William Henning yeah I agree. As a huge Bane fan and one who thinks the extent to which the rule of two actually worked is at least questionable, that threw me for a loop. When he says that the Forcecast agreed on this tiered structure, I think he means himself Evan and Callan.

Based on the tiering system from this video, Bane is tier 1.5. I’ve always thought he and Dooku would contend very evenly in a fight, with Bane’s raw power giving him the most substantial (but still small) advantage

Tanner Lowrie personally I have little use for tiering systems because they don't account for specific strengths and weaknesses all that well and can create the illusion of false-equality between those appointed to the same tier. That aside your assessment of Bane vs Dooku reads to me as though I wrote it myself. I agree with every word.

Darth Marr can't ever really be used in a Versus series at all. His entire reputation is just that, reputation. He wasn't shown fighting in an comics or video trailers, nor were his powers expanded on in a Role Playing guide. He was undoubtedly a top tier individual, but even the SWTOR combat system fails to provide any distinct or unique technical mechanics of a character's fighting style like what is present in KOTOR. Darth Maglus can be featured. Although he is undoubtedly Tier 1.5 or Tier 1 across the board.

So, how does the Tier system really works : - Tier 1 : Complete Mastery. Absolute paragons of the Force. GM Luke, Yoda, Palpatine - Tier 1.5 : Complete Mastery with minor limitations. The absolute best, though crippling handicaps, age, or overspecialization prevent them from perfection. Dooku, Darth Bane (as of DoE), Darth Vader, Mace Windu, Exar Kun, Kyle Katarn. - Tier 2 : Advanced Mastery. The top of the High Council for the Jedi Order. Obi Wan, Koon and Ti. Other examples could be Darth Malgus (by the time of the False Emperor and Onslaught arcs), Darth Marr, Darth Baras, Darth Thanaton, Kao Cen Darach, Corran Horn, Lumiya, Mara Jade Skywalker. - Tier 2.5 : Advanced Mastery in the making. Anakin Skywalker and arguably DE Luke. - Tier 3 : Standard Mastery. Lower High Council members, great skilled knights or Sith Apprentices. Kit Fisto, Saesee Tinn, Ki Adi Mundi, Adi Gallia, Eeth Koth, Qui Gon Jinn, Jaden Korr, Cade Skywalker, Galen Marek, Sora Bulq, Asajj Ventress, Darth Zannah, Darth Maul. - Tier 4 : Advanced Application. Where most highly skilled masters and knights fall into. Rahm Kota, Luminara Unduli, Quinlan Vos, Cere Junda, RoTJ Luke, Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor), Rebels Ahsoka Tano, Bultar Swan, AoTC Obi Wan and Anakin (with the latter perhaps being a bit higher). - Tier 5 : Standard Application. A tad above the regular mold, usually highly skilled Padawans, mid level knights or low level Dark Siders. Aayla Secura, TPM Obi Wan, TCW Ahsoka (Seasons 3-7), Nahdar Vebb, Kanan Jarrus, Cal Kestis (JFO), Darth Wredd, Komari Vosa, Savage Opress, Teneb Kel, Kylo Ren (yes, eat your hearts out). - Tier 6 : Basic Application. The barebone basics of how to use a lightsaber and the Force. Ezra Bridger (Rebels Season 1-2), Yun, the Petranaki Arena fodder. - Tier 7 : Basic Knowledge. Younglings and untrained Force users. ANH Luke, Grogu (a.k.a. Baby Yoda). Feel free anyone to chime in and either correct or add, thanks.

It's unfortunate, in his case, that he turned Sith...he's one of those ones who would probably have achieved much more in terms of sheer ability as a Jedi.

