I am terribly sorry for the delay in the the release of this video, but a few days ago I experienced an unexpected computer crash that erased all my progress and forced me to completely restart the editing process. Thank-you for your patience and again I apologize
Its completely fine Evan! Life can get in the way, not to mention that VS series videos take 10-20 hrs to make and unexpected computer problems can be a bitch! Always in-depth and entertaining! Keep up the great work!
Warb Null could beat Savage Opress, he could beat Clone Wars-era K'Kruhk, but a member of the Jedi Council? That seems unlikely. Corran Horn has clearly fought more dangerous opponents. Yeah, Ulic managed to take down Null with speed and agility, but Corran has more than that. He is both a master of the blade and a master in the Force. Wisdom can triumph over brute strength any day. Why not have Corran face a much smarter Sith warrior like Darth Maul?
Because he’d get absolutely flattened by Darth Maul. NJO masters & council members other than Luke are literally nowhere near the same level as a clone wars era master or council member. Nowhere near the same level of swordmasters that the prequel era Jedi were. George Lucas very clearly said the clone wars/prequel era Jedi were at their martial peak, above all other eras in the order’s history. The NJO literally didn’t even know what the 7 classic forms even WERE until just before the Vong War; Which each one would’ve taken YEARS to relearn and master. Which is why it gets on my nerves when this kid is always saying “he’s a form 4 master” or “he’s a form 5 master” when referring to NJO Jedi. NO tf they are not. They used either the 3 rings, or strong/medium/fast styles. That’s it. Other than Luke there WERE no “masters” of any of the actual, classic lightsaber forms. Like Kyle Katarn was not a form 4 & 5 master. Not at all.. He didn’t even know what those forms were. He very clearly mastered the 3 styles of the NJO that HE helped create. Which are basically watered down versions of forms 1 or 6, but nowhere near as complex as the classic forms.. The NJO Jedi were just not on the same level as the last Jedi of the old order. Kit Fisto or Mace Windu would absolutely slaughter Corran Horn or Kyle Katarn. Absolutely slaughter them. Especially Anakin & Yoda. Luke is the only one that could hang with them, and even then, he still isn’t the swordmaster his father or Yoda were.. Like Lucas said, they lived during the era of the greatest swordmasters in galactic history; an era packed full of master level duelists & martial artists.
Just to clarify before I get mauled by angry darksiders, when Evan and I say "Masters of Form I didn't think", we meant when they are at peak performance. We're not denying the likes of Kit Fisto's tactical ingenuity, he can and does think in combat, but true Shii-Cho masters cannot operate at the form's highest level without giving themselves over to randomised and wild movement, flowing with the currents of the Force. To try and consciously think about what your doing when going for randomisation is to sabotage your efforts. That being said, we don't believe Warb Null uses the philosophy of Shii-Cho, simply the technique's movesets, using the form as the foundation to build his own approach to lightsabre combat, so it's a general comment on the Form we were making, nothing particularly relevant to Null's own application of it.
Actually your assessment is basically confirmed in the Old EU. BEGIN CITATION Kit sat heavily, his smooth green forearms resting on his knees, sensor tendrils curling and questing like a nest of angry sand vipers. “I should have gone closer to the edge,” he said, the irises within the unblinking eyes expanding until they appeared to glow. “Released myself into the Force, become more unpredictable. More … random. Obi-Wan heard the concern in the Nautolan’s voice. Form I was wild, raw … and deadly. It also required too much emotional heat for Obi-Wan’s taste. “That would have been dangerous,” he said, choosing his words carefully. “Not to your body, perhaps, but to your spirit.” Kit looked up at him, irises contracting again. “It is the way of Form One.

I'm starting to read some of the stuff from the Clone Wars multimedia project. I've read Shatterpoint, Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, Labyrinth of Evil, and I'm about half way through Cestus Deception. Kinda wished I was more into it ten years ago, but I was more of a post-RotJ guy.
This fight seems a little one sided to me, A Jedi council member against a barely note worthy Sith warrior? I agree with the analysis but the match seems a bit mismatched.
Stopping lightsaber like stopping litesaber, Horn survived a friggin' explosion, saved entire district by redirecting all the energy to the sky and used it's power to plant illusion in all of the district citizens. Catching a lightsaber seems really small compared to that :)
I liked this video. Not because of the content, but because of the originality and articulation of the script. And the pace is nice. I think you should do your versus series matches like this more often. Just my opinion, but well done.
The only problem with doing Grievous is he doesn't possess any Force abilities. He was trained in Lightsaber combat and thats about it. And he a brilliant tactician.
