[@RehnanCT-]

Could be wrong but here’s my theory on chrosshairs number Due to him and the rest of the batch being purposely experimental ( much like the Nulls ) perhaps the awiha bait either didn’t think they’d survive and thus if they didn’t they could simply cover it up like they did with the batch of clones with less than 20/20 vision Or clone force 99 weren’t born with their mutations but were later unwillingly selected for an experimental program when they were young and thus while mutants were born as CTs

I think Sev is a more well rounded soldier who can handle more varied situations without his squad, whereas Crosshair is definitely built to be the sniper. Not saying he can't operate on his own, but I think in most situations CQC where he doesn't have his squad for assist, Sev would fuck him up. It's like a jack of all trades thing, sev may be best at sniping, but it isn't his gimic. As for crosshair he definitely operates less effectively when he doesn't have a good distance on his opponents. Especially without his squad because they balance each other out.

[@fidgetthescout9142]

I'd make the argument that Crosshair only comes off as less well rounded due to how much better he is at sniping than anything else. They'd have the same training, so that rules that out as a defining factor in all around skill, but Sev could get the edge in the well rounded department due to how much more often he utilizes those skills, at which point it comes down to whether or not Crosshair's better marksman skills match up to that, and, counting his ability to use mirrors and ricochet's on the fly in close quarters, it might be enough.

That's why most jedi go with the unit's commander (Cody, Bacara, Ponds, Gree, and so on), but they can chose whoever they like, hence Rex being Anakin's liaison. I don't think he officially outranks everyone, more like they know who he is and wouldn't really question him assuming command.

@@lonelystrategos they really should have left Appo as the commander of the 501st, because even though Rex is cool and all he’s just a Captain, a legion is led by a senior commander (which was Appo’s rank). As for why Rex was seen as Anakin’s second in command, he was the captain of torrent company, which appeared to be the unit Anakin took into battle with him the most. It would have been cool to see how Rex and Appo interacted during Umbara if Appo was still a commander.

[@kingcobra9726]

@@1rbdt how I always thought Rex worked was that he was the captain of torrent company, a company in the 501st, and this was the unit Anakin led into most battles with him, while Appo was still the senior commander of the 501st and was Anakin’s official second-in-command. A similar situation can be seen with Cody, he was the Marshal commander of the 7th sky corps, but he led the 212th attack battalion (a battalion in the 7th sky corps) in most battles he was involved in.

[@1rbdt]

@@kingcobra9726 The only problem I have with that theory is Alpha 17's training program. Among the clones we know for sure participated, Rex and Appo are the only non-commander clones present and they didn't get promoted after passing. Commanders have different ranks themselves so his connection to Anakin is the only way I can explain Rex acting as a senior clone commander despite being a captain. This could be handwaved by a simple line mentioning other 501st commanders but as it stands, Rex was the highest ranking clone in the whole legion before the battle for Mandalore.

[@clonescope2433]

Sev may have a higher kill count but he was also alive before Crosshair and we haven't seen Crosshair in action except for in season 7 and the bad batch so we've only seen a very narrow window of a skill. But both are probably some of the best if not the best snipers in the GAR.

i think its important to mention that, while sev and crosshair were both the best of the best in terms of sharpshooting, sev was on a next level in many other things too. in the game, hes seen wrestling and winning against geonosians and trandoshans with a scary amount of efficiency. sev was also the team medic as far as i remember, and of course, his rifle was a lot more versatile in the general direction of what a rifle can do (sharpshooting, heavy armory, high fire rate) while crosshair just has a lot of different sniper specific calibrations. if its just about being the best sniper, crosshair might get more accurate shots, but in a general fight, sev just has too much utility that he can go back on while crosshair just... doesnt have much going for him beyond being accurate

[@clankers8929]

As an *ardent* Crosshair fan but also being a pragmatist, I believe you are correct.

