Versus Strikezone: Exal Kressh Vs. Asajj Ventress (The Disposable Apprentices)

[@SpaceMonke99]

The 'short' form of video is getting longer than Jen's OG full length videos. My sleep hours were dwindling before and now this...

[@crazyscotsman9327]

Very good battle. Kresh is very impressive with her lightning, and if it wasn't for the Emperor I think she would have been able to be on the top tier of the Dark Council.

[@LokiTheClever]

Well bare in mind she probably gets an amp from not only having a portion of vitiate inside her mind but he personally trained her like imagine having his force potential and getting serious training from Plagleuis or Sidious

[@ariesstorm9577]

I am currently writing the bios for a three way match up between Darth Maul, Asajj Ventress, and Galen Marek: the orphaned assassins of the Sith. While writing about Ventress’ lightsaber it got me thinking: where did she get the blue crystal from for her Jedi weapon? Because I doubt there were crystal deposits on Rattatak, that left me with only two possibilities. One was that her lightsaber was in fact a spare weapon that belonged to Ky Narec that he passed onto Ventress as part of her Jedi training; thus making Ky Narec at least an occasional user of Jar’Kai. The other possibility is that she made the crystal herself, pouring the Force and her sense of bringing the warlords of Rattatak to justice that resulted in her shining blue blade. What do you guys think? How did Ventress get her blue lightsaber? And yes, I’m afraid I am using Maul and Ventress from before TCW retconned their stories.

[@KumaoftheForest]

How’s that going?

[@samuelstepp2890]

Great video as always. Here are some suggestions for future versus match-ups: Jaina Solo vs Count Dooku (Legends only) Darth Krayt vs Mace Windu (Legends only) Asajj Venress vs Darth Maul (Legends only) Lucien Draay vs Anakin Skywalker (Legends only

[@wristofkings]

Good match, I'd like to see that one. Krayt, narrowly. Maul, handily. Anakin sweeps.

[@samuelstepp2890]

What do you think of Jaina v Dooku?

[@alexalexalex92]

REALLY want to see this, I think Jaina ultimately gets him Anakin-style but only barely. Krayt, moderately but in a really fascinating fight. Maul, but on the back of physical endurance. Skywalker. I like what you're going for, but Anakin's on a totally different level.

[@williamhenning4700]

Either way. Krayt. Maul. Anakin.

[@samuelstepp2890]

I agree. I think Jaina v Dooku is probably the most interesting. Jaina's stats are basically Anakin light, but with greater self control and arguably more intelligent. I think Draay's best chance is to beat Anakin quickly. By this I mean in the first exchange 7 Samurai style. Although I admit this is unlikely. I think another interesting match would be Jaina vs Anakin. It would be an interesting version of brain vs brawn.

[@amugamirhykin9799]

No harm in putting out more videos, we'd all prefer it to be honest!

[@ariesstorm9577]

Random Theory: Could the Duel on Yavin IV between Anakin and Asajj been a contributing factor in the reawakening of Exar Kun's dormant spirit? More specifically the moment when Anakin gives into his rage and Djem So's her arse?

[@xxedgy_outsiderxx9978]

that would be awesome

[@thatonenerdwhoreadsbyhimse5429]

That is actually quite plausible, interesting theory.

[@robgeorge4581]

[@Blueballthornton]

What do you think about this? The Broken Berserkers Darth Maul vs. Sora Bolq I find it weird that you haven’t used Darth Maul in a while considering that he’s a character that’s right up your alley. For his comeback video, I think he would make an excellent match for Sora Bolq. I think it would be interesting taking two masters of form 7 and seeing who’s application is better. Maul’s focus or Bolq’s savagery.

[@wristofkings]

Assuming you mean TPM Maul, he takes it over Bulq. They're about equal as duelists from a skill standpoint when both are amped by rage, but Maul is a much smarter fighter with greater physicality and power in the Force.

[@robgeorge4581]

+wristofkings Disagree on the skill level. As a lightsaber instructer who co-created Vaapad, I see Bulq as a better duelist. But, otherwise I agree on TPM Maul taking this.

[@benerdick_cumberbiatch]

I think Bulq wins. Maul doesn't use his force abilities often enough. And I doubt he's much more skilled in that area to even make a difference. And Bulq is skilled enough to defeat him.

[@SGK1206]

Maul

[@kiadisandwich1836]

TPM Maul is both the more skilled fighter, and the more masterful Force wielder. He wins, in my opinion.