Is there enough information on bardan's skillset ? Has he ever been depicted in a serious duel ? I don't remember any . If we had more information it would ve a very interesting matchup
@Wes Bradley-Taubner the thing is we don't know. We have never seen bardan take place in a single serious lightsaber duel. We don't know what form he uses, what are his responses in combat what are his force abilities nothing.
@Wes Bradley-Taubner yeah of course i agree I can't see him being stronger than someone like kyle. But i will say that he would probably be pretty damn good since he is a jedi mandalorian with like 40 years worth of training. He should be a beast but not kyle-corran-kyp level
I love how Corran made his lightsaber from a speeder bike handle so he could easily switch to the longer blade. And how awesome is it his main blade is silver!!?
Even despite result being quite obvious (combatants skills suggested it'll be simply a lightsaber duel and Horn basically outright annihilates most strenght oriented opponents) you made good notes on theor strenghts and weaknesses, making your video really good to watch. Good job and keep the videos coming :)
Agreed, this one was never going to be an interesting match-up in terms of outcome, but the two characters work well as a joint examination. That and Evan's passion can make anything interesting.
Nah, Im sure any force wielder can use it. I mean, it does involve the power of the force being channelled through their muscles, so I don't see why Horn couldn't use it.
He can't use the force to levitate himself. This error was because at the time it hadn't been established that Jedi can augment their physical abilities with the force but that they can do those flips and jumps by using tk to basically flt
I just had a bit of a nostalgia hit rewatching this. I spend decades reading books involving people like Corran Horn, Kyp Durron, Kyle Katarn, Lumiya and so on. I loved the New Jedi Order Timeline stories. So many years of story telling went into the classic EU, and now we`ll never see some of the stories finished. What happened to Jaden Korr, did it ever have any consequences that he was a clone? To what hights would Jaina and Ben rise? What happened to the lost tribe of the Sith? I am still sad that we won`t ever find out, and that we are now settled with a poor bunch of "new" stories that can`t even hope to do something that hasn`t already happened in some form or another in the classic EU. And I just can`t get into the "new" stuff, all those characters that I loved are now gone, I lost my connection to Star Wars :/ at least they are keeping some of the pre-clone-wars era EU, I hope they`ll make Revan definitive canon.
Wow Corran Horn sounds like exactly what I would be like as a Jedi, kind of a mixture of form 1 and 4 if you think about it with some elements of form 6 defence
EvanNova95 it's cool for the wait because as we all know how important patients are especially in the Star Wars Universe. I have thought it over and few things have come to mind. Battles: Darth Sidious vs Darth Krayt Darth Vader vs Darth Malgus Obi-Wan vs Kyle Katarn or Obi-Wan vs Darth Nihilus Stories: Obi Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Darth Sidious, or even Boba Fett Plus I thought of something interesting. Stories of some of the greatest battles in Star Wars history like the Battles of Yavin, Endor, Genosis, The Star Forge, Korriban, The Clone Wars etc. I know it looks like a while bunch like I said I'm just throwing it out there. JUst keep up the good work and I'll awaits to see what comes next
I'll be blunt, the only good idea you suggested was the telling of significant battles. Diamond Boys had it right, except he forgot to add that Nihilus would win against Kenobi too. And regarding the stories you suggested Evan should do, they're all really bad ideas, sorry. Why would he tell the stories of characters whose stories are some of the most well known in Star Wars lore? It'd be a waste of time for everybody. And with Boba Fett, practically all of his canon outside of his movie and TV appearances has been retconned, so there's no point in telling his story yet, because there'd be practically nothing canonical to tell. I'll end things on a good note though. Really, your idea for telling the stories of significant battles in galactic history... that is a really good and original idea.
qawsedf234 And unlike for example, Kreia praising Tulak Hord, Lumiya actually knew Vader because she was Vader's apprentice, so her words have far more credence to them than Kreia's on Hord.
As I think I've said before, Evan, you should consider your versus match-ups more carefully. I called this from just reading the title of the video. Still a good video as always, but just personally, I like watching these videos when I don't really have an idea of who would win. For example, with this video, I just skipped to the end result.
I know you probably get a lot of requests, and that I requested this before, but Warb Null versus General Grievous. The biggest reason not to was Warb Null's relative lack of speed compared to General Grievous, except Warb Null uses Shi Cho which gave Kit Fisto an advantage when he fought Grievous. Furthermore the general lack of speed can reasonably be balanced by Grievous' lack of Force abilities. C'mon. It'll be fun, it'll be fun, it'll be fun.
After hearing about Corran Horn's unorthodox Force abilities, I would absolutely love to see a versus between Corran Horn and Jax Pavan (As Pavan appeared during his fight against Darth Vader, after having absorbed the information from Ramage's Holocron.)
