Opress exemplifies Dooku’s saying that a master of the lightsaber dedicated to form and elegance might be defeated by a warrior who knows nothing of grace but everything about winning a fight

“What used to be a heated lightsaber duel turned into a non tactical brawl”

Personally I feel like K'kruhk trying to revive the clearly quite dead Oppo, while the more acclaimed healer A'sharad does not, is more of a character moment showing his difficulties with accepting death, than a sign of superior healing skill to A'sharad , although your interpretation is equally valid. Completely agree with the rest of the video, very well done.

And then K'kruhk goes into a deep healing trance, appearing dead, surviving with yet another near-death story under his belt to tell the younglings he teaches. Really man, dude has survived A LOT. ;-P This was an enjoyable matchup, it was cool and I liked your differing take on Opress, for variety's sake, compared to other matches I've seen featuring him. Nice logic and conclusions. Really starting to like Kkruhk through the versus videos I've seen him in.

Just tossing this out there but Darth Talon vs Kit Fisto would be a pretty interesting matchup

When I saw this pop up, I grinned like a kid on Christmas and I wasn't disappointed with the results. Also, I agree with the majority's opinion on Savage Oppress. He was nothing more but a disappointing character that was nothing more but to propaganda to Maul's return (which I have mixed feelings about) and could have been built up as a serious threat in the show and maybe they could have had him be something of a rival to Ahsoka similar to the way of the feud between Anakin and Ventress or Obi-Wan and Durge. Keep up the good work! Also, you did the same mistake that Jensaarai did in his Warb Null vs. K'Kruhk.... You forgot about K'Kruhk's hat in your assessment.

Wow..... that was unexpected and entirely amazing. Extraordinary editing and incredible analysis of both characters (which is saying a lot considering the fact that your editing and analysis' are always phenomenal, but this video manages to outdo your previous works). I'm convinced that this video will be the new VS series gold standard for many years to come. IMO; however, K'Kruhk wins by his hat alone- 11/10 times. But still, a very well produced video with a fantastic script.

Ahhhhhh its great to see GREY JEDI ONCE AGAIN. Its great to wake up to this voice.

Great video, i think this is the best analysis of Savages capabilities I've seen in any vs video. Going to have to check out rico and sci fi soup.

Especially well done and I agree with your presentation of Savage as well as the verdict.

Adi Gallia deserved better...

I agree 100% of what Rico already has said; great work dude. Your editing makes me want to strive to do better in my own It's a shame Savage Opress was such a flat and generic character, especially because we have to force ourselves to reconcile with the fact he could kill many of our favorite characters :/

Hey GJ91! I just wanted to say that you were one of my major inspirations for becoming a youtuber! I love Star Wars and I love lore! Ty for being awesome brother and May the Force be with you! :) SKÅL!

One of the best versus matchups I've ever watched! Fantastic work. 👍

I always forget how much I love your narration. There's just something about your voice that fits these video's perfectly.

You're back! Incredible video, as always. You are an inspiration to us all!

This match up was an unexpected but fantastic choice, an absolute treat to watch

Savage Oppress is a real underrated combatant if you think about it. Too bad his character writing couldn't stand up the same.

Great video as always,I look forward to the next one.

Jeez you can tell how much effort gets put into these, very well done dude :)

Yo GJ91, absolutely love Forcecast man and as stated before you are my fav of the lot! Will you be doing Forcecast again and will it be covering Rogue One? Thanks mate!

Honestly didn't think I would enjoy a video with Oppress in it, but your fine work proved me wrong. Very well made and I always like the logic you apply

I want to see Adi Gallia in a versus series. I think she's underated. I think she could of survive savage if she didn't attempt to kick him.

Very solid video!!! I highly enjoy the this battle!

Great analyses, I'm surprised but glad that you have a much more fair breakdown of Savage than others. Great work.

I can say with 100% certainty that I did not see this matchup coming! Good one GreyJedi.

Holy shit. That's my picture.

Beautiful

Respect given to Savage Opress!? Say what!? This is why I mess with this channel.

Great job dude nice long video. You win for the day

This came out of left field, out of all the people to defend Savage Opress even a little it was you and I love it another great match as always.

Well this video was a nice surprise (and it certainly made work a lot more entertaining this morning). In all honesty GreyJedi91, I thought this would be K'Kruhk's fight but you were very objective of both characters and it shows the potential of Savage Opress had TCW done more with his character. I like how you kept the fight as fair as possible by having both characters relatively from the same time frame, making them approximately the same age. I look forward to even more versus series in the future

Thanks for the video because I realized that Savage Opress should have more credit than he is given for.

