      I lost brain cells at a Cal Kestis vs Dooku short when they literally gave Cal the advantage in IQ and in some categories. Even in Disney Canon dumbing down and watering down most of the Jedi and Sith, Dooku is literally one of the strongest force wielders. I like Cal but these shorts are a blight upon YT community.

      imagine both empires clash (Ge vs 1 sith leigon) I guarantee that the 1 sith would steamroll with thousands of darksiders force crushing and riping storm troopers to shreds at extreme speed and Darth Wyyrlok illusions would make the empire destroy itself fast. Darth Vader might get a few dozen sith killed them he'd be immobilized by 1000 force chokes all together.

    Just as another point to Sidious' physical strength, one kick to Savage Oppress was enough to stun Oppress, whereas Obi-Wan in his physical prime needed several kicks just to stagger Oppress.

    • @quangtrungbui675
      @quangtrungbui675 Před 2 měsíci +5

      I don't think that's purely strength. Yes, better technique executed at quick speed leads to much more force, but it is about where you strike. I don't remember how and where Sidious land his kick, but I remember the one Kenobi did. He kicks on Savage's knee from outside in, making his knee cave in and he lost balance, which Kenobi then dashed out and cut forearm. In Muay Thai and Karate (one I learnt), that strike can literally get your knee joint dislocated and even worse, your ligaments ruptured. The previous strikes may not have stroke Savage's knee at the right angle, or he just kicks to build up that torque for the decisive one. Personally, I lean to the former, Kenobi kicks, but first he does not land a powerful stomp like the one you mentioned, and second he hits more directly on Savage's knee cap, not hitting his side.

    In the potential case of a Q@A I present some questions here
    1: Call me an old man but I remember hearing the discussion of Krayt beating Sidious way back when during the Council Forcecast podcast episode titled “Darth Sidious is not invincible” How has your opinion of these two Sith evolved since that first discussion
    2: What is your process for formatting your video scripts and what is your process for researching the powers of each character?
    3: Looking back on all of Versus Series Season 7 as a whole. What matchup would you say you are most proud of and what character breakdown are you most proud of? (both can be separate)
    4: What wisdom would you provide to any fledgling Versus Series creators who want to follow in your footsteps in making these videos?

    Saying Krayt has better lightning just because Luke elected to dodge a possible lightning attack from him is a bit of a stretch considering the monolithic laundry list of feats attributed to how powerful Sidious' lightning is in comparison to his own. Flash-frying targets to skeletons, having to attain a level of mastery of the power as a prerequisite to learning how to conjure a Force Storm-it'd be more likely that Krayt is comparable to Palpatine in this regard, but putting it above Palpatine's on the basis of Luke wanting to dodge a *possible* lightning attack headed his way from Krayt...that's a bit much.

    • @bigwsly
      @bigwsly Před 2 měsíci +8

      Wait did he say that? I thought he said the difference between krayt and sidious lightning wasn’t as large as people may think meaning he stil has palps above
      Tbf Luke not wanting to get hit by an attack and moving is still crazy if it’s used as proof like mmost people tend to avoid things being aimed at them

      I think the difference comes in when comparing when he dodged the lightning attack; Jedi Knight Luke who actually begins to be as and even start to surpass his father while Grand Master Luke has surpassed his father and is the strongest Jedi.

  • @lordvader9155
    @lordvader9155 Před 2 měsíci +22

    Good video but I disagree with the conclusion; Sidious gave too little praise and Krayt too much.
    Scaling to Luke isn’t really viable because they never fought, not at all, Luke considered dodging his lightning because both of them were definitely exhausted from fighting a god-tier entity. The throne of balance is just another chosen-one-esque style thing, where instead of Anakin being the one to stop Sidious, it’s Luke stopping Krayt. Doesn’t mean they are equal in power.
    Sidious buries an entire SSD with the force, mind wipes thousands of people, weakens DE Luke with mental attacks alone. How is this not mentioned more, clearly Sidious has the TK advantage, and he could probably affect Krayt to SOME degree with his mental abilities.
    Sure DE luke outdueled Sidious, but as we know Sidious losing the saber combat doesn’t mean he’s lost the fight, he bested Yoda with the force and most likely could have overwhelmed Mace. He almost BENT the saber back into Mace’s body, stopped, pretended to be weak and then OBLITERATED Mace with the lightning right after. Palpatine takes the edge in lightning for sure, regardless of how many of Krayt’s minions have X feats with lightning; none of them can compare to this really.
    Krayt’s dueling feats are overhyped, he never fought anyone of Yoda or Mace’s caliber, true Sidious may have lost to them, but he still damn well. DE Sidious is not ROTS sidious, but he’s surely improved his skills in the force and lightsaber combat; Vader never dared to challenge his master for a reason - even if OT Sidious hardly has any saber feats. So pre-prime Sidious is able to compete with Mace and Yoda, completely destroying Talzin in a saber duel when she was shown being able to hold off Mace briefly, but loses martial skill to Krayt? When Krayt has NO showings besides destroying multiple council members - who don’t have many feats themselves. Even if Palpatine “stunned” some of the council members they still got dispatched quickly, with Yoda and Mace being the only real matchups.
    The force storm not being utilized in direct combat makes sense, but also doesn’t. Yes, Sheev got cut off from the storm, so it destroyed him. But if he wasn't cut off it would have never destroyed him, we see him make multiple, with one of them TELEPORTING organic matter from one side of the galaxy to the next. Realistically if hes able to pop even a lesser one off as a ditch attempt; Krayt is obliterated.
    Extra: Sidious isn’t that physically weak, he takes a kick from Savage, who is a literal tank shown to body Dooku around multiple times.
    Extra PT 2: bold of you to assume Krayt would even get close enough to Sidious to utilize dark transfer, and it requires a lot of power.
    I feel that overall while Krayt is an excellent duelist, Sidious is simply better due to who he’s fought - he’s also not that physically superior to Sidious overwhelmingly - Sidious is definitely faster (once again due to who he has fought). Krayt is inferior in the force in RAW Power, and overall mastery. Sidious has too many feats to lose in a fight, even if he may fail to have a higher mastery at dueling, he cooks Krayt with the force in the end.

