Does anyone seriously think Kylo is actually as powerful as prime Vader?
Like can anyone imagine Vader in a situation like above unless he was heavily weakend or something? I mean, seriously?
r/PetranakiArena • u/CrazyTangerine7522 • 15h ago
Honestly this may be a hot take but I don’t see how Vader is better duelist than Anakin. Sure Vader is more powerful through force feats, but when it comes pure skills with a blade, Anakin feels more impressive.

Canon vaapad vs legends vaapad. There is actually a difference. Both are similar in that a user like mace would channel their inner darkness into a weapon of the light. However the superconducting loop where a dark siders power is redirected back at them exists in legends only not canon
So mace utilising vaapad and shatter point against Palpatine was really him using techniques that allowed him to fully draw out his own natural skill and power in Disney canon; rather than it being a superconductive loop where a dark siders power is redirected back at them as a way to bridge power gaps as in legends/EU

Asajj Ventress is underrated and has some very impressive feats let's take a closer look at them.
During one of her first missions, Ventress killed a Jedi Master (Master Tholme); it is described that she quickly gained the upper hand and disarmed him. Quinlan Vos watched the fight via a hologram, but he could not follow the action because it unfolded too rapidly.
https://imgur.com/a/2v3xaGT
In the novel Brotherhood, she had her first fight against Anakin; she dueled him. Anakin generally had the upper hand, but she pressured him and matched him to a stalemate in a telekinetic tug-of-war—you can read it for yourselves here. https://imgur.com/a/MykjPxU
On Christophsis Ventress challenged not just Anakin, but Obi-Wan too. Their combined force. Lo and behold, she successfully staves them off over the course of a lengthy engagement -- 1 minute and 5 seconds, then 57 seconds, then a final 30-40 seconds, all largely off-screen. I think we can also say that Ventress wasn't really fighting seriously, since her goal the entire time was to lure them back toward her army because it was a trap. It is therefore evident that, in the Clone Wars show, Asajj Ventress is quite capable of going toe-to-toe with Anakin and Obi-Wan as early as the very first season.
https://youtu.be/sYRoPC-9ydY?is=HuGO5igajpJRv8Kt
She duels Obi-Wan on Teth, even though it often looks like he has the upper hand he gets disarmed and kicked at various points. Furthermore, he is visibly straining in several of their exchanges. The swordplay itself is very competitive, and both combatants demonstrate exceptional agility.
Ventress' issue is that she cannot secure a decisive blow. She disarms Kenobi, but cannot follow through before he recovers his weapon.
She pins Kenobi, but cannot overwhelm him before he maneuvers himself into a better position. She pierces Kenobi's guard with a kick, but cannot press the advantage before he recovers. He hangs in there despite her best --and repeated -- efforts to take him down. But ofc she still pressed him.
https://youtu.be/9Agswnzx3rM?is=VIO3i9qQt-R5fS4p
During the same mission, Ventress dueled Anakin and Ahsoka simultaneously. Ventress and Anakin go blow-for-blow for a bit while Ahsoka handles the battle droid escort. Ventress joins her lightsabers together, revealing her skills with a curved saberstaff, and assails Anakin anew. However, Anakin eventually takes the upper hand, disconnecting her lightsabers and knocking one away. Ventress quickly counters with the Force, blasting Anakin to the ground and nearly killed him. Ahsoka intervenes, and Ventress recalls her lost lightsaber in time to engage both Jedi. She battles them from opposing angles, and takes the upper hand, kicking Anakin away. Ahsoka is forced out of the Battle, and Anakin continues to fight Ventress until their own duel is interrupted.
https://youtu.be/GV06hj514GE?is=7y7xzQgFaXgZ3Yqv
All in all, a very well-matched battle. Anakin and Ventress trade advantages here and there, even when Ahsoka is present. I’m not sure, however, whether the fight counts as canon.
Then she had a duel against Luminara Unduli she dismisses
Ventress as just a single, undisciplined assassin.
Ahsoka Tano, however, is on the other end of the scale in terms of assessing Ventress' threat level.
She sees Ventress as too powerful for any single Jedi to handle:
Luminara Unduli: Our attacker has come for Gunray. Stay here and guard him -- I'll confront her myself.
