@@yrooxrksvi7142 Id like to add SW Visions to good Disney characters but not only are they non-canon, but are inconsistent. Some of the shorts I loved, others are meh.
Here was an essay I wrote a while back about Malak vs Dooku when Evan first announced this match up: *1. Physical round:* Darth Malak. Malak wins this by a landslide. He's younger, stronger and definitely more agile than Dooku. The Count himself is in his 80s and has stamina problems while Malak could outlast him in a war of attrition. Also, Malak can take more punishment than Dooku can endure while the elderly Sith would simply get beaten into submission. While Malak suffers from dark side degradation and Dooku doesn't, this doesn't appear to hamper him in the slightest; Malak still runs and jumps as fine as any other Sith Lord in peak physical condition would. In the initial stages of their duel, they would be evenly matched in terms of physical stats. But as the fight wears on, Dooku's mounting exhaustion will gradually give Malak the edge. Advantage to Malak. *2. Martial Arts round:* Count Dooku. Dooku takes this one, but only by a slight margin. Both he and Malak specialize in Makashi so they will have to be very creative if they want to outthink the other because both of them will know what to expect. Dooku held his own against Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Mace Windu, the best duelists with Soresu, Ataru and Juyo respectively so Dooku can definitely contend with Malak's Makashi-Ataru-Juyo hybrid style. However, Dooku's pure focus on Makashi means that he isn't bringing anything that Malak hasn't already seen before, and Malak could unload on Dooku a la ROTS Anakin style and stomp him. But Malak's offense comes at the expense of his defense, so his lack of defense also plays into Dooku's focus on subverting his opponent's defenses Any mistake on Malak's part would result in his defeat. Worse for Malak, Dooku can stand his ground against highly aggressive fighters who are significantly younger, stronger and faster than him like Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress; if Dooku can last long enough for Malak to slip up, he will exploit his mistake and win. Especially since the Count's defensive viability is better than Malak's. Plus, Dooku's dual-phase curved-hilt lightsaber gives him a weapon advantage over Malak's relatively conventional lightsaber. But make no mistake, Malak is merely at a disadvantage and the possibility of him beating Dooku in a pure lightsaber duel is well within the realm of possibility as he has fought against Jedi who are just as good as Dooku like the Redeemed Revan, who was stated to be stronger than Darth Revan, and Kavar, a Jedi Battlemaster and the Jedi the Mandalorians expected to face and to be the leader of the Jedi forces had the Order intervened in the Mandalorian Wars. In the case of Redeemed Revan, I would like to point out that Redeemed Revan was partially amnesiac, meaning he hadn't fully recovered the wisdom and experience that made pre-amnesiac Revan so powerful. Plus, Malak was being amped by the Star Forge at the time, so he was significantly stronger than normal. And a recurring theme in Star Wars is that Sith Lords become more arrogant and contemptuous of their foes when they are high on power. So, the fact that Malak admitted Redeemed Revan was stronger than his past self at all is insane. In his battles with Revan and Kavar, Malak either survived or won respectively. But with all that said, I award Dooku the edge as a martial artist and lightsaber duelist. *3. Force Abilities:* Darth Malak. When Malak became the Dark Lord of the Sith after he betrayed Revan, he had nothing holding him back from exploring the deepest mysteries of the dark side. Dooku, on the other hand, was held back by his limited experiences with Sith lore, a master who viewed him as a placeholder and therefore undeserving of Sith teachings beyond the basics, and the simple fact that Dooku was passionate about lightsaber combat. In his arsenal, Darth Malak has Force choke, Force whirlwind, Force stun, lightsaber throw, Force lightning, Force-based physical augmentation, Force wave, Sith sorcery, life drain and Force leap. He also has an incredible resistance to telepathy as he and Revan were able to shake off Vitiate's mind control eventually; while the Sith Emperor had underestimated their willpower, and therefore probably wasn't using his full strength, the Sith Lord Scourge touched the Emperor's mind for less than a second and almost went insane, so Malak breaking the Emperor's control at even half strength is no mean feat. Dooku can do Force lightning, Force choke and uses telekinesis to manipulate loose objects to either attack his opponent or distract them. Like Malak, he is probably also highly resistant to telepathy, which makes sense because he is a former Jedi Master and a Sith Lord. Both have shown consistently that they can penetrate the defenses of other Force users who are inferior to them, but when it comes to their equals or superiors, they either fall back on lightsaber combat or outright retreat. Malak did this with Revan in their duels on board the Leviathan and the Star Forge while Dooku did this with Yoda on Geonosis. As for whether one could break the other's Force shields, Dooku could probably break Malak's defenses, but would have to spend a lot of his energy because Malak has never been shown to have his Force shields penetrated by anyone weaker than him and Dooku is, at the very least, Malak's equal. The same also applies in reverse for Malak because he has always been shown destroying an opposing Force user's defense effortlessly, but only if they were weaker than him, such as low-level Jedi Knights, so he will have to work hard if he wants to destroy Dooku's defenses. Telepathy can be easily discounted because both men are lightsaber savants first and Force users second, though I would argue their ability to resist telepathy are on similar levels. In short, what we have here is Dooku's creativity vs Malak's power. Dooku isn't as blunt as Malak and would take advantage of the environment in any way he could; he will apply Dun Moch to try and break Malak's composure, but the latter's resolve is too strong to be simply broken that way. Malak, on the other hand, has more options at his disposal and doesn't have to worry about Dooku doing anything truly unexpected thanks to Darth Sidious limiting Dooku's exposure to Sith teachings. Force stun, whirlwind, choke, wave and life drain can all be defended against by Dooku, but not without a fair amount of effort, and the abilities themselves have merit as distraction tools at the very worst, or legitimate weapons at the very best. Force lightning can be blocked by their lightsabers as well. To sum up, Malak is Dooku's superior in terms of Force abilities through a combination of versatility, power and the fact that Malak simply had no one holding him back while Dooku did. Advantage to Malak. *Conclusion:* In conclusion, a battle between Malak and Count Dooku would almost certainly begin as a lightsaber duel. The two would be twirling and dancing all over the place; it would be a Makashi vs Makashi-styled version of Anakin's duel with Count Dooku on board the Invisible Hand. Dooku would apply the same tactics of Dun Moch and telekinetically throwing objects at Malak to gain the advantage, but the Sith Lord would maintain his composure and keep going. However, Dooku would find an opening in Malak's defenses and exploit it, forcing the Dark Lord to fall back on his Force abilities and make a tactical retreat. Dooku would take this opportunity to catch his breath and draw upon the power of the dark side to rejuvenate him while Malak lies in wait for Dooku to come, just like on the Leviathan. Dooku finds Malak again and the battle resumes; this time, Dooku tries to end the fight as fast as possible because defending against Malak's aggressive assault will tire him out. Worse, each strike will become more and more difficult to block; Malak was simply too relentless. In the end, Dooku's exhaustion would give Malak the opening he needs, and he cuts Dooku to pieces. I declare Darth Malak the victor.
