Ninja vs. Darth Vader

[cmhardw]

I recently had an amazingly funny and memorable image during one of my blindfolded solves that put me in a creative quandary. In the same journey location I had to pit Darth Vader against a Ninja in an epic battle. Now you may think this would be quite easy to do, but in fact I found it very difficult to imagine who would have the upper hand, let alone be the victor.

Of course Darth Vader has force choke, and perhaps even force lightning. He has the ability to use force push, and his lightsaber would certainly melt any sword that the Ninja had to use.

BUT ... The ninja would have stealth and cunning at his/her disposal. S/he could lie in waiting using mediation to clear his/her mind and remain undetected by Darth Vader until it was too late, and either a well timed throwing star or dagger thrust ended the tale.

There is a very similar debate with some interesting (although mostly not on-topic) discussion on another forum for anyone who is interested.

So speedsolving forum, I leave it to you. Who would win?

Ninja or Darth Vader?

NINJA!

Quite honestly, probably Darth Vader. If he can deflect bullets from guns like all other Jedi, then he can block throwing stars too.

Oh and about daggers... I'm not sure daggers would have much of an effect as Darth Vader is already half machine by now (android arms, legs, breathing, etc) and the ninja would end up stabbing machines. However, if the ninja manages to attack Vader's air supply, things may turn out differently, but a few seconds after stabbing the air supply, Darth Vader would have sliced the ninja in half. I'd say a ninja would put up a good fight though

Darth Vader.

Darth Vader easy.

Darth Vader. Ninjas are good but he has the force and a fricking light-saber.

And a nice suit.

WHO IS VOTING FOR NINJA?!?!

Darth Vader has the FREAKING force. End of story. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

 

[Edward]

Darth Vader when one on one.

Depends on what type of Ninja and skill. I mean if Darth Vader were faced against these two:

I think they would have a pretty good chance.

Sorry but Orochimaru totally pwns Darth Vader

No Jeninja option?
Ninja for sure, you can't kill a ninja. Why you ask?
Because s/he is a ninja.

So we're talking about fictive ninjas with fictive capabilities as opposed historical ones?

matters

which ninja are we talking about

and how many


historical and 1on1 = Darth Vader

*Ninja sneaks up behind Vader*
*Ninja steals lightsaber*
*Ninja cuts off Vader's head*

For those saying Vader, I certainly agree that if you threw a Ninja and Vader both into a cage match, that Vader would certainly win this fight. No question. However, I can't imagine a scenario when the Ninja would be on equal footing with Vader like this. Because it is a Ninja, I imagine something more like what Cyrus said, the Ninja sneaks around somehow and steals Vader's light saber then uses it against him.

Ok, so let's take a creative license here. Imagine a Ninja assassin let loose on the death star. This Ninja's sole mission is to take out Vader by any means necessary.

Does s/he pull it off successfully?

--edit--
Ooh I like the idea of Scorpion vs. Vader, or Sub-Zero vs. Vader. That would certainly make the fight more interesting.

Exactly. I'm not a Star Wars fan so excuse any ignorance, but if Vader were faced against Sub Zero. Sub Zero has the chance to freeze Vader and smash him.

Imagine if the Ninja were Goku in Super Saiyan mode.
I'd also throw in these guys just for fun.

Darth Vader could never use force ligtning, due to his arms are machines too, so he would destroy them this way... but, he can sence Ninjas if they aren't trained in Force, so they could wait in meditation, but Vader would notice them. Even if the ninja threw come stars, he couldn't through the Vader's armour kill him, so he would lose anyway

for sneaking ninja... if Vader senced Luke on Endor, how couldn't he know about someone who's trying to kill him on Death Star? It's true that Sub-Zero or Scropion could have better chances (well Sub-Zero could freeze him, but Scorpion would probably still lose)