Ahsoka Tano: Master, all due respect, but Ventress is too powerful for any one Jedi to fight alone. Let me help you.
Luminara Unduli: 1 am more than capable of dealing with a lone assassin armed with undisciplined fighting skills.
Ventress succeeds in partially blinding Luminara by slashing at the surrounding environment.
Luminara, for all her skill, is now at a
disadvantage, and Ventress charges with ferocity.
https://imgur.com/a/lUTsRlR
Despite her wound, Luminara handles herself well. Her fighting style is very elegant, very elaborate a stark contrast to Ventress' vicious attacks. You could argue that Luminara was the superior fighter. Ventress rushes Luminara repeatedly, only to be gracefully outmaneuvered each time. Ventress nearly stumbles over the ledge because of this. https://imgur.com/a/2h0O08d
Ventress resorts to a Force attack, and matched Luminara and the energy overloads, knocking away both combatants. https://imgur.com/a/T9aSF9H
Luminara performs an extended single attack another elaborate and fluid maneuver, showcasing incredible agility and skill.But Ventress deflects the attack nevertheless. Now Ventress performs her own extended, single attack. It's a straightforward, quick leap, angling both a slash and a kick at the target. Ventress lands the kick and knocked Luminara off the platform, and even disarmed her. https://imgur.com/a/wZ7kXDu
Moving on, Ahsoka Tano enters the fight.
Alongside Luminara, she battles Ventress.
Luminara quickly lands a kick, and shortly thereafter, Ventress overpowered them in a blade lock and flees. https://imgur.com/a/1wQLINh
Later she engage them again As for the combat itself, it was relatively well-matched. Ventress is certainly holding her own, and would we expect anything less? She's survived against stronger duos such as Obi-Wan and Anakin and it seems like she enjoyed herself during the fight. At the end of the fight, she overpowers Luminara in a blade lock, causing Luminara to stagger back several steps, and immediately afterward, she lands a kick on Ahsoka. https://imgur.com/a/QNlfH4h
I would also like to point out Her number one priority, as emphasized to her by Count Dooku saying that there was no room for failure, was the rescue or elimination of Nute Gunray. she outmaneuvered them by putting Ahsoka in the cell and luring the overconfident Luminara away. She was controlling the pace during the entire time and was purposefully fighting defensively to give Argyus and Gunray enough time to escape. As I said before, one could argue that Luminara was superior, but I favour Ventress.
Then Ventress had two more duels against Anakin; they were very evenly matched in these fights, and neither truly held the advantage. First fight in Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars - Battle Tales #2. https://imgur.com/a/3SUkuQE
And in Star Wars Star Wars: Halycon Legacy.
https://youtu.be/EpysIXI9EgM?is=O3O6SYgD-i0aWHe2
Then she had a duel against Aayla Secura, and I would say Ventress clearly had the upper hand. Ventress matched her in the force She was also multitasking the whole time destroying the facility around them with her lightsaber in between strikes. Also Ventress was specifically unarmed for whole chunks of the fight taking a facility apart by telekinetically guiding her lightsaber. And Aayla still couldn't beat her. Not to mention, Ventress held back; she decided to not pursue killing Secura herself and left with the plans, deciding that Secura deserved a worthy death and that there would be other chances for it. Ventress then claimed she had left Secura alive so that the Jedi would know the facility was destroyed. https://imgur.com/a/1Efo3yx
She fought Anakin again, this time on Kamino; she managed to force-push him. During their duel, she managed to land a kick and flipped Anakin over herself, creating an opening to escape. Anakin pursued her, and they dueled briefly once more; Anakin managed to land a kick on her, knocking her to the ground. She then got back up, fought more offensively, broke Anakin’s guard in seconds, and knocked him back down with several kicks. She arguably outperformed him here. https://imgur.com/a/skZoj9e
On Sullust, she fought both Anakin and Obi-Wan simultaneously; early in the fight, she managed to knock Obi-Wan out with a kick, disarming and leaving him vulnerable on the ground, where he remained unconscious for a time. https://imgur.com/a/c8UCGvb
She was not only able to withstand a Force push from Anakin but even land one herself, hurling him against the wall. https://imgur.com/a/6GZwhGW
She even manages to Force-choke and levitate Anakin and Obi-Wan at the same time; ofc, she was enraged, but let's not forget that she was also severely injured. And still did hold her own for a period amount of time.
