====== Commander Shepard vs Darth Vader ====== ===== Arsenal ===== ^ Commander Shepard (Sentinel class) ^ Name ^ Darth Vader ^ | Overload | Close Range weapon | Force grip | | Tempest submachine gun | Medium Range | Lightsaber throw | | Biotic Throw | Long Range | Force throw | | M920 Cain | Special Weapon | Lightsaber | | Advanced biotic implants, Kinetic barrier, extreme training and a new lease on life. | X Factor | Formerly the strongest force user ever, has Jedi and Sith training. | ===== Judge's Analysis ===== For the close range weapons, I give Vader's force grip the edge. It kills in seconds depending on how much pressure he wants to use where Shepard's Overload biotic is primarily useful in defeating shields or synthetics. (Which Vader is part synthetic... But only part.) Though they are classed as short range abilities, they are both able to be used farther than that away. Though Shepard's has better range, it may not kill Vader in one shot while Vader's most certainly will kill Shepard (even through the space suit.) For the Medium range weapons, I give the edge to the Tempest sub machine gun because it fires faster and doesn't take as long to reload. If Vader misses with the Lightsaber throw, it takes some time before he can recall it to throw again, leaving him slightly less defended. For the long range weapon, both users have a throw move. I'm calling this one a tie because the upper limits of their throw's abilties aren't known and a throw along isn't going to kill the enemy. (Both would just land, recover and proceed to fighting.) For the Special weapons, I'm giving Vader the edge because his weapon also acts defensively, allowing him to stop Shepard's bullets. His weapon also doesn't take as long to fire. ===== Results ===== Vader edged out Shepard due to his force powers being just too much for Commander Shepard's biotic powers.
