Count Dooku vs Raskta Lsu

Count Dooku has no offensive use of the Force (he can use it internally for augmentation and precog). Worror is here providing Battle Meditation for Raskta (Worror can't be attacked, hurt, killed, or removed). The fight is to the death. Both are equipped with their lightsabers.

Who wins and why?

Why do you hate Raskta? :(

That girl is awkward to rank tbh. Still go with Dooku.

Tyranus

@banthabot: Lol I don't hate Raskta. I just struggle to place her tbh

Dooku

She puts up a fight, particularly because she has a BM amp and Dooku can't ragdoll the crap of her per the rules. But Dooku's got dis imo.

@themuser: Is it really possible to evaluate Raskta in battles without her BM amp?

@nfactor1995:its much more difficult, a lot of speculation.

Honestly, I'd side Raskta. Her sheer speed in this state is pretty insane, and with BM amping her I have a hard time seeing her tiring.

Tyranus, every time.

Only Bane wankers believe otherwise.

@geistalt: terrible attempt at b8 m8

@emperordmb: Yeaaaaaah.....I feel like I will actually lean towards her. I feel like she can secure a victory on accolades alone training her entire life with sabers, plus being echani, plus being amped by BM.

Dooku 10/10.

None of her speed feats are better than the Count's, or even someone like Pre-TCW Grievous, whom Dooku routinely defeated with ease. Grievous also had virtually unlimited stamina.

Tyranus.

@shootingnova: Aside from levying half a dozen strikes in less than the time it took Bane to cover 2 meters when he was running fast enough to blitz an unamped Farfalla.

@jeditraining101:

See, I can quote posts too.

Dooku every single time. If you want to defeat Dooku in a duel, you have to combine speed with brute Force, (i.e. Zonakin), and Raskta may have the speed, but she won't have anything close to the strength. Dooku is perhaps the greatest Form II master that we've seen in SW. Only Yoda was greater than Dooku at dueling, and Mace Windu was the only other person who could equal him.

Raskta may have slaughtered numerous amounts of Sith during the fight against the Brotherhood, but how great were those Sith? Not that great, as it was the weakness of the Brotherhood that led Bane to destroy the entire order himself. So, she may have killed scores of fodder Sith, sure. But, Dooku is not fodder. Dooku is equal to or greater than Bane in the Force, and definitely greater in sabers. Dooku has 70 + years of dueling experience, as well as the feats of ROFLSTOMPING Kenobi and Skywalker in AOTC, fighting on par with Yoda, casually defeating Grievous, casually defeating Ventress and Vos at the same time, etc.

TL;DR-Raskta can't get past Dooku's defense, and his bladework is far too precise. He WILL land a killing blow, it's just a matter of him picking his moment.

@emperordmb Your Point?

The text explicitly notes that she had neutralized his attack, meaning that the charge would've stopped. So she never landed the half a dozen strikes in less time than Bane could reach Farfalla, since his initial charge was neutralized to begin with.

Raska's blue blades flickered too quickly for the eye to see, neutralizing her enemy's initial, wild attack then landing half a dozen lethal blows to his chest and abdomen.

@shootingnova: That means his lightsaber strike... or did you conveniently miss the next sentence in that quote?

Raska's blue blades flickered too quickly for the eye to see, neutralizing her enemy's initial, wild attack then landing half a dozen lethal blows to his chest and abdomen. But instead of toppling, the big man kept coming, never even breaking stride.

Rule of Two

@emperordmb: I actually did, in fact. Embarrassing. Where's the quote for it being two meters, though?

Not that this is better than Pre-TCW Grievous' showings, anyway.

@shootingnova: if Raskta's within striking speed of Bane, and she hits him six times before he reaches her, that's within two meters. (Unless of course she's freakin Slenderman or something).

And not really tbh. Landing six strikes before Bane running fast enough to blitz a Jedi can cover two meters is above even ROTS Grievous's striking speed.

@emperordmb: Untrue. Obi-Wan in RotS could deflect omnidirectional blaster fire from an entire droid army, and he still couldn't move remotely as fast as Grievous.

And as with Raskta, speed alone doesn't allow Grievous the ability to overcome any foe, since Dooku routinely beat him with ease. So you'll have to give me more for Raskta than her speed if you want me to take your word for her defeating Dooku. On the other hand, I can cite Dooku contending with Yoda or RotS Anakin + Obi-Wan, characters who dwarf Raskta in combative ability.