    Congratulations on completing Season 7 of you Versus Series. The season that took half a decade and literally predates Disney+ for fuck sake.
    This was quite an incredible season of Star Wars Versus Series. I had massive disagreements a lot of the time (especially in this video), but also saw my opinions and views of so many characters and fights change dramatically. I learned way more about my third favourite franchise thanks to this season, I was motivated to read LOTF and FOTJ thanks to this season (which I read from December 2020 - November 2022 cause I’m that slow at reading, but they were both incredible experiences), and my overall connection to Legends Star Wars was enhanced dramatically by these 11 matchups.
    Here’s to a great Season 8 (and at this point I don’t care if that season takes 10 years, cause with most of the versus series makers quitting in the past few years, I’d rather we keep this up for as long as possible), and may the force be with you Evan

    • @darylsdesigns6679
      @darylsdesigns6679 Před 2 měsíci +1

      An interesting matchup: Clash of the Dark Side Scholars. Even though both combatants were primarily Force duelists, Jerec gets the martial edge, though I doubt a fight between these two would be a lightsaber battle.
      In regards to raw Force power level, I’d say they’re comparable in strength. Ultimately, I think that Thanaton would ultimately win. His Force shields allows him to defend himself against Jerec’s Force Destruction and Thanaton’s lightning is more developed and stronger. As the head of the Sphere of Ancient Knowledge, Thanaton likely familiarized himself with mental techniques to defend against Jerec’s Force Suppression ability, thus keeping his basis covered.

      @robertgeorge4602 Před 2 měsíci

      Fun idea, both dark side scholars with force abilities being the deciding factor.
      In terms of power, Id give an edge to Thanaton. Jerec is comp to Dooku, Thanatos to Malgus. But Jerec is still powerful enough to contend quite well. But consume essence can make up the power difference if Thanatos does full dark side channeling.
      Jerec has outs to everything Thanaton throws at him. advanced sense abilities + battlemind handles telepathy, tutaminis handles lightning, solid tk barriers for tk. And then Jerec busts out force destruction which Thanatos has no idea how to deal with. His active force shield could guard against it, but im unsure how Thanaton would predict to that in the first place.
      Add on top of jerec's advantage as a swordsman, and I think Jerec has the odds to pull a win.

    @RockwellStrunk Před 2 měsíci +1

    Great video, Evan! Everything that I had expected and more!
    A couple of questions:
    1. Would you ever consider bringing in a more unorthodox character like Darth Nihlus, for example? If so, who would you consider pitting him against? If not, would you do a discussion video about the particulars of his power set and scaling?
    2. A follow-up, do you think that it is possible for ordinary force users to resist Nihlus’s drain abilities, or would it require an exceptionally powerful force user to resist? Or do you think that there is no one, with the exception of Meetra Surik, who can even stand up for long enough to kill him?
    3. I remember in season 6 that you did a huge team battle. Would that be something that you would consider doing again, or is that something that is not really under consideration?
    Also, I was going to ask about Palpatine and Krayt, but you seemingly could sense my intentions and curiosity on the subject. A true Jedi master.

    • @joroa7151
      @joroa7151 Před 2 měsíci

      Evan and his friends already said in the past why they don't make versus battles with Nihilus. He is the ultimate manifestation of feast or famine... both figuratively and metaphorically.
      He either one shots you and drains you, or he is overpowered or negated in the case of the exile. Basically a matchup entirely decided by power levels the first few minutes.

  • @ariesstorm9577
    @ariesstorm9577 Před 2 měsíci +1

    This was an amazing match up, and one I have wanted to see for years. I am happy with the outcome of the fight, both emperors gave it their all but in the end only one of them could walk away alive.
    I could not wait to get home from work and watch this on my tv.
    Given that Darth Sidious had several trophy lightsabers from Jedi he has killed and that we have seen him dual wield in TCW, how likely would it be to see him pick up a second lightsaber and use Jar’Kai against Darth Krayt’s own use of the style?

