Versus Series: Savage Opress VS Jaden Korr

Jaden says hello Savage threatens to kill Jaden Savage ceases to live Jaden goes home and cracks open a cold brew with Kyle

Without even watching. Jaden took on multiple force users pumped up in similar ways to Savage. I'm gonna go with the one trained by Kyle and Luke

[@pierreprtn4059]

to be honest savage never was properly trained by any of is master compare it with jaden who was trained.

[@trollzynisaacjohan1793]

@Zandris Hugal your on drugs dude. Jaden Korr defeated marka Ragnos muh dude. he also defeated Tavion (then got possessed by Marka Ragnos), Rosh Penin, the Vothos Twins and faced boba Fett.

[@kirillzakharov7336]

@Zandris Hugal the only reason oppress killed Gallia was because of his sheer physical power, when he charged at her with his horns as a mindless raging monster he is; and, as shown by her and kenobi, maul, and sidius, as well as that random jedi, he is weak against hand to hand combat. also, sidius was toying with him, and plo koon only lost when he was distracted and had his mast taken from him by savage. and dooku noted him as being sloppy. Yes, savage has skill and is certainly to be respected for whatever he has achieved, but his story would have been a lot shorter than it was under different circumstances

[@mc_rysiek5277]

@Zandris Hugal Prior to the events of the books, Jaden was offered the rank of Master, but he declined since he didn't consider himself ready. Using Opress' "fight" with Sidious already shows that you have no real arguments. Sidious was toying with him. He was literally side stepping all of Opress' attacks while laughing his ass off. Beating Marka Ragnos already blows anything Opress did away. Ignoring the fact that Jaden had barely few months of formal training under his belt, he did this after cutting his way through scores of Disciples of Ragnos. What's more, the fight took place on Korriban, a powerful dark side nexus, which means that Jaden was not at his best when fighting Ragnos, while Ragnos himself was amped.

[@dakotatrue12]

@@kirillzakharov7336 "the only reason Opress killed Gallia was because of his sheer physical power" you say that like it undermines the feat of killing a council member? It doesn't. His sheer power being able to overpower her skill is a great feat. Also, you say he's bad at hand to hand combat? I don't know if you mean actual hand to hand or lightsaber combat. If you mean hand to hand, than no, by no means is he bad at hand to hand combat. If you mean lightsaber combat, he is still not bad. Being able to keep up with Obi Wan, Anakin, etc. Is honestly really impressive, considering the fact that he hasn't actually had any real training with it. He also has no problem deflecting blaster bolts. And his force power is absolutely insane, he managed to force choke both Asajj Ventress AND Count Dooku at the same time and they had no defense against it. Now you can make the excuse that they were caught off guard, which I completely disagree with because there is no way Dooku is caught off guard that easily, but even if that is the case, he ALSO put both Anakin and Obi Wan on their asses when he dueled them for the first time, and there's no excuses for that one because they were clearly on guard. He also kept up with Palpatine, which I know Palps was toying with him, but it's still impressive, maybe only slightly but still.

[@alialramadhan4748]

@@EvanNova95 that, that is why people fall to the dark side

[@TinyTorah]

