@8bitgangsta:
and this version of predator as well Sheperd should keep up since Jango Fett, Cade Bane, and more peak humans have given Obi Wan difficulty.
Jango Fett and Cad Bane's feats don't just translate over to other characters - characters require their own feats. Also, Jango Fett fought a pre-prime Kenobi with aid from a starfighter laser cannon, and Kenobi was disarmed for the most part. What also aided Jango greatly was his ridiculously durable armor. In the case of Cad Bane, holding his own against canon Obi-Wan doesn't mean much in regards to Legends Obi-Wan. So neither of those feats apply to Shepard or the Pred.
First off, Yautja are WAY beyond peak human abilities. Especially the fact given that this is a Clan Leader Pred. Clan Leaders are quite stronger than your average Yautja. As they're able to slaughter Xenomorph Queens who are larger than the one from the 'Aliens' film with their bare hands; with ease were they only receive a few battle scars. Now for combat prowess, Clan Leaders are said to have developed martial arts superior to every art on Earth, and with skills described as a perfectly, complex choreographed dance.
Then as far as agility and reflexes are, EU Yautja on multiple cases have dodged modern military grade gunfire at point blank to close range. Including moving faster than a soldier's eye could follow and turning into invisible blurs of amazing speed. What's in it for Kenobi? I'll be honest, I'm certainly not knowledgeable on Star Wars. Just I could use a good argument and gain info on certain characters I'm not familiar with.
He is the weakest here in durability, no armor, and peak human durability, as well no healing factor.
No way is his durability peak human. His skull's durability was compared to that of a capital ship hull. He's taken physical strikes from Grievous that have killed many other beings, Force sensitive and non-Force sensitive alike. He's taken a beating from Durge and continued fighting at peak capacity. He's been crushed by platforms, withstood kicks from Grievous and Darth Maul which have destroyed the bodies and skeletons of other beings, survived the blast of a laser cannon/missile, tanked strikes from Jango Fett which have killed other Jedi in one hit, ect ect. His durability is very superhuman, and he has defensive powers like Deflection which contribute to his durability.
Likewise said before Yautja are WAY beyond peak human durability as well. Such as tanking a beating from Xenomorph Queens (larger than seen in the movies too) and still stand strong and victorious, survive a high speed dropship crash and explosion into a canyon + metal walls with no apparent damage, and withstanding the explosive and impact force of 3-4 hellfire missiles with only small skin wounds. Along with the ability to fight through massive vital organ damage and intoxicated, yet to emerge victorious.
Note that Yautja hide while thick and tough, their hide is only slightly more resistant than the toughest bulletproof vests. Their hide can only take so much, but is prone to being slit or wounded by repeated gun shots from modern to certain futuristic military grade ammunition. However, they cannot penetrate past the muscle and bone tissue of Yautja. Only futuristic armor piercing weapons can effectively bypass the muscle and bone of Yautja, but won't result in immediate death based on other consistent/related durability feats...
Obi Wan also has to get in close range while the other teams have range and AOE explosions.
Lightsaber deflection, Force Deflection, weapon TKing/crushing, acrobatics ect are all viable methods of closing the distance.
This I'd like to see how strong Kenobi is in terms of force powers. Anyways, ranged attacks is another method that the Clan Leader Pred can take out Kenobi. I wonder if Kenobi has deflected true explosive and plasma weaponry, which is the case here. Our Clan Leader is equipped with the standard Yautja arsenal. The shoulder cannon has been proven to have a rapid fire mode and has devastating explosive power even for an uncharged shot. What's even worse is the full charged shot which can turn a good sized space vehicle into small scraps of debris.
What's even more worse is beam mode where it's seen to vaporize two soldiers in one shot and burn a huge hole in a WW2 tank, shortly setting off an explosion. I want to say that the beam mode is unavoidable for Kenobi as it's basically an insta-hit shot. For he also may confuse the ammunition of the standard firing modes as laser bolt, thus might attempt to block them with his lightsaber. What I see is if the shoulder cannon bolts make contact with the lightsaber then an explosion will set off which will knock back Kenobi a great distance and disarm him.
I also want to bring in MC for he's another character here with ranged weapons and explosives. I believe he can take out Kenobi if he think of a proper plan and stays at a well enough distance. In which MC dispatches Kenobi at range with his hardlight snipers and rifles. If MC gets too close to Kenobi, I'll agree he's done for.
