Nice work as always mate, I really appreciated the respect you gave Ventress. I feel like she is often very underrated and I definitely agree with the verdict
Rico, great. It wasn't a superiority in styles, rather a superiority in utilization of Force powers. Great. Extremely well done. I think you touched the characters true personalities. Thank-you, Dante.
Awesome video Rico. As much as I wanted Lucien to win, I agree with the verdict. I loved the editing and music choices of this video, especially the inclusion of the Terminator 2 theme song and the Skyrim soundtrack. Well done man!
For another SW match-up, I'd love to see him do one between Anakin Skywalker and Lucien Draay. And for a crossover, it'd be awesome to see Captain America from the MCU go up against Solid Snake.
Great vid, as usual, and I agree with the verdict. Even Shii-Cho masters seem to have a hard time with Makashi users, especially one as devious and tactically astute as Asajj.
It seems to me like a true mastery of Shii Cho gives a similar effect to Juyo, the only difference being Juyo being a controlled channeling of emotions, while Shii Cho is releasing control to the force
Man, Lucian Draay is just not having luck on these videos. Note to Rico, I agree with you on the verdict; I just wanted to point out that this is the fifth video I've watched featuring Draay losing to an opponent. He's lost to An'ya Kuro (by GreyJedi), he's lost to Galen Marek (by Jensaarai), and to Eeth Koth and Old Ben Kenobi (both by Evannova95). The only other person I've seen with a loss count equal to his is Ven Zallow.
***** I feel like for those two it could go either way, but I don't see him beating Galen, who I think would have a 9/10 victory over Draay, since I think Galen is more powerful than Ventress.
Good video. There are a few points I'd like to make though (no offense intended, this is meant purely as constructive criticism). 1) Kit wasn't 'that' tired when he fought Asajj. The novel even makes note of his high levels of stamina. He may not have been 'fresh as a daisy' but he still had plenty of gas in the tank. 2) Obviously this is just opinion but I'm inclined to agree with EvanNova95 in that Kit never really overcame Form I's innate weakness in single combat. His success against Grievous was due to the fact that fighting Grievous is similar to fighting a big group of foes (his entire approach is based on overwhelming enemies with the speed and number of attacks from multiple angles), something Kit is optimised to deal with. Again, this is just opinion. 3) You neglected to mention one of Asajj's biggest weaknesses; her reliance on 2 blades and difficulty coping if she loses one. This is particularly important given Lucian's skill at disarming foes.
I think you underplayed Makashi's advantage over Shii Cho even when utilized by highly skilled masters. Also raw power wise I think Ventress actually matches Lucien. Agree with the overall verdict and everything else. Great video Rico.
Shii-Cho is actually good against dual blades, mainly because the paired sabers would simulate a multi-opponent-like experience, something that Lucien Draay was well optimized to deal with. I did think Ventress would win this one though, so it was a good job, not that it would be a bad one if she didn't XD
Yeah, that is right to some degree actually, because the attack vectors are a lot different, but I highly doubt that Shii-Cho is completely useless against such forms of combat.
TreeckotheRebel definitely the team while obiwan is far from his physical prime he did intimidate Vader a lot considering what happened last time they dueled Vader decided to be cautious and go for a much more calculated approach instead of his usual dominating fighting style and if this is Ahsoka in rebel's her and obiwan together would be able to eaisly overwhelm Vader adding Kannan and Ezra would just be overkill although rex would be killed extremely quickly
great video man! I agree, please do pong krell vs the inquisitor next, I am very interested in the match up, does count dooku vs rahm kota force only sound cool?
Sorry, let me clarify. I mean that the way in which you do the verdicts are too specific. Like . . . the actions each characters take are too specific, like it's a scene rather than analysis like Evan and Jen do.
i sudgest anoon bondara vs Vrook lammar both of them are powerfull jedi masters of their respective eras and would pose good competition for each other
Triumvirate vs Rule of two. Triumvirate AKA Darth Nihilus, Darth Traya, and Darth Sion. Rule of two. Darth Bane, and Darth Zannah. Which rule would be better? Which rule is stronger? Which rule would win, IN A DEATH BATTLE!
+Skull Reaper Pretty sure Nihilus by himself is going to be a big problem for Bane and Zannah. If they somehow manage to resist his broken-as-fuck Force drain and cut him down, they'd still have a nigh-unkillable (albeit still relatively beatable) rage monster and one of the greatest manipulators and masterminds in Star Wars history to deal with. All three Triumvirate Sith have generally only been taken down by the Exile (i.e. highly circumstantial) or through manipulation and betrayal (also highly circumstantial). That isn't to say they're unbeatable, though.