@@397llederson6 Fair enough. Dooku's Force abilities are more practical for combat whereas Malak is more of a Sith scientist. If Malak possessed something like Essence Transfer or Tutaminis, it'd be a different story.
@@Jeffthecreepyastafan Thanks. Though I couldn't have written my analysis if it weren't for the information already provided by Evan and Jensaarai1 in their own videos. But yeah, I do agree that Dooku could win just as easily, and the odds of victory in a Malak vs Dooku fight are 50/50.
My excitement has been activated. These two Sith Lords have always had special place in my heart due to their unique stories and swordsmanship traits, Dooku even becoming one of my favorite characters in general so putting them against each other is something I have debated but am pleased to know two professionals have come to tackle the question.
Ive been looking forward to this for quite some time. Right after Evan's video mentioning this, you drop this teaser. Since people are putting bets down, mines on Dooku. He's a more skilled swordsman who can dissect Malak's openings and he's a more versatile combative force user (block lighting and use force throw). Malak does have notable advantages like greater force power, force drain, Sith sorcery, and physically outclassing Dooku so this is a close one. In other news, May 4th is a couple days away so Season 2 of SW Visions is coming! Can be hit or miss but overall one of the best ideas to come out of Disney cannon.
@@TrajGreekFire Darth Malak charging the Star Forges production power and being noted to having force power comparable but weaker than Darth Revan. The gap between Dooku and Malak is not much though because Dooku is a powerhouse.
Many people has already said that, but both of you gentlemen, are the last of the old guard (among the few others on the platform), since so many discuss that Disney-stuff, instead of analysing the real art. Thanks for what you do!
Great to see you guys are still actively collaborating after all these years. Looking forward to the video! I know Disney canon can be inconsistent in showings and I'm sure you've gotten this question before since the new game just came out, but what are your thoughts on Cal Kestis and the line of games he features in (from a story and lightsaber combat perspective)? Can you see yourself making videos on that material? Btw: I'm putting my bets on Dooku now for the sweepstakes.
Jedi Survivor Cal would be good to use, but Jen doesn't like disney canon even if he did like the character. Unless its a surprise matchup, then Cal largely would be unused
Prediction: Malak is physically stronger, can endure far more punishment, and arguably has the better force potential/abilities. Dooku has the better training, experience, lightsaber, and speed. This fight comes down to pure experience/training vs raw power, and in that case I say Dooku takes it high diff, he's going to be utterly exhausted, but Malak's simple fighting style will eventually give Dooku the opening he needs quicker than Malak could run Dooku's limited stamina out.
Dooku is just too strong. There will be no fight, just dooku ragdolling him. Dooku can fight Yoda, who can contend with the strongest Version of prequel Era palpatine. Making him stronger than mace, who beat sidious before his yoda fight. Sidious ragdolls maul, who is said to be proof that the sith were stronger than ever. Dooku stomps.
Heh, I was just watching through your old videos the last few days. Now suddenly a collaboration I was looking forward to is on the horizon again. I must learn to master this summoning ritual I have stumbled upon.
Nice. Hopefully Malak will be getting the respect he deserves. Malak is underrated as f. I’ve seen people who think he would struggle with Qui Gon Jinn💀 love your breakdowns.❤ which is crazy when you take into account that Malak in the end of Kotor was stated to be stronger than Exar Kun, Freddon Nadd, Marka Ragnos and many other. And Being stronger than Exar Kun puts him above all Sith Before him because Exar has been stated to be the strongest sith in history at the point of the great Sith War. And Malak at multiple points in Kotor has been stated to be stronger than his old Master Darth Revan so Malak would actually be stronger than Sith Revan. Prime Revan in EOO ofc Defeats Malak but Still. Malak is underrated and should get more respect. As for Dooku. Dooku is great as always, such a cool fighter. Hopefully gonna be a great video as always.
Really love it when I see you and Evan work together. I like to think Malak gets the Physical edge in this matchup, but my money's on the Count of Serenno. I especially love how you clipped this together. Each visual feels like it would seamlessly blend into what an actual fight between these two would look like in our imagination.
These are my 2 original favorites of all time before Malgas took center stage with the Decieved trailer. Sp those 3 are my favorites. I have wanted this particular vs for YEARS! I CANNOT WAIT! 🍿
It's a matchup I've mulled over a few times. Always come down on the side of Dooku due to his martial skill and better combative focus as a Force user, but still curious to hear another viewpoint from our resident Legends scholar.
First off I love the channel; please keep up the amazing work! Question: Has there been any thoughts on doing something akin to an ability breakdown on Legends Sidious or a Vs. battle between him and another powerhouse like Exar Kun?
Just gonna put this here as I don't see an email Darth Caedus vs Darth Sidious I think this is a video worth exploring. I appreciate all your content. Can't wait for this matchup too!
I'm very excited for this matchup, to me both are the archetype tier 1.5 sith. My prediction : physically : Malak Force abilities ; even Lightsaber & martial arts : close , but Dooku. Overall : Dooku, where he has contented with people who are more on his scaling and malak's skill and pedigree , where malak simply hasn't during the time of the old republic
While I agree with you, I’d like to add that Dooku has endurance issues and Malak might outlast him, having said that I think Revan took Malak’s jaw with a Makashi move”the cut was so precise to remove the jaw without taking the neck with it”
You and Evan are amazing! I’m you two are my favorite members of the fanalysis council ( which I fear is essentially defunct 😓) and I’m glad you both still make videos
Speaking of Wolf Sazen, I view him in many ways to be his era’s Quigon Jinn and a worthy successor to him as the older master who was immensely skilled with the blade and the force ( view them as rough on par myself) but focusing more on the will of the force than any other agenda. Plus he’s the master of Shado Vao for his final years of training ( Vao is TOTALLY his era’s obi wan, at least compared to kenobi during the clone war) and was a father figure to his era’s young Skywalker.
@@bakionigeri6414 here’s how I see Bane vs Exar Kun going: Exar Kun has seen Strong style from Ulic but Bane is a whole different beast. Bane will be put on his back foot by Kun’s unusual lightsaber but will adapt and wear Kun down. Kun will give in to his anger and start getting sloppy, the big deciding factor is whether Kun’s fancy artifacts give Kun enough of a force amp compared to Bane’s raw power in the force. Physical: Bane Lightsaber skill: Equal/ leaning towards Bane Force: Equal/leaning towards Kun Equipment: Equal/ both have unique lightsaber and armor Final: Bane 6.5/10
@@KumaoftheForest excellent! And that's fair. Exar is skilled, but like all speedsters, one strong hit shakes there questionable defence. Kun shows off,...till bane breaks his ribs
@@bakionigeri6414 Kun’s greatest strength and weakness are the same: his equipment. Without his fancy Sith artifacts he’s a B tier combatant. Whenever I think about a VS match, I do the match twice. Once with equipment and once with basic robes and a standard lightsaber. Bane barely wins the first and stomps in the second
@@KumaoftheForest facts! It's like my baby mama Darth Zannah. With her spells, devastating opponent. Without her spells.... she can block and try to escape but that's about it.
