Ranking Force Users

Posted by silentbat (125 posts) - 17 hours, 10 minutes ago - Show Bio
In most of the battle threads there is always obscure discussion of where each Jedi and Sith rank in there own "tiers." I decided it's time to actually try and create that list as a reference tool.
Originally we used Nick Gillard's system as basis but now we are going a bit different, considering there are some other even higher Force users.
So here is my list. Keep in mind I'm observing all these folks at their primes.
I will eventually be reposting this with a more complete list.
Tier 10
The Ones
Abeloth
Tier 9
Grand Master Luke Skywalker
Grand Master Yoda
Darth Caedus (recently added)
Darth Nihilus
Darth Plagueis (moved up from Tier 8 by @jaken7)
Darth Sidious

Agen Kolar
Anoon Bondara
Asajj Ventress
Exar Kun (debated to be moved up by @zaied and @masterkungfu)

Lord Adraas
Lord Kas'im (moved down from Tier 8 by @shootingnova, debated to be lowered)
Lord Vindican
Luminara Unduli
Rahm Kota
Shaak Ti (moved down from Tier 7 by @shootingnova)
Ven Zallow (moved down from Tier 7 by @wolfrazer)
Tier 5
Ashoka Tano
Barriss Offee
Foul Moudama

Xanatos
Tier 4
Aurra Sing
Tier 3
Petro

Zett Jukassa
Tier 1

Now I would be the first to say this list is not final and I know I've probably missed some characters but that is what this is all for! I want us to debate and discuss, as I know we all love doing, to get these folks into the spots they should be.

@silentbat: Shaak probably should be lower. Also... Krayt at 10? Nick Gillard's ranks are in relation to combat skill, and in that area, Krayt was not impressive at all, let alone top-tier. Krayt's knowledge of esoteric powers and decent feats of Force potency are his only impressive factors, aside from his durability and possibly speed. Other areas weren't very noticeable.
Also, Nick Gillard said Yoda was a nine, not a ten, in combat skill, at least. Sidious was also a nine, to memory.
You're also overrating Kas'im, Exar Kun and probably Bane as well. Also, the Force user protagonists of TOR should be around. Nihilus shouldn't be ten. He is powerful in some ways, but he is also not very powerful in others. I refrain from ranking him entirely for that reason. Mace should be an eight. His feats are only slightly superior to characters like Obi-Wan. He is a tier 9 in terms of skill, but in other areas he isn't as high.
You also have no post-RotJ Jedi, aside from Luke and Leia (I assume you received knowledge on the latter from our CaV). Jaina, Kyp, Mara, Corran Horn and Kyle and many more should all be up here, along with Darth Caedus/Jacen Solo, who should also be a tier 10, or at least a tier 9 (I'd still go for ten if you place Yoda there).
Also... Nejaa Halcyon should be here as well. Probably tier 8.

@silentbat: I do believe Qui-Gon and Malak should be a tier higher. Also, you put Traya and Kreia as separate characters. They're the same.
I need more time to read through the rest of this. I'll respond again later.

Hm..
Lets see,
Tier 10
Grand Master - Luke
Grand Master - Yoda
Darth Plagueis
Darth Sidious
Darth Nihilus
Master of the Order - Mace Windu
I agree with most of your tier 10 list except Krayt. I will do the rest later.

Alright, made the first few updates to it.
@shootingnova Alright see you later. You mean Meetra Surik right? Let me add her now as well.
@erkan12 I know we'll have some folks to debate if Mace Windu is top tier. I, for one, think he should not be up there because he has not performed top tier levels consistently.
I know this will take a while to get through and get right but it should be fun getting to a more complete list :-D

@silentbat: Where did I say anything about Meetra Surik? I don't think you did put her, though.
I'd really say Kas'im deserves to be a 6 or 7, really. Not that impressive. He keeps getting wanked because of some level of lightsaber form mastery he achieved. Not a proper substitute for feats.
Satele should be an eight because she's unimpressive a combatant.

@silentbat: Darth Caedus needs to be in Tier 10, and Nihilus really doesn't deserve to be there. Plo Koon is on Mace's level, so he should be in the same tier. I understand why you put him where you did though, and won't hold it against you if you decide not to move him. Also, be cautious of listening to Erkan, as he's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs when it comes to Star Wars.
Oh, and Plagueis should be in Tier 10 as well.

@shootingnova: Would you agree that Plagueis should be in 10? Also, how do you feel about Starkiller being in 9? I really Don't think he should be there, but I'm almost positive that's just my bias towards Marek talking...

@jaken7: Starkiller, as the clone, is very powerful. He well transcends Plagueis in telekinesis. But he's a ridiculous character who was rendered non-canon even before the split between the EU and the rest, and his dueling skills are appalling.
Plagueis might be a ten, but his lack of skill feats somewhat holds him back.

@shootingnova: Hmm. I suppose, but everything he did show would imply placement in that tier. Lack of any significant skill showings certainly is an issue though. Heh. Let's put him in Tier 9.5. Problem solved.

Agreed about Windu and Koon. That's why I specifically said that they should be in the same tier, as Koon is on Mace's level. Not necessarily that Koon should be moved up.

@shootingnova: Read the thread. Very interesting stuff. Didn't know he was capable of Alter Environment. Unfortunately, he has virtually no dueling or combat feats. I'd still place him at around tier 8 though.
On second thought, 7 might be slightly more appropriate.

@silentbat: If Luminara and Bastila are 7s, then Aayla should be too. She's not the most impressive of Jedi, but she's still a capable mid-tier duelist. A step above Ahsoka for certain.

Kun should be higher IMO, and if you have Katarn in Tier 8 you could place Jaden there as well I think.

I strongly disagree with Kun being any higher than 8. All of his feats are don't indicate that class, unfortunately.
I did forget Jaden Korr, though.

@shootingnova: Fair enough. Mace is in Tier 9 and I always thought Kun and Mace were about equal.
Tier 8 is a good spot for Jaden. His force abilities were incredibly versatile and his progression in both sides of the force was impressive considering his limited experience.

#38 Posted by Intrepid37 (677 posts) - 13 hours, 35 minutes ago - Show Bio
Something along the lines of:
Tier 1
The Ones
Abeloth
Tier 2
Luke
Palpatine
Yoda
Tier 3
Plagueis
Caedus
Hero of Tython
Vitiate
Tenebrous
Tier 4
Revan
Anakin
Vader
Tyranus
Mace
Traya
Tier 5
Maul
Malak (with the Star Forge)
Malgus
Kenobi
Satele
Kun (with the gauntlets)
Kyp
From there on out, it because too complicated because of the vast amount of characters almost identical in their combat abilities.
I also didn't include several TOR characters, namely the Sith, because they're hard to rank.

#39 Edited by Wolfrazer (5953 posts) - 10 hours, 58 minutes ago - Show Bio
Why are Ven Zallow and Cin Drallig here?
I mean yeah Zallow showed some fight against Malgus, but that's pretty much it, unless he's been expanded on past wise as of late.
Cin Drallig...all he's got going for him was that he is a Jedi Battlemaster and was highly regarded by Dooku. Well that and some sources do label him as a master duelist and so forth.
I'd prob put Cin with Zallow if they gotta be here, but neither of em have really shown anything.

Ok did some major updates to the list, especially with Tier 10 being raised. @intrepid37 made a good suggestions of Abeloth and The Ones being up there.
@dccomicsrule2011 Start a tier at a time. Don't look at it all at once, that'd be overwhelming. Take it piece by piece. Or look at it character by character and build from there.

True, they are stronger. However, since you asked this as ''Jedi & Sith'' they are not belong to this list.
