RESOLVED: In a fight to the death, Darth Vader would defeat Darth Revan

Although I frown upon the plagiarism, I will not make any points about it in my case. Also, I will not negate my opponents case in the first round as that would be unfair to him. I strongly affirm the resolution that "In a fight to the death, Darth Vader would defeat Darth Revan. " My first point is that Vader was known as one of the best fighters of his time, even before his turn to the dark side. He survived the Battle of Genosis and did very well in it too, even prior to the arrival of the other Jedi. And that was when he was still just an apprentice. He would go on to more or less defeat Count Duuko by himself. Then he discovered that Palpatine was a Sith and then after his turn he essentially killed Mace Windu, the best fighter of the time, and then went on to kill every Jedi who was at the temple, no easy task considering the number of Jedi that were there. He then went on to hunt down and kill almost all of the remaining Jedi, largely by himself. That was a task that Revan never accomplished himself even with all of his warships and minions. My next contention is that Darth Vader was always prepared. He always went into a task knowing what needed to be done and he went on to accomplish it. On the rare occasion that he was surprised (Han solo shooting him with the Falcon being the only time that comes to memory) he came out of the situation alive and usually victorious. Revan on the other hand, would have been defeated by Bastila and her companions (which had been a surprise attack and none of which were Jedi masters) if his apprentice hadn't attacked Revan's ship. Revan would have died there had it not been for the unusual act by Bastila. He was again surprised by the revelation that he was Revan after she/he was told the truth. My third contention is that Vader had a better connection to the Force. My basis of this is quite simple; he had a higher midichlorian count. This is apparent in the movies when it is stated that he had the highest count to date. This would mean a higher count than Revan, who would be on file since he was/is a Jedi. My 4th contention is that Vader could endure a lot more than Revan could. This is for the obvious reason that he was a cyborg. The benefits of his suit were enormous. The armor itself is the most obvious advantage; it could take some of the hits before Vader would even feel anything. According to starwars. com "Vader's armor was built around a plastoid girdle that protected his organic and synthetic internal organs. More visible durasteel plates covered his shoulders, upper body and shins. He wore a suit of quilted flexible blast-dampening multi-ply padding, and a cloak of armor weave. His gloves were made with a unique micronized iron that can deflect anything. .. " Furthermore, he had a regulated respiratory system and thus he would take longer to tire. Finally, since a large part of Vader wasn't actual flesh (legs and arms) he wouldn't feel pain from strikes as Revan would. Finally, it is illogical to even compare Vader to Revan. Due to the style of game, the combat strength or Revan could vary. Depending on what class of person and Jedi you became could drastically alter how many Force powers and attributes you had. So depending on who played the game Revan could be a really strong fighter who could challenge, but in my opinion not beat, Vader, or Revan could be a skill centralized player who would have no chance at beating Revan one on one. So in conclusion, Vader is widely considered the best fighter of his time, both as a Jedi and as a Sith. Furthermore Vader was always prepared and rarely surprised. Also Vader had the best recorded midichlorian count even through the newest series of books. Next, Vader's armored suit gave him a distinct advantage over Revan. And finally, due to the nature of the game which Revan came from, his/her skills varied immensely. For all of these reasons I urge a pro ballot. I look forward to the next round.
