Introductory

Blademaster Kas'im :

"Kas'im had trained his entire life for this moment. After years of study, he'd mastered all seven forms of the lightsaber. Then he'd honed his skill for decades, perfecting every move and sequence until he had become the perfect weapon and the greatest living swordsman in the galaxy."

Battlemaster Kao Cen Darach :

"Rigid in his beliefs, Master Kao had caused friction in the political reality of Coruscant. Perhaps that was why he was assigned to the remote security outpost over Korriban, or perhaps he had foreseen what was to come and asked for the responsibility. [...] Darth Malgus would've killed me then and there were it not for my master, Kao."

For every era of war, chaos and fragmentation breeds and calls upon the rise of extraordinary men. For Times of chaos produce heroes as chinese history would say.

These 2 individuals have often been touted as esteemed bladesman of their respective eras if not all eras by few if not all members of the subreddit and I wonder, who would win between these 2 swordsmans?

Be it in technical skills, force powers or even just "feats", i wonder who you guys would vote for and what reasons provided if there are any

Who Would Win? Why?

Bonus questions;

1. If you think Kas'im would win easily, add Return Cinematic Satele into the equation
2. If you think Kao Cen Darach could win, what about adding someone like Githany into the equation

It’s been a long time since I read the series, but I don’t recall the main cast ever actually fighting Brakiss themselves during the first arc of the series - only Luke does. While Brakiss obviously outclasses them individually in terms of skill, I feel like all five of them teaming up against him would at least be enough to ensure their survival…

Battle takes on katou

Who will be hunted?

Canon fight

Round 1: Jedi Fallen Order Merrin VS Early Clone Wars Barriss (Season 1~4)

Round 2: Jedi Survivor Merrin VS Late Clone Wars Barriss (Season 5~7) (After she fell to the dark side)

Battle takes place in the Rhen Var Sanctuary. If possible. Well-thought-out answers are always very welcome, since it makes the debates way more fun. May the force be with you all, always.

Was her death inevitable or it was really close to kill vader?

I found both fight is really similar

-in first, they fought vader but overwhelmed by force(ahsoka was force pushed and karbin crushed by large stone statue, his one arm cut off)

-later, they damaged vader with single hit while vader is distracted by other thing(holocron and illusion)

-after damaging vader, they fight vader for long time but ultimately defeated

But difference is

-as vader got stronger in ANH

-ahsoka didnt take much damage from falling(she needed time but she seems perfectly fine when she returned), but karbin's damage was probably making his capability lower

-ahsoka was overwhelmed by vader and about to be killed by lightsaber combat , but vader needed aphra's ship to kill karbin

So, maybe hot take but karbin >= ahsoka

And, Grievous was mentioned as samely threatening as karbin in helmet collection 31. So, grievous upscaling

Cylo said that karbin is improved version of grievous but I dont think he is stronger overall

1. Karbin have jetpack

2. Karbin dont cough every 5 second(which was happened to grievous because of incompatibility between flesh and machine)

3. Karbin lack dooku's training and he not trained as long as grievous did.(he spent two years for traning and vader was first opponent)

4. Karbin lack experience of grievous(karbin is really arrogant because vader is his first opponent and he is proud of his cybernetic body, which leads to he crushed by statue and lose his one arm. Grievous is arrogant also but he fought with jedi numerous time and he dont underestimate power of force, that is why he running away always)

So, final outcome is

Karbin=Grievous>=rebels ahsoka

Do you agree?

Who wins in a lightsaber duel? I know the characters are different from Legends and Canon.

I see people downplay Cere in this fight more often than not. I’ve never personally seen any reason to believe it’s an unfair fight. Am I missing something? TIA

Who wins and what diff?