[@orphanedhanyou]

John Smith but Clone Wars was created by Lucas and Filloni before Disney...much of the show including getting to see Ventress in action was enjoyable and added world building. Why treat it like Lucas had nothing to do with it?

[@darth368]

orphanedhanyou because he didn't he was working on a movie called red tails at the time and because it was Dave philoni who messed up SW mythos w that BS of a show

[@darth368]

[@ironinquisitor3656]

+orphanedhanyou If you watch the TCW DVD features they make it clear that George Lucas was just a creative consultant for the show just like he was with the EU. They also make it clear he did not direct a single episode of the show either.

[@lyconxero457]

Since you're on this Ventress trip, how about pairing her up against Starkiller from The Force Unleashed 2? You could put her up against Galen Marek as well, I guess, but I think the Starkiller matchup might be more entertaining.

[@KumaoftheForest]

[@josephrousell2818]

Kasim.

[@Feenix102]

Tustle of the Totty, perhaps? :o) I love both these characters - a lot of people find Asajj boring, but shes a tip of the iceberg character to me, mysterious, sinister, sexy but not in an obvious way, theres a lot going on inside her, I think. And the book she was in with Quinlan Voss? Ive listened to a bit of it on audiobook and I thought it took most of what I liked out of the character, which is a shame. Exal Kresh I only really know about from watching videos like this one, and shes a very cool, quite sympathetic character I think - bit of a lost soul. Anyway! Good stuff, man.

[@jackmurphy1783]

I have a suggestion, Galen Marek vs Asajj Ventress: the betrayed assassins

[@teleportaat]

Jack Murphy Galen.

[@SoftisNelaris]

Yep, Galen isn't nearly as unstable of Kresh, more capable in martial arts, and has even more force techniques at his disposal. It's only a question of how close Galen's victory would be.

[@jacobt1027]

Softis Neleris Galen Would wreck ventress easily.

[@tiredjediknight3110]

[@alexalexalex92]

VERY happy to see this fight come to fruition. It's great to see Exal again given the respect she deserves, even if she doesn't end up coming out on top, which I can't disagree with even though I prefer Exal as a character. I could actually see these two maybe getting along, in a strange way--I feel as if they'd respect each other's crazy, in a way few others do. Some other suggestions for you: Darth Vader v. Quinlan Vos, Tholme and T'ra Saa (Dark Times/Clone Wars) Agen Kolar v. Darth Wredd Ulic Qel-Droma (Force) v. Darth Malgus Senya Tirall v. Darth Maul, unarmed martial arts only Exar Kun v. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Saesee Tiin and Adi Gallia Lomi Plo v. An'ya Kuro (just 'cause weird Force shit) And as always... Darth Vectivus v. Master Faye

[@kiadisandwich1836]

Evan Vader smashes. Kolar. Not sure. Maul. C’mon now. Obi solos. Not sure. Once again, not sure.

[@robgeorge4581]

+Evan Vader proceeds to terminate but Tholme will somehow flee Kolar. Wredd is a dedicated Sith hunter, not a jedi hunter. Wredd's experience is massive, but I don't think his experience makes up the diff. What do you mean by force? As in Dark Lord Ulic? If so, Malgus. > physical and force strength. Like I said before, idk enough on Senya's exact unarmed skills. So for now, Maul idk if Kun can take 3 at once. But he could take Kenobi+Tiin or Kenobi+Adi or Tiin+Adi idk enough on Lomi Vectivus seduces Faye

[@alexalexalex92]

+Rob George Ulic as in before he's lost his Force connection. And...on the last one, wow. I'm alright with that. +Ki Adi Sandwich I actually do agree with you on Maul for once, I just want to see him unarmed.

@jensarraione Can you explain the tier system that you use to evaluate their skills please?

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

- 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, Plo Koon and Shaak 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, 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, RoTJ Luke, 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, Darth Wredd, Komari Vosa, Savage Opress, Teneb Kel, Kylo Ren. - 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. TL;DR Watch his Exar Kun vs Darth Maul Post-Mortem video, the first 3 minutes explain how the Fanalysis tier system works.

I think we should use the term "Pure Legends" because those disney pricks consider TCW as part of legends in general (even though that show contradicts many many things in the EU)

[@ironinquisitor3656]

Its weird that TCW is both Disney Canon and Legends. Before the Old Eu was tossed out Lucasfilm was going to resolve the contradictions but never got the chance. The way I see it with the show is that TCW didn't happen in the exact way the show depicted things or some of it was true and some of it was false. For example the Episode with Evan Piell did happen , but it was propaganda that he died. that way his death in Coruscant Nights could still work out. I don't know though, Maybe TCW should just be purged entirely from Legends.