https://imgur.com/a/Px98oqr
In the end, she was defeated and disarmed, but she could have ended the fight sooner; the explosions saved the Jedi. https://imgur.com/a/xSb3nfU
What makes it even more impressive is this version of Anakin and Obi-Wan is from the later stages of the war, only a year before ROTS (at the most). bby, during the Battle of Sullust, and the Battle of Kamino which is established as having happened shortly before the Battle of Sullust. https://imgur.com/a/CrsQObq
Ventress had become too powerful; Sidious now viewed her as a threat and wanted to get rid of her, ordering her death. He believed that Dooku and Ventress could have defeated him together. https://imgur.com/a/yxat85b
He saw her as Dooku's most impressive disciple:
Dooku's first disciple was perhaps his most impressive. Sold into slavery as a child, this Dathomirian found her way into the care of an accursed Jedi Knight. She trained as his apprentice, but her master's death drove her to the dark side. This led her to Darth Tyranus Though Asajj Ventress proved a formidable assassin, / sensed the dark power growing within her could be used against me. And sol ordered Tyranus to kill Ventress-but the girl escaped with her life. She spent most of her remaining days seeking revenge against her former master.
The Secrets of the Sith
And her mastery of the dual-bladed, combat-style Jar'Kai was unparalleled. Yet another reason she had to be eliminated:
This forbidden disciple of Darth Tyranus carried two blades with curved hilts, each similar in style to the lightsaber used by her master. Her weapons offered more versatility than Dooku's, allowing Ventress to combine the two blades into a single saberstaff configuration. Ventress's mastery of the dual-bladed, combat-style Jar'Kai was unparalleled. Yet another reason she had to be eliminated.
The Secrets of the Sith
Thus it is implied that Ventress' abilities were perceived by both sides of the conflict as comparable to that of a Sith Lord, and highly dangerous, even to the senior Jedi.
Ventress, together with two skilled Nightsisters, fought against a drugged Count Dooku; she held her own briefly on a few occasions before the Nightsisters joined in to assist her in the battle. https://imgur.com/a/boYd0ku
Dooku had the upper hand most of the time; obviously, he dominated them. At the end of the fight, Ventress still managed to Force-push him and disarm him.
https://imgur.com/a/0oY3Hck
Ventress and the Nightsisters did successfully disarm Dooku, for all intents and purposes they succeeded, if only momentarily. Unfortunately she did one mistake instead of simply leaning forwards and impaling her old master, she swung at him dramatically and in turn left herself open for a force lightning blast.
I think we’ve all noticed that Ventress doesn’t perform as well against Dooku as she does against her other opponents, and I think the reason is simple. He played a major part in her training; most of what she learned came from him. He is familiar with her style, and we have canonical proof that Dooku plants weaknesses in his apprentices.
For example Filoni said that Vader would defeat Ahsoka because he taught her everything. he has the advantage of a lopsided knowledge of her fighting style:
"A lot of fans are already obsessed with this idea of Vader versus Ahsoka. One-to-one, could Anakin Skywalker defeat Ahsoka? Yeah, absolutely he could, because he taught her."
~ Dave Filoni
Exactly the same would applies to Ventress and Dooku.
She did fought Dooku again together with Savage. And so, while Dooku rather outclasses Ventress in their battle, she still contends in the loosest sense. This is no Cad Bane vs Obi-Wan, or Mortis Ahsoka vs Anakin.
When Dooku presses at Ventress, she staves him off for a brief period of time before going down, and temporarily engages him head-to-head at various points. https://imgur.com/a/691Hj8P
And, when Dooku engages Ventress once more, she lasts a good 16 seconds before going down.
It was rather one-sided, but she held on for a decent stint.
https://youtu.be/hAi6p1NZ_HI?is=mD1MC4K6S7TUVMzx
Then she fought General Grievous on Dathomir. He managed to land a kick on her, but unluckily for him she didn’t go down. In lightsaber combat, she completely outclassed Grievous; she is simply better. She disarmed him of one of his lightsabers, severed one of his arms, and nearly killed him. She is far too brutal a fighter for him to handle. Filoni seems to back this up:
"I still don't believe that, at this point -- one-to-one -- that Grievous could really take out someone like Ventress in a lightsaber fight."