I just finished watching the Darth Malak versus Yoda video that you did a while back. I am very interested to see your thoughts on the character now. :)
Hey Jensaarai, i had a crazy idea for a lightsaber profile that you could do: the 3 lightsabers that Obi-wan used over the course of his career, i was actually thinking of doing that video myself since i realize youre busy with other projects.
Yo 😃 Are you Katt’s 😎 considering a scenario of utilizing the StarForge as neutral ground ⚖️ for this fight 🤺 These two were both fully realized Sith Lords after all 💁🏻♂️ That were running off of the Dark Side of the Force 👋🏻 True Dooku’s been more of a capacitor 🔋 as opposed to a channelor 🧽 and Malak would know the StarForge’s inner workings better as he lived on it 🔑 Giving him something of a slight advantage 😅 But all things considered I do believe that would be fairly close 🤏🏻 neutral ground and a very cool 😆 plus engaging 😁 topic to discuss 😊 Either way lookin’ forward to this you two ☺️
I've been looking forward to this - Dooku Weapon - dooku Dueling - dooku Physical advantage - Malak Force - I'll wait and see. Quinlan Vos isn't getting any love. Quinlan Vos vs Luminara unduli Shaak Ti vs Obi-Wan Kenobi Plo koon vs Shaak ti Are match ups I'd like to see.
I'd say that Dooku probably takes the force category too. He might not be as well versed in the more esoteric Sith arts as Malak, but his lightning can instantly kill, and his TK is top tier. He does know some Sith sorcery too iirc, but I don't think that would come into play for either of them.
Wolf Sazen Vs Antares Draco: two of the best duelists of the Legacy era. Wolf Sazen has a Shien/ Atarue style that works well one armed but with. Oth I TRULY view him as an equal to some of the best. Krayt/Shado Vao/ and the Skywalkers are honestly the only fighters I believe to be better with him using a saber with both arms. ( serious, I respect the man adjusting to his handicap but with the cybernetic he was much more effective.)
Wolf Sazen from Star Wars Legacy. Who would be a good match for him? I personally would place him as a tier three overall. I’m unsure of his age, but I would say during the main story of Legacy he is between 37-mid 40’s. Wolf is a relatively young man, though he’s approaching middle age. He’s over a decade older than Cade and Shado, but beyond that is trickier to nail down. Tier 1.5 physical ability as while his output is peak human as a zabrak he has slightly better durability and pain tolerance.( if you want to even it out at 2 since he lost an arm that works) Tier 3 lightsaber duelist: he shows a specialization in form V shien, almost constantly utilizing the reverse grip, is a master of blast deflection and is excellent against multiple opponents. He frequently employs acrobatics, unarmed combat and force attacks into his swordplay. I believe his secondary style is ataru with some knowledge of niman. It’s possible he has niman as his secondary, but as he uses the force in active combat it’s not his go to and he uses it less than other fighters of the era I decided with Ataru. Of note is that when equipped with a prosthetic arm he relies less on acrobatics and uses more grounded postures. However I want to say it’s just a higher emphasis on shien and IT’s strength aspect as he is still very agile, but with two arms he’s able to utilize power attacks and have a stronger defensive technique and doesn’t have to be so evasive. In terms of force ability I want to say tier three. His physical enhancement is on par with all Jedi of his abilities and has made jim immensely fast/strong and durable.He uses the force often in combat and is shown moving heavy objects, though admittedly not at the multi-ton range other tier three’s utilize. He does however casually push two or three storm troopers on a few occasions and with ease blocked the debris Cade fling at him during their fight. His greatest ability is likely his talent for Force visions and his Force sense. His force sense was very sharp, always feeling the Sith in the area, even assassin’s of Talon’s caliber. ( the argument can be made it was to rain the Jedi, but he is nonetheless seen sensing other assassin’s throughout the story) He could sense Cade survived the purge when others doubted ( admittedly that can be attributed at least partially to denial but he was right) he could sense Cade almost anywhere. This could be due to their bond as master and padawan. I imagine there’s a lot of capable match ups for him. Ki Adi Mundi, Antares Draco, Darth Malgus, Lucien Draay, Darth Maul, Galen Marek, Aryn Leneer, Assajj Ventress, maybe Quigon Jinn himself?
Yeah, because some random guy’s RUclips polls totally mean anything in accuracy. The people who make those polls don’t do any research to come to conclusions themselves and think baiting people into meaninglessly voting is a viable shortcut.
it was from a channel that had no experience in the versus matchup unfortunately. People just quoted off greater feats without taking into account lightsaber training and force abilities and strategy. Its one of those terrible "who is stronger" shorts that I still seen except people spout random feats. Bane wouldn't be using essence transfer until as a last resort. There were some good comments but a lot of people have no clue on how to debate. Saw a poll of Mace vs Mandalorian Luke and my brain turned into mush at the amount of people who voted for luke. The poll didn't even ask for who was their favorite character, which would be understandable if the poll was specifically asking for that, but no. It asked for who would win.
@@lapplandkun9273 Like I said, those are done by people who put no effort into research and resort to cheap clickbait in order to get people to give a shit about them. And the stupid people who fall for that shit.
Based on Legends not counting TCW and its Tie Ins Dooku even as a Jedi Master around TPM Circa as well as before and for a while afterwards was widely considered to be a close second to Yoda in both force knowledge, force combat, force mastery, force meditation, force teaching, force games, and more as well as lightsaber dueling he was so good that as a nine year old he easily won a force battle tournament called the twelve and under competition based on force shields, force barriers, force senses, force deflection, force reflexes, and telekenesis he was so good and powerful that he beat students that were older, at the same age, and younger then himself and was the only student Yoda did not go easy on showing that Yoda put some effort into beating him. And at the age of seven he was able to with no effort lift a plant that weight multiple hundreds of pounds while most students his age have trouble lifting leafs. And as a Jedi Knight he was the second leading teacher of telekenesis after Yoda with no difficulty lifing all the council chairs and other furniture within the Council room and as a Jedi Master of course he became even more skilled and powerful no one aside from Yoda within the order prior to Anakin showing up not even Mace had a higher midichlorian count and potential then Dooku did only Yoda and later Anakin did heck Dooku was so good at lightsaber dueling too even by TPM Era that only Yoda was his superior even if slightly and Mace was often said to be his equal or near equal with Dookus battles with a blade with Mace either ending with Dooku winning even if not easily or them being at a impasse with no mention of Mace beating Dooku in there many sparring matches and note Mace even by TPM Dynasty was the ultimate form seven user even before getting a full or near entire hold on Vaapad and Plo Koon was a mighty high tier Form Five User and not once has he ever bested Mace in there spars yeah.
