I have to be blunt, I cranked this video out as quickly as I could using two characters that I have a huge amount of re-usable material on. Furthermore, this versus short will not receive a tie-in Post-Mortem, as I intend to make General Grievous the subject of a dedicated special, and I intend to cover Battlemaster Darach alongside Lord Vindican, as the majority of their feats are against one another.
My analysis of Jedi Battlemaster Kao Cen Darach will draw from his primary appearance in the Return cinematic trailer, with background information pulled from The Old Republic Encyclopedia, The Journal Of Gnost-Dural, and The Old Republic M.M.O. itself. In addition, I will also be examining the available behind the scenes material for the Return trailer, as it provides a glimse into what was going on off-camera during the Korriban Station duel.
My analysis of Separatist General Grievous will pull from his primary appearances in the Revenge Of The Sith film, comic, novelization and visual dictionary, in addition to the Clone Wars microseries and its tie-in digest comics, the Expanded Universe novel Labyrinth Of Evil, and the various Clone Wars-era Dark Horse comic series. It should go without saying at this point, but I will be focusing specifically on Grievous' depictions in pre-2008 Star Wars media, ignoring his appearances in The Clone Wars animated series.
Without any further delay, allow me to present Kao Cen Darach Vs. General Grievous.
Let's begin.

Darach is a true one-scene wonder, it would have been great to have a novel centered on him and padawan Satele. While I agree that his style is well-suited against Grievous I don't see his feats as impressive enough to beat Grievous.

Its all good that you cranked this out fast. And even then, I still like the matchup because its a matchup between 2 combat oriented Niman Specialists. One is reactive, one is proactive. I think I speak for everyone, Im just super happy that your channel is back and your first vs video since regaining your channel. But going into this, I have no idea who to put my money on. On the one hand, Grevious can get in close and unload Ala Malgus. On the other hand, Kao's skill with force integration and evasive style is a great way of handling Grevious. So we have a offensive RNG Machine against an a more evasive take on the Great Wall of China of Def. Which is just short of the best way to bring Grevious down. 6:40 Again, I heavily disagree with you on this point. Grevious is noted to be made out of Duranium which is lightsaber resistant. It can take glancing blows from lightsabers. 14:30 Oh shit. Totally forgot about this. Kao with 2 blades against Grevious is a smart move and lets him better leverage his entire skill set. 15:35 Yeah I agree with this one. These two both are optimized to exploit each others weaknesses to a pretty similar degree. 22:00 Worth noting that since his style is more about physical evasion than pure efficient bladework, his delicate defensive style is a little worse because grievous can stay on top of him and hammer him to death. But then again, Kao has great get off me options in force push and force throw. Kao does have the right tools for the job, but this is still really close.

@@zachhaake1635 That would actually be fine, except that Coleman trebor has virtually zero material on him outside of AOTC. He was literally made to die by Jango Fett and a literal meme in the prequels. He isn't meant to be taken seriously. And unlike characters such as plo koon who got extended screen time and material focused on them such as TCW and the clone wars comics, trebor has none. Wookiepedia states that he was a proficient lightsaber duelist yet he has zero material so how can we really believe what wookiepedia says? And Wookieepedia is questionable in factual sources. That would require a lot of pure speculation off of little to zero material to make an analysis of Coleman trebor. The inquisitors, on the other hand, while they are underpowered, have participated in engagements against other force wielders such as kanan, ezra, and even ahsoka, though the lattermost stomped them (though in all honesty, ahsoka was a tier 4 at the time and she had all the advantages as a superior lightsaber duelist and force wielder, so it was fair that they would get stomped. Kanan was presumably a low level jedi knight while ezra was a low to mid level padawan). It still provides a fair assessment of where they stand in comparison to other force wielders.

When I am reminded of Grievous as he was portrayed in the original expanded universe it reminds me of one of the marvel Darth Vader comics where a mad scientist guy has created new cyborgs based on or inspired by General Grievous. Unfortunately they are based on the Grievous of TCW and as such these new creations are far less intimidating than if they had been based upon EU General Grievous.