+Evan I def agree with Jensarrai1's assessment of Maul, heavily disagree with Kun's. When I do the tiering system, I include + and - in order to show the degree of variance and because its a tad more accurate. Here are my overall rankings for Kun. Physical: Tier 2 (agree with Jensarrai1. Peak human heavy hitter but lack of composure makes him a glass cannon). Martial Arts/Dueling: Tier 2 with single and dual blade techniques (comic said Kun and Ulic were basically equals and I place Ulic at tier 2). With saberstaff, tier 1.5 (much like Ventress, I believe Kun becomes more skillful when in use of his heavily customized weapon that allows him to maximize the effectiveness of his skill). Force wielder: Tier 1-. While Kun's amulet amp makes his raw force power tier 1 maybe even low tier 1+, his application is very direct and basic. Also, 13:05. That being said, I think Kun's skill and understanding of Sith Sorcery is not to be underestimated. Sith Sorcery in gen. can be some serious hax. Also, Jensarrai1 called Kun weak def. when going up against Odan-Urr which I agree. A tier 1- is going to have a bad time against a tier 1+ (especially because tier 1 in gen. has the most amount of variance out of all of the tiers). Basically, while Kun's power, hax, and knowledge of Sith Sorcery, and overall offensive is tier 1, maybe tier 1+, his deficiencies in terms of skill set and application weighs him down to tier 1-. Overall: Like Jensarrai1, I consider Kun's rating to be based on force abilities making him tier 1- (btw I put Darth Bane, Darth Malgus, and Cade Skywalker at this level). While his hax and overall fuckery makes him a terrifying offensive powerhouse, his uneven skill set, lack of composure and foresight, and spotty def makes him very high risk/high reward. But those are just my thoughts and I would love to hear yours on this topic.

I say he's at the top of tier 2, a tier 1 in the making. but I don't actually think he ever actually achieved tier 1 status. as I agree with EvanNova95's Hoth vs Bane video.

Antares Draco vs Ki Adi Mundi: Draco is a master duelist who slayed dozens of low tier sith and contended with Darth Havoc, Darth Talon and Celeste Morne( muur talisman). Mundi held out the longest in a match with Grevious and had a brief match with Ventress ( a draw since she had to leave before either could get an advantage.) I think he may have fought magnigaurds…. I’m not sure. Kit Fisto and Nadar Vebb vs Galen Marek and Rham Kota. Depa Bilaba vs Shado Vao. Darth Nihl vs Assajj Ventress.( legends).

Just finished TCW season 7 and rewatched this and felt like talking about Maul. There are several of your points about how TCW failed Maul as a character that I agree with namely turning his distinctive look into a slave brand ( THOSE ARE SITH TATTOOS DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!) . But while I enjoy Maul as a diamond in the rough , It doesn’t really Bother me that in canon he’s breed to be a warrior and is the child of a powerful dark side figure. In a previous video ( can’t remember which you were on a group chat) you mentioned Maul wouldn’t be interested in revenge on Kenobi , only in returning to Sidious. I personally don’t see how he wouldn’t want to butcher the person who cut him in half and sent him into animal crazed exhale . Now I agree that wouldn’t be his sole motivator but it would definitely be his secondary motivation after serving the sith cause. As for Sidious , I fully agree he’d want to return to sidious and continue his Sith destiny, but even if he did sidious would never take him back. Sidious hates failure and even if he took Maul back based solely on him surviving certain death, he’d still have lost his destiny as apprentice to Dooku. I loved All of Darth Maul’s canon appearances except for Son of Dathomire as I fully believed Maul would want to return to sidious and felt he’d need to prove himself worthy again by taking power for himself and procuring a section of the galaxy that wasn’t already on Sidious immediate radar. But they decided to have him just get power so he and his mom could kill Sidious. THAT is something you and I completely agree on as sucking. But otherwise I’m cool with the changes to Maul’s personality as he went through a major physical trauma AND he immersed himself so deeply in the dark side that he survived being cut in half and made a set of legs( that were held together for over a decade only with the force) so I can accept those changes to the character. Plus the canon has confirmed that before his defeat on Naboo his personality was the same as legends ( with slightly more dialogue and slightly more individuality) a hardcore Sith warrior and cult follower who was a being made of hate and bloodlust. But he also was very arrogant, impatient, and longed to reveal himself as a sith to the galaxy. He had the same tactical sensibilities as you just described, but then traded them for his tcw tactical sensibilities. In all I admit that Phantom Menace Maul is a superior character, but I still enjoy TCW Maul.

An excellent video with an intriguing analysis. I'd like to point out though that Exar Kun was able to fight Ulic Qel-Droma to a standstill (the comic even states that neither could overcome the other) without using any tricks or style shifts, just good old fashioned swordsmanship (since he hadn't modified his lightsabre into a sabre-staff at that point). Given that Ulic was the best Form V master of his day (and arguably the best duellist overall), I'd say that demonstrates a very high level of skill even when he's limited to just one configuration.

