>Korr
Excuse me? Kas'im is THE greatest Duelist in the Galaxy, aside from maybe Grievous, and while his Force Power is lacking he does have some ok ones. That being said Korr definitely doesn't have the Force Power to close the gigantic Saber gap. Korr is a decent Force User, but anyone that's read his books can tell you he has more anti-feats than feats.
Shaak Ti just blows both of them out of the water entirely. Now Kas'im does have the edge in Sabers, but Shaak's Force kit is insane. She has TK to hold up the pressure of Kamino's ocean, speed to dodge dozens or even hundreds of blaster bolts, Tutaminus to block one of Grievous's Sabers while severely wounded, and some of the best Consitor Sato in SW.

Lol. Ti had Anakin and Kenobi to aid her in the "ocean feat" and after she's the one hunching over exhausted while they're fine.
Even then she never actually holds the water at all. She just pulls the rubble towards the door.
And this exhausts her.
She's so powerful you guys.

Which anti feats lol? Anything he does in crosscurrent, which are his least impressive feats, all happen while hindered and with a “benighted” force connection, so it’s not valid to use them against him. By contrast in, Riptide:CaptainMarTuuk wrote:but anyone that's read his books can tell you he has more anti-feats than feats.
1- he nearly TK stalemates 2 clones, one who could easily destroy a hospital, the second even more powerful.
2- he moves around an escape pod for a significant amount of time while simultaneously maneuvering himself in space.
3- he defends from the power of Mother (to an extent), a rakatan entity.
Plus Korr gets scaling from Wyyrlok 1 and the clones (which if you want I can explain). It’s really far above anything Ti has and arguably better than Kas’im.

Do you remember that those Clones were #1 horribly deranged and entirely mentally unstable except from Soldier? #2 extremely diseased and dying? And #3 he had serious trouble fighting them.
Also, Soldier (Jaden Clone) was the one who 'destroyed' the Hospital, and he got floored every time he fought Soldier. Korr's only other source for feats is Jedi: Academy, and in-game feats are always iffy to use because they largely depend on the player.

It really doesn’t matter in which condition the clones were. The kind of power they showed still remains, and it’s better than Ti has, all of which has been debunked time and time again, Korr having difficulty against them is equally unimportant because it’s still better than feat of Ti’s.CaptainMarTuuk wrote:Do you remember that those Clones were #1 horribly deranged and entirely mentally unstable except from Soldier? #2 extremely diseased and dying?

Nope, it was Runner who destroyed the hospital:
- Spoiler:
- Enough of this,” Runner said. He shoved Soldier to the side, the anger bleeding from him. He held out his hands and unleashed a blast of energy that went before him in a wide arc. The triage area virtually exploded. Beds overturned; overhead lights shattered, raining glass; medical equipment toppled; and two dozen bodies—patients, security guards, doctors, and nurses, including those whose minds Soldier had bent to his will—flew across the room and slammed into the far wall. Bones shattered.
Before them, the pile of bodies, bedding, and machinery looked like the aftermath of a bomb blast. The lift doors were crumpled on their mounts; the lift control panel was shattered and spitting sparks. The alarms from medical equipment beeped plaintively. Moans and screams sounded from the wounded."
―Star Wars: Riptide
Soldier is stated to be better than him, which is corroborated by the fact that the assassin Nyss couldn’t remove his force power completely, whereas against Runner (Kyle’s clone) he was able to.
As for the JA feats, most of them are completely legitimate, as they are referenced in other sources.

Their condition does matter lmao. They were unstable and on the verge of death and Korr still almost lost or outright lost every time. That's like getting beaten up by a demented dude with stage 3 cancer. It isn't impressive. It's just sad. I don't particularly care that you think or was debunked, because it's wrong so saying that has no substance.
I thought you were talking about when the hospital was like actually destroyed, not just a room in the hospital. That's a pathetic feat, most Jedi have something equal to or better than that. Nyss also couldn't stop Soldier because he had quote "Jedi and Sith DNA" which made him unique. I know it doesn't make semse, but the entire book didn't make sense. It had nothing to do with his relative strength, although he was the strongest.
As for Shaak Ti
TK: Held up the pressure of Kamino's ocean. Someone said Anakin and Obi-Wan helped but I definitely do not remember that lol.
Consitor Sato: Felucia was basically an extension of her body.
Beast Mastery: Tamed the largest known Sarlacc in the Galaxy.
Tutaminus: Blocked a Lightsaber while extremely injured.
She knew Force Stealth
Force Heal: was able to heal herself from an otherwise fatal wound.
Kinetite: Was able to blast away Galen Marek.
Speed: She was able to dodge dozens of blaster bolts at once and run down a building.
Strength: Shattered a Magnaguards head with her knee.
Sabers: Contends with Grievous while injured, fends off 8+ Magnaguards simultaneously, and was a master of Ataru and Makashi with ample knowledge of Jar'Kai.
Misc: Her Togrutan Montrals boosted her Senses, making it night impossible to sneak up on her. The book also makes it clear that Shaak Ti committed suicide because she knew that she had to die for Galen to return safely, but if he killed her then he would turn to the Dark Side and thus would not go on to redeem himself and end up being the spark for the Rebellion, which would eventually save the galaxy.