To be brutally honest, I do not think anyone will complain or question any new video's from you after coming back to KZfaq. TO have an extra one instead of further waiting for a big project will leave everyone elated. Especially this one too because, in all honesty, it's unique in it's own right: 1)Grevious has his critical weakness against direct Force-attacks and is pitted against a Paragon of telekinetic tactical applications. 2) Both were anomalies in their eras; a peacetime Jedi Guardian donning armour with a highly-developed Force-focused repertoire. And a cyborg Jedi-killer with a swordsmanship measure that only he could utilize. 3)Both have advantages against the other's critical shortcomings, so the excitement over who could press in on who's first is building excitement in every moment of this video. I'm still excited to see Darth Vader vs. Kyle Katarn, and a Strikezone video right now after seeing this channel coming back is awesome.

Again, she was about ready to drop after hours of marathon dueling when he finally took her down.

I concur with your estimation of how this battle would conclude, with the exception, I don't personally feel Kao would have such a hard time. It would take him a while, and he would get bloodied, with this I agree. I think Grievous would actually have less trouble with Malgus, and that ultimately I find myself unable to call a winner in that match. I'm sure smart money says Malgus, I wouldn't bet either way.

I'd like to think Anakin vs Vector Krayt plays out like the fight between Anakin and Dooku on the Invisible Hand. Krayt holds most of the edges but his lackluster stamina will be worn down to a nub by Skywalker. Either side can win, but by the skin of their teeth. Malgus vs Grievous also goes either way, likely depending on the distance between the two and how each side engages. Since Malgus is just as willing to break out Force powers as he is his saber, Grievous would have to bumrush Malgus before he catches onto what he's fighting. There isn't enough info on Hord, and Antoine Bandele has already covered Anakin vs Vader.
@gameovervirus2384
@gameovervirus2384 4 жыл бұрын
wristofkings Antoine has talked about pre-suit Vader vs Cyborg Vader where I personally agree with his conclusion. But Anakin unlike Pre-Suit was not chained down by his rage and could tap into it if flustered. Fallen Anakin vs Obi-Wan on Mustafar was completely blinded by his rage and although it gave him power it also gave him tunnel vision similar to Malgus where he would straight up ignore possible uses for the environment and would rather use the force to enhance his lightsaber attacks rather than actually trying to win by fighting smarter, simply smashing into Obi-Wan with his Djem-So blitzkrieg until Obi-Wan’s defenses opened up enough for a killing blow (which they didn’t feeding into his frustrations and making him desperate). ROTS Anakin before giving into the dark side would be far more level headed and in my opinion a better suit for Vader (pardon the pun) as his level headedness as well as his ability to tap into the dark side without succumbing to its weaknesses (like tunnel vision and ignoring the use of the force for the sake of brutality/showing who is more powerful) makes him a far better match.

I'd say a problem with that is the characters in that game are weak. Cal Kestis is little better than a Padawan, and the fact the Inquisitors struggle to deal with him showcase their own weakness. Sticking them against anybody would be difficult, which is best showcased by the duel in Rebels between Ahsoka and the two Inquisitors. She basically manhandled both with relative ease and likely would've killed them had Imperial reinforcements not arrived. Mind you, Ahsoka at that point is in the same tier as RotJ Luke Skywalker and Asajj Ventress (though arguably better than both): well trained and experienced fighters who have not quite found their edge, but are still able to contend with those above them.

A good fight to show off an underappreciated hero staking up to a perhaps over appreciated villain, in combative capability terms, especially after such a short period.

Quick question: any ideas when the next Fanalysis Star Wars video will be out? Just asking seeing as I love those videos and several have inspired me get back into Legends and (hopefully) start to do so more deeply eg: the Dark Lord Trilogy and the 3 Republic/Clone Wars omnibuses.

@Darth Cameron that would be a good video idea, I think they also did a similar thing about the contradictions/retcons between the two back when they were Council Forcecast.