Love that you're including Jaden Korr in a versus; he's criminally overlooked. 1:51-2:02, I mean, we know it resisted blaster-fire, and from the look of it, where Kenobi amputated Savage, that very well could have been located in a gap in the armor... so I at least have no issue with the notion that his armor, specifically the spots where it protected him, was indeed lightsaber-resistant. That said, I don't think it was anywhere near comparable to cortosis or beskar in its degree of resistance to lightsabers. 2:58, great find! You've improved so much since you first began, especially with your sourcing. It's super appreciated. 18:22, to be fair, while you make a solid point that Ragnos indeed had centuries of experience over Korr, it's also worth noting that Ragnos hadn't physically wielded a weapon in thousands of years, so... needless to say, he'd have been rusty AF. XD While Korr's feat of besting a Ragnos-possessed-Tavion is of course impressive no matter how you slice it, it's nowhere near as impressive as it appears on a surface-glance. I've seen people use that fight and its outcome to try to diminish Ragnos, but when factoring in all the circumstances, it's clearly more impressive of Korr than embarrassing for Ragnos, what with Ragnos likely being as rusty as he was, and not being able to draw upon anywhere near the amount of power he would have possessed in his prime. While I ultimately think it wouldn't affect the outcome in either lightsaber dueling or the overall verdict, I think Jaden's missing fingers would be a small detriment specifically when defending against power blows. 34:43, it's important to note however that against Ventress and Dooku, they were both distracted, and Savage had a rage-amp going for him. Against Anakin and Kenobi directly following, the prior wasn't the case, but the latter still was. When did Savage breach Maul's Force defenses? Ah, in that one pic from the comic. Gotcha. Pretty sure Maul wasn't defending against Savage though, and, like Ventress and Dooku, was caught off-guard there. 42:45, since when is exploding corpses into "a shower of bone and dried flesh" "atomizing"? I'd liken this feat more accurately to be a slightly-diet version of a pre-prime Bane exploding dozens of technobeasts, or Vader exploding lyleks, whose thick carapaces were resistant to blaster-fire, with TK. Aside from most of my above nitpickings, this may be one of your best videos. Props!

I wasn't sure how this match would go when I first clicked on it. On one hand, Savage could have basically freight-trained his way through Jaden like he did with Adi Gallia, while on the other hand Jaden could have outmaneuvered and outplayed Savage in a similar manner that Sidious did (though without all the dark-side craziness). Suffice to say, I'm very happy with the outcome and a great video as usual.

Speaking of visual presentation, I loved these spear that Savage Opress used initially. It really broke up the monotony of the lightsaber.

[@bacon-eatingpenguin8826]

Very intresting video as always Evan, Love your videos! This season will without a doubt be as great as the rest! Keep doing what you do, and may the force be with you.

[@AndreVeaseyJr]

Honestly, I have a feeling that Jaden Korr would take the win but after more explanation on Savage Opress with his physical, martial, and force capabilities I was questioning there if Opress could really beat Jaden. I had no idea that he was stronger than Maul in the force either. The guy has raw talent but he hasn't had many years to hone it and relies too much on what worked for him in the past. When he gets angry also he does get sloppy but when his telekinesis is unleashed he does cause some damage. Sometimes the matches you do I judge is one sided but they aren't as one sided as I thought.

Congrats on the new season Evan. I very much agree with your assessment of both characters here. Can't wait for more. Hope you or the other Fanalysis council members do: 1) Mara Jade vs. Shaak Ti 2) Lumiya vs. Nomi Sunrider 3) Corran Horn vs. Yareal Poof 4) Darth Krayt vs. Exar Kun 5) Ferus Olin vs. Zayne Carrick 6) Aurra Sing(Legends) vs. Ventress(Dark Disciple) 7) Rahm Kota vs. Even Piell

[@robgeorge4581]

These look interesting: 1) Mara. Her alternative disciplines, sidearms, and force abilities should beat out Shaak Ti. Quite close though. 2) idk. Lumiya can whip Nomi to death but Nomi stomps as force wielder. Probably Nomi because Sever Force=hax. 3) Horn is the superior duelist and can deal with illusions but Poof has some solid hax. For example, Poof uses combustion to literally burn Horn to death. 4) Have discussed this many times. Darth Krayt in an asspull if this is post resurrection Krayt. IF Vong Infested Krayt then Kun. 5) Zayne. He has supernatural luck/probability manipulation which is top tier hax. 6) Not touching. Hate Dark Disciple 7) idk.

[@wristofkings]

Jade in a close fight via broader array of tools and greater Force power. Nomi stomps via Force sever, if she doesn't Lumiya tears her to pieces. Weird matchup, I kinda like it. Leaning Corran on the basis of his lightsaber skills but Poof's got some fairly hax abilities in his arsenal. Skip. Olin holds a commanding skill advantage but Zayne's probability manipulation could make that moot. Leaning Kota personally, Piell's short stature and lack of reach is a pretty big liability against opponents that can compete with his skill.

