What instances of actual ragdolling/one-shotting can you cite?
May 17th 2019, 9:07 am
"Actual ragdolling/one-shotting" consists of the victim having their active Force barriers torn through and being wholly unable to resist the opponent's power. Cheap-shots and exploiting defensive lapses are considered as illegitimate. Cases where you believe X is capable of dominating Y but has not directly done so are also not permissible.

The Luke Vs Caedus is the easiest one that comes to my mind:
In the next instant, Caedus found himself flying across the cabin toward his observation bubble. Luke had not gestured, had not flinched, had not even shifted his gaze; he had simply grabbed Caedus in the Force and hurled him five meters into his chair.
"Don't lie." Luke started across the cabin. "I'm getting tired of it."
Caedus sprang out of the chair... or attempted to. Instead, he found himself struggling against an invisible weight. He felt as if he were accelerating to lightspeed with a faulty inertial compensator.
"Luke, you've gone mad." Caedus reached for the controls on the arm of his chair and discovered he couldn't even do that much. "You can't do this. I know you're having trouble dealing with Mara's death, but..."
"This has nothing to do with Mara," Luke said. "And you're lucky it doesn't. If she were here-if she had known what you were using Ben for-there'd be pieces of you scattered along the entire length of the Hydian Way."
The irony of the statement was far from lost on Caedus, but he was too astonished-and too frightened-to take any pleasure in it. While it was true that Luke had taken him by surprise, it was equally true that he had done so with no visible effort-and that he was continuing to hold him with no apparent exertion.
Keenly aware that all that stood between him and a quick death was Luke Skywalker's much-strained sense of decency, Caedus let a little of his very real fear seep into the Force, just enough to seem properly alarmed.
[...]
"Then I'll take it for what it's worth," Luke said. Leaving Caedus Force-pinned in his chair, he started toward the door. "I'll show myself out."

Dooku's ragdolling of Anakin comes to mind;
And Ventress;
He felt the dark side of the Force grow and gather, and he wanted to call out to Anakin, but didn't want to give away their positions.
He needn't have worried. Whoever the Sith was, he knew exactly where Anakin was, for, to Obi-Wan's horror, his apprentice was suddenly lifted like a doll and flung into the air. Anakin's body slammed into the wreck of a cruiser. He fell to the ground.
-- Jedi Quest: The Final Showdown
And Ventress;
Dooku's lip curled in a manner that might have been a smile or a snarl. Abruptly Ventress found herself dangling in the air as he whirled her around behind him and then threw her down like a spoiled child discarding a disliked toy.

If it's not specifically stated that X had their force barrier up and Y completely smashed through it, all ragdolls are just cheapshots imo. 'Tis a standard we should uphold.

I just remembered an example of one shooting, that being bota-empowered Vader against an imperial inquisitor:
Coruscant nights 3: patterns of the forceHe had not time to be stunned. He struggled to parry the random blasts, but Vader's instability was roiling the Force so badly, a few blast got though. One was enough to crush the third Inquisitor.

Going to go through these:
Text makes note Caedus didn't have a barrier up.
Unclear if applicable.
Ventress was thrown before she realized what was going on.

I don't think the Sith would have up a barrier in that instance, plus Cilghal's point the Sith may not even be Force sensitive.
![What instances of actual ragdolling/one-shotting can you cite? 1289255181](/users/4212/12/22/43/smiles/1289255181.gif)
More or less.
More or less.
Great feat, but doesn't satisfy OP.
I'm not convinced that the Outlander had an active Force barrier up, or else there shouldn't have been much a fight.
I'll go through the rest later.
The Luke Vs Caedus is the easiest one that comes to my mind:

@azronger that was un unbelievable feat for me. He had very little training at the time. I don’t think Anakin Skywalker could have done it with so little training. But here is the feat:
coruscant nights 3
Later it’s confirmed by another inquisitor, who was watching the scene that it atomized his body so much that it didn’t even remain an echo of his force signature. That’s extremely impressive
Kaj turned and raised his hands, delivering a massive force-push from every angle against the inquisitor. One moment the inquisitor was falling toward Laranth, power streaming from his hands- the next he was simply gone. Where he had been there was only a fine swirl of ash.

@DarthAnt66 Second Caedus ragdolling applies though, it' explicitly noted he throws up a defence yet still gets TK launched into the side of his StealthX:
-Revelation
Luke's StealthX nudged him again from behind-how? Caedus couldn't see. Force push? Something metallic inside the fuselage shrieked. He had a sense of someone rummaging furiously in the drives as if looking for a dropped hydrospanner, throwing fragments into the coils. He's ripping the thing apart...
Caedus tried to block Luke in the Force and suddenly got an idea of just how much power Luke could muster. His seat shot forward, sheared off the runners, tipped to one side, and he hit the console at an angle before he could buffer the collision with the Force. Something cracked in his chest. Pain flared, stopping his breathing.

With the Dooku/Ventress one, I think Dooku basically just whittled her down briefly, and there was either a slip in her barrier or she simply didn't have the means to prevent Dooku from breaking through it due to exhaustion.