Exactly. Ulic was an amazing duellist, probably the best of his era. Being able to fight him on equal footing is highly impressive. Plus we see Exar Kun duel twice with the sabre-staff, once against Vodo and then against Ood Bnar. Against Vodo Kun started with his standard lightsabre and only switched to using the sabre-staff after the first exchange. Against Ood he was under a time constraint (a supernova was hurtling towards the planet) and needed to finish him fast so he opened with the sabre-staff. This suggests that his usual method is to start with standard lightsabre combat and switch to his sabre-staff only if the opponent gives him difficulty.

One of your weapon videos could be interesting if you compared the lightsabers of Exar Kun, Zannah, and Darth Maul. They are the same weapon type but their different lengths are indicative of the users personality and fighting style. personally I think the length of Maul’s rebels lightsaber is the perfect length for a saber staff, since it is shorter than his original weapon ( that was too big and an easy target) and is still large enough the he can comfortably use both hands without sacrificing grip. Or maneuverability.( Exar Kin’s saber is barely big enough for one hand when both blades are active, with both hands it’s a miracle he has all his fingers. Zannah’s weapon is closer to mauls, but made to her body type.)

This overall is a really really solid post-mortem and already looking forward to whats coming next. Macattack's tier breakdown is also really really good and something I agree with. However, I strongly disagree with your assessment of certain characters when you described your tier list and your assessment of Exar Kun. As other people have complained in the comments, Darth Bane is more tier 1- but I think this gripe is mainly due to how you built your system. Luke as of ROTJ felt more like AOTC Kenobi/tier 5 to me. I would not consider him top tier master and instead more top tier knight/low tier master. Interested why Darth Wreed is tier 5. Based on your video of him vs Kressh, I consider him more of a tier 4. I also think TPM Kenobi is tier 6 not tier 5. Tier 5 goes to his AOTC incarnation (Alongside ROTJ Luke). Exar Kun: I def agree that Kun's base skill is around a tier 2 level. I rank Ulic at this level and these 2 were capable of slugging it out quite evenly. Based on the description in the comic though, it stated that if this fight continued, it was basically a stalemate. But Kun's saberstaff provides him a ton of options to work with making him basically the General Greivous of his era. However, I consider Kun's as a tier 1.5 when he's using his saberstaff technique. It is layered and highly developed, but it does have some big weaknesses to it (kind of like Dooku). Considering Ulic's greater live experience and his style is optimized for strength based dueling, I can conceive that Ulic probably has the odds in his favor, but this should still be seen as highly impressive for Kun and an excellent indication of his skill. However, if Kun had his saberstaff or used force abilities, I say Kun would have likely won. Also, if you put Kun at tier 2, does that mean we are putting Darth Krayt at tier 2 as well? Because that I highly disagree with (but that's another argument). I heavily disagree with is putting Exar Kun at tier 1.5 for force abilities. While his base force power is not tier 1, the factor of his amulet does put him at the tier 1 level. Also, Kun's sith sorcery is some pretty impressive hax. His feats and abilities def puts him on the tier 1 level. Considering that you place Odan Urr on par with Yoda and Plague, this doesn't mean Kun is weak on def. While his abilities are very direct, they are highly advanced. Yoda, Plague are tier 1+ force wielders, Kun overall is a tier -1 force wielder. Also there is a statement that says Kun is more powerful than any Jedi of the era which includes Nomi and Thon (agree with Thon, Nomi is highly questionable though). Overall, I place Exar Kun as a tier -1. His unorthodox fuckery and raw power makes him extremely dangerous (especially when he's on an offensive front), but his thinly spread skill set, lack of composure, and holes in certain parts of his skill set does not make him definitive tier 1 let alone tier 1+. As for Darth Maul, I already knew your assessment, and I agree with it (except Maul's characteristics makes him a tier 2.5 to me), I just wanted to know your thoughts on his pure unarmed skills. I personally put him at tier 2 due to his style having punch, kick, clinch, and ground fighting (the 4 aspects of MMA fighting), but likely isn't a true tier 1. Overall, my main argument with your tier system is that its a bit to broad for me and makes people heavily underestimate or overestimate characters. The reason I use added a + and - system is to show the high degree of variance in each tier and because it provides a higher degree of accuracy. Glad to see you looked at some criticisms people had (including me) about this matchup and for the record, I'm not saying this is bad at all (your quality is always amazing). I just highly disagree with some of your assessments. Either way, looking forward to whats coming next. PS: Liam the Padawan and Coleman Trebor are memetic tier which makes them tier meme or tier 0.