[@ariesstorm9577]

Rewatching this video again, I noticed in the clip showing him sparring with Dooku, it looks like Savage is using the Outer Ring of Defence, you’ll notice how he holds the blade matches Corran Horn’s description of the style in I, Jedi. Couple that with Savage’s consistent flat footed manoeuvres and wide sweeps he favours leads me to believe that he was an instinctual practitioner of the Strong style rather than one specifically trained in that style. The closest analogue I can compare him to martially is Bane during the early days of his lightsaber training, when Kas’im observed him practicing the basics and decided that Bane would be best suited to Djem So. Savage just never got a style to focus on and so kept to what he knew. Also, I don’t why most sources cite that his lightsaber resembled Dooku’s when to me it looks more like a double-bladed but simplified version of Anakin Skywalker’s lightsabers: a solid casing with a slanted emitter and the signature thick ridged handgrip of all the lightsabers constructed by Anakin and Vader. This weapon design could support my theory that Savage was indeed a user of an unrefined variation of either Djem So/Strong style or the Outer Ring of Defence Sorry for the long post, Savage was one of my favourite characters to come out of TCW 😅

Shan stomps with her Force Powers, after foregoing her lightsaber. 5. Katarn, after getting annoyed with Mauls resilience and stomps him with the Force. 6. Lumiya. 7. Nihl plays shadow tag, like Tholme, only more aggressive, and ambushes Bulq. 8. Shan stomps with the Force, because she gets tired of Ti's hit and run tactics. 9. Pavan, as a fully trained Knight, wins but Olin makes him work for it. Dont care about the rest....

Koon. More varied and proactive force wielder. Krayt in an asspull. Jensaarai1 did that. Shan stomps if GM. Even as a Jedi Knight, she can catch lightsabers and destroy 1/3 or so of a mountain. Kyle. Lumiya whips Jinn to death. Bulq is more skilled +expereinced, Nihl is more underhanded. idk right now. Shan if GM. Force power Dif is ridiculous. Jax probably. Can deflect laser beams, and has time manipulation. Kir Kanos because he is more badass. Kir Kanos idk.

[@light687]

Rob George i could legitimately argue that ventress would beat Satele. She’s a better duelist by a solid margin and is atleast somewhat comparable in the force. And her aggressive fighting style wouldn’t allow Satele to rev up her Tk attacks. As for the mountain feat, she was amped by the energy she absorbed when she used Tutaminis on Malgus’s saber

Amazing video as always EvanNova95.

[@alexalexalex92]

Great video! Always good to see nuance given to characters like these, given they're so often sensationalized to be more than they are, or otherwise completely dismissed. One thing, though, regarding Jaden's feat against Ragnos...I can't help but wonder whether lightsaber duelling is like many other martial arts, wherein people who were dominant 100, 50, even 10 years ago would be outclassed today because the study moves just that fast. I don't think it's unseeable that what qualified as a master duellist in Ragnos' time might be something that a prodigious talent with the NJO's knowledge base to pull from could pick up much more quickly. It's not that he's doing something he shouldn't be able to do--it's that the art REALLY matured with time. A couple requests: Plo Koon v. Jerec, Darth Caedus v. Darth Malgus, and Jedi Purge A'Sharad Hett v. Vindican.

Galen Marek vs Jaden Korr: two warriors powerful in the force that operate a general purpose combatants who utilize multiple complimentary styles to exploit an opponent’s weakness instead of emphasizing their own personal strengths.

He truly had enormous potential as a duelist

[@tiredjediknight3110]

This is a far more balanced and fair view of Opress's capabilities and I both applaud that large improvement and agree with the result of this video. Also excellent quality as usual it's a treat to watch by the way. That being said we really have to stop this pretense that during their duel Plo was the one at a disadvantage because he simply was not. Plo was not the opponent outnumbered in that fight nor was he the opponent being shot at whilst also dealing with a high calibre Jedi master. Opress on the other hand was and he was able to contend on roughly even footing with the Kel Dor council master despite these disadvantages. Plo allowing himself to become distracted in life or death 1v1 is also not a mark in his favour considering it allowed Opress to seize an exploit a tactical advantage which almost cost Koon his life.