GreyJedi91... this video solidified you as the best verses series video maker in my opinion. I like how your honesty in your analysis transcends your personal bias which I see few video makers accomplish. It was clear you love K'Kruk as a character but recognized Savage Opress' ability despite lack of enthusiasm for him. I loved this video and agree with the outcome. Furthermore, I have to say that I follow the whole council but your voice is the BEST. Your tone and flow are mesmerizing. Fantastic story teller! Would love to have more videos from you. I really like Evan Nova's "The Story Of" videos. Its nice to have a 40 minute complete story on a single character to listen to while driving or late at night. Would also like to see you pit Darth Vader vs a bunch of different Jedi. My personal perspective on power of characters is that I place George Lucas' personal quotes and his actual intent (hard to discern) higher than lore information. I believe it was always his intent to have Luke and Anakin as the most powerful characters in Star Wars history, despite how other characters are depicted for our entertainment.

always a treat when you upload thank you for all the work you put in, nice to see savage get some credit for a change. may i suggest BATTLE OF THE SHANS Bastila vs Satele

Great video!! I loved it, it was so well done. Thank you for the work you put into this video. I know you don't do requests often but i have one. I have asked Evan Antoine and Connor but they are so busy with their own stuff i figure i will pitch it to you. Its probably the most even match up i could think of. Could you consider doing Count Dooku vs Exar Kun?

Thus far, I didnt feel quite right with anyones analysis for Savage, however this video was a masterstroke, even if he had lost the fight, I wouldve been more than happy that you had done the character justice. This is one of my favourite videos of yours to date, I look forward to more of your work in the future

Revan vs Kyle Katarn Or Kao Cen Darach vs Cin Drallig

What an excellent match-up! There's no questioning as to why you're considered the "grand master" of the Council! This video just added to the hype surrounding the up-coming Sharad Hett Vs. vid. If you haven't already chosen an opponent for him, I would request that his opponent should be Jai Maruk.

Ah... this was great. A breath of fresh air. I always look forward to your vids and this did not disappoint for EU appreciation or analytical depth. Though personally I would give the slightest of nods to K'kruhk here (partly because I'm tired of watching the poor dude lose versus matchups despite his obvious talent) it would be a virtual split decision. It's nice to see Savage get his due for a change. He may not be the most technically skilled or refined combatant, but that doesn't mean he is someone that you can safely underestimate and walk away from. Unless you're Sidious. :P

Loved it, I can definitely agree with the verdict and I have very little to argue with

Excellent Video and Battle Narration!. I Was rooting for K'Kruhk, and was really surprise in the end... I Thought he has thee weapons to overcome the duel, but you really made it sound Fair. And still.. It was very close. In Other similar scenario, i could have go either Way. Thanks for this!

GreyJedi91, YOU'RE BACK!!!

Nice work

THANK you ! I'm not a massive fan of Savage Opress but i have bin disappointed that all the Versus match's iv seen, he never wins . good match :)

I would love to see a movie about this guy!

Love the video my friend. K'kruhk has always been a character that has fascinated me since first reading Schism back in the day. The flashback scene detailing his resentment of losing so many clone troopers in battle and the clones total selfless attitude towards the whole situation was always a scene I felt was very emotional. Would have to agree with the result though. Ive never been a big TCW fan, but Ive seen every episode from season 3 onwards once just about. Oppress always struck me as kind of a bland character but I never had outright problems with him like with Ashoka, the changes to Quinlan Vos' character or the Nightsisters themselves. I did think his origin was a bit stupid with the Nighsisters, and the retconning of Mauls original Zabrak heritage. I think Oppress could have been an intriguing figure if he was Mauls brother from Iridonia and not Dathomir but that is just me. I always kind of assumed that Oppress had a hidden greatness that he was never able to call on cue during his time in the limelight. I think given proper time to develop and with Maul's guidance he could have developed into a fierce dark side warrior with considerable power in the force. Not so sure about his actual lightsaber fighting though. Anyways, always a pleasure to hear your videos man ... take care!

YOU'RE ALIVE !!! lol

i like it thanks and it proves what dooku says you could be the most displined or have the best style but a common street thug could overpower you or suprise you and defeat you.

My goodness this is surprising. Right out of the Blue. Well time to watch and enjoy the amazing storytelling. But no way In a thousand years savage is gonna pull off a win like this unless it's padawan Ku'Kruk which it is I would think. Nope guess it's knight Ku'Kruk well anyway time to listen to this video looking forward to it.

So great to see you back again ! Say, since you've made a bio vid on Sharad Hett, do you think there could be a VS with his son, before he became Darth Krayt ? Otherwise, I'm eager to see any new VS video from you :)

What do you think of savage oppress and darth maul vs Volfe karrko and aayla secura. Coming this November.