I would be highly interested by your take on non-force user fights, with fighters like General Grievous or Pre Vizsla to non-sword wielders like Mandalorians. Maybe use fighters like Mandalore the Ultimate, the Fetts, Durge, other skilled Bounty Hunters or even Yuuzhan Vang warriors like Shimrra Jamaane the Supreme Overlord. Would love to see a fight between both skillful tacticians General Grievous and Mandalore the Ultimate or Bounty Hunters Durge and Boba Fett.
Hey Evan, it would be really cool if you matched up, jedi knight, Anikan Skywalker and Darth Maul. I really want to see your perspective on who would win if the two ever crossed blades. Oh and if I might add, in the Star Wars episode 3 revenge of the sith novelization, Anikan was depicted using force fury or force rage with red aura around him, when he fought Darth Tyruanus. I add this because in other videos when Darth Vader is describe from previous history until his death, it is never stated that this power was in his arsenal as a jedi knight, I say jedi because I haven't read anything show casising this ability when he fully became Darth Vader. Anyways, think about, I hope you like the idea.
Great video evan I'm a huge fan of your work. I would like to make a suggestion on A future video, I think Darth Krayt vs Darth Tyrannus would be a great battle both are former Jedi turned Sith Lords and both appear in a wide variety of media so please think about it and if possible tell me what you think of the idea
As per usual, I really appreciate the highly focused and analytical approach you take to these match-ups. Another fine display of your skill as an analyst. Good work! Now, on a sidebar, as I mentioned in my comment on a different video, I'd like to somehow get in touch with you and bounce a few ideas off of you. (Sorry if I'm being a bit vague or cryptic.) Anyhow, if you would be willing to get in touch, let me know and we'll work out the finer details then. If you have some sort of personal policy against this, that's fine, just let me know and I'll go bother someone else. But finally, I would be remiss if I did not reiterate that I am a fan of your work and I'm always waiting on the edge of my seat for your next upload. Cheers!
These two are almost completely new to me. Sorry, I don't study everyone in the Star Wars universe So let's just see how this goes. 21:27-It's always good to see the hot Old Lady do her Jedi thing and dominate oponents. Okay, back to the battle. 31:34-I do like the long handled lighsaber he has. That thing is cool to have. It's not Vader's or nothing but it's still up there on the cool-o-meter.
I have experience with a few different weapons and I feel compelled to present something. The efficient use of a lightpike is only inefficient if the user has no idea what they're doing. The user is likely using a pike because they like it and are capable of using it to a comparable degree to their peers. For example: I can use a standard bo staff pretty well, using both ends to batter my enemy and defend but then if I slide my hands back close to one end I can jab and slash with one end and have a defensive side right next to my body making me potentially untouchable. The only reason a lightpike or other weapons with extended handles would be hampered would be if the handle was not made of a lightsaber resistant material and they tried to block with it and end up getting their weapon destroyed and themselves killed. Real-life example being trying to block a katana's blade with a rattan bo staff, rattan itself is a durable cousin to bamboo but it just isn't up to par. A weapon's only fault/failure lies in the user, not the tool.
I would even say, that a dark side use of the force as base method to channel the force absolutely prevents the optimal use of form one cuz that method works by means of asserting control over it. That's fundamentally opposed to giving up nearly or all control n basicly surrender to the flow of the force. Though i also think that he could likely have used form 5 rather than one, which is just as fitting to his frame n perfectly suited for a dark side fuled tank like fighter who doesn't have to waste much thought on defense at all. Not just would he think so probably due to reliance on the armor, but the way he got killed seems to proof that to b the case about him.
Great video, I've been waiting for one with Corran Horn! Have you ever thought about doing a battle with a Yuuzhan Vong on one or both sides? I can see how it would be very different and probably harder, but I'd be really interested to see it.
Cant believe this video is 2 years old. But in hindsight, Corran Horn is a lot more dangerous then many people believe. Considering his ancestor Nejaa Halcylon can block+absorb lightsabers with tutaminis is a feat that Corran Horn (who I believe is stronger than Nejaa) should be able to pull off and he stands as 1 of the greatest tutaminis masters in the EU. I don't remember when this happened but Corran Horn can use tutaminis to absorb tk energy and raise his force wall as a result which means he kind of like Kenobi. Passively, he sucks. Period. But his active def is a lot stronger than people think. Which made this matchup a mismatch for Warb Null. In a overall sense, I see Horn as a tier 2 council master (only due to his tk issues).
Great video as always, totally agree with the verdict. I have two questions: 1. Do you think someone like Kyle Katarn who states that force abilities are neither good or evil would stand by his statement in a way that he would even use it against another lightsider? 2. What do you think about Corran Horn and Kyp Durran vs Plo Koon and Kit Fisto? Is there an obvious victor or is it worth a closer look?