Tanner Lowrie I disagree with you there, Maul is far more powerful than people give him credit for, I mean he was chosen with no skill compared to mother talzin who was easily one of the best sorceresses ever. The reason Mauls force abilities are so basic is because he doesn’t use them, he instead uses his martial skill, which is on par with duelists like kenobi, shaak ti, or Vader. He just has a very specific style that can be exploited by makashi or heavy use of the force.

I always feel like Kun is getting overrated by his style changing, force powers seem similar to Darth Nihilis honestly. Opening up with overwhelming power to anyone who can’t handle him but utterly abandoning his force abilities if he can’t pull an instant win. I feel like Anakin would be able to dissect Kun’s fighting abilities but not really prepared to handle the force sorcery but theoretically able to handle it.

With a single bladed Lightsaber, I can see why exar kun is as skilled as he is along with using twin lightsabers, assuming he's actually using them cleverly and not as a brutish berserker as the artwork seems to indicate at times, but with his unique double bladed Lightsaber...........I'm not exactly sure. I honestly think a weapon like his would do just about as much harm to the user as it does good or even worst, mainly due to the issue of having a grip space that looks like enough for a hand and a half, even with him being able to switch the power between each end of the weapon, it'd still be a risk to him if someone pushes his blade back or counters him right, he'd pretty much be hurting himself or killing himself. Even with using physical augmentation to bolster his strength into his one hand and arm, it would still be difficult to handle the weapon when pushed back or countered. On top of that, would he really be that skilled with the weapon, I mean I can be wrong on this, but we've only seen him use it only once or twice, and it was against an opponent who was not use to a Lightsaber staff and the other fight looked he only clashed blades once and his opponent was blind sided by a musasi soldier.

Very interesting, but I have one question. Is it possible to simply take Exar Kun's artifacts away from him, literally stripping away his power? Also, going off your comparisons to Dooku, I see Exar Kun as the type of warrior who has taken full advantage of his prime without thinking about the future. His exhausting strategy would come back to bite him when he's older (had he survived till then). Unlike Maul who had room to grow, Kun used the dark side like a drug and it would've torn his body apart after a while. His only hope would be sorceries, turning himself into a nightsister-like force wielder. But I don't see that happening because of his personality. I don't think he would adapt until it was too late. Thinking on it more, Exar Kun reflects the criticisms the Rule of Two Era Sith had on the Old Republic Sith. He was powerful, yes, but he was purely a destructive force with no lasting impact or legacy (at least nothing fully thought out). Compare him to Bane, Plagueis, or Vader where their affects on the galaxy are felt centuries or millennia after their deaths and Exar Kun really didn't matter in the grand scheme of the Sith.

If you wouldn’t mind I’d like an explanation. Also I LOVE this series please keep doing it. I also felt as if Maul was a little underrated especially as a duelist. I like how you described him as a kickboxer with a lightsaber. But just because he was primarily a martial artist shouldn’t affect his skill with a lightsaber. I personally see maul as a tier 2.5 or 2 just like Anakin but I can see how you would mark maul lower. Me personally I still think you low balled Maul and Anakin. But I do respect your opinion.

I find that Shaak ti is really overhyped with her abilities and I actually think that she’s far worse than people say. Yes she’s a skilled duelist but she’s never pulled off any impressive feats. Kenobi I think is tier 3 because he lacks raw power. That’s one of the reasons he wasn’t named to become a padawan. Also he gets ragdolled by forcewielders like maul, who is on his level, and ventress, who is far below him.

Sora Bulq vs Darth Malak: a mismatch at first glance but aside from the force lightning and slightly more tactical mindset the two are very similar offensive dervishes. Both displayed strategic planning outside of combat but in combat Malak uses a tad better tactical thinking. I’d argue that in terms of training/ability/experience Bulq is at least slightly better but his devolution into a feral dark sider has evened the playing field. Both use blunt applications of the force but aside from stasis and force lightning Malak has no combative force abilities that Bulq lacks.

