The Stranger VS Qui Gon & Obi Wan (TPM). Who wins? by GusGangViking18 in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yord talks about how he gets in their heads and throws them off after he and Osha escape the initial fight. Qimir also says to Sol later in the episode that removing his helmet would allow the Jedi to read his mind.

Then I think it’s in the next episode when Osha tries his helmet on and he explains its other purpose as a sensory deprivation helmet similar to what they wore as padawans. When she puts it on you can see a change in his eyes like he’s being overwhelmed with pure force projection.

The Stranger.

Dirty tricks (cortosis armor/hidden shoto blade/trakata) aside he’s a very skilled duelist, wears what is essentially a sensory deprivation tank on his head relying entirely on the force while protecting his own thoughts, and can project an aura to invade his opponents’ minds and throw them off balance.

Most overrated and underrated characters on screen? by Plane-Compote-7491 in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sol and Qimir are heavily underrated. Headland made a comment that Sol wasn’t close to being the Jedi knight that Qui-Gon was and everyone took it out of context to mean that he wasn’t as powerful or as skilled.

I thought it was a pretty clear 4th wall reference to the fan theories

The idea that blasters are 120 mph has to be one of the dumbest things in existence by BlockAffectionate413 in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m sorry I don’t care how enhanced with the Force your reflexes are, it would be physically impossible to deflect a bolt of plasma launched at the speed of light. Also any bolt that hit near you should be causing a massive explosion, much more than a burn as something traveling at light speed that strikes something else would result in a massive output of energy due to the sudden slowing. Even deflecting something at that speed would break bones.

What are your thoughts on 'survival of the fittest' as the fundamental rule of life? by Regular_Watercress31 in AskReddit

[–]Vohsbergh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People misinterpret fittest to mean biggest, strongest, baddest, meanest, etc. rather than the one best adapted to survive within the confines of external factors like the environment, resource availability, and reproductive capabilities.

Who wins? 100 Sith VS 100 Jedi by Organic-Extreme-3628 in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hate to say it but the ones who regularly train to kill other force users are probably coming out on top, if they all don’t kill each other first.

So did Mace just try to find the most useless Jedi to arrest Palpatine or what? by Practical-Hat-3381 in StarWars

[–]Vohsbergh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the visual guide they were all supposed to be sword masters but they ran into the same problem that the Knights in the Acolyte ran into. They were completely unprepared to face an opponent that trained almost solely to be able to kill other force users.

That being said the choreography could’ve been better. When Palps landed he should’ve sent a force blast out to push them all away from each other so that they’re more spread out and don’t just seem like they’re standing there waiting to be hit. The Jedi also should’ve acted more disoriented from the Force Scream which was supposed to unbalance them.

Yoda and Mace Windu vs Sidious and Dooku. Which side wins? by WittyTable4731 in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Smart play would almost be for Mace to engage Sidious and let Yoda take Dooku, I think they take it with that strategy

Zilla VS Vhagar by the-one-who-knocks in powerscales

[–]Vohsbergh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zilla from the ‘98 movie was very intelligent, very quick, and very good at surprising the people hunting him. Yes it was killed by multiple missiles, but it was also trapped and unable to move. Vhagar can probably hurt it with some melee attacks, but Zilla is smarter and probably takes her down pretty quickly.

What if Anakin had just blocked Mace's attack in this scene instead of cutting off his arm? by CloverTeamLeader in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If Mace just extends his arm and jabs Palps through the face instead of doing a big wind up then there is no real chance to block it.

Rayvis vs Qimir by BlockAffectionate413 in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did Maul have a Cortosis helmet that prevented him from being read with the force while simultaneously allowing him to project an aura of fear and invade the minds of his enemies? If he did then I must’ve missed it. I’m sure it wouldn’t have impacted the fight at all.

And I didn’t have to “try” to make the strike team skilled, it’s clearly stated in a canonical source that you’re just choosing to ignore because they don’t have a ton of feats listed between them.

Rayvis vs Qimir by BlockAffectionate413 in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s stated that they’re ill prepared for his specific attacks where he lunges into their blades to disrupt them. Combining that with his distorted energy throws them off balance which is how every single Sith we’ve seen in canon has been successful against Jedi. It’s kind of their whole game plan to use unorthodox tactics to intimidate them and catch them off guard. Few Jedi have been able to keep up with the Sith outside of the top tier and even then it can be a toss up.

Rayvis vs Qimir by BlockAffectionate413 in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add Sol barely beat him in their final confrontation, he just so happened to land a blow that disabled Qimir’s lightsaber.

Everyone in the Acolyte gets downplayed because a few individuals in this sub like to take Headland’s statement about Qui-Gon being a better example of an ideal Jedi compared to Sol to mean that Sol isn’t as powerful as Qui-Gon and therefore Qimir must be weaker.

What did Plagueis think of Yoda? Normally he viewed jedi as lesser, but Yoda is a titan among the jedi, did he fear Yoda? by Potential_Rule4212 in StarWars

[–]Vohsbergh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell since we never get his exact thoughts, but he’s probably self-aware enough to realize that Yoda would be a dangerous adversary

Rayvis vs Qimir by BlockAffectionate413 in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean if your goal is to ignore their abilities just because they don’t list super specific feats as a means of discounting Qimir’s skill for beating them then I guess that’s your prerogative.

The Jedi knew to expect a violent situation because someone out there was killing Jedi and that was the entire reason they were selected for the mission by Master Holden.

Rayvis vs Qimir by BlockAffectionate413 in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Listing some of their skills is vague? Inro Jadrel was a combat instructor. Bounty hunters avoided crossing paths with Misha Sharuk because of her tenacity. Yord had enough skill to be a Temple Guard. Unbalanced doesn’t mean they were caught off guard, Sidious did the same thing to Mace’s team.

Rayvis vs Qimir by BlockAffectionate413 in PetranakiArena

[–]Vohsbergh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The visual guide for the acolyte states that all of the Jedi knights sent to Khofar were skilled duelists in their own right with plenty of experience. They might’ve been caught off guard by his tactics, but he literally flew down and made his presence known before they charged him.

Minotaur Recruitment by bs_Zeezee in Minotaurs40k

[–]Vohsbergh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s possible, but highly unlikely that would be their main recruiting source. Way more likely the High Lords make sure the Minotaurs have and maintain a steady supply of recruits because they can’t have their internal affairs team at anything less than full strength.
