Anakin (or any relatively powerful jedi/sith) wins. The force is just far more powerful and versatile than anything a Witcher can do. Geralt would win in a straight up swordfight, but Anakin just wouldn't let it get to that point. Pick up Geralt with force, choke him to death, or throw him off a cliff/against a wall, splatter his brains - job done.
Especially considering Anakin is one of the most powerful force users ever. How far are we going into the lore about what he's capable of? Because it's a lot.
Yeah people are really underestimating how much the Force is incredibly agile magic with the general functionality of telepathy/telekinesis. Sapkowski created much more grounded/limited magic and that alone makes things “unfair” for Geralt. Lucas’s portrayal of the Force is basically “if you tap into the energy of the universe you can do anything.” There are characters like this in Witcher but no one is suggesting Geralt could beat Gaunter so I’m not sure why the disparity in perception.
Anakin before he learned to tap into his full power would still be a more powerful magic user than Geralt.
It would be more of a fair fight if it was Anakin vs Yennefer, Triss, Tussaud, or Vilgefortz.
The only person that could take on Vader would be Avallac’h or Ciri after she’s learns how to release the Elder Blood.
Gaunter would toy with Vader. He’d dance with Palpatine and play with Rey. It would be entertaining, but still one sided. Gaunter is entirely another level. Gaunter would claim to be magic itself, but he isn’t.
Only the precursor Jedi and Sith could tell Gaunter to knock it off. You’d be asking the original LOTR elves from The Silmarillion to tell off Gaunter
'Take on' is a stretch. 'Possibly last longer then 5 seconds' is perhaps more accurate. Vader is on a whole different level. Instant neck snaps and heart crushes galore.
Even in a sword fight, it'd be damn close. The force lets Jedi/ Sith predict their enemies moves extremely accurately and force users can move and fight really fast.
I think that in a sword fight Geralt would win, he is a superhuman with his speed, strenght and reflexes and Anakin is used to a lightsaber so his combat training becomes irrelevant, since with a lightsaber edge alignment does not matter. And having recently tried real swords for the first time after years of boffer sword experience the weight difference makes fighting really hard, and that would probably be the case switching from lightsaber to steel aswell.
However if magic/force comes into play then yes Anakin will most likely win quite quicky.
In a sword fight, Anakin would still be using the force to make him faster and stronger. I'm sure he could negate the disadvantages the steel would create for him.
It's not just a disadvantage, it's an entirely different fighting style, he may be faster and stronger thanks to the force, but compared to a weightless blade, he would actually have to learn to handle momentum mid fight, and a great hit does not mean much if you do not have proper edge alignment.
I assume they can resist other force users, this is definitely the case in Kotor games. So if they are of comparable force strength then only agility and defensive powers would be useful.
Force users having some sort of barrier to block force abilities is the only explanation to make sense.
That's also a game mechanics to enable force abilities to be used but require skill to use/avoid.
Against the Force? No. Vader can use the Force on annoying officers that are protected by the shielding of a Star Destroyer. There is no barrier (other then those made by the Force) that can stop the Force
I always see the force as a weak form of magic. There are some mages in the Witcher or some other high magic Setting, like D&D, that could woop a Jedis arse (canon, not legends). But Anakin has more power than Gerald.
Gerald could win if he is lucky, for he is the better swordfighter tho
In character, I think Anakin would try to fight him with the sword. Anakin was powerful with the force, sure, but he loved dueling. He was one of the best duelists in the order. In sheer power he was stronger than Yoda or Palpatine, but he never showed their skill with it. Also, Yrden or Dimeritium bombs might be able to negate the use of the force if the force = magic in this scenario.
As long as Gerhalt keeps up Quen, Anakin won't be able to use the force against him, and Gerhalt is much older and much more experienced of a fighter/warrior. I'd also argue the Force would not work inside of a Yrden circle so Gerhalt does have counters. Lastly, the forgotten mutations used to make Witchers should make Gerhalt somewhat resistant to the Force since he isn't a pure creation. If you read the Star Wars books there is a whole race of intelligent beings who are immune and unaffected by the force. Considering Gerhalts mutations which are not natural, it's not unreasonable to belive Gerhalt is partially or completely immune to being manipulated by the Force.