  • @adamtremblay9126
    @adamtremblay9126 Před 2 měsíci

    The two most powerful* Sith Lords of all time going at it? Heck yeah!
    Also, in case of a qna I have some questions.
    First a couple nonquestions:
    1. Thank you. And not just for this amazing content I've been watching perhaps an unhealthy amount of for the past three years or something like that. Watching ur vids has helped me significantly as a writer. I've been a decent writer before watching ur vids, but after watching ur vids for a while my writing has taken significant inspiration from creators like u and Jensaarai1. I've received quite some significant praise, including someone mentioning my letter of self-appraisal being the best he's basically ever seen. Its like I was talking to him directly... Almost like a video essay :). So basically watching ur vids has made reading and writing much more enjoyable for me, to the point were I really enjoy writing and Honors English is way easier than it perhaps should be. So, thank you for that.
    2. I still have yet to super deep dive into the lore so criticism is hard, but other comments r def right in questioning using the Abeloth vs Luke and Krayt fighting, an unarmed fight, to show lightsaber prowess. Yeah pls explain that lol.
    Now for actual questions:
    1. Do u still plan to feature Obiwan, or even various iterations of the character, next season? I really want to see ur updated opinion on Old Ben and still am hyped that u mentioned a potential mini-marathon with Kenobi. I'm also a bit confused on how much Kenobi (and Skywalker) grew in power during ROTS so I would love to hear that explained. Also, a couple potential opponents for Obiwan, maybe Lumiya or Anya Kuro?
    2. I'd like to hear ur thoughts on a few matchups I've thought of. (Also Ima go ahead and say I'm not a Kit Fisto fanatic, he's just who I thought of for good matchups lol)
    Kit Fisto vs Qui-gon Jinn: Fisto has a number of advantages like physicality and dueling skill, but I really think Qui-gon's dueling focus and Makachi technique r good foils to Fisto and Jinn narrowly wins.
    Kit Fisto vs. Darth Zannah: I can't fricking decide who wins this. Physicality clearly goes to Fisto but not by much, really his main advantage would be strength and durability which Zannah compensates for with her martial technique. Also stamina is hard to say cuz Fisto went thru a war so I would say him but style uses more energy so a bit hard to say who wins a war of attrition. Dueling is basically an impasse. Shi-cho is way too simple to pierce Zannah's defenses but her offense is so bad she can't really counter attack effectively. If Fisto goes hurricane mode he's more vulnerable but Zannah will be more occupied defending. I don't think this fight will end via superior swordsmenship. The force edge is also complicated. Tk is largely a non-factor. I don't think Zannah's spells of madness would work on base Fisto but hurricane mode Fisto.... It just might. Then again she will be super busy defending... I just can't decide who wins this. Both have ways of winning besides a war of attrition, Kit mainly thro physical attacks with Zannah low durability and Hannah with her spells if Fisto isn't careful. And if it is a war of attrition hard to say who wins that. I'm kinda stumped on victor. Thoughts?
    Koon and Fisto vs. Prime Malgus and Vindican: Yes Malgus wasn't in his prime with Vindican alive but imagine a hypothetical scenario. I won't go too deep into this but my question is does Malgus beat Koon first or Kit beat Vindican?
    Sharad Hett vs Nate Skywalker: Honestly might be better suited for Jensaarai since u have already covered these two a decent amount but still a battle of obscure characters I would like to see no matter who does it. Still I kinda feel like may be a bit to obvious in favor of Nate...idk.
    Also, just a couple combatants I hope to see in ur versus vids next season: Quinlan Vos and Anya Kuro.
    3. What would u say r the limits of Zannah's spells? Do u think anyone with a stable mind or battle meditation can resist, like even Tholme and Secura? Ur opinion does seem to be something like that unless it had changed, and I recently saw Rob Terra's vid on Zannah vs Marek and honestly I kinda like his opinion of Zannah's spells more. Do u think Zannah could destroy Marek with the spells? I'm convinced tbh.
    Again, awesome vid. Thanks for all u've contributed to the community.
    P.S. U know, speaking of community u mention the SW: Legends community often but is there a discord or something I don't know about where they r all gathered?

    Q&A Questions:
    1. Would you be interested in doing these following match ups?
    Darth Sidious vs Vitiate (Sith Emperors)
    Cin Drallig and Serra Keto vs Kao Cen Darach and Satele Shan (Battle Masters and acrobatic students)
    Darth Vader vs Revan (Former Jedi turned Sith)
    Mara Jade vs Galen Marek (Trained by the Sith)
    2. Who do you think is the most underrated Jedi and Sith in your opinion?
    3. Is it possible to do match ups of two characters who are the same but different versions of themselves (example: Anakin Skywalker vs Darth Vader)?

    41:09 Again Vastor does not scale to ROTS Anakin. The Anakin in that novel is literally ATOC anakin who gets utterly obliterated by his rots counterpart. That is like scaling a literal child to a full grown adult numerous sources state Anakin's ATOC power was vastly surpassed by Anakin a few months into the war to the point he is basically a completely different person. Kar Vastor does not scale to rots Anakin the difference is so vast its ridiculous