Maul isn’t anywhere close to being the best swordsman of his time, and either version of Maul has weaknesses that Kas’im can exploit, TPM Maul’s distaste for the Force, and TCW Maul’s lack of tactical foresight.

Tanner I agree Kassim out fences Maul fairly handily. The contention point for me is that when it comes right down to it, Maul isn't a fencer. "Kickboxer with a lightsabre" as it were. That's something likely fairly alien to Kassim. However dealing with superior blade to blade duelists is likely pretty common to Maul. After all his teacher was Sidious, who completely eclipses Kassim. Even in a force match, I'm not sure that imbalance would be as much as issue as both combatants are 90% physical fighters. Basic powers are likely all either would employ, and I doubt either has the raw power to really harm the other directly in that manner. Again my opinion, but I see this one being much closer even with the mismatch because of how the two would go at each other. The strongest doesn't always win a fight after all.

It’s stated how Nomi was the “Luke Skywalker” of the era but I would still place her at her prime to be at Yoda level at best so a little bit below GM Luke though still insanely impressive.

@austinkersey2445
@austinkersey2445 2 жыл бұрын
In my opinion, the way it plays out is this: Physical Ability: Obviously, this goes to Exar Kun. Equipment: Exar Kun barely takes it. Martial Arts Training and Lightsaber skills: Dooku takes it due to superior skill and refinement of Makashi versus Exar Kun's spread-thin Niman. Kun's Trakata counters and constant blade-length manipulations would be ineffective against the Count. Force Ability: Dooku wins by having a similar level of offensive output with a highly comparable, if not greater level of variety and skill when compared to Exar Kun. He also has very robust defenses, which Kun severely lacks. Strategy and Tactics: Dooku wins pretty convincingly, due to his superior strategic and tactical sensibilities. Kun can at times walk into encounters with a bad plan, or worse, no plan at all. When he does this it tends to bite him in the ass. Dooku has contingencies and countermeasures out the ass, and has proven his intellectual ability time and again versus one of the Jedi Order's greatest in his era (Obi-Wan Kenobi). Dooku is generally superior, though not by enough to where Exar Kun can not compete. It's just that Dooku held a deep and intimate understanding of the Force, with a vast pool of knowledge and skill that came with his age. Kun was the prodigy who took shortcuts, as mentioned in the video. He just wasn't developed enough to match Dooku. This is just my opinion, but I like to think it makes sense. If I'm gonna be fair though, it would be close, and would be an entertaining fight nonetheless.

Dueling: According to the Wizards of the Cost, "Desann and Kyle had multiple hazardous confrontations, during which each combatant attempted to persuade the other to join his cause" This indicates that Desann's overall level of combative ability is on the level of Kyle Katarn. While its true Katarn wasn't technically at his prime yet, this is still extremely impressive. Force abilities: Desaan is capable of battlemind boosting his combat performance, force lightning, and force illusions capable of deceiving Kyle Katarn. I have no idea if K'Kruhk is capable of dealing with force illusions. Also worth noting that he has force pushed Luke Skywalker (who at this point is somewhere between DE and GM), and force choked Kyle Katarn. I guess this isn't a curbstomp and instead more of a mismatch.

Was skilled enough to duel Ventress on even ground despite starting the fight with a disability (Ventress resorted to her powers first once Luminara started pushing her back) making her a tier 3 duelist. In terms of force powers she matched Ventress's output and was strong enough to hold up a cave in on illum. She also uses Telekinesis in clever ways such a parrying a force push with her own and using telekinesis to attack chameleon droids with their own bombs. She seems like a tier 3 to me despite not being on the council.

I don't disagree with the analysis. However, I do raise a point of contention with the heavy emphasis on Exar Kun's weak core skills. If anything, that points to Exar Kun's deep understanding that his core fundamentals are weak. He recognizes his own weakness and thus creates a way to bypass them. He is not a good single saber duelist, thus he uses a double bladed saber staff. He is not so impressive without his tricks, that is why he works to improve them. To me, it shows that Exar Kun enjoys fighting. He is willing to handicap himself in order to have a more enjoyable fight. When he recognizes that a fight will not be enjoyable, he one shots out the door. Or if he recognizes that he may lose, he resorts to his bag of tricks.