It doesn't, because they still showed immense power even under those circumstances, and Korr stalemated them. It's the example with Kenobi vs Anakin.

He destroyed an entire area of the hospital, with such strenght it exploded. I'm sure you'll agree that when there's a exposion of this caliber it goes beyond just a simple room. Furthermore, the clone was not operating anywhere near his full power (which against Korr he was) and has another feat of destroying half a building with the force.

1- If you don’t think Greysentinel did a good job then I encourage you to present a counter argument, otherwise what he says still stands (and atm I agree with him).
2- The book notes an entire area was destroyed with such strength it seemed like an explosion. Again, an explosion of that causes far more damage than to destroy a simple room. I never argued he destroyed the entire hospital, or at least it wasn’t what I meant, but he did devastate a portion of it (the triage area). You haven’t taken 2 more factors into account: first the Kyle clone, Runner, has also destroyed half a building by sending a mere speeder against it:
- Spoiler:
- Soldier felt Runner’s anger spike.
“Don’t,” he said, and reached back to grab Runner’s arm, but it was too late.
Runner made a sweeping gesture with one hand, and the Weequay’s speeder looked as if it had been hit broadside with an enormous wave. It teetered on its side and slid across the street, onto the sidewalk, crushing several pedestrians, and into an adjacent building. Metal shrieked and bent. Glass shattered. The building half-collapsed with an angry rumble. One of the Weequay’s speeder’s engines sputtered and burst into flames. Black smoke poured into the air."
Secondly, Runner was not operating at his full power when he devastated the hospital (as he did that with relative ease) but was clearly doing so against Korr:
Riptide wrote:The larger of the two grinned. Jaden recognized him now, behind the beard and hair. He was a clone of Jaden’s Master, Kyle Katarn. Anger poured off both clones, anger born of years of frustration and mistreatment. It hit Jaden like a hailstorm. His elbows bent. He was failing, failing.
But he refused to give in.
He grunted, summoned a reserve of strength, extended his arms fully, pushed back against the clones, stood up, and held his ground.
Add in Soldier (whom as you correctly said is more powerful than Runner) and what Korr withstood was far beyond building level destruction.
Lastly, sorry For my behavior, I admit I shouldn’t have said that, but many of my points were not addressed.

If I didn't respond to your message, it's not because I ignored it I assure you. I'm still trying to figure out how to reply properly as I find the system rather clunky. As for the hospital room, it's never mentioned that it caused any damage beyond cosmetic as I've already said. I see that you're saying that it would HAVE to affect other areas of the hospital, but I disagree entirely with that as none of the damage indicates that. As for it being likened to an explosion, that's just the writer giving an idea of what happened. As for the Shaak thing, Sentinel entirely ignored her TK feat of holding up a Kaminoan ocean (I've heard people say she had help from Anakin and Obi-Wan but that's entirely false) which is incredibly impressive. He also ignored her Force Heal to heal otherwise fatal wounds, and her Tutaminus (some of the best in SW). As for her speed, she's dodged dozens of blaster before, contended with General Grievous while seriously injured, and she wasn't overwhelmed when she went into a blade lock with the 8 Magna Guards and she was taking out plenty of them before that. (Also Magnaguards aren't locked to 1 form, that was heavy drilled into anyone who read Labyrinth of Evil. They're called "Self-Motivating Heuristically Programmed Combat Droids" for a reason) and when he said she didn't have exceptional strength I don't know what he was thinking. She shattered a Magnaguard's head with her knee, and they're incredibly durable. Consitor Sato/Beast Mastery aren't irrelevant in combat, they just depend on the combat setting. He also attributes her death as Galen's doing when it was very clear that it was a suicide after she got a vision of what the future would hold if she didn't. Montrals aren't super relevant, but it still negates any ability to sneak up on her.

