorian-clans, but in every single fight its made clear that he does take hits, he does make mistakes. He is not the effortless fighter of some of the series most egregious mary/marty-sues, but we do see an arc where he does make mistakes, learns from them and overcomes the challenges. Yeah sure, Mandalorian attracted us because of its cool gear and equipment - but we stayed because we get to see a character-story where an individual evolves and adapts to the environment - not a pre-packaged super-force-using-mechanic-genius.

[@fortieznoshortiez]

Mandalorians in a nutshell. They're badasses but they're imperfect, they perfect their craft through combat to progress and adapt. It's part of their creed.

[@NourHan]

yeah i agree, im glad they didnt make him overpowered

[@dontakami]

Flaws make the character more appealing. It's made quite clear that while he is a very strong individual, (and people do hold him in high regard because he is Mandalorian) he is not infallible. He's scarily good at what he does but it's believable when faced with multiple opponents(Like the jawas). I honestly wouldn't find it half as entertaining if he was good at everything and never failed.

[@augustopatricio5517]

His character are mostly amazing exatly because of his struggles, not because he's incapable, but for his skill and determination to overcome his weaknesses as a "mere human" through sheer willpower and fast thinking and learning

[@carsonm7292]

One thing I really like about this show's depiction of Din Djarin's fighting technique is he actually fights like he is wearing armor. In Star Wars we are used to seeing fighters like jedi who use agility to dodge or deflect attacks like a fencer or duelist. Din on the other hand fights like an armored knight, gauging which blows he can afford let through so that he doesn't have to waste time blocking them and can instead set up his next strike. This is the big difference in real life between armored and unarmored fighting, and I was really pleased to see the show's depiction of hand-to-hand fighting acknowledge this rather than make Din fight as if he weren't wearing armor.

[@ericmurotake5180]

Plus, when you see him move, he's almost ALWAYS doing so in a way that accounts for his armor. Putting heavier plates towards incoming strikes, moving so that there's always armor interposed between him and the enemy, turning so that strikes won't hit the delicate components, etc

[@moriarty1243]

Don't forget walking to the costumer dining to deliver his prey, then to the Mandalorian hideout to talk to the Mando lady with a nasty lightsaber burn wound on his tight, to the point he's wimping all the time and almost, and did, fell the stairs. Or when he has to walk long distances in a freaking desert without water or food. He's covered in dark clothes and armour, how he's not having a heat stroke is impressive. I don't think the armour would have a cooling system of some sort, but that's incredible Edit: I just remembered the episode that he's literally being frozen up slowly due to the glacial place they're and he's just "I'm fine" when you can see the actual ice forming in his armour. I believe he don't have a cooling or heating mechanism, or else the armour would not seem so frozen

If it's like a religion then maybe when they swear the Creed (like getting baptized) is when they get their helmets. That's what the 'extra' beskar for the foundlings is for. I guess that if they want more armour pieces made of beskar they have to get them themselves.

[@annaharrington8397]

He’s a quick thinker, and able to make decisions that can turn the tide of a fight in seconds. I don’t think he’s as doing something like leading all of mandalore, but he has been shown to be able to rally forces to take down enemies. For example, in season one when he and Cara trained that village to take on bandits and that giant machine thing. Or in season two, when he helped bring the tusken raiders and people of mas pelgo together to take on the Krayt dragon. He’s more in his element when fighting than leading, which makes me wonder what will happen with the dark saber

[@ericmurotake5180]

It could be that he takes up a more passive leadership role (acting less as an iron-fisted "We do this my way or else" leader, and instead acts more as a hands off regent (a style driven by his exposure to all sorts of views both within his culture (from the extremist views of the Children of the Watch, to Bo-Katan's more moderate views, to Boba's superficial disregard for the way), and without (people like Kuiil, Pelli, Cara, Ashoka, and Mayfield)).

[@UmbraXCVII]

I wouldn't call him a " rather weak individual" he's definitely an above average physically capable fighter, although he doesn't have much grace.