1. If necessary Yes, he uses any tool he can to get the Job done. 2. Kyp Durron (I actually did that match a while back), Plo Koon though with difficulty
EvanNova95 Interesting. Thank you for the answer! About the suggestions I think you misunderstood me. I meant a team battle where Koon and Fisto fight Horn and Durron. Two Jedi that were primarily swordfighters and users of the same style and two Jedi that were very good all- rounders. I have seen the match between Durron and Horn, that is why I want to know how they would fight as a team against Koon and Fisto.
4 things you must do: 1.Darth Cadeus vs Darth Maul 2.Leia Organa Solo Vs Darth Zannah 3.Darth Sidious vs Darth Krayt or Nihilus 4.Sora Bulq vs Pong Krell PLZ!!!! ;)
Why? The only potentially good match-up there is Vader vs. Malgus. Sidious destroys Krayt, and Obi-Wan has no defense against the sheer magnitude of Nihilus' power in the Force.
***** Right, but this isn't Jensaarai. I personally don't get why Star Wars versus video TH-camrs avoid doing match-ups that their peers have already done. It'd be cool to have different opinions.
***** Most of the time, I don't have the time to commit to their podcast videos. I'd love if they edited them to include highlights, or to cut out the useless parts... that'd take a while though I imagine.
Nice video, as usual! Maybe after season one of Rebels ends, maybe you could do a verses video with the Inquisitor? Please? Maybe you could have him vs. Maul?
Coran Horn has a huge weakness in Jedi/Sith Battles. He has no telekenetic ability at all. His illusion skills are his only defence to that. He therefore could be disarmed of his lightsaber at any point or even fall victim to direct force attacks for which his only defence is illusion. It is very double edged for him as his defence to force attacks is to mask himself in the force and project illusions of his possition and the success or failurer of the opponent attacks whilst maneuvering to strike his oponent.
Galen Marek vs Darth Caedus, also im confused as to whether galen is more of a lightsaber combat specialist(guardian) or more of a force wielder (consular)
What's the advantage of switching between the crimson and green crystals, I know the red crystal is very damaging and can "break" an opponents light saber at the cost of stability. What advantage does the green crystal pose.
Its a case of distraction. Rapidly switching from one color to the other aids in catching an opponent off guard. A minor advantage to be sure but in lightsaber dueling, a little can go a long way.
EvanNova95 First off: OHMYGOD EVAN REPLYED TO MY COMMENT YAY ASDGSIODJFOIJDIFJ!!!! :) :) :) Second off, I can't imagine it being that much of a distraction with a single opponent, (larger groups I can see it playing a much more meaningful role), but with single opponents a simple change in color, (with the exception of some of the traits of the crimson crystal), unless the opponent has a green crystal in which it could very well confuse them, I don't see any real advantage in it since, especially with a semi-skilled single opponent with enough focus could ward off such distractions, and if they were, speed and agility would be required to take advantage of the very short time span the opponent might be offset. But that's just how I see it in the case of single opponents. Multiple opponents, yeah that could definently be effective. Great video by the way, and one more thing. Are there other characteristics about individual crystal types besides color, such as with the crimson? Because I recall in your Galen Marek video stating that Malek's switch to blue made his blade much more stable and thus much more easily handled and percise.
ColonialFungus Yes, they are very rare but there are famous crystals that provide unique benefits, such as The Solari Crystal, The Kybar Crystal, The Bane's Heart Crystal, Hurrikaine crystals, The Mantle of the Force Crystal, Lambent Crystals, ect.
Evan and Jensaarai don't like to use non-force sensitive characters. Could be wrong, but I think that's why you don't see them use Jango Fett, Boba Fett, or Grievous.
My prediction is that Corran Horn will win. Warb Null was a tank but Corran Horn was the battlemaster at one point right? And he's so damn creative with his force powers. Corran Horn.
Question, So the EU is just fan fiction now right? Because Disney said that none of these people or stories ever happened. Or are we just ignoring them and pretending that this is still the official story?
I am terribly sorry for the delay in the the release of this video, but a few days ago I experienced an unexpected computer crash that erased all my progress and forced me to completely restart the editing process. Thank-you for your patience and again I apologize

Words cannot describe how glad I am to see someone else notice this fact. It's amused me for years.

AND he's incredibly physically capable of taking on the toughest of opponents.

Corran Horn vs. Ulic Qeldroma?
IronLion1914 that would be cool

love this battle but I honestly thought this was just a bit too one sided.
Bardan Jusik vs Kyle Katarn - Jedi turned Mercenary (specifically a Mandalorian) vs Mercenary turned Jedi
Is there enough information on bardan's skillset ? Has he ever been depicted in a serious duel ? I don't remember any . If we had more information it would ve a very interesting matchup
Thing is, jusik has mando armour. That's a pretty huge advantage.