As for Korr, i found evidence that the “explosion” went beyond simply a room, as the novel later mentioned the lifts themselves were damaged:
“
Riptide wrote:Reports from inside say they’re heading up the stairs,” he translated. “The lifts were damaged in some kind of explosion. There are a lot of dead and wounded.”
Furthermore, looking closer at the original quote I found out it mentions the triage area was devastated. The triage area is usually an entire wing of a hospital. So yeah, it is pretty damn impressive. As I mentioned earlier, both clones were operating with significantly greater effort than than when Runner devastated that hospital.
Now let’s get to Ti.
1- force stealth, healing, and that kind of tutaminis (which was likely a form of force shield) are not all that important in a fight. The first can only be used under very specific circumstances, the second can only be used if she has time to concentrate, while the third is only a last resort that Ti will employ only if she is about to be defeated. It’s power levels and overall feats that matter the most.
2- Grey was right about the ocean feat. The part in which she sent the ocean back was achieved mostly with the help of Anakin and Obi Wan:
1-Anakin, Obi Wan and Ti combine ther powers to push back most of the ocean’s pression:
2- Ti adds her own strength, but only to move back the rubble and the remaining amount of water, which indicates most of work was done by the three combined:
3- to make everything all the more embarrassing for Ti ,she looks exhausted after this exertion, whereas Anakin and Obi Wan don’t:
This feat is not nearly as impressive as you make it to be, as Most of the work was done by Anakin and Obi wan.
3- now let’s address the feat in Labirinth of evil/OG clone wars. Ti holding off an entire army of guards is hardly an impressive feat. For instance, before that she was shown to struggle against a single magna guard and only defeats it after a good fight:
https://youtu.be/64-3talVkUA
( see around minute 6:13)
This happens while Ti wields a single lightsaber. However, as soon as she gets the staff, she is able to hold off a group of magna guards. How can we explain this? There are two possible explanations:
1- the guards are not trained to deal with dual blades, at least not with that specific type of training, which is corroborated by the description of the novel LOE:
Dooku had taught Grievous well, and Grievous had taught his elite well. Coupled with Dooku's coaching, their programming in the seven classic forms of lightsaber dueling - in the Jedi arts - made them lethal opponents. But they were not invincible, not even Grievous, because they could be confused by unpredictability, and they had no understanding of finesse. A player of dejarik could memorize all the classic openings and countermoves, and still not be a master of the game. Defeat often came at the hands of less experienced players who knew nothing about the traditional strategies. A professional fighter, a combat artist, could be defeated by a cantina brawler who knew nothing about form but everything about ending a conflict quickly, without a thought to winning gracefully or elegantly. Enslavement to form opened one to defeat by the unforeseen. This was often the failing of trained duelists, and it would be the failing of the Jedi Order.
- Labyrinth of Evil
2- the magnaguards have an extremely inconsistent track record. For instance 3 of them are apparently Obi Wan’s ability to defeat, yet Fisto is able to literally blitz a few of them in LOE:
A possibile explanation for this could be the fact that there are different models, but considering the ones Fisto blitzed are the same that Ti later faces it’s not looking good for her, not at all.Labyrinth of Evil wrote:To the rear of the car, where Grievous's pair of MagnaGuards had made the mistake of pitting themselves against Kit Fisto, the Nautolan's blade was a cyclone of blazing blue light. Resistant to the energy outpourings of a lightsaber, the phrik alloy staffs were potent weapons, but like any weapon they needed to find their target, and Kit simply wasn't allowing that. In moves a Twi'lek dancer might envy, he spun around the guards, claiming a limb from both with each rotation: left legs, right arms, right legs...
The speed of the train saw to the rest, ultimately whisking the droids into the canyon like insects blown from the windscreen of a speeder bike.
Overall, Ti has nothing that compares with Korr. His feats are better (especially if we take JA into the equation as well), his accolades are superior and Ti’s most impressive feats are riddled in circumstances that make it impossible to quantify them.