Great.

I hope you'll do a profile video on Lord Hoth the legendary Jedi Battle Master who defeated the Brotherhood of Darkness at the cost of his life. Just a fun request for you.

I was wondering what you thought of a match between darths tyrannus and plagueis? As there two of my favorite sith and to my knowledge youve never used either. Great vid that is such fun to revisit, keep up the great work!

Might I request a multi-era Jedi vs Sith team-up battle? One from the Old Republic Era, one from the Clone Wars Era, and one from post Return of the Jedi (Canon or Legacy) for each side....of your choosing, of course.

Can you make a video about your star wars character like your name, lightsaber color, etc. Thanks!

There's another point I'd like to make concerning their physiology that I think is overlooked and (to me) directly relates to K'kruhk's survival on Hypori. Whiphids have a layer of blubbler and fur that they use to protect themselves from the elements of their homeworld, but these two qualities have combat applications as well. Historically speaking (as I understand such things as I'm not an expert) Swordsmen tended to wear large baggy clothing as a way of obfuscating the exact dimensions of their body. This gave them an advantage in combat by making their body more difficult to hit. This is most clearly seen in traditional Japanese clothing where samurai are shown wearing clothes that appear to be several sizes too large on them, but it can also be seen in the puffy shirts of fencers and in other places. It's probably also why Jedi wear robes as opposed to form fitting armor (among other reasons). K'kruhk's layer of fur acts in a similar manner. In his robes the fur would push against the fabric (which is already loose) adding maybe another inch to his perceived size. An inch that if struck wouldn't do any damage. Out of his clothes his fur still performs this function (though perhaps less effectively). Savage Opress has no such advantage. With his armor he's trading knowledge of his body's dimensions for damage resistance. Against blasters this works. Against a lightsaber he lost an arm (though given the way he was hit that was probably going to happen anyway). As for the blubber it also functions in a similar manner. Historically fighters with a layer of fat had an advantage over other combatants in that the fat acted as a buffer absorbing blunt strikes and as a way to take non-debilitating damage from bladed weapons. A blade (whether metal or energy) passing through the layer of fat would hurt but because it isn't cutting the muscle the fighter is able to continue fighting (or at least make a hasty retreat to quickly recover with some stitches). With K'kruhk this means he has a way of absorbing some of the strike from a Telekinetic attack while at the same time he's able to take a blow to the abdomen that would likely kill one without this protection. Again Savage has no such advantage. He is built like a brick wall and against blunt physical strikes that is enough but if he were struck by even a light hit from a lightsaber that limb would be incapacitated (like Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones).

K'kruhk is in my top three favourite jedi but yeah I have to agree with you. I shall be over here making myself feel better with the fact Legacy K'kruhk would take it. I don't think Opress would have ever managed to get much better then he was at the time of his death due to his personality and the fact he'd gotten strong enough to kill a council member so he probably wouldn't have ever accepted he was still too weak to be even a threat to the top tier anyways amazing video! so glad you did this I loved every second of it dude

good job 👊👊👊👊👍👍👍👍👍 😎

good job

I'll admit I wasn't expecting this match up. Each combatant was given their due praise and while I can't argue the criticism of savage (despite being TCW generation) I appreciate keeping it simple and clean. Overall another good piece For a match up I recommend Tholme and Quinlin Voss VS Eeth Koth and Sharad Hett If not then recommend it to Jensaari, I feel either of you would be happy to do it

if you have the time could you do kit fisto vs Darth talon

I do wish to bring something up at 30:26 While landing a kick and stunning General Grievous would normally be an impressive feat this is the 2006 Clone Wars T.V show we are talking about. Where General Grievous's power fluctuates from being undefeatable to being outclassed by Gungans. General Grievous in the 2006 show has no consistency to him, he is whatever the writers want him to be for the plot of the story. While I think Adi Gallia's defeat and, death at the hands of General Grievous within the EU to be a better representation of her skills along with General Grievous's own skill.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but this a work of art. The music, pacing, storytelling, and analysis is amazingly on point. The only thing I don't agree with is Savage killing K'kruhk. Also, giving praise to versus series creators who deserve it is something I do greatly respect. The force ghost known as GreyJedi91 has came back from the dead and does not disappoint. If I could recommend a versus match, Clone Wars Greivous vs Clone Wars Vos? I cant stand what TCW did to both characters and I think it would be interesting to show just how much they characters and threat level were slammed.