Nah, Im sure any force wielder can use it. I mean, it does involve the power of the force being channelled through their muscles, so I don't see why Horn couldn't use it.

Your choice of music is very fitting for the video, well done! Asajj Ventress vs Darth Maul would be my pick, and would seem pretty close to me!
I just had a bit of a nostalgia hit rewatching this. I spend decades reading books involving people like Corran Horn, Kyp Durron, Kyle Katarn, Lumiya and so on. I loved the New Jedi Order Timeline stories. So many years of story telling went into the classic EU, and now we`ll never see some of the stories finished.

Epic one !!! Kyle Katarn and Jaden Korr vs. Jerec and Desann !! A lot Jedi Knight fans will like to see this :D
Kam Solusar VS Plo Koon
This needs more attention. This needs to be done.
Yes I agree
That's actually a very interesting one
i think ill try to make my own Versus series when im done moving.
Til then, do something with Darth Caedus if you get the chance
Bounty Hunter Commander Durge vs Boba Fett
damn, with Jedis like Corran Horne and Kyle Katarn, Luke's order had some awesome bladesmen.
I still wanna see a story on k'kruhk who was a Jedi master with a lot of back story and history
I'm liking it so far. Great work. This series continues to impress me!
Jacen Solo was my favorite. Lets see more versus series with him. Like...
Jacen Solo vs. Darth Krayt
Cade Skywalker VS Lucien Draay
Cade would probably win that. He has the dark transfer move, and he could possibly take advantage of Shii-Cho's weakness against single opponents.
Wow Corran Horn sounds like exactly what I would be like as a Jedi, kind of a mixture of form 1 and 4 if you think about it with some elements of form 6 defence

And regarding the stories you suggested Evan should do, they're all really bad ideas, sorry. Why would he tell the stories of characters whose stories are some of the most well known in Star Wars lore? It'd be a waste of time for everybody. And with Boba Fett, practically all of his canon outside of his movie and TV appearances has been retconned, so there's no point in telling his story yet, because there'd be practically nothing canonical to tell.
I'll end things on a good note though. Really, your idea for telling the stories of significant battles in galactic history... that is a really good and original idea.
I could see a video on Darth Sidious. While his late life is well known his early life and his resurrection are somewhat obscure.
Corran Horn has this one in the bag.
Cade Skywalker VS Mace Windu
Jacen solo vs anakin skywalker :D!!!!!
Amazin!!!!
EvanNova95 do this please.
Jacen Solo from what time period? If it's Caedus versus ROTS Anakin/Vader for example, Caedus EASILY wins.
Yeah, didn't Darth Lumiya say that Caedus had surpassed Vader is every way? So if it's Caedus vs any form of Anakin or Vader he'll win.
qawsedf234
And unlike for example, Kreia praising Tulak Hord, Lumiya actually knew Vader because she was Vader's apprentice, so her words have far more credence to them than Kreia's on Hord.
As I think I've said before, Evan, you should consider your versus match-ups more carefully. I called this from just reading the title of the video. Still a good video as always, but just personally, I like watching these videos when I don't really have an idea of who would win. For example, with this video, I just skipped to the end result.
Thanks for this video Evan!
I'm wondering if your using Kia-Adi-Mundi this season, considering he is an interesting character in the series.
I know you probably get a lot of requests, and that I requested this before, but Warb Null versus General Grievous. The biggest reason not to was Warb Null's relative lack of speed compared to General Grievous, except Warb Null uses Shi Cho which gave Kit Fisto an advantage when he fought Grievous. Furthermore the general lack of speed can reasonably be balanced by Grievous' lack of Force abilities. C'mon. It'll be fun, it'll be fun, it'll be fun.
After hearing about Corran Horn's unorthodox Force abilities, I would absolutely love to see a versus between Corran Horn and Jax Pavan (As Pavan appeared during his fight against Darth Vader, after having absorbed the information from Ramage's Holocron.)
I would be highly interested by your take on non-force user fights, with fighters like General Grievous or Pre Vizsla to non-sword wielders like Mandalorians. Maybe use fighters like Mandalore the Ultimate, the Fetts, Durge, other skilled Bounty Hunters or even Yuuzhan Vang warriors like Shimrra Jamaane the Supreme Overlord. Would love to see a fight between both skillful tacticians General Grievous and Mandalore the Ultimate or Bounty Hunters Durge and Boba Fett.
Really big fan of the versus series so I thought I would leave some suggestions:
Plo koon vs Darth malgus
Tera sinube vs darth tenebrous
Good stuff, as usual, mate. Didn't know either of them, but I learned a lot today. Thanks.
