Who would win in a fight? (yes, you read that right! ) Yondaime Send a noteboard - 04/02/2010 10:38:01 PM
Lan or Gawyn?

*insert obligatory LAN IS AN UNSTOPPABLE JUGGERNAUT comment here*

Seriously though, who do you think is a better swordsman?

Sure, Lan is the uncrowned king, bad@ss of the blight, and killer of myrdraal, but Gawyn isn't too far behind. After all, Gawyn did managed to take on TWO warders at once, one of which was able to match Lan twice in seven bouts. He also beat those two every single time he fought them. Who do you think would win?

:|
"Take the Gleeman!" Rand and Mat cried, throwing Thom to the Myrddraal. Then they ran away as fast as they could, and Thom's screams quickly faded into the distance along with any inconvenient feelings of guilt.

Gawyn. *chokes back the vomit that rushes up his throat* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/02/2010 10:53:37 PM 1742 Views
There there Yondaime - 04/02/2010 11:15:00 PM 1678 Views
Huh? He was even WORSE in TGS. Lord Haart - 05/02/2010 05:14:16 AM 1531 Views
I dunno. He actaully DID stuff this time Yondaime - 05/02/2010 05:24:48 AM 1657 Views
I agree he was much better than before darius_sedai - 05/02/2010 04:39:33 PM 1494 Views
It pains me to say it, but Gawyn would win. Jeordam - 04/02/2010 11:15:19 PM 1727 Views

Gawyn is incredibly irritating Yondaime - 05/02/2010 01:55:40 AM 1599 Views
No matter how many times people say it, this is still not true. Fanatic-Templar - 05/02/2010 10:21:45 PM 1543 Views

Perhaps the key is that Gawyn is an even more simplistic thinker than Galad. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 06:20:06 AM 1540 Views
Again, what? When? Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 08:08:47 AM 1525 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 1484 Views
Completely different subjects, and pretty insignificant, really. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 06:44:35 PM 1006 Views
the person to beat Gawyn is Mat imlad - 06/02/2010 06:36:03 AM 1754 Views
Perrin would beat Lan?! *NM* BlackAdder - 06/02/2010 05:52:47 PM 1442 Views

Add Nynaeve and Egwene to the fight, that's something worth seeing then. Lord Haart - 05/02/2010 05:20:53 AM 1658 Views
Egwene would hand Nynaeve her ass darius_sedai - 05/02/2010 04:55:51 PM 1618 Views
I agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/02/2010 05:10:34 PM 1570 Views

I just mentioned it since you said Egwene had more combat experience. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 06:21:38 AM 1544 Views
I think you are missunderstanding me darius_sedai - 07/02/2010 02:04:13 AM 1604 Views

Nynaeve might have trouble... Fanatic-Templar - 05/02/2010 10:24:56 PM 1573 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 1358 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 1269 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 1481 Views
she passed pretty easily IMO darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:12:13 PM 1592 Views
Just like Be'lal did? And Lanfear's already learned that lesson the hard way. Lord Haart - 07/02/2010 01:40:45 AM 1447 Views

Yes, but choosing the time to attack is part of how good a fighter someone is. Lord Haart - 07/02/2010 06:30:55 PM 1446 Views
The test for the Shawl has little to nothing to do with channeling, you know this right? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 05/02/2010 10:23:16 PM 925 Views
Are you being serious? *NM* Sidious - 06/02/2010 08:57:33 AM 952 Views
of course it does darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 05:48:41 PM 1563 Views
That's not how it happens in New Spring. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 07:00:52 PM 1429 Views
that's because Moiraine trained and is relatively skilled (for AS) darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 07:34:05 PM 1572 Views
That's nonsensical. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 09:02:13 PM 1578 Views
It's what RJ said ... "too much specialization" darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:14:38 PM 1444 Views
Well, if RJ said it, I guess it must be true. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 11:17:19 PM 1534 Views

Re: Can you provide that quote? Skeeve the Great - 06/02/2010 08:19:08 PM 1545 Views
Yup, plus those were complex weaves that may have required multiple flows. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 08:30:52 PM 1501 Views
there is nothing to say that multiple weaves are involved. darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:16:29 PM 1439 Views
That's the nature on the weaving. Skeeve the Great - 06/02/2010 09:24:39 PM 1507 Views

1 Blossom = 1 Weave ... there is nothing to say that each thread requires splitting flows darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 10:48:11 PM 1551 Views
Fine, I used the word weave when I should have used flow. 36 flows to create 12 weaves. *NM* Datakim - 06/02/2010 10:57:09 PM 891 Views