Dooku wins and for those who don't know, Dooku doesn't have stamina problems because of his age... When you use the force age doesn't even matter, you're always on your prime and improving, specially when you are using the dark side. The Sith believe in power and Dooku knows this so he is always in his best shape. Also force users can amplify their strength whenever they want to so for him going against stronger opponents is something he's very much prepared to do even with his age.. He learned from Yoda's ability to still perform at an advanced age. It makes sense Dooku does the same
@@DarthKraytsolosCanon500 When? I can show you dozens of quotes which says Sidious is the strongest sith ever as of ROTS. And I can show you the quote which indicates TPM Maul is stronger than Kun.
random question here 🤣 but for some random reason if the 3 Jedi masters Mace Windu took with him to face Palpatine turned on him would he be able to defeat them? Or survive and escape? I’ve always wondered that for some reason 🤣 like a battle 3 v 1 on even ground with no involvement from Palpatine what would the outcome be? It’s more because of how easily Sidious dispatched the 3 so I’m wondering if Mace could do the same!
I am curious to hear about your views on the Jedi Fallen Order/ Survivor games. ( yes I know you hate canon and the Disney by out and how it ass raped continuity with an iron stick but you and Evan have both conceded when they made good stuff.). Realizing you’re unlikely to use the characters in Videos, I’m still curious to hear your opinions on the gameplay, characters, stories and themes. Plus I would give you a $100 if you did character breakdown of Bode Akuna’s fighting skills and combative ranking. ( I’m not joking, open a patron and I will donate, I’m one of Evans Patrons) Personally I view Call Kestis at the end of Fallen Order as a tier 5 similar to Darth Wredd and Cal at the end of Survivor as a Tier 4.5 or low tier 4.( he’s got the moves, and he can contend with characters above his skill/power level and survive, but he can only survive. Dagan Gara and Vader throughly trounce him, he was able to beat the second sister and Ninth sister in personal combat with skill alone but they are both tier 5’s. )
Who is a good match for Antares Draco? Lucien Draay? Ki Audi Mundi? Quinlan Vos? Quigon Jinn? Wolf Sazen?Darth Azard? Darth Nihl? Darth Maul? Darth Malak? Jaden Korr?
This is interesting. Imo if we take normal Dooku vs normal Malak (without Star Forge), Dooku *might* win 5 or 6/10 times by exploiting Malak’s weak defense.
Dooku just scales higher than malgus. He can Match yoda, for a time. Yoda is stronger than mace, due to the fact he can hold his own against a stronger Version of Sidious. Sidious, pre yoda fight, ragdolled maul, who is said to be proof that the sith were stronger than ever. Dooku bullies.
Physical edge: toss up actually Dooku is actually superior in speed and can contend with Malak in strength. Malak simply hasn't demonstrated strength and speed enough to overcome Dooku's considering Grievous and Mace couldn't. Anakin is above Malak in terms of speed and strength so you can't compare the two. So no edge Force abilities: Dooku by a land slide, superior knowledge and demonstrations of power. Dooku once threw around several ships including a cruiser. Some may say Malak was a dark lord but people forget he wasn't a dark lord of the sith for that long roughly 4 years as its confirmed that Mandalore died 4 years after Malak before he was a sith Lord. Meanwhile Dooku has 13 years of being a sith, a huge holocron with knowledge of thousands of years and 70 years of being a Jedi. Dooku was so knowledgeable in the force that Jedi thought Dooku he was the second most knowledgeable next to yoda himself. Dooku also has several force abilities that he has including heart stop, alchemy, force spells, force illusions, doppelganger etc. Lightsaber abilities: Pretty simple Dooku just has brtter feats ngl

To paraphrase the Count: I'm looking forward to this!
Here was an essay I wrote a while back about Malak vs Dooku when Evan first announced this match up:
*1. Physical round:* Darth Malak. Malak wins this by a landslide. He's younger, stronger and definitely more agile than Dooku. The Count himself is in his 80s and has stamina problems while Malak could outlast him in a war of attrition. Also, Malak can take more punishment than Dooku can endure while the elderly Sith would simply get beaten into submission. While Malak suffers from dark side degradation and Dooku doesn't, this doesn't appear to hamper him in the slightest; Malak still runs and jumps as fine as any other Sith Lord in peak physical condition would. In the initial stages of their duel, they would be evenly matched in terms of physical stats. But as the fight wears on, Dooku's mounting exhaustion will gradually give Malak the edge. Advantage to Malak.
*2. Martial Arts round:* Count Dooku. Dooku takes this one, but only by a slight margin. Both he and Malak specialize in Makashi so they will have to be very creative if they want to outthink the other because both of them will know what to expect. Dooku held his own against Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Mace Windu, the best duelists with Soresu, Ataru and Juyo respectively so Dooku can definitely contend with Malak's Makashi-Ataru-Juyo hybrid style. However, Dooku's pure focus on Makashi means that he isn't bringing anything that Malak hasn't already seen before, and Malak could unload on Dooku a la ROTS Anakin style and stomp him. But Malak's offense comes at the expense of his defense, so his lack of defense also plays into Dooku's focus on subverting his opponent's defenses Any mistake on Malak's part would result in his defeat. Worse for Malak, Dooku can stand his ground against highly aggressive fighters who are significantly younger, stronger and faster than him like Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress; if Dooku can last long enough for Malak to slip up, he will exploit his mistake and win. Especially since the Count's defensive viability is better than Malak's. Plus, Dooku's dual-phase curved-hilt lightsaber gives him a weapon advantage over Malak's relatively conventional lightsaber.
But make no mistake, Malak is merely at a disadvantage and the possibility of him beating Dooku in a pure lightsaber duel is well within the realm of possibility as he has fought against Jedi who are just as good as Dooku like the Redeemed Revan, who was stated to be stronger than Darth Revan, and Kavar, a Jedi Battlemaster and the Jedi the Mandalorians expected to face and to be the leader of the Jedi forces had the Order intervened in the Mandalorian Wars. In the case of Redeemed Revan, I would like to point out that Redeemed Revan was partially amnesiac, meaning he hadn't fully recovered the wisdom and experience that made pre-amnesiac Revan so powerful. Plus, Malak was being amped by the Star Forge at the time, so he was significantly stronger than normal. And a recurring theme in Star Wars is that Sith Lords become more arrogant and contemptuous of their foes when they are high on power. So, the fact that Malak admitted Redeemed Revan was stronger than his past self at all is insane.
In his battles with Revan and Kavar, Malak either survived or won respectively. But with all that said, I award Dooku the edge as a martial artist and lightsaber duelist.