What an interesting matchup with these two, both lacking skill with telekinesis. Great pairing!
I love all the Halo music you use. Great videos, you have.
Hey Evan, it would be really cool if you matched up, jedi knight, Anikan Skywalker and Darth Maul. I really want to see your perspective on who would win if the two ever crossed blades. Oh and if I might add, in the Star Wars episode 3 revenge of the sith novelization, Anikan was depicted using force fury or force rage with red aura around him, when he fought Darth Tyruanus. I add this because in other videos when Darth Vader is describe from previous history until his death, it is never stated that this power was in his arsenal as a jedi knight, I say jedi because I haven't read anything show casising this ability when he fully became Darth Vader. Anyways, think about, I hope you like the idea.
Great vid Evan!
Woww,good video,keep up the awesome work
It's about time Corran won one of these XD
@West Bradley-Taubner This comment is five years old. You okay pal?
Nice Halo Wars soundtrack.
I'm still DYING to know the song he used for the verdict. He used in his Atris vs Nomi Sunrider video. My life isn't complete until I find it.
Great video evan I'm a huge fan of your work. I would like to make a suggestion on A future video, I think Darth Krayt vs Darth Tyrannus would be a great battle both are former Jedi turned Sith Lords and both appear in a wide variety of media so please think about it and if possible tell me what you think of the idea
Can you please do a plo koon vs lord scourge please 😇
how about another team battle:Kyp Durron, Legends Luke Skywalker, and Kyle Katarn vs Darth Malgus, Darth Bane and Darth Sidious?
Maybe next time do a at his prime Obi-Wan against Luke Skywalker, or Corran Horn vs. Qui-Gon.
As per usual, I really appreciate the highly focused and analytical approach you take to these match-ups. Another fine display of your skill as an analyst. Good work! Now, on a sidebar, as I mentioned in my comment on a different video, I'd like to somehow get in touch with you and bounce a few ideas off of you. (Sorry if I'm being a bit vague or cryptic.) Anyhow, if you would be willing to get in touch, let me know and we'll work out the finer details then. If you have some sort of personal policy against this, that's fine, just let me know and I'll go bother someone else. But finally, I would be remiss if I did not reiterate that I am a fan of your work and I'm always waiting on the edge of my seat for your next upload. Cheers!
These two are almost completely new to me. Sorry, I don't study everyone in the Star Wars universe So let's just see how this goes. 21:27-It's always good to see the hot Old Lady do her Jedi thing and dominate oponents. Okay, back to the battle. 31:34-I do like the long handled lighsaber he has. That thing is cool to have. It's not Vader's or nothing but it's still up there on the cool-o-meter.
I have experience with a few different weapons and I feel compelled to present something. The efficient use of a lightpike is only inefficient if the user has no idea what they're doing. The user is likely using a pike because they like it and are capable of using it to a comparable degree to their peers. For example: I can use a standard bo staff pretty well, using both ends to batter my enemy and defend but then if I slide my hands back close to one end I can jab and slash with one end and have a defensive side right next to my body making me potentially untouchable. The only reason a lightpike or other weapons with extended handles would be hampered would be if the handle was not made of a lightsaber resistant material and they tried to block with it and end up getting their weapon destroyed and themselves killed. Real-life example being trying to block a katana's blade with a rattan bo staff, rattan itself is a durable cousin to bamboo but it just isn't up to par. A weapon's only fault/failure lies in the user, not the tool.
I would even say, that a dark side use of the force as base method to channel the force absolutely prevents the optimal use of form one cuz that method works by means of asserting control over it. That's fundamentally opposed to giving up nearly or all control n basicly surrender to the flow of the force.
Though i also think that he could likely have used form 5 rather than one, which is just as fitting to his frame n perfectly suited for a dark side fuled tank like fighter who doesn't have to waste much thought on defense at all. Not just would he think so probably due to reliance on the armor, but the way he got killed seems to proof that to b the case about him.
Halo Wars music :D I've played that game for 6 years, I'd know it anywhere. Stephen Rippy rules!
is it the song at the end
@@adamniccum8680 Yup, it is. Although not the verdict song. I'm still trying to find that one...
Great video, I've been waiting for one with Corran Horn! Have you ever thought about doing a battle with a Yuuzhan Vong on one or both sides? I can see how it would be very different and probably harder, but I'd be really interested to see it.