@Darth Cameron One of the first rules of storytelling is assume that the audience knows nothing. And yeah. Totally nitpicking, and not pointing out actual flaws in the story. As apposed to your not-strawman of Kyp Durron and Gantoris, two troubled individuals influenced by the spirit of a dark jedi. One thing that perplexes me is that the Knights of Ren are supposed to be force sensitives, but they suck in combat and don't carry their own lightsabers. But I guess this conversation is fruitless, since you using gay as an insult shows how cognitively stupid you are.

@Darth Cameron Why is it nitpicking if Luke doesn't tell his allies (not necessarily the audience) he's only a distraction, and that they have to escape another way? Lightsaber crystals being rare is always a thing in Star Wars, not exactly new. We already knew the Kights of Ren were defected from Luke's academy, but what happened to their lightsabers? Lightsaber or no, they and Ben were both pathetic in their fight, showing low skill with what was at their disposal. No force power, crude weapon proficiency, and a contrived reliance on the presence or lack thereof of Ben's lightsaber. "I like to trigger people" is a shitty excuse for shitty behavior. You just undermine your credibility, as I was pointing out.

I think something that isn't mentioned (because I guess it's never been given significance) is that when it comes to Dooku vs. Grievous, Dooku not only taught Grievous everything about lightsaber combat, he also knows every single thing Grievous is made of, Dooku has a knowledge of Grievous' weaknesses (some possibly even intentional by design to ensure he couldn't overcome Dooku) surpassing even Grievous' own understanding of his weaknesses, it's never given weight, but this is a severe edge in the favor of Dooku in any encounter against Grievous, as well as the fact they've never attempted a full force fight to the death, to my knowledge, so their practice sessions, though relevant, are not exactly a perfect depiction of what a real fight between them would be like. Grievous' overwhelming, power oriented style as well as his near-infinite stamina is similar to the type of advantages that Anakin has over Dooku, so what I'm saying isn't that Grievous would beat Dooku in a real fight, or if Dooku didn't know all of Grievous' weaknesses, but that Dooku has a very strong circumstantial and specific advantage over Grievous and it's not simply that he's a league above Grievous in dueling ability, because they're in the same relative tier, just below the very best of the best in Star Wars. Just a view of mine, I think if Grievous can copy and counter other people's styles to near perfection in moments as well as analyze weaknesses to an almost shatterpoint level, as well as the amount of time he's analyzed Dooku's style, if Grievous really wanted to kill the Count, I think it's not outside of the realm of possibility for him to do so. Of course, many will just say "The Force" and rip any legitimate credit away from Grievous, but hey, at least I try to open a logical discussion.

Here is the issue with that. The Jedi have defenses against other force users, so Dooku couldn't rag doll someone as powerful as Skywalker, but he could just do exactly what Mace did to the General. Just force crush him and laugh. Dooku also had to fight both Anakin and Obi-wan at the same time which causes a great deal of strain for the Count. Where as if he was forced to fight the General he'd be able to use his force powers without issue. So I don't think Dooku would need to put in a weakness into Grevious's style as he had an ultimate win card in his pocket. The reason most Jedi didn't exploit that weakness's of Grevious is because they weren't trained to use the force in such offensive manners. For the most part they fought Thugs and Droids who were barely a threat to them so they wouldn't need to use the force in such Offensive manners, manners that the order frowned upon.

@@crazyscotsman9327 Assuming Grievous somehow couldn't pressure Dooku enough to the point he couldn't effectively use the force, Dooku hasn't shown proficiency with grips, especially not on the level of Windu, who had circumstances on his side when he successfully force crushed Grievous, Grievous is known to be incredibly durable and I'm almost certain he has Ion shielding, considering he was a "droid" going up against Clones, who had Ion grenades and other EMP weapons, keeping that in mind that could give him moderate protection against lightning, if Dooku relied on the force, he would risk compromising his lightsaber defense in order to take the offensive, leading to the possibility of Grievous plowing through his lightning and getting an unexpected hit in, which against Dooku would almost certainly be fatal, even if it was just a kick. So we HAVE to assume Dooku put in this weakness to ensure that if Grievous ever got out of hand or put him on his back foot, he had a contingency or two. Of course, it's mostly conjecture, but there's certainly merit to both sides, a battle between the two would actually be quite legendary, in my opinion.
