... Is Magnus airborne?

@Raineh Daze

Why do I feel like no matter what answer I give to this, the end result is going to be yes? lol

Ahem, but no, Magnus is on the ground, walking, or rather standing at the moment.

Holding off on posting for Reinhardt until we actually have some sort of idea how this fight should... well, conclude. 'Cause I don't see an interruption happening, nor a win for Vader after walking in blind. :p

I need to find a good place to jump back in...

The place you jumped out hasn't moved.

I side with vader personally you're not a real team and none of you have a plan. So far half of you could have shot each other firing through a fog at random. There are dozens of examples of new teams with no stradegy tripping eachother up

Fortunately, only one person has a constantly repeatable ranged attack and Vader already decided to take the rocket equivalent attack to the face.

So a lack of synergy (because these aren't complete novices) has been more than equalised. <.<

... besides, what do you care about the outcome?

Man, it's going to be so hilarious when A+ Charisma gets turned on Magnus's entourage. XD

Anyways, hopefully going to do a Mei post later but we'll see how that turns out.

The Force would've lessened the impact by an agreeable margin. Vader isn't the type of guy who will be deterred by a blast like that. He even fought 8 Jedi on Kessel, killing all but 3 and it takes them combined to even hold Vader back by cutting an arm off him. Yes Vader was then saved by stormtroopers, however this can't really be used against him because at that point. It was only 1 month after Mustafar, so Vader still needed to improve/get stronger and get used to his suit. The fact that he still was able to do this and the fact it took 3 Jedi combined to hold him shows how powerful he still was... and is. Remember, this is Expanded Universe Darth Vader (combined with some traits from canon), so he's nothing to scroff at.

I say to let them fight for just a little longer, maybe rattle Vader down a bit, and retreat by stalling him. Again, like I said, I will allow them to win/make Vader fall back in their next confrontation if one does so happen to arise.

I want @thewizardguy to make his own opinion on this though.

[Derp Double Post]

@Masterkeun: That's not what's going on at all and that's a rude accusation.

The proposed outcome was a draw, and it's a three on one fight. That more then shows consideration for Vader's strength while also making it clear that it's difficult to win a three on one fight when the opposition knows about you, even if they haven't fought as a team before.

The only person who hasn't commented on this outcome is @thewizardguy. Everyone else involved thinks it's a fair outcome and we're just working out how to get there.

Almost forgot about that. What I said was basically pointing in for a draw. I think its pretty fair for both sides to leave it at that for the time being.

...Yeah, pretty sure you're the one being rude here.

OK, I'm back in the saddle after spending three days dodging cannabis smokers in the Netherlands.

On second thought... I will withdraw.

@Lmpkio@VitaVitaAR@Raineh Daze

Okay, so, take into account that Vader is ludicrously powerful. The dude picked up a Star Destroyer with the Force. That's at least 1000 tons of telekinesis right there. He also crushed an AT-AT once. As such, given a moment to focus, there is very little that he cannot straight-up kill.

Honestly, the only real hope anyone except maybe Magnus has of beating this guy is keeping him off-balance. If Set manages to land a blow to the more important parts of his suit Vader might be forced to retreat. But if he gets even a moment of not constantly defending against everything, he could apply his full power, which would practically instantly annihilate any of the combatants.

So yeah, even 3v1 with surprise and prep, best hope we have is making him withdraw. Actually defeating Vader would require far greater numbers, or far more powerful characters.

...Going to be honest, stuff like that is why I always tended to avoid the EU. It just makes so much stuff in the main canon make no sense whatsoever. ^^;