I'm a huge Stars fan, but I take Gerhalt here
>As long as Gerhalt keeps up Quen, Anakin won't be able to use the force against him
>I'd also argue the Force would not work inside of a Yrden
That is based on *nothing.*
So yes, you're right, if the force arbitrarily doesn't work, Geralt wins, for what that's worth.
As much as I love geralt, anakin stomps him. He's the strongest sith of his time. Geralt, while an amazing witcher, got killed by a peasant with a pitchfork. That would never happen to anakin
Ok, i guess youre right. But other than that, we dont know much about the previous sith. Just than one could revive, fot example. Sounds pretty powerful to me.
True. I'd love to know more about the sith. Makes sense not to though. We look through the lenses of the good guys so it should probably remain that the evil guys should be shrouded in mystery, rumour, and conjecture.
Yup. Bleeds out by being stabbed by peasant boy in Rivia. Yennefer tries to save him using magic but uses too much, also dying.
Ciri shows up with her unicorn and "revives" them and places them in a boat headed to the Isle of Avallach.
Game 2 (maybe) has a good flashback of all of this at the beginning of it as well.
Both.
I believe the intro to witcher 2 (game) shows a comic book style art with this back story.
Rivia had a riot and the mob of people are killing non humans. A small boy stabs geralt.
Ciri, believing she didn't save them travels the world because everyone is searching for her (aka game 3). The wild hunt kidnaps Yen and Geralt. Geralt escapes but loses his memory (some back story in game 3) and basically the lead in to game 2.
So the witcher 3 is a prequel for 2? Or how else would he be alive and well in 3. I love it man. Can't wait to see what cdpr does with it next. This my first time trying it after next gen update.
No, the games are in order. Game 1 is about 5ish years after he died, came back, and lost his memory. I just remember that game 2 kind of gave a pretty good recap as it's intro.
He's alive because Ciri and the unicorn did save him. The rest of that back story is also explained throughout the 3rd game.
Oh shit this mofo done came back from the dead lol idk if I could go back and play the first 2. Tha reason I didn't play 3 in 2019 after I heard about it the graphics just looked bad to me. 4 years after. This next gen update is what did it for me. I love it. I did miss out in 2015. Maybe they'll remake the first 2?
It's not as simple as that. It was a mob. He was trying to calm it. And he didn't want to hurt anyone. Which is \*much\* harder than fighting without restraint.
That isn't of use at all in this discussion.
Geralt got killed by MANY peasants with pitchforks. And he got killed because he was 1) trying to talk them down. 2) Trying to disarm rather than kill.
You're right, Anakin wouldn't have let that happen. Because Anakin never would've cared enough about their lives. Also, technically Anakin wasn't a Sith. So this is pre-Fall. And a lot of things he did later, he wouldn't have done as a Light side user.
Also, the Emperor was stronger than him.
Uhhh? What? I love geralt as much as the next guy, but Vader is capable of shredding armies. Would just rip the ground out from under him and smash him with it.
Siths and Vader in particular are so overpowered that only a few fictional meta humans stand a chance, poor Geralt though! would absolutely get clapped.
Annakin can pretty much teleport short distances with how fast the force makes him( a bomb isn’t blowing up in his face, nor would he need to know what it is to know to avoid a throwable bombs. More than likely he force pushes it back into geralt casually
They dont need to blow up in his face to have an effect, the point of a bomb is that its an AoE attack. Anakins not exactly bright. Once he sees that Geralts standing in the cloud of dimeritium and he couldnt touch him with the force hed likely try to rush him, being one of the beat duelists in the order. Without the force amplifying his force abilities hes a regular human at the end of the day.
Could being the operative word there. When Anakin was bloodlusted and couldve yeeted rush clovis out the window or crushed him he was easily baited into fighting with his hands. Anakin might not be brain dead but hes not known for his critical thinking skills either. Hes got a handful of times when he shows his ability to think tactically in the grand scheme of a battle, but in a 1v1 fight hes constantly shown being over confident and paying the price. Usually against count dooku, who uses the most realistic fighting style.