[@vincentescolano]

Nope lol time for some perspective and context. Plo Koon had not faced Savage Opress before that engagement and before we get into that fight I will remind you Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi working in tandem were both thrown around by Opress in the 1st and 2nd engagement they had with him. The first time Savage Opress was simultaneously force choking someone not even phased by them and after he threw them off overpowering both easily. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6urnnSGhpWkhrs The second fight Anakin and Obi Wan didn't gain an inch of ground the entire engagement and were both driven back not to mention each sent flying by Opress's force waves. kzbin.info/www/bejne/faCXmqt4jNySd9U Savage Opress also staggered back Dooku sending him flying before being subdued by Dooku’s force powers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/baSWqWulrZeHpac 1v1 in a later season after 2 prior engagements Savage Opress staggered Obi Wan Kenobi and manhandled him breaking his defenses outright with only one blade then subdued him with physical strikes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/baXFn3Wta71md7c So trying to pretend that Plo Koon did badly when in his FIRST fight with Opress he took him head on blow for blow, on his own, gave little ground at all, tanked a kick to the head, then actually landed a saber strike amidst Opress's bulldozer assault is a lot better than anything Kenobi and Skywalker together managed their 1st and 2nd fight and is way more substantial than Obi Wan being tossed around 1v1 lol after 2 prior engagements. This does not even mention the fact Dooku was also sent flying by Opress’s blows so anyone able to even hold remote ground is setting a bar at this point because he's just so stifling. As for the Clones if you look at the comic Opress blasted back the clones immediately and the fight was one on one until the Clone trooper came back and distracted Plo Koon. In a 1v1 without outside interference that would never have happened. Plo Koon proved he can take everything Savage was bringing to the table and even responded by breaking his defenses while under constant fire. Even if in a 1v1 Savage Opress wasn’t going down and Plo Koon didn't possess the sheer kinetic force to compete physically enough to actually overwhelm him (possible I concede) the second Plo Koon turned to his force abilities namely electric judgment the fight would have ended. Savage Opress proved he has no defense against energy based attacks and doesn't even know to use his lightsaber. kzbin.info/www/bejne/baSWqWulrZeHpac Plo Koon only lost because of circumstances and rating his relative performance alone against Opress he did better than both Anakin and Obi Wan did in their first few engagements.

Now I’m a big savage fan but this is the equivalent of pitting a poodle (savage) against a Alsatian (Haden)

[@starwarzchik112]

Nomi Sunrider vs. Revan? it’d be an interesting match, since Nomi is missing and likely dead in KOTOR, but at that time she would not have been old enough to die of natural causes, and the only person who likely would’ve been strong enough to kill her would be Revan him/herself. So this is a duel we can reasonably assume to have happened, albeit offscreen! Keep in mind that Nomi would likely be in her 60s at the time :)

[@darylsdesigns6679]

Control in regards of raw Force potential, Caedus gets the edge for...obvious reasons, but in terms of combative application, I’d say its a draw. As lightsaber duelists, I believe Caedus would win because unlike Plageus, Caedus is more willing to use his lightsaber in one-on-one combat

[@tiredjediknight3110]

Caedus but it's a good fight.

I truly enjoy seeing Jaden Korr in versus matches. I'd love to see him go up against Starkiller!

It's a good fight but I'd lean towards star killer personally

[@zackthezabarak739]

Kao Cen Darach vs Count Dooku: the battlemaster and the duelist . Even as a short this would be fun since Darach symbolizes everything dooku hates about lightsaber combat. Plus even if you view it as a mismatch, Darach was able to hold off an opponent of dooku’s caliber and dooku wouldn’t be able to exhaust him like malgus did. Bare minimum dooku would have to slowly widdle down darachs defense while exhausting himself. And in terms of force ability darach is below him, but has enough power to stay in the fight

[@wristofkings]

Apprentice Malgus was at least a full tier below where he'd be at the time of Deceived, let alone his later False Emperor incarnation. Kao is a peer of people like Qui-Gon Jinn, Rahm Kota, K'asim, etc. but Dooku is way above his paygrade. He's not beating someone who holds their own against Yoda and Windu.