In my opinion Crosshair is the better sniper however Sev is the better soldier, since he can have a more flexible role (sniper, hand to hand combat, different types of weaponry etc). Even though Sev sounds more psychopathic he also as more loyalty to his squadmates than Crosshair (in my opnion) you can see that Crosshair even before order 66 had small arguments with Hunters decisions while Sev never questioned Boss orders. So while I do think Crosshair would win in a sniper fight I would trust Sev far more as a squad member thanks to his flexible roles and better equipment for missions

[@robertoorrego4374]

To be fair. Crosshair not only has a longer gun, but also uses a deeper scope AND uses a rangefinder. Sev lacks these advantages so I'd like to see crosshair try and use the actual commando sniper and put his rangefinder away.

[@gayfarace-mann4244]

Hi. I like Crosshair better. Thank you for coming up with this.

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

I like both crosshair and sev.

[@firstofficersleek9722]

Do you know anything about Trace, the sniper from Metroid Hunters? I wonder how he would compare with the Clone snipers.

[@marcodenetto3850]

I just remembered that Delta Squad is still canon

[@maxislate5741]

They appeared in clone wars all 4 of them so yea

[@BanishedSilentShadow3318]

Plus we did see scorch again in the last episode we had

[@RM-jq5vi]

hmm i havent really watched it but i mean i feel like they shouldnt be, since crosshair was modified even more than commandos were. yes many commando snipers were trained by mandalorians but in sniping i dont know how much better that is than normal training. helps in combat scenarios but in purely sniping not necessarily. idk. plus sev is a step above even commando snipers. i dont even think Fi is anywhere near either sev or crosshair, let alone non main character snipers. idk. also, i wouldnt call either some of the best in galactic history. not by a long shot. theyre clone snipers, theyre technically genetically engineered to be better than humans but still other species are better. they had at most 10 years of training, but actually much less since time being an infant, time spent learning non sniping things. a clone sniper, even one trained by mandalorians cannot stand up to a mandalorian sniper or other elite warrior races that trained for decades. sorry commando stans.

[@TheLastKentuckyIrregular9524]

Commandos weren't exactly altered. They were specially trained and allowed far greater independence, with the Kaminoans tailoring their genetics towards teamwork and creativity.

[@RM-jq5vi]

@@TheLastKentuckyIrregular9524 well i mean since all clones were altered to some degree with decreased reaction times, improved stamina, improved vision. i guess its not really modifications but it was definitely foriegn intervention to make them better soldiers.

[@snowcodyrifel7356]

Crosshair is the civilized toothpick man who just deals business heads, multiple for the price of one shot. Sev was the bug exterminator which lol Geonosians were told to behave themselves. He probably gave Trandos the spooks as well.

[@animationcorner4425]

They did say that Sev was the best sniper in the GAR. Just putting that out there.

[@sashabraus9422]

Sev probably has more kills just because he was fighting organics a lot more

[@just_a_guy_who_likes_dogs]

what about droids

[@ravenks1sr15]

inb4 biased but Sev by far. After all, Sev was the best overall shooter in the GAR and still would schwack Crosshair.

[@jeremypintsize7606]

Somme facts about sniper IRL 3,540 m is the longest confirmed sniper kill - occured in 2017 - The most sucessfull sniper had 505 confirmed sniper kills the number of probable is 542. And with a Mosin Nagant with iron sigths not a dedicated sniper rifle with scope. And it coud had also 200 non sniper kills more than 700 in 3 months and 12 days.

[@christopherhanton6611]

good video hard to say who was better sev or crosshair

[@Zoroark_Master]

Except when you have nostalgia.