1- force stealth, healing, and that kind of tutaminis (which was likely a form of force shield) are not all that important in a fight. The first can only be used under very specific circumstances, the second can only be used if she has time to concentrate, while the third is only a last resort that Ti will employ only if she is about to be defeated. It’s power levels and overall feats that matter the most.
2- Grey was right about the ocean feat. The part in which she sent the ocean back was achieved mostly with the help of Anakin and Obi Wan:
1-Anakin, Obi Wan and Ti combine ther powers to push back most of the ocean’s pression:
2- Ti adds her own strength, but only to move back the rubble and the remaining amount of water, which indicates most of work was done by the three combined:
3- to make everything all the more embarrassing for Ti ,she looks exhausted after this exertion, whereas Anakin and Obi Wan don’t:
This feat is not nearly as impressive as you make it to be, as Most of the work was done by Anakin and Obi wan.
3- now let’s address the feat in Labirinth of evil/OG clone wars. Ti holding off an entire army of guards is hardly an impressive feat. For instance, before that she was shown to struggle against a single magna guard and only defeats it after a good fight:

( see around minute 6:13)
This happens while Ti wields a single lightsaber. However, as soon as she gets the staff, she is able to hold off a group of magna guards. How can we explain this? There are two possible explanations:
1- the guards are not trained to deal with dual blades, at least not with that specific type of training, which is corroborated by the description of the novel LOE:
Dooku had taught Grievous well, and Grievous had taught his elite well. Coupled with Dooku's coaching, their programming in the seven classic forms of lightsaber dueling - in the Jedi arts - made them lethal opponents. But they were not invincible, not even Grievous, because they could be confused by unpredictability, and they had no understanding of finesse. A player of dejarik could memorize all the classic openings and countermoves, and still not be a master of the game. Defeat often came at the hands of less experienced players who knew nothing about the traditional strategies. A professional fighter, a combat artist, could be defeated by a cantina brawler who knew nothing about form but everything about ending a conflict quickly, without a thought to winning gracefully or elegantly. Enslavement to form opened one to defeat by the unforeseen. This was often the failing of trained duelists, and it would be the failing of the Jedi Order.

2- the magnaguards have an extremely inconsistent track record. For instance 3 of them are apparently Obi Wan’s ability to defeat, yet Fisto is able to literally blitz a few of them in LOE:A possibile explanation for this could be the fact that there are different models, but considering the ones Fisto blitzed are the same that Ti later faces it’s not looking good for her, not at all.Labyrinth of Evil wrote:To the rear of the car, where Grievous's pair of MagnaGuards had made the mistake of pitting themselves against Kit Fisto, the Nautolan's blade was a cyclone of blazing blue light. Resistant to the energy outpourings of a lightsaber, the phrik alloy staffs were potent weapons, but like any weapon they needed to find their target, and Kit simply wasn't allowing that. In moves a Twi'lek dancer might envy, he spun around the guards, claiming a limb from both with each rotation: left legs, right arms, right legs...
The speed of the train saw to the rest, ultimately whisking the droids into the canyon like insects blown from the windscreen of a speeder bike.
Overall, Ti has nothing that compares with Korr. His feats are better (especially if we take JA into the equation as well), his accolades are superior and Ti’s most impressive feats are riddled in circumstances that make it impossible to quantify them.
I don't know about you, but when it shows only Shaak holding it back, even after showing Anakin and Obi-Wan were doing something, that generally indicates that she was doing the brunt of the work. Kit Blitzed 2 Magnas, Shaak fought the army, but you're also forgetting the fact that she had been running all over Courscant, fighting off Grievous and Magnaguards along the way. Plus, she can be seen leading Magnaguards away from Palp, or running back to help defend him. She didn't just drop into the battle fully prepared and do it, she was probably exhausted and yet she still takes out a ton of them. I really don't care what Korr has for accolades.

Considering that in the scans I provided you ( it’s the Italian version, sorry but I only had those) Obi wan tells Anakin to concentrate it means the two were putting effort. Ti only added later to push back the rubble and the remaining water, and she is exhausted afterwards, I don’t really see the impressiveness of the feat.I don't know about you, but when it shows only Shaak holding it back, even after showing Anakin and Obi-Wan were doing something, that generally indicates that she was doing the brunt of the work.
This actually works in my favor. If a less “tired” Ti has difficulty against a single magna guard, how is a more tired Ti going to stalemate a group of those? See my argument aboveKit Blitzed 2 Magnas, Shaak fought the army, but you're also forgetting the fact that she had been running all over Courscant, fighting off Grievous and Magnaguards along the way. Plus, she can be seen leading Magnaguards away from Palp, or running back to help defend him. She didn't just drop into the battle fully prepared and do it, she was probably exhausted and yet she still takes out a ton of them.
I think they are definitely worth taking a look: they range from him being taken in the highest esteem by Luke for his skill (because he’s a prodigy) to being considered a dangerous opponent by the One sith order.I really don't care what Korr has for accolades.