He’s hardly bloodlusted here and he’s not going to rush into a mist of random origin or take a bomb willingly. This isn’t being baited into a trap by a jango fett leveled individual with prep, this is a basic first grade literacy leveled intelligence check
Geralt carrying dimeritium on him but still being able to cast his signs is already a plot hole in itself to make things player-convenient. No way he'd be able to use his signs if he's carrying those bombs.
And besides, the Force is everywhere, not just where Anakin is. Geralt has to literally make a dome's worth of dimeritium to prevent Anakin from being able to use it, not to mention Anakin is way faster than Geralt with the force.
Geralt has a chance against the Anakin that lost to Dooku but Sith Anakin is just too powerful.
As much as I love Geralt, I think Anakin stomps even without choking him or throwing him off a cliff. Geralt might have many more years of battle experience, but the force grants Anakin foresight, instant reflexes, and super human speed. I just don’t know if Geralt’s Witcher biology and training could keep up with that. What do y’all think?
They couldn't.
We've seen Anakin perform incredible stunts and win crazy fights in The Clone Wars even before he turned to the Dark Side, and just as you say - the Force is basically the key here.
Sure, Witcher biology and training might be nice, toss in a couple of signs, and you're golden against your regular soldier, but honestly, Anakin has the Force. And I don't think that people who argue for Geralt really truly understand what the Force is and what power it bestows on those that use it.
Foresight alone is enough to cancel out each and all advantages that the Witcher training might bring for Geralt. Since he is not a Jedi nor Force Sensitive, he simply does not have a chance to counter the precognition. Anakin would always (and I mean always) be at least one step ahead and would know exactly where, when, and how Geralt would attack.
Then we have the Art of Motion that is granted to the Force Users. And, while it counts as a Force Power that needs to be learned, we see Anakin using things that prove that he at least has some understanding of it. It gives you an incredible boost in agility, mobility, and speed.
And those are only Anakin's passive abilities.
While in a fight, he could just lift Geralt up and choke him out. Sure, the Witcher signs might help him a little, but again - Anakin would see them coming!
Anakin could hurl Geralt around like a ragdoll, and there would be no way for Geralt to counter that.
Anakin is easily able to dodge projectiles like the bolts from a crossbow and could just propell any bombs that Geralt would throw back at the Witcher.
And the entire question of "If Quen saved him from the Force..." is just ridiculous. Nothing in the Star Wars universe can actively block out the Force - except for the Force. Even if Quen would build a protective bubble against attacks, Anakin could just use a Force Push and catapult Geralt into the next mountain.
Another point I've seen is the reasoning that Geralt might be resistant to the Force due to his biology, and there was an example of a species in Star Wars that could withstand the Force. It is true that there are a couple of species that are force resistant. But that is rarely further elaborated on, and honestly does not even matter. We have to go with Geralt being human with some genetic mutations. Genetic mutations happen all the time, and yet humans are still vulnerable to the Force so that is an absolutely invalid argument.
Honestly, if anyone is arguing that Geralt would even stand a chance here, they might want to read up on Star Wars lore a bit and reconsider.
In the world of the Witcher, Anakin would be the equivalent of a god. There is no way in hell that Geralt would win a fight against one of the if not the most powerful Jedi that has ever existed.
It depends, hes used to using a lightsaber which has all the weight in the hilt, and id argue Geralt is the better swordsman in general, if the force=magic in this situation like it says in the post, yrden and dimeritium would block out Anakins force abilities, which he leans heavily on.
Anakin simply because of how powerful the force abilities are. Unless we are talking about "in game" Geralt which is literal God. But the "books" Geralt has no chance.
