Beniboybling Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Did Canderous prove his mettle for the mask or was it just handed to him on a silver platter?I think there are differing stories on how he got his mask, but I also recall Mandalorians challenging him when he claimed to be Mandalore. I imagine if there was someone better than him, they would have come out and beaten him. Anymore thoughts on this then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been busy getting some RL stuff for the past week or so, so I haven't had time. I've managed to get that out of the way though, so I'm putting that time back into the Most Powerful, should definitely get something up this week.

MadDutchman Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Seems not much discussion here hmm. But expected. Ya, these aren't the most exciting characters, and it's hard with so little concrete evidence of Canderous' ability to develop any real arguments.

cs_zoltan Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Eh, the only thing I'd like to add that Canderous survived the fight with Nihilus, who even when weakened ***** on anyone here power-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfninjajedi Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Eh, the only thing I'd like to add that Canderous survived the fight with Nihilus, who even when weakened ***** on anyone here power-wise. Problem with this though....show me a source that actually states Canderous was actually in the fight. Because as far as Sources go, it's only noted that the Exile and Visas were in the fight, no mention of Mandalore at all. The game forces you to bring him along, because the Mandalorians have the proton charges...ok so whose to say while Mandalore and his Mandos were busy dealing with the Sith Troops aboard, that the Exile and Visas didn't confront him? In fact, that what the source says, that only the Exile and Visas confronted him together. Although Darth Nihilus managed to stun the Exile, he was unprepared for the devotion of his former pupil Marr to the young woman. Marr tried to exchange her life for that of the Exile, giving the former Jedi time to recover. Together, they confronted Darth Nihilus. The Sith Lord was no match for their combined might, and he fell in battle. --Taken from The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia Hm? Because realistically, it makes no sense for Mandalore to be involved in that fight at all...period. There's also the note, that Kanos could replicate the same thing anyway since he is superior across the board.

Beniboybling Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I agree with Zoltan, no way can Kanos withstand the powers of Darth Nihilus. Edited February 24, 2016 by Beniboybling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfninjajedi Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I agree with Zoltan, no way can Kanos withstand the powers of Darth Nihilus. Zoltan never said that, just that Canderous survived which is game only, source says different and in Sources, nowhere it says Mandalore actually encountered Nihilus. So therefore, no...no Mandalore didn't survive anything. Now Beni, how long are you gonna drag this out? Because even you should know that this is really one sided with the terrible lack of....well anything in Mandalore's favor.

raandomname Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Didnt Nihilus like kill an entire planet by holding a speech and wouldnt that mean that even being on the same ship as him is an impressive endurance feat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mandalorians and other Sith forces aboard didn't seem to have any trouble, so I'm not sure it's really anything great. Plus Mandalore opted for he and his Mandos to go aboard the Ravager, instead of TSF and Onderon forces, implying there wasn't any real danger with being aboard the ship. The only thing we have as far as anything bad is Tobin, but he was in Nihilus' presence and driven man rather than just being on the ship Edited February 24, 2016 by Wolfninjajedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDutchman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'm not very familiar with Sing, but her and Bane would probably give Vos a run for his money, though I doubt they could finish him off. When fighting Jedi, both seem to rely a lot on surprise, without that, they'll have to work for a living. If Vos starts getting overwhelmed, he could probably just run without much trouble. Ventress is already gone, so we can't expect help from her, but Atton might seize the moment to take more pot shots at Sing. I imagine he doesn't like being shot at.

karadron Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'm going to give props for Vos here. He's not getting killed here. He did survive Order 66, which saw worse odds for him than this. I'd say that if someone has to die here then I'd say it would be Sing. Bane has more respectable showings than her, and Aayla Secura (who was Vos's apprentice) could have killed her in one part of the Clone Wars, but didn't, so I'd say Vos could more than replicate that especially since Sing doesn't have the element of surprise.
