Guts vs Maul - Rematch

Status
Not open for further replies.
Maul doesn't spam force powers enough to bypass the skillgap as a swordsman
I didn't understand this part, Maul is more skilled in duels with melee weapons from what I see. In Guts' profile there doesn't seem to be anything similar to Maul's.

Can Maul go 1v800 against man-eating apostle monsters while bleeding out, slowly dying, and only having a single arm and a normal sword? The answer is no. Maul also can't fight a hundred tactical geniuses and assassins in the dark while bleeding out.

I can wank Star Wars skill to kingdom come, but it's primarily precision, Guts outclassed Maul effortlessly in raw ability and skill.

The first part depends on the character's stats, if everyone is as strong and fast as Guts then I think it's a matter of skill, the second part is more about superhuman will and resistance to injury than pure skill.

I mean, it's not just a matter of precision, since the instinctive reaction helps children block blasters. Besides, Maul has an increase in perception with this that would allow him to see Guts in slow motion since equalized speed, not to mention the things that would help him like telepathy, precognition, etc.

...Yeah, they were all SUPERIOR to Guts. And he didn't have no Dragon Slayer to make it so that they both tear eachother to bits.

It doesn't help enough, espeically with SW precog and IA being what it is, a sword fight ends on way and it's not in Maul's favor.
 
You know the Yujiro lightning thing? Guts and Dragon Slayer did that.
Yujiro also doesn't have a calculation for the temperature/heat of the lightning he tanked, he doesn't even have resistance to it, so what does it matter?
 
Voting Maul. Guts doesn't have resistance high enough to tank the saber and even the heat resistance he has is nowhere near the lightsaber.

Withstood lightning from Ganishka, who even prior to becoming Shiva is easily the most powerful Apostle seen to date)
This isn't resistance to lightning, you need to be in the air to actually be tanking it.
 
Force Lightning has been accepted as real lightning for years IIRC

These are in use on character pages but the verse page kinda sucks
Those are from 2017. I'd get Force Lightning checked again.
Yujiro also doesn't have a calculation for the temperature/heat of the lightning he tanked, he doesn't even have resistance to it, so what does it matter?
Yeah, because he scales to the full heat of the lightning. So does Guts.

Good to know the lightsaber doesn't cut through lightning heat resistance then, since even assuming force lightning was real lightning, basically nobody tanks it while not on the ground, and are frequently temporarily incapped by it.
 
Guts literally lightning rodded himself and flew straight into it with Zodd. Plus which jedi resist force lightning but and not light sabers. Because force shields block lightsabers and luke got rko’d by sidious’ lightning and sidious himself got vaporized.

The comments on the Mace Windu calc say that Force Lightning being real lightning comes from canon novels and was already accepted at a time period before the forum move (there's a dead VSBW discussion thread link)

Regardless, it is still accepted

Which is still at minimum 5 years ago. Get it checked again, seriously lmfao

Just need to be thorough.

Doesn't it matter if they are old? They are still accepted, where do you think the mhs+ on the back comes from?

Yeah, because he scales to the full heat of the lightning. So does Guts.
What part of "None of them have calculations for the temperature/heat of lightning" do you not understand?

I don't even know why you're using Yujiro when his calculations don't have temperature/heat and the guy doesn't even have heat resistance in his profile.

Guts literally lightning rodded himself and flew straight into it with Zodd. Plus which jedi resist force lightning but and not light sabers. Because force shields block lightsabers and luke got rko’d by sidious’ lightning and sidious himself got vaporized.
Because, let me see, even if Jedis are incapacitated, they don't get roasted or badly burned by the rays, however the lightsaber cuts through them like butter.
 
While being thorough would not hurt, it is ultimately still an accepted idea on these horrendously outdated profiles
Horrendously outdated, yeah! Ya'll already made a force page, so please tell me you've looked into Force Lightning enough to find these statements.
 
They clearly don’t scale to it, whoever gets truly hit by it is floored into the dirt. And it straight does vaporize sith when they are fully hit by it as shown by sidious
 
Ignoring that the guy specifically uses the heat of lightning to vaporize grounded opponents and Guts literally rodded it into himself.

Are you talking about Sidius from episode 9? His Force lightning has been enhanced many times over to the point where it can destroy a fleet.

Normal Force lighting incapacitates Jedi but doesn't roast them like bread.

There's this one fight where Savage Opress and Asajj Ventress are fighting Count Dooku and the former gets sprayed with Force Lightning a hilarious amount of times without going down. There's a threshold of characters who scale to it, and Maul, being much more powerful than the version of himself superior to his brother, is definitely there

And ofc lightsabers still cut through anyone like butter so there's that
 
If they are taking the lightning they must innately be using force shield which is shown to prevent people from dying to light sabers too when the writers remember it exist.

Sorta does, standards change!
What part of "None of them have calculations for the temperature/heat of lightning" do you not understand?
Then no force user has heat resistance because it's not calced. Seriously, this argument falls to pieces because the moment you look into matters, one of these individuals has jack shit for lightning resistance and was screaming and sobbing on the ground the instant he was hit by a casual version of it.
I don't even know why you're using Yujiro when his calculations don't have temperature/heat and the guy doesn't even have heat resistance in his profile.

Do you need more? This isn't a meme.

And Guts withstands full contact with lightning while he is in PLATE ARMOUR without even showing signs of pain. I wonder who scales.
 
I’m going to be busy for an hour. Just want to say, light sabers have a stated temperature so them upscaling from the lightning wouldn’t make sense anyways. The statement should take priority

Lightsabers have multiple stated temperatures. There's wiggle room there

So make a crt, as long as it is accepted, it is accepted and usable.

That's not what I'm talking about.

You're saying that Guts's resistance to heat is greater than the temperature of the lightsaber.

I don't understand, none of them have temperature calculations telling the temperature value. So where are you getting those 25K talk from?

Do you need more? This isn't a meme.
You know that this guy doesn't even have heat resistance and that according to the wiki, normal fire would boil him, right?

And Guts withstands full contact with lightning while he is in PLATE ARMOUR without even showing signs of pain. I wonder who scales.
Again, we don't have any exact temperature values.

If you want to compare lightning to lightning, Force lightning that is accepted as real lightning doesn't roast Jedi, but lightsabers cut through them like butter.

If they are taking the lightning they must innately be using force shield which is shown to prevent people from dying to light sabers too when the writers remember it exist.
Force Shield is an ability that is actively used, usually by raising your hands.

Where do you get the idea that in all the scenes where Jedis resist the heat aspect of lightning, they are somehow using Force Shield?
 
God I WISH we could dismiss things on that basis!

I did say 50% of the time, since from what I've researched Vader has a 50/50 split in terms of getting cut through by lightsabers compared to tanking the shit with ease.
Exactly! Just saying “bad writing gg” doesn’t mean it’s not canon
They're still torn through by lightsabers very easily. The bullshit part is that they survive the wound even though it should be a guaranteed kill
 
I’m going to be busy for an hour. Just want to say, light sabers have a stated temperature so them upscaling from the lightning wouldn’t make sense anyways. The statement should take priority
Dude, we don't have a set temperature for the lightsaber.

Haven't you seen the lightsaber page?