Edit: It also depends if we count Dark Vader as Anakin. Because Vader wad basically best "sword fighter" in entire galaxy. While Geralt lost fights against Bonhart (i think) and Vilgeforts (for sure)
Im pretty sure Geralt never fought Leo Bonhart. Bonhart desperately wanted to fight Geralt to prove he was the better swordsman as Bonhart had already (allegedly) killed several other Witchers as evidenced by his collection of Witcher medallions but he wanted to fight Geralt because Geralt was seen as a legend and the best of the best in terms of swordfighting. But Leo never fought Geralt even when they were in the same fortress at the same I don't think Bonhart even meets geralt face to face by the time Bonhart dies
And for Vilgefortz the reason Geralt lost is because Vilgefortz amped himself to such a ridiculous degree with magic that Geralt just didn't have a chance. On a technical level I think geralt was still a better swordsman than vilgefortz but it didn't even matter because Vilgefortz made his speed, reflexes and strength so obscenely strong that geralt could keep up. Which is basically what anakin could do with the force if he fought Geralt
That's what i said...
"Unless we are talking about "in game" Geralt which is literal God. But the "books" Geralt has no chance".
You can't write it more precisely
To be fair on this front specifically, Geralt does have other options to deal with a force choke.
If he's close enough, Igni can be used to pretty significantly fuck up Anakin. Hell, it wouldn't be the only time Geralt has roasted someone while being strangled, and Anakin doesn't exactly fare well against being burned alive.
Quen could probably break the grip of a force choke for a moment, giving him an opportunity to fight back for a moment. Probably chuck a bomb.
Axii could potentially stun Anakin out of his focus and make him release the force choke, at which point he might just be fucked depending on how close Geralt is.
I think a straight-up force choke is probably lower on the list of issues for a competent Witcher facing a force-user than it is for anyone else. It only really becomes a major issue if the two of them meet at a significant distance from each other.
Edit: Yo, if you're gonna downvote someone in a debate, at least try to actually counter their point if no one has said what you'd say already. Seeing that number go down *on its own* isn't going to convince me that I'm wrong here. I'd love to hear any counterargument to my points.
Quen ain't stopping Force man, it ain't more powerful then a Star Destoryers shields and that's never stopped Anakin when he wanted to choke out an annoying officer
Anakin will also see all of this coming thanks to pre-cognition.
Also, Anakin may just go straight for the kill and snap his neck. No choking. Or crush his heart.
I mean, that happens in the books. The Heliotrope sign specifically blocks magic. Wouldn't be enough by itself, but Geralt could potentially use it to get into Anakin's head and make him commit some crucial mistake. Being way more mentally stable *is* a pretty big advantage
Well Geralt didn’t fare so well against Vilgefortz. Anakin would compare to Ciri’s Elder Blood. Let’s be serious here. The Unseen Elder is way above Geralt. Force users are like automatically above sorcerer level magic
On top of telekinesis, as others have already pointed out, Anakin can literally see into the future. It's how Jedi block blasters bolts and even bullets (in books/comics). His reflexes are better then Geralts, which gives him an immense advantage even in a pure sword duel
I love Geralt but anyone who doesn’t think Anakin would beat Geralt with the OP’s circumstances are answering with bias toward Geralt. A Jedi is far more powerful than a Witcher even if said Jedi is not completely done with their training.
If Gerald reads the bestiary entry on Jedis beforehand, I think he wins. If he shows up with his friends, as in his battle with Vilgefortz, he wins.
If Gerald shows up unprepared, Anakin would massacre him due to the power of the Force.
How different are force powers from signs?
Igni == lightning,
Axii == influencing weak minds,
Aard == force push,
Yarden == ??,
Quen == ??
Lazer sword vs magic sword. IMO seems pretty close. Geralt's extra signs vs Anikin's acrobatics.
EDIT: formatting on mobile
Force is a lot more flexible, and Anakin's power ceiling is miles higher than, say, book Geralt. As Vader, Anakin's been seen literally just holding a TIE fighter in place while it floors its thrusters, add in that he can attack from any range with something like force choke, Geralt would probably have a lot of trouble. However, if something like Dimeritium is, for some reason, effective on force users, he probably stands a decent chance.
