BeastMan14's "Mongrel" edges

Close-Range: At face value, they appear to be wielding the same weapons. But it's more than that. Malgus has a large mastery of a variety of styles and is a much stronger and faster attacker than Vader up-close. Vader's a tough fighter no doubt, but he's slow up-close and he tends to rely on his force powers more often that his lightsaber. Edge: Darth Malgus

Mid-Range: There's no real difference between the attacks, nor how the warriors use them. Edge: Malgus

Long-Range: Vader's force punches don't do much for him beyond making stronger up-close, while Malgus's force leap will enable him to close the distance on Vader when he attempts to use his classic "back up and throw things at you" tactic and continue his up-close devastation. Edge: Darth Malgus

Special: First off, no Force Lightning for Malgus? Shameful. Anyway, Vader's Force Choke is really useful when it comes to immobilizing the opponent, but I doubt Vader could really use to hold onto Malgus long enough to do large amounts of damage, nor could he use it to finish Malgus off. Malgus's Force Speed sounds simple, but it makes Malgus attack and move twice as fast as he normally would, making it go from hard to impossible for Vader to keep up with Malgus at any range. Edge: Darth Malgus

Deadliest Warrior: Darth Malgus. Ultimately, Malgus is simply the superior Sith Lord in this fight. He's stronger, he's more experienced, he's better trained, and he's a MUCH better Force user and duelist. Vader was mostly a lot of wasted potential thanks to his duel on Mustafar, which left him disconnected from a lot of the more powerful Force abilities. Malgus's injuries? They barely held him back from his true potential, and if anything, he became even stronger after his injuries. Vader is far from the most powerful Sith Lord, and Malgus will stomp him into the dust like it's nothing. Score: 750-250