~Dave Filoni
https://www.ign.com/articles/2012/03/21/star-wars-the-clone-wars-looking-back-at-
season-4
https://youtu.be/TWGYnSUDdRY?is=Ry-ZvkWxzHiMU6LA
Then she, together with Obi-Wan, fought against Savage Opress and Darth Maul. I would argue that Ventress outperformed Savage. Ventress very quickly works her way through Savage's guard and inside his reach, landing 3 physical blows while Savage landed 1
and his physical strength led to Ventress being disarmed. https://imgur.com/a/sGjZqXw
She fought Savage while unarmed, dodging Opress’s aggressive blows and striking back with a flurry of punches and kicks until Kenobi returned her lightsaber to her. He failed to kill her even when she was unarmed, and once she was armed again, he was held off for the rest of the battle.
Of course, she also had brief clashes with Maul and outperformed him, too. The first time, she broke his guard in seconds when she and Kenobi switched opponents; then, toward the end of the fight, they clashed briefly once more, and Ventress broke his guard again, stunning him with a kick. https://imgur.com/a/dUdtjhE
I would also like to point out that Ventress is the reason both Zabrak’s failed to stop Kenobi and her from escaping. Her kick stunned Maul long enough for her to then turn towards to Kenobi and land a Force push on Savage which meant he, too, failed to stop her.
https://youtu.be/gE6rwhDHerI?is=-LfttrNn1f3gzbCr
In Season 5 of The Clone Wars, she fought Anakin while unarmed because her lightsabers had been stolen. Despite this, she managed to defend herself for a time; she landed two kicks and dodged several aggressive lightsaber strikes from Anakin. I also believe that Anakin was "rage-amped" during the fight and was tapping into the dark side, which makes her performance all the more impressive. At one point during the encounter, Ventress managed to arm herself with two poles, using them to strike Anakin in the back had those been her lightsabers, the outcome would not have been good for him. Sure, he defeated her and outclassed her pretty quickly, but I think we can agree that this wasn't a fair fight, right?
https://youtu.be/j7b25SGv9dM?is=GFvJOjf3ma02_HvE
Now we come to her feats in Dark Disciple.
She had a brief 1v1 against Dooku; I would argue she performed better than before, and even briefly forced the Count to retreat. Asajj proves capable of seizing the upper hand over her opponent and maintaining that advantage for a time.
Snarling, Ventress charged at Dooku, reveling in the strength of her muscles as she dealt strike after strike. Her old Master parried expertly, but she forced him back. He dodged to one side. Just as Ventress realized she had overextended, Dooku's left hand clamped down on her right wrist and he brought up his own lightsaber. It was Ventress's turn to seize his arm and hold the scarlet blade at bay. For an instant, the two, their faces only centimeters apart, stared into each other's eyes in a mockery of lovers.
~ Dark Disciple
Dooku defeated her, of course, but it was still a good performance. DD Dooku is also very formidable He was evenly matched with DD Anakin who is near to his ROTS Levels.
She fought General Grievous once again; despite being wounded, disoriented, and unarmed, she still managed to fend him off with a powerful kick.
She snarled and charged at Grievous, executing a kick with her bare feet that still managed to send the larger and heavier cyborg staggering backward. He growled, clearly surprised.
~ Dark Disciple
Grievous failed to kill her, nonetheless. I’d also like to point out that when Kenobi tried to kick Grievous in ROTS, he just yelled in pain yet Ventress managed to kick him away, and she was barefoot.
She also had a brief duel with Obi-Wan, and she really hard pressed his defenses he was pressed to parry her attacks. Ventress wasn't even in her best form here; she’d lacked of practice and was struggling with alcoholism (To be fair, Kenobi mentioned that this was the first time he wasn't trying to kill her, so he was holding back.) Still, it’s impressive, especially since he’s operating close to his ROTSpower levels.
"You don't understand," Ventress cried. "You weren't there!" She whirled, targeting Kenobi now instead of Vos. Her green lightsaber was a blur and Kenobi was hard-pressed to parry.
"You know," he said, slipping his blade alongside hers then twisting it to throw her off balance, "I rather think fighting you was easier when I was trying to kill you."
