    Oops, missed this one!

    I’ve always been a fan of Salm, so voting him. Similar reasons as above, I think his experience far outweighs Aril’s natural talent that we really don’t get to see a lot of in the books.

    Seeing as my last argument has been my onIy successful one so far, I will need to wait until the next time I get home drunk again to write my new arguments.8-}I wonder what they will be based on this time?

    Janson had more experience than Pash -- both served as Rogues, but Wes also has experience piloting in the Adumar campaign, Yuuzhan Vong War, and 2nd GCW. Add on the Wraith Squadron experience, and Wes wins easily.

    Regarding the Trump Battle: Both members of DE's trump died in Canon -- neither member of my trump died in Legends. Thus, I win.

    Lightning flashes as three pilots are pulled into battle

    Boba Fett looks to his left to see his wing mate.

    "It can't be", the often-killed but never-stays-dead overhyped and overrated Bounty Hunter thinks to himself "... dad?"

    Suddenly, the younger Fett's mind flashes back to his time as a young boy, watching his father's head be severed from his body. His eyes well up with tears, he remembers watching the lightsaber cut clean through, clutching the helmet, swearing to revenge. The feeling of loss, of anger, of hurt, of sadness - every emotion he's ever felt.

    And then he feels something else. not quite an emotion ... more a fireball. Because he forgot to ****ing pay attention to the pilot involved and was lost in his own mind and memories, and Plo Koon took the open shot, landing a direct hit on the Bounty Hunter, sending his ship up in flames and the Mandalorian crashing to the earth.

    now, with a 1x1 battle, Plo - who doesn't suck here - takes on Jango Fett in a match where the elder Mandalorian simply has no choice but to become "a simple man making his way to a crash landing somewhere in the universe"

    QED

    @SithOverlord101's feats this past semester:
    1. Is in 1st Place of the TFN Starfighter Draft (at least for now)
    2. Has graduated from a pretty tough college with a 3.55 GPA for his final semester and a 3.08 GPA overall (BA in History) while taking sixteen credit hours
    3. Is literal proof that qualifying for TFN draft playoffs is not necessarily correlated with a drop in GPA (in fact, I had my two BEST semesters after joining TFN this past September)
    Conclusion from all this: @SithOverlord101 should be voted for in all three of his most recent matches -- Piggy has more experience than Syal (Wraith Squadron and a bit of piloting in Mercy Kill); both other matches are addressed previously.

    No.

    (Yeah there's 39)



    Lulo + Shara v Face + Lara
    Yeah so Lara's basically useless right? Super short career, low cohesion with Face. My guys both have Endor to their credit (in the same squadron). Lulo's got ages of experience (and even has a sweet maneuver named for him); Shara doesn't have near as much experience (still a good bit though) but earned some good accolades early in her career (triple ace, Bronze Nova). Plus they have a good history of being friends and squad mates so the cohesion boost is there. Maybe something like Face + Kell could get them, but Face + Lara? Nah


    Not sure I'll be able to get anything for Pash v Wes soon (I've been crazy busy lately). I'm sure there's some good args in early drafts though [face_whistling]

    @DarkEagle Lara IS an ace -- she shouldn't be underestimated. She may be the weakest pilot here, but Face obviously has some trust in her -- otherwise, why would he have commed her to pick up and transport the revived Wraith Squadron in Mercy Kill?

    Jumping in...

    Farlander over Windu-- I love Mace though. Argue him.
    Ventress over Jace-- Bror is Broring (seewhatIdidthere) whereas Asajj credibly dogfought Anakin.
    Gavin over Lando-- But maybe not after RoS! lol

    Syal over Piggy
    Shara/L'ulo over Face/Fake Lara-- No disrespect to Face, who continues to be a blast (literally) through the NJO, but L'ulo is pretty damn good and I like Shara with him.
    Janson over Pash-- Janson has a better GPA

    Plo over the Fetts-- This should forever be known as The Draft Where Inty Says Plo Koon Doesn't Suck
    Poe over GI
    New York Mets over Fenn-- Again Nym is a poor man's Azzameen, and while I like that Fenn has taking out Hera on his resume, she was moreso just chilling there to protect Sabine vs. dogfighting when he nabbed her. Going with the career here.

    Stele/Gunn over Corran-- You trumped Stele and it worked lmao
    Phennir via forfeit
    Jaina over Lowie/Tesar-- Oh man.

    One last argument for Plo:

    Corran Horn is amazing, and Cade Skywalker is great.

    To follow up on @DarthIntegral's post:

    One last argument for Wes:

    Adumar -- Yuuzhan'tar -- 2nd GCW

    Oh, and Cade Skywalker is one of the most underrated Jedi of all time and Horn is an underrated pilot who could be argued as a late first-round pick in a ten-team draft.

    I’m picking Janson for sure.

    Been going back and forth on the other match but I think I’m sticking with my initial thought that Plo could take them. I just feel like we know the Fetts fly around but we don’t really ever see them in battles. They have cool weapons for hand to hand stuff but this is different and a Jedi pilot of PLO’s experience and caliber is just too much for them to take down.