[@masonmartin7822]

Next you should do hunter vs boss that would be awsome

[@mammyaondiciple3570]

Now imagine if blaster bolts actually ricocheted in star wars or was able to impact more than one target before expending its energy. (Another reason I consider legends supperior to Disney)

[@abdalsamadbabar3627]

So crosshair is basically A boomer version of Sev in canon

[@3.14eater4]

In old cannon Sev was the most decorated sniper the Republic had to offer. Also note how dark both sev and crosshair are, Snipers must take the war personal asf...SPOILER..... R.I.P. 07

[@communistpotato3204]

Though, we don't truly know if he is dead

[@3.14eater4]

@@communistpotato3204 thats true

[@clankers8929]

We gotta love our *gray* characters

[@marcelozerbini5411]

I feel the Bad Batch occupies the same mythological niche of the Commandos. Both teams are made of four soldiers, with a particular connection (RC were created in the same pod, and the bad Batch are connected by their defects). Both teams are SpecOps, so are used in similar situations Etc. When I first heard of the Bad Batch I was irritated because I felt exactly that: the bad Batch was going to be used for the same adventures the RC would be used

[@LairdErnst]

Crosshair may not be as bloodthirsty as Sev, but I don’t see Sev betraying Delta Squad if he ever had his inhibitor chip removed before receiving Order 66, and I see him leaving the empire to find his squad if they ever deserted and he was left behind. No military means he can kill as many enemies as he wants. Also, he values his brothers more than his place in the new order. i.e. We need a Republic Commando sequel to resolve Sev’s fate. At least have the Bad Batch meet Delta Squad. ANYTHING!!!

[@beatricerobidoux9585]

Crosshair wins because he has the power of maths

[@ronjon7942]

I bet Crosshair played a mean game of billiards.

[@realtalk4real243]

Sev has more experience and better armor. But crosshair is probably more accurate

[@amanzeihedioha]

Yes. Jaing told me so.

[@liamchamberlain2004]

I agree with your analysis but there isn't a character I like more. I like them equally. They're both great characters

[@masonmartin7822]

I choose sev he is brutal and Ruthless in combat he'd definitely bear crosshair in hand to hand but crosshair can definitely hold his own at long rang but ultimately sev would take it

[@noneoftheabove4302]

As much as I can see the logic behind Sev vs Hunter in some of your comments. Sev is ultimately the better sniper if we are considering which has better sync with their squad (Delta Squad vs Clone Force 99); it will ultimately come down to the best team, and that will ultimately go to Delta Squad. Only so much a sniper can do till the enemy knows where you are, and goes at you guns blazing you can see this as when Hunter was getting closed in by a jedi padawan Caleb which indicates he's not very good at close distance which Sev is extremely lethal in all manners of marksmanship, and I'm sure Sev knows that, and will close the distance to finish Hunter off, but again I'm basing this off the fact Sev is much more well rounded and skilled in many areas where Hunter simply is not. Sev vs Hunter skill in sniping is iffy because we have only seen Hunters marksmanship to heights we didn't see Sev's as much except in game which doesn't do him enough justice as it did Hunter. I say it's a little bias to say Hunter is the better sniper when we haven't seen Sev's skills to the fullest, but we've only heard stories of his work. I don't completely agree as this is very bias accusation of Sev skills. Till we actually see more of Sev or the dev gives us a confirmation that Sev or Hunter is better I would just stick to comparing the teams of each that way it's accurate assumption. And if we do go that route comparing both teams Delta Squad wins hands down due to better armor, better guns, each are taller and more durable than bad batch, each member are as smart as Tech, each member has better tech, and each are as strong as wrecker.

[@popejpv]

Idk it’s canon now that crosshair can’t consistently hit a target ten yards away

[@captaincole4511]

But he can hit a ship like a mile away on it’s engine traveling at hundreds of mph

[@popejpv]

@@captaincole4511 maybe target size is a thing

[@void335]

He cant hit the bad batch cuz plot armor

[@brockwiese9205]

Uhhh all clone commandos were genetically enhanced and superior to regs….so to say it was normal man vs. Superman is incorrect

[@historycal51]

I think crosshair was a better sniper but overall sev was better and delta squad vs bad batch I think delta squad is better

[@janetf5523]

In episode 14, War Mantle, it is made clear that the Bad Batch are CTs not CCs.

[@phoenixx913]

Considering that in the video game Sev saw a ship at the edge of the system... in hyperspace I'm inclined to believe that he has far better eyesight then Crosshair.