Vos leaned against the wall, panting, his torso slick with blood and sweat. From his position he could see down the next corridor.
"We've got company!" he shouted, and sure enough, Kenobi could hear the clatter of metallic feet. Ventress abruptly dodged Kenobi's blow and returned her focus to Vos.
~ Dark Disciple
Ventress also ragdolled a trained Jedi Knight (Jedi Knight Desh); I think it’s fair to say that she can stomp Jedi Knights.
A few seconds later, a shape emerged. Ventress reached out in the Force, seized her stalker, raised him up into the air and slammed him down. An instant later she had a knee on his chest, and the glow of the lightsaber a few centimeters from his throat revealed the large, startled eyes and furry muzzle of a Mahran. He made no move to resist her.
"Give me one reason I shouldn't kill you," Ventress demanded.
~ Dark Disciple
Ventress’s arguably greatest feat is fighting a bloodlusted/rage-amped Quinlan Vos to a stalemate, all while having no intention of harming him and clearly holding back.
With a snap-hiss, Tholme's lightsaber sprang to life, and Vos charged.
Ventress was barely able to activate her own lightsaber and bring it up in time to prevent him from slicing her head off. Faster than she had ever seen him move before, even when she had pressed him on Dathomir, Vos twisted, and her blade slid off his. He rained blow after blow, his teeth bared in a snarl, forcing Ventress back down the corridor.
Vos had been a Jedi Master, and while she had defeated such before, the battle was never easily won. Now those skills were augmented by a dark side that had greedily feasted on his pain and rage. It seemed to her that his blows were effortless, and he did not tire.
Ventress had to reach him, somehow. Vos was drunk with this new power, unfettered, as she was, by the thought of striking a lethal blow. While she was only attempting to either knock him out or seize his lightsaber, he wanted her dead.
"You used me!" he shrieked. Left, right, left he struck, and she parried, feeling the jarring up her arm. Their blades sizzled, the two green blades striking sparks off each other.
"You came to me!" Ventress reminded him.
"You asked for my help! The Council-"
Vos bellowed, springing back and shoving hard with his left hand. Ventress was hurled backward, slamming into the unforgiving stone wall.
"They all warned me you were out for yourself. And you were. You didn't care about me at all!"
Her head was ringing, but Ventress got to her feet. She leapt toward Vos, landing behind him and kicking at the back of his knee. He hadn't been expecting it and stumbled. She seized the arm that held the lightsaber and yanked it back, trying to force him to drop it.
"If that were true," Ventress said, pleading,
"if I didn't care, then why am I here? Why did I risk my life to come back for you?"
For a moment a faint shadow of doubt flickered across his features, and he ceased struggling. Then his face grew hard.
"Because you needed me. You hated Dooku, and when I came along, you took advantage of it. You couldn't do it alone, but with me, you might have managed to kill your hated Master. I was never anything to you but a means to an end."
The bitterness in his voice stabbed like a dagger. Her own eyes stung with tears. And in that moment, Ventress hated the dark side for what it-and Dooku's torture-had done to this man.
"Vos, you were everything! This is the pain and the dark side speaking! This isn't who you are!"
With a roar, Vos lunged forward, hurling Ventress over his head. He wrenched his arm free and whipped his lightsaber around.
The tip grazed Ventress's midsection as she tried to roll away, and she cried out in pain.
"It is who I am! It's who I want to be! You gave me this cup, Ventress. You made me drink from it."
It was the truth. She had pushed him, in the caverns. She had forced him to kill the Sleeper in cold blood. And it seemed he had learned that lesson all too well.
"But you can control it! You're strong, Vos, stronger than it is! Don't let it win. Let's leave everything-Dooku, the Jedi, everything. We can go away together, just like we planned.
Just you and me!"
"Run away with someone who lied to me?" The words were harsh, but Vos wasn't fighting, wasn't charging her. Even so, he held his lightsaber ready as he asked, "Why did you do it?"
Hope, nearly burned to ashes, surged within her at the anguish in his tone. For this moment, there was more pain than rage in him. And the pain might just listen to her.
Slowly, Ventress lowered her weapon. She was ready to defend herself, but Vos didn't move to attack. She licked her lips, took a deep breath, and spoke.