I felt like the depiction they were going for in the show is really trying to show that he isn't a Jedi or Sith, or any kind of force user at all. In a galaxy of literal space wizards, Mando is just human, but also a human with a technological advantage. He's clever, but not always. He's talented, but not impossibly so. He's concerned that certain feats are impossible, but sometimes he bravely attempts them despite his fear. He doesn't seek them out intentionally but desperate situations lead him to attempt more desperate actions, often only saved by his technological advantage. When he charges into a fight, it's because he knows it's his last option. He's decisive and acts without hesitation, a hallmark of a fighter who relies on honed survival instinct, and not one relying what is basically magic to enhance their perception and/or reactions. This is in comparison to a Jedi, whose calmness and confidence in their abilities see them act diplomatic and nonviolent until the very last moment. Also Sith, guided by their emotions, often blindly attack first regardless of their foe, and are more often caught unready or unprepared for unanticipated developments, relying solely on passion and power. (Of course that mold fits less for the conniving type Sith, but even then that kind of mentality is what defines them.) Like others have said, I don't think he's just charging on all the time, but occasionally when he has no other option he does take the most direct and decisive route. A real do or die mentality when the chips are down, but that to me speaks thematically to what and who he is, a Mandalorian. Mandalorians are great warriors and renowned bounty hunters, and Din displays those qualities, but their other most defining aspect as part of the Star Wars universe is that they are NOT force users. I think the writers/choreographers are trying to convey that fact through the action sequences.

[@KuraiLunae]

Having made and worn helmets based on Din's, I can say that your field of view isn't actually as restricted as you would think. That horizontal slit is long enough that it doesn't affect your peripheral vision hardly at all, and the central vertical part means you can see in front of you pretty easily. Looking down and to the side can be hard, but only if you have a helmet that doesn't fit. Worn properly, your eyes should be aligned with that horizontal slit, which is wide enough that your field of view is practically unaffected. Rant over

[@TheRealAlpha2]

The Razorcrest deserves more credit. Being that it's old it also tends to fly under the radar... literally since it's missing some of the systems that other ships have for tracking it, making it grate as long as he's not being pulled over. For all it's size it's pretty maneuverable, maybe that says more for his piloting skill, but having a ship that can take everything it's been through and still be easy enough to fix when it takes damage is also a plus.

[@chaoskitchen9357]

That would be interesting. I don't know if I want the show to force him to completely give up his views, cos that feels a little disrespectful to him, (I can see Mando taking off the helmet in front of trusted people but keeping it on around everyone else). But I can see him getting captured and some enemy taking his armor away to limit his ability to break out. Would be real fun to see him beat them anyways

He took some pretty big hits and it looked like he had trouble adjusting his fighting style with weaker armor. He's obviously skilled and I agree, an episode dedicated to seeing him fight without the armor would be amazing.

I think my favorite scene in season 1 was mando fighting the deathtrooper in hand to hand combat, it shows that he is actually pretty skilled as death troopers are basically the best of the best with a few augmentations aswell

[@JohnnyJohnnyGalt]

I quibble a bit with the description of Din's tactics. While he is very aggressive generally, I've noticed he likes to come from unexpected angles and wrong-foot his enemies when he can. For example, when he goes to rescue baby Yoda he actually sets up a pretty clever breaching situation by luring the Storm Troopers out of the front entrance, then blowing a hole in a side wall and entering that way. He then proceeds to ambush the troops sent to investigate, and makes a lot of good use of darkness. He pulls a similar maneuver against the criminals in the episode on the prison ship. So while I'd say Din is very much an ATTACK! kind of guy and makes a fair number of mistakes, he still uses his head when he's in a fight. I wonder if this ties into Mandalorian culture in some way, maybe their traditional fighting style is based on always trying to seize the initiative and attack opponents as aggressively as possible.

Boba, on the other hand, shot at Luke once on cloud city, wrapped Luke up in a grapple line for a second before Luke escaped, and survived a Sarlacc Pit. Boba is impressive, but he is overrated.

@@jasomjensai-starwars2652 Boba also fought somebody on par with Asaaj Ventress in close quarters combat, at the age of fifteen, and managed to come out of it unscathed. Plus he was trained by, and was the clone of Jango Fett, the greatest bounty hunter of his time. Comparing the feats of somebody who has an entire show dedicated to them, and the feats of somebody with a few minutes of screen time in two trilogies, is nonsensical. We can infer based on the favoritism that both Darth Vader, AND Jabba the Hutt showed Boba, that he was unrivaled in terms of skill.