[@robgeorge4581]

Time for thoughts. 1st, love this matchup and titlecard! I'm fine with this being an abridged breakdowns of Kreesh and Ventress btw. These 2 are extremely similar (in fighter type and thematic) with the main diff is Ventress's superior swordsmanship and Kressh's force abilities (mainly lightsaber destroying lightning). While Kreesh's rage does come off her skill in Juyo, I don't think she actually has skill in Juyo due to the technical demands and instead her Juyo like traits are due to her mental instability. In force abilities, I agree about Kreesh's active def and overall advantage, but I don't agree her force power being => to Ventress. Teneb Kell's force power is top tier knightish, while Ventress is council master level. No complaints about the verdict because my thoughts are the same. Ventress's dueling skill+ experience+her psyche being less unstable then Kressh. As for you tier breakdown, I very much disagree. For Kressh, I don't see her as a tier 3 duelist, due to her lack of development in skil. Her feats and accolades do not make me consider her tier 3 (like Jerec or Eeth Koth) and instead tier 4. As a force wielder, I again heavily disagree. While her knowledge base is extensive and her potential is great (vitiate did pick as apprentice), she didn't develop herself to that level, especially force power. Instead, I see Kressh (at peak) as a tier 2 force wielder in knowledge+skill, but tier 4-tier 3 in force power (nothing makes me thing her force power is comp to Jerec or Dooku). As for Ventress, I see all of her skills are tier 2.5. My tier 2.5 is basically a tier 2 light (top tier 3-low tier 2 or a blend of tier 2 and 3 characteristics). Physically, her strength is lacking but everything else I see as peak human (her endurance and overall resiliency is def peak human). As a duelist+force weilder, Ventress is a tier 2 held back by lack of development in power+skill (just like Galen Marek) making her a tier 2.5. While I do heavily disagree with your tier breakdown, everything thing else in this video I agree with and did greatly enjoy it. I love these strikezone videos a lot (usually for tier breakdown). Glad to see this matchup came out and looking forward to whats coming next!

[@DarthWill3]

Interestingly, in the _TCW_ comic _In Service of the Republic,_ Ventress killed a Jedi in the same way Teneb Kel killed Exal Kressh. See for yourself: readcomiconline.to/Comic/Star-Wars-The-Clone-Wars/Issue-7?id=71253 If anything, Ventress should be rated as a tier 2.5, both in Legends _and_ in Canon. She's stated in _Star Wars Fact File 116_ to be Darth Tyranus' most powerful student. _Star Wars Fact File 108_ clearly states that Mace Windu had to use all his skill to best Ventress. To me, she might not be the very best fighter, but she's _improving._ Just in case you ever wanna use Darth Maul for a Strikezone video, let me be clear about this: Maul should be somewhere between tier 2 to tier 1.5, partly because he had come close to beating Sidious in combat as a teenager, as confirmed in _The Dark Side Sourcebook._ Heck, he came a lot closer to defeating his former master than Mace Windu ever did. Any further info on that duel can be found in _Episode I Journal: Darth Maul_ and _The Wrath of Darth Maul._ Not only that, but his doppelganger was able to bring Vader to his knees after cutting loose. And _TCW_ Maul is _not_ an offensive dervish; Savage Opress is. Besides, after seeing Maul in action, I'd say he's nearly Sidious' equal in lightsaber combat. Meanwhile, wonderful job!

I concur with that. I put her on the level of Galen Marek at most. The saber-destroying lightning is a neat trick, but hardly a trump card against higher-level Force users with better defenses.

[@samukis272]

Sorry, but when you mention that Sith had a more resilient physiology, I think what you mean is "physique" or "anatomy". Phyiosology is how a body WORKS not how it is BUILT. I'd be intrigued, though, in a comparison between the two species, if your time allows. Maybe they do have different phyiologies, after all.

I only disagree with the verdict because of Kress approach to combat being dun moch and brutal force lashing. Ventress is a fine duelist sure but we have to stop perpetuating the myth that she's a combat genius. She is repeatedly caught off guard by force powers by jedi even like bariss offee. I don't buy that a full fledged sith lord regardless of sanity wouldn't overpower her. Ventress is no mastermind, she can't bank on a saber duel to win this

[@knallekalle9920]

Who are Tier 1 in the Star Wars saga?

