Talk:Darth Vader vs. Arturia Pendragon/Saber/@comment-25832877-20150813102124

Shawn already Said this earlier. Vader has trained his instincts to be sharper and more alert then it was when he battled his Master Obi Wan Kenobi. Also Vader, like Saber is know to be a hard core surviver, i f not more. He survived being Burned Alive in Lava Fire,  while having  all  three of his remaining limbs cut off  using his Sheer Hatred, Anger and Will Power.

And has even survived being bombarded by Galen Marek’s, or the Starkiller Clone’s Force Maelstroms and Force Lightning barrage. The fact that he is able to take that much punishment, really speaks for itself.

If he had taken a direct hit from Excalibur then yes he would and will die. But thanks to his heightened instincts and Force sensing, he was more than capable of avoiding Saber’s first Excalibur attack.

The only trouble he had was that Final Excalibur Change. It was strong enough to break thought Vader’s Force Barrier, and send him crashing into and through various buildings, and cause an impact powerful enough to have a building fall on him, not to mention heavily damage his Armour and life support system.

And because, Saber had exhausted all of her strategies and tactics, she was unable to come up with anything else to throw a Vader, who was completely enraged and pushed to the breaking point. Remember the Angrier Vader is the deadlier he becomes.

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Oh yeah that's right, plus <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;line-height:15.3333px;">Vader’s sheer determination, desire to survive not only kept him alive but it also intimidated Saber, to the point where she isn’t able to fight back.

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;line-height:15.3333px;">She felt as if he is unable to be killed. This causing her to lose confidence. And since Saber's most of strenght lies with her, determination and condifence, the moment she begins to lose them, she actually falls into dispair.

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">And when she attacked Vader with that Final Excalibur Charge, she poured in almost all of her mana'prana into that attack. When she did that all she had left was enough mana/prana to keep her from disappearing or to make a trip back to the Emiya residence.