[@_Zabbor_]

i think saying that he rushes head first in is fair enough but i feel you you undersold his quick thinking, Din has been shown many times to know the limits of his armor and use it to his advantage, headbutting punches to ruin peoples hands or using many of his tools in many ways to deal with opponents, he even uses his environment to fight like when he was fighting the hulking figure of mister cra- i mean Clancy Brown devaronian (can't remember their name) he used the doors to knock them out after a fight that didn't go that well for him in hand to hand so he switched it up to win, even that hallways part with all the storm troopers, they were blasting down the hallways so there wasn't really any other way down, so much like a medieval knight he trusted his armor and took more than a few hits to make an opening so they could go on. he uses flanking tactics (like in the prison when he runs up behind the droids while the rest of the group is distracting them) and is very good at thinking on the spot, seeing opening and things he can use as weapons, such as the gun in the first episode that he used to just destroy everyone. Sometimes he is a little hotheaded and should really think things through a bit more (like with the jawas) but he really is a smart fighter that knows his own limits and knows when to switch things up

I recall some time ago I decided to make a Mandalorian themed character for a space adventure in D&D, and I can defiantly relate to being prepared. To accomplish my goal, I had to settle for a character that started out more like a survivalist that would grow into a warrior. The DM told me he was fine with me doing what I was doing, but he was also hard on the party a bit. He liked hitting us with something we were not ready for, and he really liked limiting our options when it came to acquiring weapons. So, to reach my goal, I had to make half my gear on my own. Custom grenades, custom blasters, etc. By the time I reached my 20th level, my loadout consisted of nearly 26 weapons. - 5 grenades with two of my party members having extras if needed. - Two blasters (one on each hip) - Basically my "invented" DC17 + attachments. (For sniper and grenade launcher configs) - 8 knives, each hidden around my body with particular ones within reach even if I am tied up or restrained. - 2 other grenades equivalent to a flash (With extras among the party) - 2 smoke screen grenades (again, extras among the party lol) - My "invented" Vibro Sword kept on my back. I say "invented" on some of these because the game was not set in SW so I had to basically invent the weapons myself. Additionally, the rest of the party was a huge support too. They took advantage of what I basically became and if they were not a front line, they carried extra supplies and ammo to assist (mostly) me and the rest of the party. The DM really liked what we had done through the campaign. We went from a mercenary crew with our own ship to basically a strike team for fire. The game ended with a governmental body (some unimportant empire) and they contracted us as what you would call commandos. I got my "inventions" pattened and as usual in my games, started a business (or other venture) that turned me into a wealthy businessman in addition to my existing skillset. I just hired other people to manage the business while I, once in a while, continued to "event" gear. I like to imagine that the character would go on to make a private military. The only thing I did not get to finish making was the Mandalorian suit. The game ended before then and the DM amusingly left me hanging on if I succeeded or not.

Also the matter of the whistleing birds, the show hasn’t shown any counter measures to them so if sax gets to close its game over.

@@issaicx Din would no doubt overtake year one Ashoka. Ashoka in her early days failed to fully block the fire from Aurra Sing. Din has proven some very fast fire rate with his handgun, along with great accuracy. Din also has his jetpack as a solid movement option to help counter her force mobility edge. His flamethrower is also a problem, being 1 of many anti-jedi tools that mando's had. Din also has that crazy taser on the end of his rifle, though melee is not something he should be active in against a jedi. These generally would allow him to overtake an early Ashoka for a solid majority: if they were to encounter each other. Her passive behavior also does her no favors against an opponent like Din.

[@issaicx]

BigPapa N.G the only reason I say maybe is because the force is the wild card in this situation. Din has not gone up against a force user only witness a small fraction of its use, and definitely not the way it was used in the clone wars. Plus Ashoka is also a creative thinker like din himself. I say a 60/40 spilt with din winning most fights . I do see Ashoka winning some in the early fight due to some force moves. Din can easily score in all three stages of the fight with mid fight being his sweet spot , I only see Ashoka making it to the late fight if she plays defensively the entire time and using some cheeky maneuvers to stay alive but I don’t think she could finish the fight. Year two Ashoka would be 55/45 split still in dins favor, year three I’d say 65/35 in Ashokas favor.