*3. Force Abilities:* Darth Malak. When Malak became the Dark Lord of the Sith after he betrayed Revan, he had nothing holding him back from exploring the deepest mysteries of the dark side. Dooku, on the other hand, was held back by his limited experiences with Sith lore, a master who viewed him as a placeholder and therefore undeserving of Sith teachings beyond the basics, and the simple fact that Dooku was passionate about lightsaber combat. In his arsenal, Darth Malak has Force choke, Force whirlwind, Force stun, lightsaber throw, Force lightning, Force-based physical augmentation, Force wave, Sith sorcery, life drain and Force leap. He also has an incredible resistance to telepathy as he and Revan were able to shake off Vitiate's mind control eventually; while the Sith Emperor had underestimated their willpower, and therefore probably wasn't using his full strength, the Sith Lord Scourge touched the Emperor's mind for less than a second and almost went insane, so Malak breaking the Emperor's control at even half strength is no mean feat. Dooku can do Force lightning, Force choke and uses telekinesis to manipulate loose objects to either attack his opponent or distract them. Like Malak, he is probably also highly resistant to telepathy, which makes sense because he is a former Jedi Master and a Sith Lord.
Both have shown consistently that they can penetrate the defenses of other Force users who are inferior to them, but when it comes to their equals or superiors, they either fall back on lightsaber combat or outright retreat. Malak did this with Revan in their duels on board the Leviathan and the Star Forge while Dooku did this with Yoda on Geonosis. As for whether one could break the other's Force shields, Dooku could probably break Malak's defenses, but would have to spend a lot of his energy because Malak has never been shown to have his Force shields penetrated by anyone weaker than him and Dooku is, at the very least, Malak's equal. The same also applies in reverse for Malak because he has always been shown destroying an opposing Force user's defense effortlessly, but only if they were weaker than him, such as low-level Jedi Knights, so he will have to work hard if he wants to destroy Dooku's defenses. Telepathy can be easily discounted because both men are lightsaber savants first and Force users second, though I would argue their ability to resist telepathy are on similar levels. In short, what we have here is Dooku's creativity vs Malak's power. Dooku isn't as blunt as Malak and would take advantage of the environment in any way he could; he will apply Dun Moch to try and break Malak's composure, but the latter's resolve is too strong to be simply broken that way. Malak, on the other hand, has more options at his disposal and doesn't have to worry about Dooku doing anything truly unexpected thanks to Darth Sidious limiting Dooku's exposure to Sith teachings. Force stun, whirlwind, choke, wave and life drain can all be defended against by Dooku, but not without a fair amount of effort, and the abilities themselves have merit as distraction tools at the very worst, or legitimate weapons at the very best. Force lightning can be blocked by their lightsabers as well. To sum up, Malak is Dooku's superior in terms of Force abilities through a combination of versatility, power and the fact that Malak simply had no one holding him back while Dooku did. Advantage to Malak.
*Conclusion:* In conclusion, a battle between Malak and Count Dooku would almost certainly begin as a lightsaber duel. The two would be twirling and dancing all over the place; it would be a Makashi vs Makashi-styled version of Anakin's duel with Count Dooku on board the Invisible Hand. Dooku would apply the same tactics of Dun Moch and telekinetically throwing objects at Malak to gain the advantage, but the Sith Lord would maintain his composure and keep going. However, Dooku would find an opening in Malak's defenses and exploit it, forcing the Dark Lord to fall back on his Force abilities and make a tactical retreat. Dooku would take this opportunity to catch his breath and draw upon the power of the dark side to rejuvenate him while Malak lies in wait for Dooku to come, just like on the Leviathan. Dooku finds Malak again and the battle resumes; this time, Dooku tries to end the fight as fast as possible because defending against Malak's aggressive assault will tire him out. Worse, each strike will become more and more difficult to block; Malak was simply too relentless. In the end, Dooku's exhaustion would give Malak the opening he needs, and he cuts Dooku to pieces. I declare Darth Malak the victor.
I would argue force abilities are actually Dooku's game
@@397llederson6 Fair enough. Dooku's Force abilities are more practical for combat whereas Malak is more of a Sith scientist. If Malak possessed something like Essence Transfer or Tutaminis, it'd be a different story.
@@muhdaqeel7330 Well Dooku does have tutuminis
Absolutely great analysis while I do have a slight bet on the counts victory I think malak will win. It's a great analysis regardless of the outcome
@@Jeffthecreepyastafan Thanks. Though I couldn't have written my analysis if it weren't for the information already provided by Evan and Jensaarai1 in their own videos.
But yeah, I do agree that Dooku could win just as easily, and the odds of victory in a Malak vs Dooku fight are 50/50.
My excitement has been activated. These two Sith Lords have always had special place in my heart due to their unique stories and swordsmanship traits, Dooku even becoming one of my favorite characters in general so putting them against each other is something I have debated but am pleased to know two professionals have come to tackle the question.
team makashi! the blade is a weapon of elegance, and should be treated as such. - master dooku
Its official! BOTH my favorite Star-wars channels are back!
The return of the Legends kings!
Ive been looking forward to this for quite some time.
Right after Evan's video mentioning this, you drop this teaser.
Since people are putting bets down, mines on Dooku. He's a more skilled swordsman who can dissect Malak's openings and he's a more versatile combative force user (block lighting and use force throw). Malak does have notable advantages like greater force power, force drain, Sith sorcery, and physically outclassing Dooku so this is a close one.
In other news, May 4th is a couple days away so Season 2 of SW Visions is coming! Can be hit or miss but overall one of the best ideas to come out of Disney cannon.
How is Malak possessing a greater force power
@@TrajGreekFire Darth Malak charging the Star Forges production power and being noted to having force power comparable but weaker than Darth Revan.
The gap between Dooku and Malak is not much though because Dooku is a powerhouse.
Hey can i point something out
@@397llederson6 Sure. Go for it.
Hey Connor, would you consider doing a Redux of Ventress vs Sedriss, especially in the light of the unofficial release of the Lightsider novel ?
Many people has already said that, but both of you gentlemen, are the last of the old guard (among the few others on the platform), since so many discuss that Disney-stuff, instead of analysing the real art. Thanks for what you do!
Malak and Dooku, fallen knights turned Sith with interesting parallels and differences. This should be a lot of fun.
Great to see you guys are still actively collaborating after all these years. Looking forward to the video!
I know Disney canon can be inconsistent in showings and I'm sure you've gotten this question before since the new game just came out, but what are your thoughts on Cal Kestis and the line of games he features in (from a story and lightsaber combat perspective)? Can you see yourself making videos on that material?
Btw: I'm putting my bets on Dooku now for the sweepstakes.
Jedi Survivor Cal would be good to use, but Jen doesn't like disney canon even if he did like the character. Unless its a surprise matchup, then Cal largely would be unused
after 8 months i dont think were seeing this episode, if im proven wrong then yay but lately alot of stuff has made me jaded to feeling hope
I'm really looking forward to a Post-Mortem analysis of these characters! Can't wait to see how they stack up with others in differing categories.