[@raphaelhanna8345]

can you do kyle katarn vs shaak ti

[@raphaelhanna8345]

can you please do kyle katarn vs tpm darth maul

[@zackthezabarak739]

Skorr vs the grand inquisitor: the impulsive servant of dooku vs the calculating servant of Vader. Skorr was skilled enough to challenge Quinlan Vos, survived two encounters with a tuk ata and the grand inquisitor Faced Vader , kanan , Ezra and Jocasta . He was superior to kanan and Ezra separated or together and similar to Darth Maul was defeated by arrogance instead of a lack of skill. He overpowered Jocasta ( though she was not exactly an expert duelist) and the second Vader started trying he curb stomped the inquisitor.

[@DanieleMulas-up7np]

While I approve using Tol Skorr in a matchup, the Grand Inquisitor is just a damn joke. Him facing Vader is meaningless if we're talking about a pre-prime Vader who was just toying. Kanan ALWAYS managed to get away and gave him a progressively harder time with each encounter. And counting Jocasta Nu is laughable due to her pitiful dueling skills. He's downright pathetic, it makes one wonder why the hell was he the Grand Inquisitor and not the much more powerful Trilla.

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

Tor Skorr is pretty much the EU version of Savage. It would be about time to see him featured in a VS match. As for the GI, he's a pathetic joke.

[@darkarpatron]

10:44 I'm sorry, but Maul's side says that under "Force abilities:" he has Force Lightning. ... Um... what? Okay, either Maul's just simply never used it in his entire life in any form of media, or that magazine is wrong and he can't use Force Lightning. Just a small thing, but this left me scratching my head.

[@lapplandkun9273]

Yeah, probably a misprint or some writing error

[@ariesstorm9577]

Savage Opress vs ROTJ Luke Skywalker Both received "flash training" from various teachers without the traditional lengthy master-apprentice relationships common with both Sith and Jedi Orders.

[@kaitosevski3881]

Luke destroys. Savage's only real advantages against other force users are his strength and endurance. Luke has shown comparable or greater strength and endurance through his fights with Vader. On top of this, Luke is faster, more agile, smarter and more skilled. He takes this pretty easily

[@Rembanspellsong]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Oppress only have force training after his transformation by the night sisters? If so he did exceptionally well for someone who has relatively no training compared to his opponents, most of whom were training since they were small children in the use of the force. It also explains why his defenses seem to be lacking in that regard

[@blobfish_plays6548]

It is not possible

[@laetitiamushigo]

Marka win ? GM Luke vs Vitiate can be interesting.

[@CompositeCreativity]

roman Republic Not possible. There are ZERO known feats for either combatant when they were alive. The key word there being “alive”, as Marka Ragnos possessing someone as a spirit and fighting through them isn’t exactly an accurate gauge of his power. As for Tulak Hord, all that’s said about him is that he was a great warrior. But, such praise of the character’s abilities is meaningless when there aren’t any feats that back this point up.

[@robgeorge4581]

​@GENERALKENOBI2 I agree. Mainly because Vitiate is a shit swordsman. Valk vs ROTS Sidious in a pure force ability duel is a more balanced and interesting contest (to me).

[@unbelievablytrash9458]

"This fart's gonna be silent" 32:46 "...Shit."

[@JXZX1]

Let’s put it this way: At best, Savage would have been a mid-boss in Jedi Academy. Not an easy fight, but not something to write home about either.

[@wolfgod6443]

Now let's be fair, Savage would wipe the floor with Alora.

[@JXZX1]

Wolfgod 64 And Rosh, really. Still, Savage is no Rancor or Boba Fett.