Cant believe this video is 2 years old. But in hindsight, Corran Horn is a lot more dangerous then many people believe. Considering his ancestor Nejaa Halcylon can block+absorb lightsabers with tutaminis is a feat that Corran Horn (who I believe is stronger than Nejaa) should be able to pull off and he stands as 1 of the greatest tutaminis masters in the EU. I don't remember when this happened but Corran Horn can use tutaminis to absorb tk energy and raise his force wall as a result which means he kind of like Kenobi. Passively, he sucks. Period. But his active def is a lot stronger than people think. Which made this matchup a mismatch for Warb Null. In a overall sense, I see Horn as a tier 2 council master (only due to his tk issues).
Great video as always, totally agree with the verdict.
I have two questions:
1. Do you think someone like Kyle Katarn who states that force abilities are neither good or evil would stand by his statement in a way that he would even use it against another lightsider?
2. What do you think about Corran Horn and Kyp Durran vs Plo Koon and Kit Fisto? Is there an obvious victor or is it worth a closer look?
1. If necessary Yes, he uses any tool he can to get the Job done.
2. Kyp Durron (I actually did that match a while back), Plo Koon though with difficulty
EvanNova95
Interesting. Thank you for the answer!
About the suggestions I think you misunderstood me.
I meant a team battle where Koon and Fisto fight Horn and Durron. Two Jedi that were primarily swordfighters and users of the same style and two Jedi that were very good all- rounders.
I have seen the match between Durron and Horn, that is why I want to know how they would fight as a team against Koon and Fisto.
NoHarmony Ohh, ok sorry about the misunderstanding
EvanNova95
Well... not meaning to be rude or impatient but do you have an oppinion on that double battle?
Awesome video mate. :D
Can you pls do a video which contains Kol or Nat Skywalker?^^
EvanNova95 PLEASE READ THIS!!, I just wanted to ask if you can or if u have plans to do for us the History of Darth Marr, thanks alot!
Do you have any plans to use Neeja Halcyon if you could get the info for him that is
I really like the music used in your versus videos. Where can you find it?
The music is use is from a few different sources, Halo, BattleStar Galactica, Attack on Titan..ect.
EvanNova95
Cool. Thanks, dude.
Will you use cam soulsar in one of your videos?
Mara Jade Skywalker VS An'ya Kuro
Love the series. Please consider Darth Tyra as a combatant.
4 things you must do:
1.Darth Cadeus vs Darth Maul
2.Leia Organa Solo Vs Darth Zannah
3.Darth Sidious vs Darth Krayt or Nihilus
4.Sora Bulq vs Pong Krell
PLZ!!!! ;)
1: Darth Caedus
2: I would like to see that
3: Darth Sidious in both fights
4: I would also like to see that
1.) Darth Cadeus
2.) Darth Zannah
3.) Darth Sidious
4.) We don't know much about Krell but I would say Sora Bulq would win that fight anyway.
To be honest I think Krell is adept in Shien and Ataru, he also makes more use of the force than Sora Bulq.
Also, about Darth Zannah vs Leia Oragana solo, don't forget she's a Skywalker.
Yeah.. but Darth Zannah is pretty tough.
Warb Null vs. Darth Vader, please.
Darth Vader takes the majority in that match up.
Vader no question
Corran Horn vs Mace Windu
hey evan im not sure if this match up would be uneven (I don't know much about Warb Null but I would like to sugest warb null vs Ahsoka Tahno
it is uneven. Warb stomps
Exar Kun vs Darth Maul!
HarbingerOfBattle one sided, Exar Kun wins
I'd say go with what vdragon12 said.
Darth sidious vs Darth krayt
Darth vader vs Darth malgus
Obi-wan Kenobi vs Darth nihilus.
Why? The only potentially good match-up there is Vader vs. Malgus.
Sidious destroys Krayt, and Obi-Wan has no defense against the sheer magnitude of Nihilus' power in the Force.
*****
Right, but this isn't Jensaarai. I personally don't get why Star Wars versus video TH-camrs avoid doing match-ups that their peers have already done. It'd be cool to have different opinions.
*****
Most of the time, I don't have the time to commit to their podcast videos. I'd love if they edited them to include highlights, or to cut out the useless parts... that'd take a while though I imagine.
Starkiller vs Satia Shan.
Hey Evan, how about doing a corran horn vs obiwan (rots) vid?
Why has no one done a Revan vs The Exile (Meetra Surik) ?! Please do this Vs!
Probably because the Revan novel basically said that Revan > Meetra. That and the Exile doesn't have too many measurable feats.
Yeah, it's pretty much canon that Meetra was just a little bit under Revan.
Nice video, as usual!
Maybe after season one of Rebels ends, maybe you could do a verses video with the Inquisitor? Please? Maybe you could have him vs. Maul?
maul stomps. Not even close dude. The inquisitors in rebels are literally low to mid level knights
Darth bane vs darth caedus ps I love your videos
Coran Horn has a huge weakness in Jedi/Sith Battles. He has no telekenetic ability at all. His illusion skills are his only defence to that. He therefore could be disarmed of his lightsaber at any point or even fall victim to direct force attacks for which his only defence is illusion. It is very double edged for him as his defence to force attacks is to mask himself in the force and project illusions of his possition and the success or failurer of the opponent attacks whilst maneuvering to strike his oponent.