Hey man, my friend just made a awesome idea of a verses match that's to good to pass up. Durge vs Mandilor the Preserver

GreyJedi can you do a darth malgus and Satelle Shan vs savage oppress and darth maul.

This was an extremely entertaining and interesting video. I came into this believing that K'kruhk was the superior combatant but your argument has convinced me:) btw are you still working on the Sharad Hett VS video?

can you do jango fett vs Rex next please who would win the template or the perfected clone

You wanna know how I subbed to your channel? Well i`m gonna tell ya anyways. Some friends of mine like do get really high and eat crackers &Cheese. Usually we watch movies or really youtube videos. We had watched some starwars lightsaber battles and our friend Robert laughed at your name. We decided to click one of your videos and we sat for over 2 hrs listening to your amazing work. You have such great knowledge of the SW universe( We are all fans of the Old star wars even the prequels). I just wanted you to know that sometimes. A group of Norwegian friends get high and watch your stuff. Best regards: Your loyal fans.

what about Arcann vs Darth Malgus?

30:30 Kick to the head will have difrent effect than hitting leg yes kicks to the legs can hurt but still head .

You have a pretty cool voice.

WOOHOOO!!! Oh, and I hate to be "that guy", but do you have any idea when the next Council Forcecast will be out?

I'm actually quite fond of Savage. As a character, he was simple but fulfilled his purpose, and had a very solid voice actor playing him. I wish we got to see more of him as time went on. He should've survived and lived on without Maul, allowing him to grow as a individual.

please consider doing exar kun vs darth malgus :) thanks

can you and the rest the other guys each pick your best darth and pit them in a big battle royal?

Very, very good as always. Anyway I have checked out SciFi's channel and while I agree with almost none of his verdicts (he's unfortunatly only made like 4 anyway), he is a very good analyst and presenter. As far as this video, I came in with almost 50/50 opinions, but leaning slightly to Savage. I agree with the analysis, for the most part, but am somewhat confused as to why you gave K'kruhk a slight strength edge. I don't remember him showing any notable showings of strength that put them on par with Savage, and you didn't mention any. That's really my only complainant. Pleas keep up the good work.

K'Kruhk's species name sounds like a dog breed LOL

I got a request Darth Phobos vs Darth Talon

Cin Drallig vs Darth Maul or Sora Bulq?

thats the first time i've ever heard of shii cho being attributed to Savage, and ur rite it does fit. is this the first battle that Savage has won???

give him some room and he can do some thing.

How a bout Depa Billaba vs Shaak Ti?

Out of all of the VS video creators on KZfaq, not just the Council Forcecast, I think you have the most accurate view on Opress's skills as a fighter.

can you do adi Gallia vs asajj ventress or Anakin skywalker.

Do a video about the "Bring the Old Republic era of Star Wars to Netflix" project

I'm a fan of yours and your friends start wars vs can you do a revan vs Lord scourge or revan vs k'irunk or revan vs ward null or revan vs anybody's of new jedi ordered please

the Monster vs the Guardian.

What is the name of the song used for Savage's introduction? I know It's not Game of Thrones but sounds sexual and Valyrian enough to be.

K'krukh lived through darth Kraft and third Jedi purge and the galactic triumvirate why didn't you add that?

First like and view... God dammit Grey I have a game tomorrow!

I have to wonder tho lets say these two only fought with their lightsabers as they both commonly do, it would become a question of stamina, who would collapse from sheer exhaustion first?

Finally a match where savage wins

Yeah, this was a good one! Well done, as always. However, the real reason I came here was to address the comments below concerning a proposed v.s series match...Kao Cen Darach v.s Cin Drallig. A few people actually believe that Drallig would beat Darach? *smh* Funny

love this one because so many like to dump on savage. although savage is a completely unrefined brute, he is one that has been able to kill council masters and has slaughtered many jedi. the galaxy would have been a frightening place indeed were he ever trained to his full potential.

In MMA and Tia kickboxing. Legs kicks are designed to slowly, but surely ware down your opponent. Eventually through sheer numbers the opponents legs will break down. I think Obi wan knew this, and that is why is continued to pound away a Savage's leg. It slowed Savage's movements, until finally Obi wan ended up in the prefect place to strike Savages knee in touch away he would tear his ACL.

Wouldn't a blaster resistant body armor also be at least partially resistant to lightsabers? They are both plasma weapons?

do Grandmaster K'kruhk vs Yoda or one of the other Grandmasters

I know commenting on a five year old video is kinda silly, but wanted to thank you for the breakdown on Savage, as I agree on all the points in his role in the story, and I feel you more accurately analyzed savage then jensaari. I don't know anything about k'kruhk, so nothing to add on him.