[@dtxspeaks268]

Alora vs Asajj Ventress or Rosh vs Jar Jar Binks would be more appropriate

[@ArikGST]

Super Headcanon but: I always felt that Savage was most likely not using Force Based Physical Augmentation, and instead his magically enhanced baseline was enough to match Council Master Level force users like Ventress, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Maul and Adi Gallia. Imagine if he could stack Force Based Physical Augmentation on top of that....

How about a mix of both ?

[@katiedelaney2390]

Palpatine > Krayt

[@tiredjediknight3110]

GM Luke would defeat either Krayt or Sidious and Sidious would defeat Krayt.

[@colesmith4572]

I never leave comments on videos (see the embarrassing profile name from middle school), I can't stay silent. While I agree with your verdict and generally enjoy your content, I'm seeing a trend that worries me. You knew when you picked this match-up that Jaden would win. You make as much clear throughout the video that you don't see Savage as a match for him. It'd make more sense if you stated that the match was one requested by fans. Instead, it looks like you picked it to fill an episode. I'd also like to point out that in the same video in which you admit to having a negative bias against Savage you proceed to dump on him at any given opportunity. Your snide little comments throughout the video stating your clear belief that this fight shouldn't even be taking place. It'd be one thing if the video was some form of visualization of the fight, providing the viewer a visually entertaining match that is nonetheless one-sided. Your videos, however, are all about fight analysis. It does not make for an entertaining video (to me, at least) when your analysis video is biased and one-sided. You can claim all you want that you gave Savage a fair shake, but considering that his main advantage comes from size and power, it's awfully irritating that you proceed to reference Yoda saying that size doesn't matter. If size didn't matter then why bring it up? In some rare instances, it matters, but it doesn't in most. And since it's Savage's only real bragging point, it's clear that the fight was never a question. Having said all of that, I still enjoy your videos. I just don't like clicking into an hour long video where the outcome is clear ten minutes in.

[@jannegrey]

He also mocked 15 year old Jaden to be able to do what he did in Jedi Academy. Also Savage isn't really that strong of a force wielder. That being said I agree with you on one thing. Several times Evan has done this kind of matches, when you look at the title and you know the victor.

[@lapplandkun9273]

unfortunately, visualizations and a mock up play of the fight costs time and money if animators are up for hire. Something I doubt evannova or any other versus content creator would want to spend on. They aren't big KZbinrs and KZbin isn't their job. They don't receive money from making these videos and the star wars versus series is at best a small fanbase that wouldn't garner attention. If you want it badly, the best you could do is just imagine the fight between them. I'm not saying I hate it or don't want it. I do, but animations of these would take time and money.

[@jannegrey]

@@lapplandkun9273 Of course they would. But that's why you don't pick vs. fights in which the winner is obvious. And yeah he was very impressed about 14-15 years old Jaden defeating Marka Ragnos. But both in this and especially in other videos on Jaden he did downplay it - because let's be honest it Was Marka Ragnos Ghost that was not even at full power. As much as I love Jaden, he wouldn't stand a chance against full power Sith Lord of ancient times.

[@Priceluked]

Without finishing, I'd say prime Jaden who defeated and battled multiple dark jedi at once, could defeat Savage.

[@Daldi564]

You should do Jaden More Vs Starkiller

[@williamhenning4700]

Starkiller would win that.

[@MarkLeel]

I'm not sure. Starkillers probably has more force power but Jaden has defeated opponents with starkillers level of power.

[@williamhenning4700]

@Mark Leel I mean, Mother and Tavion possessed Ragnos's power are unknown. Even if the likes of Mother were as powerful as Starkiller, Jaden only managed to defeat her via indirect means.

[@MarkLeel]

William Henning another thing Jaden has in his favour is he's more experienced dualist & more varied force user. Starkiller had great raw power but not great knowledge.

[@williamhenning4700]

@@MarkLeel Not according to the Star Wars encyclopedia. "Under Vader's relentless tutelage, the Apprentice all but perfected the fine art of lightsaber combat and learned to wield many fearsome dark side powers. " - The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.
