Gandalf vs Vader

[Acarna]

And then a blast of light erupts from his hand to smite his foes!

...yeah, I know the drill

And then you see the uruk high in that silly face scorched,smoke puffing all around screaming: DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN and falling down.....

[Acarna]

Then it plays some cheesy music and shows a clip of Gandalf raising his staff high, saying 'We won!'

I say Gandalf wins. Now I know ultimate sorcerous blast is a pretty gay name but gandalf is an ancient powerful wizard, what does Vader have going for him? A big old chest lightbriht I'm so scared. Worst case scenario Gandalf would just unplug the crazy cyborg and push him right back in another ppit of lav, i think theres some of tat in Mordor can't be to hard to find.

im gonna go ut on a limb here and say it would be a tie. Both have equal dueling experience. And they would have identical powers if u ask me. but if were going to end an argument on the subject this is wat i would say. (not that there is a fight on this subject). im going to say that could have the sme effect on Vader as Vader would on him. they would both collapse from exhaustion, thats my storie and im sticking to it!

Ultimate... Sorcerous... Blast... That has gotta be the lamest fantasy name i've ever seen.

But really, what it boils down to, like every great debate: is gandalf a pirate? And lord vader a ninja? Or vice versa? Or both?

Despite the fact that Gandalf has a beard and vader is dressed in Black, Vader is a pirate and Gandalf a ninja.

Gandalfs plan essentially consists of sneaking everywhere and assassinating Sauron.

Vader on the other hand hijacked, the Senate, the force and even the entire franchise.

Vader by a mile. His own personal TIE fighter, star destroyers at his command, legions of imperial stormtroopers, lightsabre etc. Gandalf rides a smelly horse or a CART, has a stick a ring and an old sword. You don't know the power of the dark side Lathspiel.

On the other hand, Gandalf can talk to moths.

[CaptainSarathai]

Knowing what Gandalf did to Theoden, I am willing to believe that it would not be a fight. I can see him looking at Vader and casting out the accumulated filth of the Emperor, just as he had done with Grima. Essentially, when Luke killed Palpatine in the end of the original (to be read ONLY) trilogy of films, Darth Vader became more benign, and then promptly died.

Furthermore, this entire question boils down to the idea of the Arthurian legend. Mordred vs. Merlin. Merlin is a Gandalf character, and there's no denying that Mordred and Anakin are very similar. All things considered, Merlin couldn't do anything to stop or save Mordred from his falling. So... end of story yeah?

Finally- Vader is pretty much a hate fueled psychopath at the moment, while Gandalf smokes the best weed in the land. I'm voting for the guy who's jacked on a constant flow of 'roids.

[Visitor Q]

Vader certainly has an aura of badassness around him but when all is said and done what stuff has he actually killed?......

Gandalf killed a Balrog could Vader?

[ArchonFarseerGuy]

It all depends.

Does Vader get to use the Death Star for this duel?