Ok how more powerful is ban to sidious then? I thought that there power lv was some where in same ball park. Just sidious is more powerful. or maybe i'm just getting my lore off.
Skull Reaper Sidious is several levels above Bane in terms of magnitude and skill. Bane was powerful for his era, but some Old Republic-era Sith (Exar Kun, Revan, Malgus, Vitiate, Nihilus) and Rule of Two/Rule of One Sith (Sidious, Vader, Plagueis, Krayt, hell even Caedus) would beat him pretty handily or at least match him.
This was nice to watch. Just too bad that Lucien always loses. But, I have a few questions for you: 1. Will you be covering Vader or Krayt in the upcoming collab? (I predict that Krayt will win).2. What is your opinion on TCW and Rebels?
Nice work as always mate, I really appreciated the respect you gave Ventress. I feel like she is often very underrated and I definitely agree with the verdict
+Soup the Eternal I still think she's cute :)
Well done man, this video shows your growth as a versus maker through the professional quality you've made with what you've got. Keep it up.
Rico, great. It wasn't a superiority in styles, rather a superiority in utilization of Force powers. Great. Extremely well done. I think you touched the characters true personalities. Thank-you, Dante.

+Rico Chico Malico Awesome! I look forward to seeing it! :D
Great vid, as usual, and I agree with the verdict. Even Shii-Cho masters seem to have a hard time with Makashi users, especially one as devious and tactically astute as Asajj.
Exceptional work.
It seems to me like a true mastery of Shii Cho gives a similar effect to Juyo, the only difference being Juyo being a controlled channeling of emotions, while Shii Cho is releasing control to the force
Ahsoka Tano (Rebels) vs Qui-Gon Jinn or even Asajj Ventress seems like a great match-up, in my opinion.
Now this is an interesting matchup. Can't wait to see who wins though I'm assuming Ventress (fingers crossed).
I'm hoping Lucian :).
I'm hoping Lucian :).
+Phil Chucky Markes It was a close one. I thought that it would be a little closer but im pleased regardless (I was thinking 6-6.5/10)
Good video, I think it's a really well put together video and I love the music choice! Keep it up pal!
Man, Lucian Draay is just not having luck on these videos. Note to Rico, I agree with you on the verdict; I just wanted to point out that this is the fifth video I've watched featuring Draay losing to an opponent.

***** I feel like for those two it could go either way, but I don't see him beating Galen, who I think would have a 9/10 victory over Draay, since I think Galen is more powerful than Ventress.
Enjoyed and loved the video man. I was hoping maybe Darth Traya vs Darth Zannah? Maybe Shaak Ti VS Darth Maul?
Ok, Darth Traya vs Darth Zannah, decent. But Maul would absolutely destroy Shaak Ti
Love the video bro but I'm force sensing a Antoine bandele formula in your video
He's awesome as well but they do there battle videos differently which makes them unique which is epic :).
And Rico I think ventress is and form 4 and 5 sein special
+Rico Chico Malico I know it's just a similar formula with the rateing advantageges and saying when you useing these characters
+Rico Chico Malico oh did not relaze sorry
28 Days Later music in the background
What an amazing video! Can't wait the next one!
***** What's the next one going to be about?
***** Oh dear... Wonder why no one is doing Star Wars vs... Not a thing anymore?
***** Mace Windu vs Dooku then, should be epic! I know someone already done it but, what's your opinion? Who do you think was the better duelist?
***** We share the same opinion then, I never understood why Antoine said Dooku was much superior in dueling than Mace...
Try the 7th sister vs ventress
Really loved this :).

***** Well... That's debatable.
No problem. I've really enjoyed your videos.
Shii-Cho is actually good against dual blades, mainly because the paired sabers would simulate a multi-opponent-like experience, something that Lucien Draay was well optimized to deal with. I did think Ventress would win this one though, so it was a good job, not that it would be a bad one if she didn't XD
No problem. You do get where Im coming from, right? More than 1 blade is like more than 1 opponent, so Shii-Cho would be a good tool to use there.
Yeah, that is right to some degree actually, because the attack vectors are a lot different, but I highly doubt that Shii-Cho is completely useless against such forms of combat.
Definitely.
Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jairus, and Ashoka Tano, and Yoda vs Darth Vader
*****
oh ok so lets take out Yoda, and maybe add in Rex or Old Ben
TreeckotheRebel
definitely the team
while obiwan is far from his physical prime he did intimidate Vader a lot considering what happened last time they dueled
Vader decided to be cautious and go for a much more calculated approach instead of his usual dominating fighting style
and if this is Ahsoka in rebel's her and obiwan together would be able to eaisly overwhelm Vader
adding Kannan and Ezra would just be overkill
although rex would be killed extremely quickly
great video man! I agree, please do pong krell vs the inquisitor next, I am very interested in the match up, does count dooku vs rahm kota force only sound cool?
+Rico Chico Malico ok, what is the better lightsaber, the sabers used by the inquisitors or exar kuns lightsaber?
+Rico Chico Malico ok, any plans for a new series, i thank a what if series would be cool.
+Rico Chico Malico ok, thoughts on the jerec vs darth traya video, i agreed and enjoyed it. tho i know some will disagree
How about Lucien Draay vs Anakin Skywalker
I believe you did very good but I think the battle would go on a slight but longer
Very true I wanted to start a vs series but don't have the proper tools so I am watching professionals and people who are good at it and you are one
+Rico Chico Malico can you make a video on how to make a versus video
*****
Cool :D
Pretty good, the verdicts are a little too specific.
Sorry, let me clarify. I mean that the way in which you do the verdicts are too specific. Like . . . the actions each characters take are too specific, like it's a scene rather than analysis like Evan and Jen do.
Hmmm you're not understanding.
How about The First Order vs The Empire ? :).
Can't this wait until episode 9 to see more ships, and troops from the FO, and Snokes, and Kylo Rens power
lol really?
i sudgest anoon bondara vs Vrook lammar
both of them are powerfull jedi masters of their respective eras and would pose good competition for each other
old Ben VS THE emporor
Yes my fav Jedi :D.
Ahsoka (older) vs Jaden Korr pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
+Rico Chico Malico then can you use the young Ahsoka? I'm doing my first Star Wars versus video.
Triumvirate vs Rule of two.
Triumvirate AKA Darth Nihilus, Darth Traya, and Darth Sion.
Rule of two. Darth Bane, and Darth Zannah.
Which rule would be better?
Which rule is stronger?
Which rule would win, IN A DEATH BATTLE!
+Skull Reaper Pretty sure Nihilus by himself is going to be a big problem for Bane and Zannah. If they somehow manage to resist his broken-as-fuck Force drain and cut him down, they'd still have a nigh-unkillable (albeit still relatively beatable) rage monster and one of the greatest manipulators and masterminds in Star Wars history to deal with. All three Triumvirate Sith have generally only been taken down by the Exile (i.e. highly circumstantial) or through manipulation and betrayal (also highly circumstantial). That isn't to say they're unbeatable, though.
OK, how about vader and sidious then, vs the Triumvirate. would that even it out a bit....
Skull Reaper
Sidious/Vader wins, almost without a doubt. Hell Sidious *alone* would probably be enough to overwhelm all three.
Ok how more powerful is ban to sidious then?
I thought that there power lv was some where in same ball park. Just sidious is more powerful. or maybe i'm just getting my lore off.
Skull Reaper
Sidious is several levels above Bane in terms of magnitude and skill. Bane was powerful for his era, but some Old Republic-era Sith (Exar Kun, Revan, Malgus, Vitiate, Nihilus) and Rule of Two/Rule of One Sith (Sidious, Vader, Plagueis, Krayt, hell even Caedus) would beat him pretty handily or at least match him.
This was nice to watch. Just too bad that Lucien always loses. But, I have a few questions for you: 1. Will you be covering Vader or Krayt in the upcoming collab? (I predict that Krayt will win).2. What is your opinion on TCW and Rebels?
OK.
You know, there is an online petition for bringing back Count Dooku in Rebels (if they really do, I'll be really disappointed).
+Rico Chico Malico can the rebels malachor co exist with the eu?
+Rico Chico Malico the sith in the holocron better not traya. are you ok with the fact the maul him self thanks that vader is more powerful then him.
+Rico Chico Malico ok, could you do a vs short between the fifth brother and the seventh sister?
Rico, i haven't seen this yet, it is "loading". I would guess Asaj to win. Shii-Cho is chancy 1 on 1. Dante.
D'OH.
2005 Ventress may stand a chance