Could Warb Null switch his lightsaber length mid fight like Corran Horn that would seem to be an advantage in horns favor?
Can you please make a story of obi-wan kenobi's history like you did general grievous id like to know thank you
EvanNova95 could you do a Darth Vader vs Darth Malgus matchup?
Ever thought of doing versus videos between two non force users? Like Boba Fett vs. Cade Bane, for example.
I love your content! Keep it up
So I'm kinda wondering if there might be enough room on TH-cam for another vs vid maker? Thoughts?
When corran horns back story is being told, what is the music in the background. It sounds familiar but i cant pit my finger on it
Galen Marek vs Darth Caedus, also im confused as to whether galen is more of a lightsaber combat specialist(guardian) or more of a force wielder (consular)
What's the advantage of switching between the crimson and green crystals, I know the red crystal is very damaging and can "break" an opponents light saber at the cost of stability. What advantage does the green crystal pose.
Its a case of distraction. Rapidly switching from one color to the other aids in catching an opponent off guard. A minor advantage to be sure but in lightsaber dueling, a little can go a long way.
EvanNova95 First off: OHMYGOD EVAN REPLYED TO MY COMMENT YAY ASDGSIODJFOIJDIFJ!!!! :) :) :)
Second off, I can't imagine it being that much of a distraction with a single opponent, (larger groups I can see it playing a much more meaningful role), but with single opponents a simple change in color, (with the exception of some of the traits of the crimson crystal), unless the opponent has a green crystal in which it could very well confuse them, I don't see any real advantage in it since, especially with a semi-skilled single opponent with enough focus could ward off such distractions, and if they were, speed and agility would be required to take advantage of the very short time span the opponent might be offset.
But that's just how I see it in the case of single opponents. Multiple opponents, yeah that could definently be effective.
Great video by the way, and one more thing. Are there other characteristics about individual crystal types besides color, such as with the crimson? Because I recall in your Galen Marek video stating that Malek's switch to blue made his blade much more stable and thus much more easily handled and percise.
ColonialFungus Yes, they are very rare but there are famous crystals that provide unique benefits, such as The Solari Crystal, The Kybar Crystal, The Bane's Heart Crystal, Hurrikaine crystals, The Mantle of the Force Crystal, Lambent Crystals, ect.
ColonialFungus The lightsaber's green and red ends are seperate, so changing ends along with colors can employ for a much larger distraction
here are some suggestions: Darth Talon VS Githany
Darth Bane VS Darth Vitate
Ki Mundi VS Vrook Lamar
Reborn Palpatine VS Satele Shan
well done evan good job how bout kryat vs palpantine
Could you consider Ki-adi-mundi vs. Dark Lord Kopecz?
Could you do Darth Vader vs Darth Malgus?
IS there any Warb Null 'red' light saber for sale?
Great battle Evan. I was thinking you could do Darth Caedus versus Revan
I think someone else already did that. Granted, however, the quality wasn't very good.
Revan's overrated, and Caedus is among the most powerful Sith in the Star Wars universe, so yeah... Caedus would win.
Again, please explain why in detail.
Tekki 7^3
What do you mean, "again."
And what am I explaining "again"?
My bad, I messed up. I meant please explain the me how Caedus would win against Revan in a battle.
obi wan vs darth malak
Do more versus series with Darth Malgus or Darth Plagueis.
@West Bradley-Taubner I wrote this 5 years ago. You didn't even spell Plagueis right.
@West Bradley-Taubner No, lol. Read again. I wrote PLAGUEIS. You wrote PLAGUIES.
@West Bradley-Taubner My phone corrected it because I actually know how to spell it.
Great vid.
You should do a series about non force users like Jango vs boba or something like that
Evan and Jensaarai don't like to use non-force sensitive characters. Could be wrong, but I think that's why you don't see them use Jango Fett, Boba Fett, or Grievous.
Ok
Keep an eye out for Season 5, you may just get your wish. :)
Yay!
Rex Vs Boba Fett?
My prediction is that Corran Horn will win. Warb Null was a tank but Corran Horn was the battlemaster at one point right? And he's so damn creative with his force powers. Corran Horn.
I would think a decent match could be Master Mace Windu VS Master Corran Horn
Question, So the EU is just fan fiction now right? Because Disney said that none of these people or stories ever happened. Or are we just ignoring them and pretending that this is still the official story?
we're ignoring disney because they're shit.