[@williamhenning4700]

The most powerful characters are Luke and Sidious. There's a gap between them and the next most powerful combatants after that.

[@charliewenger7682]

Luke, Sidious, Yoda, Valkorion, mace windu

[@williamhenning4700]

Well, Yoda is

[@knallekalle9920]

Reborn Sidious and Grand Master Luke? What about tier 2?

[@williamhenning4700]

T1 Reborn Sidious/GM Luke. T2 Darth Plaguies/Darth Krayt/Vitiate/Yoda/Caedus.

[@patmiller2588]

exal kressh vs darth zannah

[@wristofkings]

Zannah wrecks. Exal's broken sanity is a perfect target for her sorcery and her saber isn't getting past Zannah's defense. About the only thing Exal can do is break her saberstaff with lightning and she probably won't get that far before Zannah reduces her cognitive functions to paste.

[@patmiller2588]

wristofkings I really think she’s underrated this makes her Second video almost top-notch force powers But she can’t win very underrated

[@robgeorge4581]

+wristofkings My thoughts are the same. Zannah by mind rape unless Kressh opens with lightning and goes straight for kill.

[@marcostargaryen4181]

what about ahsoka tano ( rebels ) vs darth maul

[@jakealter5504]

marcos targaryen which version of maul? I’m asking because Ashoka was able to hold her own with strong opponents (which might actually include maul since they clashed in the Ashoka novel) like ventress and grevious during the clone wars without any severe or permanent injuries

[@marcostargaryen4181]

Jake Alter the episode 1 version

[@williamhenning4700]

You shouldn't mix canon and Legends tbh. Not that Jen would cover something from new canon since he hates it ( who can blame him? ).

[@jakealter5504]

marcos targaryen I’d say Ashoka since she did survive a duel with Vader

[@williamhenning4700]

But remember this is Canon Vader who's far weaker then Legends Vader by scaling if not by feats.

[@TinyTorah]

I've noticed in your videos that I can tell who you're gonna pick as the winner within the first 5-10 minutes. I think that means you let your bias slip through a bit too much.

[@williamhenning4700]

Ventress beats Kressh.

[@Spiderfanatic3]

Subversion tactics? What is she Rian Johnson?

[@redjirachi1]

George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney because it would allow him to deflect fanboy rage from the prequels, the real disappointment of the Star Wars series

[@kiadisandwich1836]

Asajj Ventress is one of those characters that has a staggering amount of untapped potential. If she had been trained as a fully-fledged Sith Lord, she would’ve stood head and shoulders above the majority of characters in the mythos. However, even without complete training, Ventress is still a very formidable opponent. And while you argue that she has a vulnerability to strength oriented attack sequences, I actually disagree with this notion. In Dreadnaughts of Rendili, she was able to circumvent and overcome Anakin’s strength advantage, and even managed to strike him across the face. Although Anakin did proceed to overpower her later in that duel, that is not the result of a weakness on Ventress’s part, but more the result of the sheer power that Anakin unleashes whenever he is driven beyond his typical mental state. This was an interesting match-up. While I disagree that Exal can one-shot Ventress, I will not deny that she has a greater wealth of powers at her disposal. Despite having a larger pallet of powers, I do not believe that she holds an advantage against Ventress as a combative Force wielder. Ventress has the ‘I-cannot-lose’ mentality, and much like, say, Darth Maul, she can pull feats out of the bag that are absolutely extraordinary. For example, when Master Faye mentally dominated Ventress, it was noted that Ventress was close to crushing Faye’s heart. Additionally, this feat was performed by Ventress when she was most certainly in the worst possible physical state. If Ventress pulled something like this off against Kressh, there is no hope for the Sith. Anyway, I have a Vs. suggestion for you: Darth Malgus Vs. Darth Traya.

[@SGK1206]

Malgus stomps Traya

[@robgeorge4581]

+Tactical Sharkz My thoughts are the same. However, Traya's tactics does give her a really good shot of pulling it off so this isn't a stomp.

[@alexalexalex92]

+Rob George More like Traya tries to play a game of chess, and Malgus hacks the chessboard apart.

[@robgeorge4581]

+Evan Sounds about right.

[@patmiller2588]

I think the verdict is wrong

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

Why ?

[@umor9014]

at least Exal has better excuse for her descent into madness than Bulq and even at her worst she would still fry him, I am voting a 50/50 split against Ventress
