Yeah, what's a couple of fights with a Forsaken? How's Egwene without her sa'angreal crutch? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 05/02/2010 11:40:13 PM
What about Lan vs. Galad? Isn't Galad a better swordsman than Gawyn? Or has Gawyn improved THAT much? And then, what about the variables? What would Lan and Gawyn be fighting for? And can we discount the fact that Nynaeve would step in if she felt Gawyn might hurt Lan and that Nynaeve can kick Egwene's butt asleep?


Egwene has actual fighting skills (as seen when she fought off the Seanchan), Nynaeve, while a powerhouse doesn't have nearly Egwene's skill.


What skill? Egwene did it all based on power. And she did not display any tactical accumen, she simply blasted away with a big gun. Nynaeve displayed ingenuity and adaptability in her fights with Moghedian that let her win 2 of 3. Take away the sa'angreal, add an opponent who watched Egwene grow up, and doesn't fight fair, and who has faced Moghedian and Egwene's only chance is if Nynaeve's greater attachment to her Two Rivers friends stays her hand and allows Egwene to take advantage of her own supreme indifference to those ties and kill Nynaeve without the remorse or compunctions that might give Nynaeve cause to hesitate.

Who would win in a fight? (yes, you read that right! ) Yondaime - 04/02/2010 10:38:01 PM 2689 Views
Gawyn. *chokes back the vomit that rushes up his throat* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/02/2010 10:53:37 PM 1416 Views

Huh? He was even WORSE in TGS. Lord Haart - 05/02/2010 05:14:16 AM 1204 Views
I dunno. He actaully DID stuff this time Yondaime - 05/02/2010 05:24:48 AM 1268 Views

Perhaps the key is that Gawyn is an even more simplistic thinker than Galad. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 06:20:06 AM 1150 Views
Again, what? When? Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 08:08:47 AM 1165 Views
Well, the fact that he's had access to one of the best educations in Randland Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 09:22:28 AM 1134 Views
Completely different subjects, and pretty insignificant, really. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 06:44:35 PM 838 Views
the person to beat Gawyn is Mat imlad - 06/02/2010 06:36:03 AM 1412 Views
Perrin would beat Lan?! *NM* BlackAdder - 06/02/2010 05:52:47 PM 1104 Views

Add Nynaeve and Egwene to the fight, that's something worth seeing then. Lord Haart - 05/02/2010 05:20:53 AM 1321 Views
Egwene would hand Nynaeve her ass darius_sedai - 05/02/2010 04:55:51 PM 1279 Views

That's not what RJ said. He said Nynaeve would be a little hard pressed Skeeve the Great - 05/02/2010 10:18:42 PM 1042 Views
she might be a little hard pressed to pass a test she should pass without thought! darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 05:56:38 PM 927 Views
Moiraine was hard pressed to pass, and she practiced for ages and is the #1 Battle AS. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 08:27:26 PM 1162 Views
she passed pretty easily IMO darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:12:13 PM 1238 Views

of course it does darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 05:48:41 PM 1211 Views
That's not how it happens in New Spring. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 07:00:52 PM 1129 Views
that's because Moiraine trained and is relatively skilled (for AS) darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 07:34:05 PM 1201 Views
That's nonsensical. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 09:02:13 PM 1208 Views

Yup, plus those were complex weaves that may have required multiple flows. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 08:30:52 PM 1153 Views
there is nothing to say that multiple weaves are involved. darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:16:29 PM 1098 Views
