Shaak ftw.

since there is no option for me...I had to pick Shaak

Shaak with a walk-off, this one isn't really close.

Without the poll:

shaak ti, jedi master is currently used in 182 Republic squads including designers such as Billiv15 and LoboStele. saesee tiin, jedi master is currently used in 6 squads...

shaak ti, jedi master has a character rating of 8.4 and has been rated 119 times. saesee tiin, jedi master has a rating of 8.1 and has been rated 36 times...

I would not say that my statement is misleading. How about another character from MotF?

Darth Vader, Sith Apprentice is currently in 59 squads including designers such as Billiv15. He also currently has a character rating of 8.3 and has been rated 46 times.

Aye, and Anakin is not seen much for the same reason, extremely good at dealing with any Melee charcter, but not so good at doing anything else. A constant twin attack whenever they swing at him, but at the cost of being able to do anything to shooters.

I consider Shaak and Tiin together. I prefer Tiin as he has a built in movement breaker. He can engage shooters quite well as between that 6 spaces, and a possible 8 spaces on the move, he can move 14 spaces AND attack, or 6 spaces to chase down a shooter. Which is something that Shaak can't do as well, moving 8 spaces to hit once.


Put into perspective, that forces any shooter to stay adjcent to him as he can easily follow them if he bases them, as doing anything else gets him a free hit, before following them to hit them twice.


That is a incredably good advantage to any melee figure, something that people have not considered in GAW Kits costing. Can move 6 spaces for 4 attacks, 14 spaces for 2 attacks. Thats pretty amazing for any melee figure, to put in perspective, even the latest Ani can move 10 spaces and maintain his attacks. So using two of these figures in combination could be an effective causal combination. Though whether he's worth 58 points depends on whether the +4 +4 makes a difference in the thick of it.


But yeah, in compersion to Shaak, it depends what you want. A incredable movement breaker or surviable peice. Personally, I prefer the movement breaker, as it allows him to challange shooters and melee pieces when he finally does get there, rather then a simply alright melee figure that can get there over time, but in my opinon, is probably left behind in raw combat ability. He costs simply because he's so fluid in movement.


On that note, I would disreguard the votes, I think the arguement is very slanted in my honest opinon. People will just go "ZOMG HOT ALIEN Siin SUCKS" and vote her anyways. Reguardless whether she's actually any good. :/

The problem is, people judge minis to Shaak Ti and Kol, not taking into other strenghs.
And I wouldn't quite dismiss Ani of Nelvaan. He still has some good combos.

Ani of Nelvaan is a follower. So Padem, GOWK, and countless other Republic CEs work with him. And he has Grip, giving him a range option that is fun with the Instructor. The main issue I have with Gen Skywalker is that he pretty much has to remain mobile, with can be a bad thing once he is in the mix. Again, it depends on the squad and preference. I still like Ani of Nelvaan, he is pretty brutal in a Melee scrap.

I perfer Shaak, however I look at Annie HoN and Seasee JM as very good fig's too. It just comes down to roll and support. In a sweathearts squad Annie HoN is a great fig thanks to Padma Snowbunny's free attack. Shaak has a lot of survivablity options with stealth and block, seasee has the very powerful Djem So Mastery, that extra 10 damage is an awesome thing.

But I think Shaak has some great things going for her with Crowd Fighting, too, all of these characters are affordable and can basically access the same CE's.

So again it comes down to support and squad and the player, but again call me old fashioned but I think Shaak has the best balance of any of them

i voted for Shaak ti, even though as a piece i like Seasee better, and heres my reasoning....Shaak can be in a rebel squad. thats put her ahead of Seasee. i like options :)