Its happeninggggggg! Man, this is gonna be good.
I've been looking forward to this.
Prediction:
Malak is physically stronger, can endure far more punishment, and arguably has the better force potential/abilities.
Dooku has the better training, experience, lightsaber, and speed.
This fight comes down to pure experience/training vs raw power, and in that case I say Dooku takes it high diff, he's going to be utterly exhausted, but Malak's simple fighting style will eventually give Dooku the opening he needs quicker than Malak could run Dooku's limited stamina out.
Dooku is just too strong. There will be no fight, just dooku ragdolling him. Dooku can fight Yoda, who can contend with the strongest Version of prequel Era palpatine. Making him stronger than mace, who beat sidious before his yoda fight. Sidious ragdolls maul, who is said to be proof that the sith were stronger than ever. Dooku stomps.
Heh, I was just watching through your old videos the last few days. Now suddenly a collaboration I was looking forward to is on the horizon again.
I must learn to master this summoning ritual I have stumbled upon.
This is gonna be amazing!
Nice. Hopefully Malak will be getting the respect he deserves. Malak is underrated as f. I’ve seen people who think he would struggle with Qui Gon Jinn💀 love your breakdowns.❤
which is crazy when you take into account that Malak in the end of Kotor was stated to be stronger than Exar Kun, Freddon Nadd, Marka Ragnos and many other. And Being stronger than Exar Kun puts him above all Sith Before him because Exar has been stated to be the strongest sith in history at the point of the great Sith War. And Malak at multiple points in Kotor has been stated to be stronger than his old Master Darth Revan so Malak would actually be stronger than Sith Revan. Prime Revan in EOO ofc Defeats Malak but Still.
Malak is underrated and should get more respect. As for Dooku. Dooku is great as always, such a cool fighter.
Hopefully gonna be a great video as always.
The GOAT at it again
Really love it when I see you and Evan work together. I like to think Malak gets the Physical edge in this matchup, but my money's on the Count of Serenno.
I especially love how you clipped this together. Each visual feels like it would seamlessly blend into what an actual fight between these two would look like in our imagination.
These are my 2 original favorites of all time before Malgas took center stage with the Decieved trailer. Sp those 3 are my favorites. I have wanted this particular vs for YEARS! I CANNOT WAIT! 🍿
It's a matchup I've mulled over a few times. Always come down on the side of Dooku due to his martial skill and better combative focus as a Force user, but still curious to hear another viewpoint from our resident Legends scholar.
Yeah Ive thought of Dooku having the odds in his favor but interested to hear what Jensaarai1 and Evan think.
First off I love the channel; please keep up the amazing work!
Question: Has there been any thoughts on doing something akin to an ability breakdown on Legends Sidious or a Vs. battle between him and another powerhouse like Exar Kun?
this is a tough match up. both of them are top tiered Duelists with extensive knowledge of lightsaber combat
Happy that there still some people who appreciate eu material. As time pass my hatred toward Disney worsens
Cmon man, I wanna hear your thoughts about Ahsoka. That shit was something else 😂😂
I’m taking bets. My money’s on Dooku.
Going with malak. If dooku cant out fence him fast enough Malak is going to rip into him. Dooku's age is catching up with him
Just gonna put this here as I don't see an email
Darth Caedus vs Darth Sidious
I think this is a video worth exploring.
I appreciate all your content. Can't wait for this matchup too!
I'm very excited for this matchup, to me both are the archetype tier 1.5 sith. My prediction :
physically : Malak
Force abilities ; even
Lightsaber & martial arts : close , but Dooku.
Overall : Dooku, where he has contented with people who are more on his scaling and malak's skill and pedigree , where malak simply hasn't during the time of the old republic
While I agree with you, I’d like to add that Dooku has endurance issues and Malak might outlast him, having said that I think Revan took Malak’s jaw with a Makashi move”the cut was so precise to remove the jaw without taking the neck with it”
@@KumaoftheForest Revan has a Knack for Timing with his Lightsaber Play.
I am still waiting for an indepth break down of Dooku's Lightsaber abilities. The last one (posted 3 years ago) only wet my appetite 😋
Unlike a certain game, this collaboration won’t give you flashbacks of cyberpunk 2077 and Marvel’s Avengers
I believe the Count put it best: "I've been looking forward to this."
You and Evan are amazing! I’m you two are my favorite members of the fanalysis council ( which I fear is essentially defunct 😓) and I’m glad you both still make videos
Great Video! Look like Darth Malak and Dooku use the same LS style.👍👍
Speaking of Wolf Sazen, I view him in many ways to be his era’s Quigon Jinn and a worthy successor to him as the older master who was immensely skilled with the blade and the force ( view them as rough on par myself) but focusing more on the will of the force than any other agenda. Plus he’s the master of Shado Vao for his final years of training ( Vao is TOTALLY his era’s obi wan, at least compared to kenobi during the clone war) and was a father figure to his era’s young Skywalker.
When we getting this bro
Can’t wait for the video! You and Evan rock!
Well good to see you working together again.
Physical: Malak
Lightsaber skill: Dooku
Force: Malak
Weapon/equipment: Dooku
Final: Malak 7/10
Also when is Bane vs Exar Kun coming out?
I hope bane wins, I'm tired of exar getting all the wins in matches . Classic speedster worship, and anti "tank" bias
@@bakionigeri6414 here’s how I see Bane vs Exar Kun going:
Exar Kun has seen Strong style from Ulic but Bane is a whole different beast.
Bane will be put on his back foot by Kun’s unusual lightsaber but will adapt and wear Kun down. Kun will give in to his anger and start getting sloppy, the big deciding factor is whether Kun’s fancy artifacts give Kun enough of a force amp compared to Bane’s raw power in the force.
Physical: Bane
Lightsaber skill: Equal/ leaning towards Bane
Force: Equal/leaning towards Kun
Equipment: Equal/ both have unique lightsaber and armor
Final: Bane 6.5/10
@@KumaoftheForest excellent! And that's fair. Exar is skilled, but like all speedsters, one strong hit shakes there questionable defence. Kun shows off,...till bane breaks his ribs
@@bakionigeri6414 Kun’s greatest strength and weakness are the same: his equipment. Without his fancy Sith artifacts he’s a B tier combatant. Whenever I think about a VS match, I do the match twice. Once with equipment and once with basic robes and a standard lightsaber. Bane barely wins the first and stomps in the second
@@KumaoftheForest facts! It's like my baby mama Darth Zannah.
With her spells, devastating opponent.
Without her spells.... she can block and try to escape but that's about it.
I am really looking forward to this...
I just finished watching the Darth Malak versus Yoda video that you did a while back. I am very interested to see your thoughts on the character now. :)
This is so dissapointing when will this be out sometime next year or what?!
Hey Jensaarai, i had a crazy idea for a lightsaber profile that you could do: the 3 lightsabers that Obi-wan used over the course of his career, i was actually thinking of doing that video myself since i realize youre busy with other projects.
