, Luke was emotionally hindered (there's a quote which says so but I can't be bothered going to hunt for it seeing as I'm pretty sure you are aware of its existence) meaning you can't quantify how much power he was using and whether that power exceeded that of Sidious.

Actually, the novel depicts the exact opposite happening , since it’s specifically stated Luke “didn’t give him a chance to surrender” , which likely points to him going all-out against his nephew, at least during the duel. If you are referring to that quote of him not being in the best mental state, that was during the funeral of Mara Jade, it’s difficult to determine whether or not that continued later. But even then, Luke is vastly above Palpatine and Yoda in his natural state, and I don’t see him magically grow weaker than them with just a mental hindrance.

That doesn't preclude the notion of Luke being emotionally hindered, but in a vacuum perhaps you would have a point. But here is the quote in question:

Doesn't matter what emotions hindered what. It's stated on numerous occasions that they were equally skilled in the force and in lightsaber combat.

@Azronger Or I could just concede they're faulty. Still waiting on the blurbs though.

Half the comparison to Dooku still stands anyway though, as does the rest of the post.

So, despite knowing fully well the dubious grounds blurbs as a whole stand on per Chee, you're still using one that benefits your favorite character, and you're only willing to concede if presented with other blurbs you don't like? Talk about gerrymandering.

@DC77

1. Novel blurbs are n-canon. There is no objective evidence corroborating the idea that Vader is inferior to Caedus.

2. Firstly, I'm not really convinced Luke is a better duelist than RotS Sidious. Especially when he is emotionally compromised like he was in the Caedus duel. Instead of having a clear, focused mind he was dealing with the anger he felt towards Caedus and the dread of seeing his son being tortured. It's even noted that Luke's attitude towards the fight was "Good. This is supposed to hurt." He showed up to have a slugging match with Caedus, which is why instead of just killing him he tried to pinpoint his kidney and "disable him in the most painful way possible." Which obviously didn't work out because the wound only made Caedus stronger and faster, and allowed him to pivot and re-open an older wound of Luke's. To say Caedus did "better" than Maul is also retarded, because while Caedus lost to an emotionally clouded Luke in what amounted to a scrappy brawl which ended in a handful of strikes, Maul actually traded numerous blows with Sheev in a traditional lightsaber duel and, depending on which version you go with, even landed a kick on him. It's much easier to trade blows with someone at point blank in a messy brawl than it is to go blow-for-blow in an actual lightsaber duel with someone as fast and clinical as Sheev.

Every other feat and line of scaling you produced after this point in your post was either A. shite compared to what Maul, Dooku and Vader possess or B. doesn't even logically follow from its premise.

If you have one, I advise not quitting your day job.

That's the worst attempt to save face I've seen in a while. You very clearly treated a blurb as legitimate evidence in your argument. So what exactly is the joke here? That you were going to concede? That's the only thing I can think of. And if you're not going to concede, then have fun with Bane > Valkorion.

So, blurbs are faulty but they're legitimate evidence for Caedus > Vader?

Is there something I'm missing here?

Why is he more powerful than Dooku?
Scaling he gets from his MFV self and imo just has better showings of raw power

Pretty sure the old lady who lives down the road from me could beat Caedus at this point.

On another note, if blurbs are non-canon doesn't that invalidate a lot of the scaling we use, including Luke = Vader among others?

I call bullshit and beg to differ.

OT-Looking back at this thread hurts my soul, seeking the weak arguments shot down and me getting trampled by everybody. That being said... I stand by the fact that Jacen wins, though for entirely different reasons.

You're right. The old lady and her husband could beat Caedus at this point.

Idk what happened to you comment but it went something along the lines of "Seeing my old argument makes my head hurt, I vote Jacen but for different reasons." I would like to know those reasons and here your case for why Caedus beats Dooku