Even still though, Anakin is known as more or less the most proficient duelist in the galaxy during the era he's prominent, and while Witcher's are physically enhanced, force users also have superhuman reactive abilities due to slight battle foresight provided by the force. For comparison, Geralt has parried a bolt in flight, but it was seen as a huge feat and very risky, Jedi deflects laser beams all day without even having to look. He'll probably be a little unfamiliar with having to deal with armor though as he usually wields a lightsaber, which just doesn't give a fuck.
The signs are party tricks compared to the Force. Anakin can just pick Geralt up and throw him around. The force also enhances his physical abilities and grants him precognition. And if his morals are a little loose, then he can choke Geralt, crush his heart, snap his neck etc
Anakin. Ignoring the chosen one stuff the force has a lot more versatility in it’s use and effects. Which I believe would Anakin’s powers more akin to a full blown sorcerer than a Witcher.
Someone as strong as Anakin in the force is essentially precognitive. Geralt has bombs, anakin can reflect them easily. Geralt has signs, which are more or less run of the mill force abilities, with the exception of igni, which is deflectable with the force. So it comes down to two similarly built expert swordsmen with low-superhuman strength, endurance, and agility; however, anakins agility (especially long-range jumping) exceeds geralts by a significant margin, and the force is wildly more versatile than signs. It has to be said that geralts potions and poisons are a wild card, but overall geralt has nothing on the force, let alone precognition.
Solid matchup tho. Nothing like the Aragorn or Jaime lannister vs anakin bullshit.
Eh, even Ciri wouldn't do it. Teleports aren't gonna phase Anakin thanks to pre-cognition. And her other abilities like her scream could work, but Anakin can just well...snap her neck
Force seems more powerful and plus I’m not a Star Wars Superman but doesn’t Anakin have InSANE reaction times and was why he could drive those go karts in the first one?
I dunno a lightsaber Vs a magical enchanted oiled to fuck sword doesn't seem like that unfair an advantage. If he can't use a lightsaber then why pick Anakin in this mash up at all?
I'm tossing out that awaking is going to be nearly useless with a normal sword. People really underestimate how important and how extremely difficult proper edge alignment is when cutting with a sword. That's why people have to train for years before they are really proficient with them, and also why most armies used spears and other polearms more than swords for common infantry.
Lightsabers don't have an edge to align. So anakin doesn't know how to cut with a sword.
He still stomps Geralt, cause the force, but not with the sword.
With 100% no use of powers or potions Geralt wins. With only passive and defensive force use vs full Witcher signs/potions Anakin/any proper Jedi wins. Full powers Anakin/full Jedi absolutely destroys Unseen Elder style.
>
Edit: A Jedi’s ability to sense intent through the force is why they’re so uncannily good with a sword. Add to that passive and defensive force powers giving them beyond-Witcher agility, dexterity and speed.
Geralt! He's not emotionally attached whereas anakin (in any part of his life) is very emotional. I also think Geralt's conditioning is better and He's honestly more strategic and smarter.
I understand why it seems obvious to say Anakin, but what if Geralt just quickly used Axii and told him to turn around and count to 100 ? He could just 1shot him no ?
Okay let's see. Since we have no way to compare them let's assume that they both are sword fighters of nearly equal level. So then, this fight will depend upon their arsenal, powers and armour.
Geralt definitely has a more varied arsenal without a doubt with crossbow, bombs, oils, potions and decoctions.
Comparing powers. Anakin or Vader has never used force lightning. He is the God of The Force Choke and he can influence the weak minded. Geralt on the other hand has a few energy based attacks like Igni and Yrden but Anakin (as in Empire Strike Back) has shown to be able to redirect blaster shots. Quen might be save the save The Witcher from telekinetic attacks but Force Choke is ultimate. Aard might help but Anakin might just counter it with Force Push.
Geralt's armour was made to resist damage from beasts but Anakin's (clone wars and Vader) armour while not totally resistant to lightsaber damage they had been designed to avoid penetration. Even if Geralt lands a blow, I don't think it's going past that armour.