Can you do a what if video on ‘what if Darth Bane made the rule of one (Krayts sith ideology) instead of the rule of two
Yo 😃
Are you Katt’s 😎 considering a scenario of utilizing the StarForge as neutral ground ⚖️ for this fight 🤺
These two were both fully realized Sith Lords after all 💁🏻♂️ That were running off of the Dark Side of the Force 👋🏻 True Dooku’s been more of a capacitor 🔋 as opposed to a channelor 🧽 and Malak would know the StarForge’s inner workings better as he lived on it 🔑 Giving him something of a slight advantage 😅
But all things considered I do believe that would be fairly close 🤏🏻 neutral ground and a very cool 😆 plus engaging 😁 topic to discuss 😊
Either way lookin’ forward to this you two ☺️
I'm truly looking forward to this
Im so hungry for the real deal :D But when will it release? :O
Hope y’all are doing ok can’t wait to see the video!
This match up got me into versus. Love for Malak
I've been looking forward to this - Dooku
Weapon - dooku
Dueling - dooku
Physical advantage - Malak
Force - I'll wait and see.
Quinlan Vos isn't getting any love.
Quinlan Vos vs Luminara unduli
Shaak Ti vs Obi-Wan Kenobi
Plo koon vs Shaak ti
Are match ups I'd like to see.
I'd say that Dooku probably takes the force category too. He might not be as well versed in the more esoteric Sith arts as Malak, but his lightning can instantly kill, and his TK is top tier. He does know some Sith sorcery too iirc, but I don't think that would come into play for either of them.
Wolf Sazen Vs Antares Draco: two of the best duelists of the Legacy era. Wolf Sazen has a Shien/ Atarue style that works well one armed but with. Oth I TRULY view him as an equal to some of the best. Krayt/Shado Vao/ and the Skywalkers are honestly the only fighters I believe to be better with him using a saber with both arms. ( serious, I respect the man adjusting to his handicap but with the cybernetic he was much more effective.)
Wolf Sazen from Star Wars Legacy.
Who would be a good match for him?
I personally would place him as a tier three overall. I’m unsure of his age, but I would say during the main story of Legacy he is between 37-mid 40’s. Wolf is a relatively young man, though he’s approaching middle age. He’s over a decade older than Cade and Shado, but beyond that is trickier to nail down.
Tier 1.5 physical ability as while his output is peak human as a zabrak he has slightly better durability and pain tolerance.( if you want to even it out at 2 since he lost an arm that works)
Tier 3 lightsaber duelist: he shows a specialization in form V shien, almost constantly utilizing the reverse grip, is a master of blast deflection and is excellent against multiple opponents. He frequently employs acrobatics, unarmed combat and force attacks into his swordplay. I believe his secondary style is ataru with some knowledge of niman. It’s possible he has niman as his secondary, but as he uses the force in active combat it’s not his go to and he uses it less than other fighters of the era I decided with Ataru. Of note is that when equipped with a prosthetic arm he relies less on acrobatics and uses more grounded postures. However I want to say it’s just a higher emphasis on shien and IT’s strength aspect as he is still very agile, but with two arms he’s able to utilize power attacks and have a stronger defensive technique and doesn’t have to be so evasive.
In terms of force ability I want to say tier three. His physical enhancement is on par with all Jedi of his abilities and has made jim immensely fast/strong and durable.He uses the force often in combat and is shown moving heavy objects, though admittedly not at the multi-ton range other tier three’s utilize. He does however casually push two or three storm troopers on a few occasions and with ease blocked the debris Cade fling at him during their fight. His greatest ability is likely his talent for Force visions and his Force sense. His force sense was very sharp, always feeling the Sith in the area, even assassin’s of Talon’s caliber. ( the argument can be made it was to rain the Jedi, but he is nonetheless seen sensing other assassin’s throughout the story) He could sense Cade survived the purge when others doubted ( admittedly that can be attributed at least partially to denial but he was right) he could sense Cade almost anywhere. This could be due to their bond as master and padawan.
I imagine there’s a lot of capable match ups for him. Ki Adi Mundi, Antares Draco, Darth Malgus, Lucien Draay, Darth Maul, Galen Marek, Aryn Leneer, Assajj Ventress, maybe Quigon Jinn himself?
Yeah Mundi is a good match
you're amazing love the vids
Congrats on 40K 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What happened 2 the Palpatine vs Krayt match up? Been hearing about this from uou guys but it never materialized. We have enough Dooku.
Someone actually did a poll on this. People, of course, came up with different conclusions. Now we shall see what the experts have to say.
Yeah, because some random guy’s RUclips polls totally mean anything in accuracy. The people who make those polls don’t do any research to come to conclusions themselves and think baiting people into meaninglessly voting is a viable shortcut.
it was from a channel that had no experience in the versus matchup unfortunately. People just quoted off greater feats without taking into account lightsaber training and force abilities and strategy. Its one of those terrible "who is stronger" shorts that I still seen except people spout random feats. Bane wouldn't be using essence transfer until as a last resort. There were some good comments but a lot of people have no clue on how to debate. Saw a poll of Mace vs Mandalorian Luke and my brain turned into mush at the amount of people who voted for luke. The poll didn't even ask for who was their favorite character, which would be understandable if the poll was specifically asking for that, but no. It asked for who would win.
@@lapplandkun9273 Like I said, those are done by people who put no effort into research and resort to cheap clickbait in order to get people to give a shit about them. And the stupid people who fall for that shit.

"I've been looking forward to this"
Where's this guy's review of ahsoka? I wanna see him rip this shit to shreds 😂😂
the idea of using amplifers makes me intrigued
Based on Legends not counting TCW and its Tie Ins Dooku even as a Jedi Master around TPM Circa as well as before and for a while afterwards was widely considered to be a close second to Yoda in both force knowledge, force combat, force mastery, force meditation, force teaching, force games, and more as well as lightsaber dueling he was so good that as a nine year old he easily won a force battle tournament called the twelve and under competition based on force shields, force barriers, force senses, force deflection, force reflexes, and telekenesis he was so good and powerful that he beat students that were older, at the same age, and younger then himself and was the only student Yoda did not go easy on showing that Yoda put some effort into beating him. And at the age of seven he was able to with no effort lift a plant that weight multiple hundreds of pounds while most students his age have trouble lifting leafs. And as a Jedi Knight he was the second leading teacher of telekenesis after Yoda with no difficulty lifing all the council chairs and other furniture within the Council room and as a Jedi Master of course he became even more skilled and powerful no one aside from Yoda within the order prior to Anakin showing up not even Mace had a higher midichlorian count and potential then Dooku did only Yoda and later Anakin did heck Dooku was so good at lightsaber dueling too even by TPM Era that only Yoda was his superior even if slightly and Mace was often said to be his equal or near equal with Dookus battles with a blade with Mace either ending with Dooku winning even if not easily or them being at a impasse with no mention of Mace beating Dooku in there many sparring matches and note Mace even by TPM Dynasty was the ultimate form seven user even before getting a full or near entire hold on Vaapad and Plo Koon was a mighty high tier Form Five User and not once has he ever bested Mace in there spars yeah.
