This guy was pretty fair, I think.KaiusCormere said:Sauron 1v1 -
Strengths - He is a lesser god-being. Thousands of Years of Experience, knowledge
Weaknesses - He put his main power into a ring. He is pretty much running around gimped from that.
Voldemort 1v1 -
Strengths - He is a strong mortal sorceror, but has 7 things you have to break before killing him.
Weaknesses - I don't think he can resist Sauron's mental corruptions. Saruman was thousands of years old master wizard who couldn't.
Vader 1v1 -
Strengths - Better at physical combat.
Weaknesses - Force abilities lack the unlimited range and power of magic. He could probably resist Sauron's mental attacks, and kill Sauron.. I don't know if he could do anything about Voldemort who is not outright slayable to any method Vader has.
Sauron's Army -
Numbers : B - Orcs seem to outnumber anyone else on Middle Earth.
Skill : D - Orcs are not really skilled, almost no orc is a match for a human soldier in a single combat.
Equipment : F - Orcs have shoddy medieval weapons.
Vader's Army -
Numbers : A - Recruiting an army from vat grown clones or recruiting them from a galaxy-spanning empire. Either way, Vader has this on lockdown.
Skill : F - "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise".
Equipment : A - Well, Star Wars level of Technology assures them victory.
Voldemort's Army -
Numbers : F - A sect of rogue mages primarily in England, their numbers can't be more than a few thousand.
Skill : A - They actually know what they are about. Individually, they can threaten main characters.
Equipment : C - Modern and Magical equipment is fairly potent.
Army Battle Conclusions -
Vader will win any war, Voldemort's Army would win any light skirmishing or raiding. Sauron's army would roll over and die.
1v1 Conclusions -
Vader will win against Sauron because Sauron doesn't do overt magic really and Vader has a weapon that can chop off the ring.
Vader will lose against Voldemort because Voldemort generally can't be killed.
Sauron will win against Voldemort because Sauron can't be killed by Voldemort's magic, and can destroy Voldemort's mind with his more dominating mental presence.
I agree that Voldemort's/Sauron's invincibility is overstated, as they both went through lengthy resurrection processes. Assuming Vader fought against both and one, he'd have to have really, really, really good intel, else he wouldn't know anything about the Ring or Voldemort's horcruxes. Voldemort, for instance, never told even the Death Eaters closest to him that he had created horcruxes, and even if one were to assume he had made one like other dark wizards before him, there was no precedent in the wizarding world for making more than one. And Voldemort made 7, one of which even he didn't know about.RandV80 said:Yeah I'm going to go with the Dark Lord of the Sith here.
First of these are Dark Lord's we're talking about, you're not going to get them brawling it out in a dark lord to dark lord free for all. They'll work from the shadows and only emerge to crush their opponent when victory is assured.
So going from that, two of the contestants have their fates tied to Magic McGuffins which if exploited can lead to their demise. One of the contestants has precognitive abilities. So yeah, Vader can go the Dumbledore/Potter and Frodo/Sam route to exploit their weaknesses and take the victory.
Also, Potter fans seem to be over-exaggerating Voldermorts invincibility. The books don't really go into detail on exactly what that means, but we know when his killing curse got deflected back on him and he spent the next 10-15 years in a weakened spirit form, alone and near helpless. Even when he started to get help it was still a ***** to get himself resurrected and back in the fight. The way I would interpret this is that his forbidden magic is as much about making him more powerful as it is immortal. You should still be able to KO him with a death blow making him weak and helpless, then destroy him permanently by destroying his horcruxes.
Shields's mate, and lightsaber's have a hard time going through Beskar, let alone magically enhanced shields made by a demigod who's a master at the forge.sirtommygunn said:Fine then, Vader beats Sauron on account of being a better swordsman. All he needs to do after all is cut off the guy's ring finger.Winnosh said:Lightsabers don't cut through everything and Sauron's wielding God forged weaponry in addition to being a Demigod sorcerer capable of corrupting the nature of the universe just by sitting casually.sirtommygunn said:Assuming that it's 1v1v1 and all of them know what each other are capable of, then Vader wins. He would force choke Voldemort so he couldn't cast spells, and his lightsaber would go right through Sauron's mace so he could easily cut down Sauron while still choking Voldemort.
False. Witches and Wizards can leave earth, and there are accounts of them doing so. One account has a witch traveling to her moon on a broomstick. All they would need is to get one death eater into the hanger of a Star Destroyer, and then they can just apparate back and forth from Earth.FalloutJack said:The first and foremost is that Voldemort and Sauron can't leave the planet, nor can any minion they have or any creature under their command.
Must've either missed that or forgotten, 'cause I did read the books. I guess that means the Empire WOULD take space losses then. Not enough, of course. There's like a thousand Storm Troopers for every man, woman, and child on Earth, I think. I think the rest of my post holds true.Imperiused said:False.

Mind, Vader would be most secure in a victory if he would just destroy Earth with the Death Star.
How he would get to Middle-Earth is a completely different story, though.