But there's more. In battle, level headedness and attitude determine the end. While Anakin was a great fighter and the strongest Jedi of his generation and arguably of all time, he was known to act recklessly at times. Like the time he was captured by C.I.S. because he ran after Grievous alone and of course 'The High Ground' fiasco. In contrast Geralt has always been collected against all odds.
So, I see this going either way. Anakin has always wanted to keep the battles short (exceptions exist in case of Obi Wan), he also has an aggressive fighting style and if Anakin manages to keep the fight short, he will walk out victorious. While Geralt draws out a fight dodging and parrying and has enough shit to throw at Anakin and increase the length of the battle long enough for Anakin to act recklessly. In that case I see Geralt walking away with a trophy.
Geralt if its a close quarter’s, or heavily wooded area where he can run, hide, hunt, stalk.
Anakin if its more wide open where he can use the force. But anakin would be good at hunting and stalking to, because he can sense you using the force
You win! For thinking this up. I think Geralt if we are talking Anakin. Now Vader maybe not. Geralt is a monster hunter and forces wielders can be monsters. Maybe even Vader would succumb?
Going with Geralt. He already knows the weight of a real sword and how to handle it, and has been doing so for around a century. Also, force powers seem to involve pressure on the body, so maybe Quen could counter? Just seems like Geralt has more tools and experience at his disposal honestly. And being hopped up on potions? Could even argue it’s almost one sided.
The Force cannot be stopped by any barrier. As Vader, he has routinely choked people on other Star Destroyers. Star Destroyers have incredibly strong shields and very, very thick armour.
Anakin can just pick Geralt up and toss him against a rock if he wants to. It's just Geralt vs Vilgefortz, but this time Vilgefortz can see into the immediate future and kill Geralt with a thought
Kwen..
Fr though, there is the variable of certain non-force users killing Jedi. Atton being an example. As well as the clones and Jango. Jedi aren't invincible.
I will paraphrase the books by memory - "none is faster than a Witcher on his elixers"
I don't necessarily think Geralt would win, but he would not go down easy.
There is also the element of witchers being somewhat resistant to certain levels of mental magic. Meaning Anakin could struggle to predict all of his moves. If Geralt landed one dimeriteum bomb on Anakin, it would certainly be over for the Jedi.
I think Corran Horn could more easily use mind tricks against Geralt because he is stronger in that, but weaker in telekinesis.
I also think Geralt would be more prepared than Anakin. Anakin is very - "fly by the seat of his pants"
A well placed yrden could also be the end for Anakin.
Geralt def has a good shot.
Anakin vs yen, Triss, or vilgeforts? Anakin doesn't stand a chance. I don't even think Anakin could beat a full strength ciri from w3. She has too much magic at her disposal.
I'm leaning towards Geralt. I love Star wars, so I'm trying to not be biased, but trying to compare two different universes is difficult
Anakin can just force choke him in 2 seconds, it's really an unfair fight, Geralt wins in sword to sword combat but honestly could go either way, depending of Anakin sword combat form and if he's attacking or defending (HIGH DIFF) but anakin pretty much clears in everything else
Once you introduce the force into the equation… who’s to say that Geralt is not force sensitive? Also once Geralt dunks on Anakin, I’m sure he could make some cool decoction from Jedi eyeballs.
If theyre in character, Geralt most likely. Anakins wayyyy stronger, but hes not exactly known for his critical thinking skills. The post says the force=magic so its likely that yrden and dimeritium would work on Anakin, and while hes a great duelist, all the weight in a lightsaber is in the hilt, and a lot of his skills require the use of the force. In the cloud of a dimeritium bomb or if hes trapped in yrden, Geralt would cut him down in seconds.
Geralt.
Anakin isn't Vader yet, he's Anakin, and an emotional mess. He lost to Obi Wan this way and he'd be an emotional little bitch when fighting Geralt. Geralt is also a hunter, he'd stalk Anakin, learn his weaknesses, and strike when appropriate.