"I did lie to you. And I lied to you because I was afraid."
His eyes narrowed. "You've never been afraid of anything, Asajj Ventress."
She shook her head. "You're wrong. I was terrified."
"Of what?" Vos scoffed.
"Of losing you." She let the words hang there for a moment, and when Vos still appeared to be listening, she continued.
"I've been lying for so long. It's second nature to me. We learned to trust each other, but what I felt...I was so scared. I was afraid to tell you about Tholme because I thought you'd hate me. I'd only just learned how to trust and care about someone again, and!..I couldn't bear the thought that if you really knew me, knew what I had done, you'd despise me."
Her voice broke. Vos's body posture eased.
His eyes were glued to her face. "You should have trusted me," he said softly.
Ventress nodded. "You're right. I should have. And even if you had left me, I'd have done the right thing. But I was too afraid. I was wrong. I am so very, very sorry."
Tears stung her eyes. Ventress let them fall.
She had not wept since the slaughter of her sisters, and even then she had grieved in solitude. Never had Ventress spoken so to another living being, not even her beloved Jedi Master. She stood, her heart wide open, her soul naked before him. Surely, he would see it, even through the darkness that clouded his mind. Surely, he would understand what this meant. Quinlan Vos knew her in a way no one else ever had. He would see, and understand.
The yellow hue faded from his eyes and he blinked. "Asajj?" he whispered.
"I brought your lightsaber back to you," she said. "Yours. I kept it safe for you, just like / did on Dathomir. Don't let Dooku use Tholme to divide us. I wish I could, but I can't change the past. I just want a future-with you."
It was the wrong thing to say. Vos looked down at the blade he held, and his beloved face turned ugly with hatred. The awful yellow hue returned to his eyes as he looked back up at her.
"That," Vos growled, "is the worst lie of all."
Shattered, Ventress rolled out of the way as he leapt at her, bringing up her blade in a frantic parry as he forced her around the corner. She called his name, again and again, but Vos was now deaf to any plea she might utter. Ventress realized that he would not stop until he had killed her. And for one brief moment, she wanted him to. It would be easier than living without him, knowing that this was where she had unwittingly led him.
No. She would not give up. She would not let Dooku and the dark side have him.
With his fury-fueled attacks Vos forced her to retreat, back toward the exit, and Ventress let him do so. She understood now that he was too far gone to be talked into accompanying her willingly, but if she could bring the fight back out into the open, she might be able to maneuver him toward Fett and the others. The aid of even one of the bounty hunters might be enough to subdue Vos and drag him onto one of the ships.
Even though she retreated deliberately, Vos's attack demanded every bit of her focus. He seemed to grow stronger, his attacks more powerful, while Ventress had to draw on everything she had simply to stay alive.
Vos barely even seemed to need to breathe, and he threw everything he had at the woman that, Ventress knew in her heart, he had once cared for so deeply. As they turned another corner, Ventress nearly stumbled over the debris of a battle droid she had torn apart but a few moments before. Vos shot out a hand. Several pieces of broken metal rose in the air. Grunting, Vos gestured, and they all launched themselves at Ventress.
She sliced a torso in half with her lightsaber, used the Force to deflect various limbs, and dived out of the path of two severed heads.
Ventress landed on her feet and immediately brought up her weapon to deflect the blur of Tholme's lightsaber. She used the Force to shove it and Vos back, and kept retreating.
It seemed like an eternity before Ventress saw that the dimness of the corridors was growing brighter. Hope surged in her as she realized that they were close to the exit. The emotion made her careless; she found herself suddenly lifted and flung backward out the door.
Ventress sailed through the air for several meters, landing hard and awkwardly, and for a wild moment was unable to rise. Then someone grabbed her arm and hauled her to her feet.
~Dark Disciple
Of course, you could argue it wasn't a stalemate because Quinlan Vos was forcing her back the entire time; however, since she is holding back and doesn't want to hurt him, it makes sense it’s the same scenario as with Anakin and the dark-side/bloodlusted Ahsoka in Season 3 of The Clone Wars. Anakin was holding back because he didn't want to hurt Ahsoka, which is why she was able to force him back so that doesn't mean Ventress isn't capable of matching Quinlan Vos.