That speaks more to arrogance then. If he realizes that his core saber technique is lacking and builds a saberstaff to compensate, its just him realizing the problem and brushing it aside or pretending to ignore it by using a gadget to cover up his mistakes. Unlike Anakin, who is arrogant as kun but realizes his mistakes and learns from them in both the EU and TCW, Kun is content to rely on his customized weapon to pull him through scenarios that he knows his core technique would be inefficient to handle. Kun's major weakness is his arrogance. While that is common among sith, Kun takes it further because he won't improve his saber technique to address the issue. He just creates a gadget as a viable solution

His force abilities are tier 1+. Just short of demi god level. But his dueling skill is ass.

Valkorion is on the same level as Luke and Sidious if not above.

@@lapplandkun9273 No argument here. But I am tired of Obi Wan always getting off easy. No Sidious, Revan, Ragnos or Nihilus Just matched against everyone else while avoiding the devastating dark Siders make his matches set ups with foregone conclusions.

Diego Ruiz Added years usually benefit Force user's rather then hinder them, putting that to the side though, Anya never confronted Vader directly, she only managed to last against him by using subversion tactics on her home turf.

Can you do a post mortem for your Malak vs Yoda matchup?
@Spellshot693
@Spellshot693 6 жыл бұрын
Ed Waiwood I actually wouldn’t like that. We all know where he ranks Yoda overall, so that wouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Preferably, he should do it with a matchup between 2 characters who we don’t know his placement of (like Darach vs Bulq)

Roan Shryne and Galen Marek, defeated Vader with advanced free form fighting techniques Jensaarai1 said as much in his Exar Kun vs Darth Vader Matchup. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXLHeY2qd8Shb6s I suggest the matchup because there is the chance the Battlemaster Darache would endure and pull a Trakata maneuver like he did against Vindican. Also did you not see the beginning of this video, high tiers have been defeated by challengers below their league. I still think its a 2/3 advantage Vader yet I still think this would be a worthwhile matchup. Its not like we haven't guessed the outcome before: Dooku vs Marek. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaivgqKIm9ugn7c This matchup pointed out how the same form of combat differed in intensity between Jedi and Sith philosophy: Plo Koon vs Vader. They were both Form V power duelist using force superior firepower to end the fight, and the fact of the matter was Vader took it farther and was superior for it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6DPmZ-JdpeSn8U

Ed Waiwood I honestly don’t see a scenario where Darach wins. Even if he gets Shan’s saberstaff. And all of the time with those matchups where higher tiers lost to lower tiers, there were numerous circumstances in favor of the lower tiers, while these videos are supposed to represent who wins the majority of the time and 99% of the time, Darach won’t have a circumstance to exploit against Vader

I have said this to you many times, the only reason the Son of Skywalker beat Lord Vader is because Anakin had started to return after discovering he also had a daughter. Maul. Thought he was cool. Totally different. Yet as the Emperor said, he is a tool. The Clone Wars, Solo, and Rebels stuff is giving him too much credit. He is just Fan Service,the same as that Tano surviving Order 66 and her destruction at the blade of her former Master. Fan Service.

How the hell is Anakin only tier 3? He was extremely powerful in the force and accredited the finest D’jem So master Dooku had ever seen. Just as a Padawan, Anakin displayed more skill than Kenobi at the time. If Anakin is only displayed as a “tier 3” character in the 3v3 matchup that will probably never be made, then I doubt the verdict will be credible.

Looking forward to your new series :-) but I did have a criticism of the last one of Exar Kun and Darth Maul. In my opinion it was a big mismatch. I took one look at the video without even watching and I automatically knew Kun was going to win. I think a better matchup would have been Phantom Menace Darth Maul versus Darth Zannah. Or pin Exar Kun against someone who uses similar tactics like Darth krayt or Darth Revan

Timothy Eckard he’s talked about Maul vs Zannah before in his and Evan’s 2 Episode Fanalysis about reading the comments sections for Versus Suggestions (I forget what it’s called) a few months ago.