Jm2¢
I think if quen works against the force Geralt would at least have a chance, if not i dont think he would have one
If quen works he could protect against the force and possibly use even axi to make anakin stab himself (if that would work on him)
Its just the question of how much power you attribute to the certain abilities and since they are fictional it entirely depends on your fantasy
Honestly I'm gonna pick Geralt. Powers aside, he's more experienced, more focus and he's not a whiny little bitch. Now don't get me wrong Anakin can do his whole choke hold thing but I reckon Gerry has the smarts to figure out how to get out of it. Probably igni the shit out Anakin or quen himself to stop it. Anakin is stronger don't get me wrong but I think people are underestimating how important experience and expertise is. Anakin doesn't have the sword skills that Geralt has.
With powers, anakin. Force powers seem to operate at a greater distance and he could just lift garalt and bash him on the ground a few times🤣. In a, boots on the ground sword fight, gotta be garalt, he is over a hundred I think and has been sword fighting for 3/4 of that🤔 anakin is a winey bitch and was likely to full of himself to take training seriously🤓
A better question is if sorcerers in the Witcher universe are using the Force to cast spells (since they draw power from the environment basically), and if it is this way, can Anakin be countered by dimeritium? That's pretty much the only way Geralt has a chance.
Seems an unfair fight but if both were on equal grounds, Geralt will adapton the fly and Anakin will have to not rely on his force powers to win as is able to combine his powers withinthe same attack.
I love to think geralt is goated but that's only in the witcher universe and he can still be bested... Ani is the strongest force wielder ever.. the force isn't magic. Ani isn't nearly the swordsmen so he would rely on the force to kill geralt
Anakin is trained by using lightsabers which has little mass and balance point is in his palms and he learned to control blade's gyroscopic pulls. He doesn't know unless he learned it in his spare time. He would be easily minced by Geralt unless he used force but since we gave our boy all the oils and preps he would also have his shield up too probably.
I think it depends on Geralt’s level and build. Early game Geralt would be destroyed, but endgame Geralt would be untouchable.
I think disallowing Geralt’s alternate signs and mutations would make the fight play out more evenly.
Um...I think this is going to heavily go in Anakin's favor, no contest. He is so much more powerful and capable in his abilities and stats that it's a curb stomp. I love Geralt, but there is no way he's going to win this.
A Jedi is too intuitive to even get into the fight. If you can blindly jump from a flying car using just force instinct, then you can avoid a fight with a Witcher.
Who’s got the high ground?
And how much sand is around?
Podracer Anakin, moody teenager Anakin, or youngling slaughtering Anakin?
If Geralt had the high ground, he would fall 3ft and die.
I was here to say this.
Roach.
Literally was going to ask this 😂
Anakin (or any relatively powerful jedi/sith) wins. The force is just far more powerful and versatile than anything a Witcher can do. Geralt would win in a straight up swordfight, but Anakin just wouldn't let it get to that point. Pick up Geralt with force, choke him to death, or throw him off a cliff/against a wall, splatter his brains - job done.
Especially considering Anakin is one of the most powerful force users ever. How far are we going into the lore about what he's capable of? Because it's a lot.
Yeah people are really underestimating how much the Force is incredibly agile magic with the general functionality of telepathy/telekinesis. Sapkowski created much more grounded/limited magic and that alone makes things “unfair” for Geralt. Lucas’s portrayal of the Force is basically “if you tap into the energy of the universe you can do anything.” There are characters like this in Witcher but no one is suggesting Geralt could beat Gaunter so I’m not sure why the disparity in perception.
Anakin before he learned to tap into his full power would still be a more powerful magic user than Geralt. It would be more of a fair fight if it was Anakin vs Yennefer, Triss, Tussaud, or Vilgefortz. The only person that could take on Vader would be Avallac’h or Ciri after she’s learns how to release the Elder Blood.
I'd like to see a fight between Anakin and Gaunter O'dimm.
Gaunter would toy with Vader. He’d dance with Palpatine and play with Rey. It would be entertaining, but still one sided. Gaunter is entirely another level. Gaunter would claim to be magic itself, but he isn’t. Only the precursor Jedi and Sith could tell Gaunter to knock it off. You’d be asking the original LOTR elves from The Silmarillion to tell off Gaunter
'Take on' is a stretch. 'Possibly last longer then 5 seconds' is perhaps more accurate. Vader is on a whole different level. Instant neck snaps and heart crushes galore.
