The thing I LOVED about the Vader v/s Cere fight was, when Vader kills cere, he just left the scene & did not give 2 shits about her. He was like, you gave me a good ass fight, but at the end of the day I got Star Wars cannon on my side b*tch. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
it's nice to see cere in the same place obi-wan was as a jedi. they were both jedi masters from before the purge, they stumbled for a while before getting back into the swing of it, they conquered their fear and emerged better, like going through a trial. unfortunatley for her she wasn't quite on obi-wans level, strong enough to fight in that division but not the best of the best. still gave him probably the third hardest 1v1 he had against a jedi since becoming vader, with only luke and obi-wan doing more and ahsoka with an ezra distraction getting a hit on vader. seen a lot of weird vader should rinse her takes and it's like he did in the first game, he still won here, just because mohammad ali isn't knocking someone out round 1 and is taking some hits doesn't mean he didn't win in the end. funny thing is that this game is set the same year as the kenobi show where he gets battered, halfway between rots and anh, i assume it's like that to show him transitioning into the less cocky vader after these fights.
Well put my g, I said the same thing. This is just showing vader truly start to throw away anakins overconfidence and adopting the cold and calculating persona of the vader we know today.
@Dohk Honestly the fact that Vader is much weaker than Anakin, and yet is still pretty much shown off as a unstoppable force of nature outside of a few instances, goes to show how powerful he really used to be
I was so mad. I liked Cordova, he was one of those wise Jedi that had a lot of influence on cal, the whole purpose of the last game was to complete what he started
@@ultradeathboy FR he was pretty much part of the Main cast with how integral he was to the plot, and seeing him in person just chilling was crazy. It's like imagine watching Bill Nye in school for science class for YEARS and then now Bill Nye is one of your professors in College
I hate how my mind works cause that whole fight I knew Cere would die because for continuity reasons, they can’t kill off Vader If they do a 3rd game, I can only guess (hope) that you fight Vader as a big final boss and Cal dies
begging you to start putting your cam in the bottom left corner cuz the only thing to cover down there is UI, vs covering a third of all the action on the screen
Lowkey wanna see a whole game where you play as vader. Set it after order 66 and the story could be depressing as hell cause that’s when Vader was at his most miserable but also his strongest.
@@rightguy200000 it’s less him taking damage and more his suit and cybernetics to be honest. Vader is already a walking corpse at this stage and his legs took the brunt of the damage I think, though he righted himself at the end. She did more damage to his suit than Ahsoka but less than Kenobi did, he still walked away the victor of the fight and that’s all that matters to him: winning.

Ima need that force unleashed 2 DLC playthru. My boi it pains my soul to not see you playing Skyrim, it must be done. For the love of Christ and my sanity Please play Skyrim
The actress who played Cere said in an interview that Cameron Monaghan (Cal Kestis) acted his heart out so much that she felt his *_actual_* tears falling on her face when they were motion-capturing this scene. Dude is an amazing actor.
@@tiagoalves2056I really want to know if this is before the obi wan show or after haha all we know is that’s it’s in the same year. But it would make sense why Vader went so hard in this is because he lost obi wan haha
36:34 i love this so much, because it shows that cal just stopped giving a sh*t because of what bode just did. Plus cal really just pulled a Starkiller and disrespected that trooper
For niggaa confused how Cere was able to give Vader such a hard time you gotta remember before she cut herself off from the Force she was a whole ass Jedi Master while Anakin was still only a Jedi Knight(and then had pretty much all of his potential yoinked by being set on fire and then put in a shitty robo suit by Palpatine). Whatever amp he would’ve gotten from going full into the Dark Side still would’ve only went so far Vader’s that absolute DOG fr but Cere not only reconnected to the force but had some years to get back to the point where she was and go beyond that. Vader at this stage where he’s still pissed and consumed by rage got his shit nearly clocked a couple times by now by Ahsoka and Obi Wan Its hard to tell where peak Vader would fr but in my opinion its after he gets clapped by Obi Wan and starts to go more quiet anger then that raging shit Edit: Lowkey tho….Dagan might pack Vader up if they boxed. Them High Republic niggas is no joke
Ngl, Dagan is at best Jedi Master level. Even then, you'd have to be at Mace Windu and Yoda levels to touch Anakin, yet alone Vader. Dude packed up a Jedi Master who trained to the same level as Mace Windu without a lightsaber. Vader is just built different
@@knightwhosaysno4392Anakin and Vader are not hugely far from each other power wise Dagan at his prime was a high republic and well known knight so he was the shit back in the day and back in the day everyone was the shit
@@ChristopherMorgan-oh6ki In comparison to the average Jedi in the Clone Wars, you're right. Dagan is definitely as powerful as a Clone Wars Jedi Master. Thing is that Mace Windu, Yoda, Darth Sidious, and Anakin were just insane. Each of them are specialized in such a way that Dagan would just fold, those guys got too much sauce
@@ChristopherMorgan-oh6ki Vader beat a Mace Windu level master while nerfed, without a lightsaber, and heavily injured. Anakin just isn't as durable, versatile, or focused as Vader. And focus is essentially power in Star Wars
Fun fact, this Vader moment took place a few months after the ending of Obi Wan Kenobi, so Vader was still recovering from his last fight with Obi Wan in the show, which is why he was so easy to fight.
@@ultradeathboy personally i go with it being before as the purge troopers here are phase 1, whilst kenobi had phase 2 purge troopers. the game even mentions there's something about a budget between isb and the purge troopers, so i guess they got new uniforms.
cere just being able to heal from the force alone shows how far she has come from fallen order, she went out fighting like a champ PUT SOME RESPECT ON CERE'S NAME
Thats one unfortunate thing about having an established and contiuned canon going pretty far past where the game is. Even if Vader and Palpatine were never mentioned or showed up….by virtue of knowing that whatever “big” thing you try doing obviously doesn’t work because it’s never mentioned later on when it really counts That space between Rots and a new hope is always iffy to play around in but that space between return of the jedi and the force awakens is a big wide enough time period to do some interesting stuff
@@ThaRealOne436 at least when you’re playing Shadows of the Empire, that takes place in between Empire and Return of the Jedi, you’re directly contributing to helping out the heroes who eventually take both Vader and Palpatine down
I was wishing for the Darth Vader part that we would switch to his pov on the last part of the fight, I still liked what they did here though. Can’t wait to play new game+ in a bit
That was the definition of an extreme diff fight If someone says extreme diff thats what i expect to see down to the line the winner walking away limping
Not really This is more hard diff for vader Extreme diff would be vader nearly dead on the floor having to wait for palpatine to come and grab his ass off the floor
its accurate. Vader is a cripple sith. He only at 30% of his full capabilities. Kit Fisto would have taken vader to the limit and kit was killed in one shot by palpatine.