Dooku wins and for those who don't know, Dooku doesn't have stamina problems because of his age... When you use the force age doesn't even matter, you're always on your prime and improving, specially when you are using the dark side. The Sith believe in power and Dooku knows this so he is always in his best shape. Also force users can amplify their strength whenever they want to so for him going against stronger opponents is something he's very much prepared to do even with his age.. He learned from Yoda's ability to still perform at an advanced age. It makes sense Dooku does the same

random question here 🤣 but for some random reason if the 3 Jedi masters Mace Windu took with him to face Palpatine turned on him would he be able to defeat them? Or survive and escape? I’ve always wondered that for some reason 🤣 like a battle 3 v 1 on even ground with no involvement from Palpatine what would the outcome be? It’s more because of how easily Sidious dispatched the 3 so I’m wondering if Mace could do the same!
Is this coming out ??
I am curious to hear about your views on the Jedi Fallen Order/ Survivor games. ( yes I know you hate canon and the Disney by out and how it ass raped continuity with an iron stick but you and Evan have both conceded when they made good stuff.). Realizing you’re unlikely to use the characters in Videos, I’m still curious to hear your opinions on the gameplay, characters, stories and themes. Plus I would give you a $100 if you did character breakdown of Bode Akuna’s fighting skills and combative ranking. ( I’m not joking, open a patron and I will donate, I’m one of Evans Patrons) Personally I view Call Kestis at the end of Fallen Order as a tier 5 similar to Darth Wredd and Cal at the end of Survivor as a Tier 4.5 or low tier 4.( he’s got the moves, and he can contend with characters above his skill/power level and survive, but he can only survive. Dagan Gara and Vader throughly trounce him, he was able to beat the second sister and Ninth sister in personal combat with skill alone but they are both tier 5’s. )
I'm honestly more curious of a Cal breakdown, given survivior's release and how Cal improved and grown since fallen order
I have a good feeling about this
Who is a good match for Antares Draco? Lucien Draay? Ki Audi Mundi? Quinlan Vos? Quigon Jinn? Wolf Sazen?Darth Azard? Darth Nihl? Darth Maul? Darth Malak? Jaden Korr?
Wait I thought this was one of those obvious conclusion ones?
What about Sedris vs Darth Maul
Literally cannot wait
This is interesting. Imo if we take normal Dooku vs normal Malak (without Star Forge), Dooku *might* win 5 or 6/10 times by exploiting Malak’s weak defense.
Dooku just scales higher than malgus. He can Match yoda, for a time. Yoda is stronger than mace, due to the fact he can hold his own against a stronger Version of Sidious. Sidious, pre yoda fight, ragdolled maul, who is said to be proof that the sith were stronger than ever. Dooku bullies.
Ngl this better be 1 hour and 30 minutes cause it’s almost been 6 months
Physical edge: toss up actually Dooku is actually superior in speed and can contend with Malak in strength. Malak simply hasn't demonstrated strength and speed enough to overcome Dooku's considering Grievous and Mace couldn't. Anakin is above Malak in terms of speed and strength so you can't compare the two. So no edge
Force abilities: Dooku by a land slide, superior knowledge and demonstrations of power. Dooku once threw around several ships including a cruiser. Some may say Malak was a dark lord but people forget he wasn't a dark lord of the sith for that long roughly 4 years as its confirmed that Mandalore died 4 years after Malak before he was a sith Lord. Meanwhile Dooku has 13 years of being a sith, a huge holocron with knowledge of thousands of years and 70 years of being a Jedi. Dooku was so knowledgeable in the force that Jedi thought Dooku he was the second most knowledgeable next to yoda himself. Dooku also has several force abilities that he has including heart stop, alchemy, force spells, force illusions, doppelganger etc.
Lightsaber abilities: Pretty simple Dooku just has brtter feats ngl

@Wes Bradley-Taubner Mine.
Who do you think would won between obi wan kenobi and setele shan
@@DynamicArts-co6uu Satele Shan, but only because she outclasses Obi-Wan as a Force wielder. As a lightsaber duelist, she's doing everything wrong.
I'm curious about this matchup, who is going to win? 🤔
Make a vid on ashoka 😂
Hype!
You should also do cal kestis versus anyone. Probably Galen Marek.
My guess is that, just like most other game protagonists, kestis is a niman specialist. If not intentionally, then most certainly by nature given his versatile and resourceful way of dueling.
3TopicGamers already did this.
Did the full Vs video of these 2 come out already
Giovannie says Thank you for years of dedication 13 teen years total. Grey jedi 91 if you read this we all love and miss you in the community
Good bye my friends Conor Evan Giovannie loves all you.
Darth Krayt vs Exar Kun.
I… really don’t think Dooku is going to be able to beat Malak.
YES MORE JENSAARAI
Any update on when this might drop?
Have you ever thought of a Malgus vs Yoda video? I argued someone the other day who thought Yoda would bulldoze Malgus, but I think Darth Malgus could contend and possibly win. What's your take?
Yoda stomps malgus. Yoda can contend with rots sidious. The same sidious ragdolled maul, who is said to be proof that the sith were stronger than ever.
I'm betting on Malak to win
Yup, I can't wait. Also Jen, did you see episode 7 of the Mandalorian Season 3. It has to be up there with the best of the Disney released Star Wars content imo.
HAHAHAHAHAHA No
Jen doesn't like Disney Canon, so you're gonna have to go elsewhere to talk about it
@@lapplandkun9273 He reviewed Kenobi, which was worse than the Mandalorian Season 3.
@@drachna yeah, but he also gone out of his way to state that he doesn't like most, if not all, of the things from disney canon
@@lapplandkun9273 Most of us take the Disney properties on a case by case basis, as Jensaarai1 has done in the past. Clearly he either didn't watch it or didn't like it since he didn't answer me, but I'd have appreciated his take on it which is why I asked.
Just so you know whenever this comes nobody would care because it took too long, also this is a mismatch Malak destroys Dooku
No he does not
Comments like this aren't helpful. Connor isn't a content farming machine. Dude is a person with real needs. If you're mad about the delay, then look elsewhere or create your own content.
@@StevenZissimos This is beyond of pathetic at this point. LOOK at how many months it has been
@@krizula1117it's on Evan
How is Malak stronger than Dooku?
Connor how are things? I haven't seen your channel in a while. Do you still collaborate with Evannova?
He's VERY busy apparently.. 😒🤣
@@krizula1117 what is the overall intent of your response?
Dooku wins as he can fence I assume
How is the progress with this verses battle
Hope the video is arriving soon