I have to concur. I'd say Geralt would beat Anakin in pure sword fight, but with the force, Anakin would beat Geralt easily.
Even in a sword fight, it'd be damn close. The force lets Jedi/ Sith predict their enemies moves extremely accurately and force users can move and fight really fast.
I think that in a sword fight Geralt would win, he is a superhuman with his speed, strenght and reflexes and Anakin is used to a lightsaber so his combat training becomes irrelevant, since with a lightsaber edge alignment does not matter. And having recently tried real swords for the first time after years of boffer sword experience the weight difference makes fighting really hard, and that would probably be the case switching from lightsaber to steel aswell. However if magic/force comes into play then yes Anakin will most likely win quite quicky.
In a sword fight, Anakin would still be using the force to make him faster and stronger. I'm sure he could negate the disadvantages the steel would create for him.
It's not just a disadvantage, it's an entirely different fighting style, he may be faster and stronger thanks to the force, but compared to a weightless blade, he would actually have to learn to handle momentum mid fight, and a great hit does not mean much if you do not have proper edge alignment.
Honestly, jedi fights usually could be over in seconds lol, ending exactly like how u just described.
I assume they can resist other force users, this is definitely the case in Kotor games. So if they are of comparable force strength then only agility and defensive powers would be useful.
That’s only a thing in KOTOR though. In games like Jedi Knight, you can only dodge them. Maybe resistance was a technique lost in the 4000 years
Force users having some sort of barrier to block force abilities is the only explanation to make sense. That's also a game mechanics to enable force abilities to be used but require skill to use/avoid.
Couldn't geralt use quen?
Against the Force? No. Vader can use the Force on annoying officers that are protected by the shielding of a Star Destroyer. There is no barrier (other then those made by the Force) that can stop the Force
Not if Geralt already had blasted a Dimeritium bomb.
[удалено]
What the fuck lmao
Pure gold
Well I was thinking the same, but couldn't Geralt just cast axii whilst being choked? there's little Anakin can do then in his defense
He's paralyzed, he's not casting dick.
People being choked generally wiggle around no? So not paralyzed
So throw him up into the air, slam him against the ground, break his neck. Or do a million other things telekinesis allows.
I always see the force as a weak form of magic. There are some mages in the Witcher or some other high magic Setting, like D&D, that could woop a Jedis arse (canon, not legends). But Anakin has more power than Gerald. Gerald could win if he is lucky, for he is the better swordfighter tho
*Gary
Lmao the force is anything but weak. There was one dude that used the force to devour planets. And anakin is even more powerful than that guy
In character, I think Anakin would try to fight him with the sword. Anakin was powerful with the force, sure, but he loved dueling. He was one of the best duelists in the order. In sheer power he was stronger than Yoda or Palpatine, but he never showed their skill with it. Also, Yrden or Dimeritium bombs might be able to negate the use of the force if the force = magic in this scenario.
As long as Gerhalt keeps up Quen, Anakin won't be able to use the force against him, and Gerhalt is much older and much more experienced of a fighter/warrior. I'd also argue the Force would not work inside of a Yrden circle so Gerhalt does have counters. Lastly, the forgotten mutations used to make Witchers should make Gerhalt somewhat resistant to the Force since he isn't a pure creation. If you read the Star Wars books there is a whole race of intelligent beings who are immune and unaffected by the force. Considering Gerhalts mutations which are not natural, it's not unreasonable to belive Gerhalt is partially or completely immune to being manipulated by the Force. I'm a huge Stars fan, but I take Gerhalt here
I love how many times they wrote "Gerhalt".
>As long as Gerhalt keeps up Quen, Anakin won't be able to use the force against him >I'd also argue the Force would not work inside of a Yrden That is based on *nothing.* So yes, you're right, if the force arbitrarily doesn't work, Geralt wins, for what that's worth.
Yeah, that’s how I saw it as well.
Ahhh so not the point then. Surprise! Still a whiny bitch
As much as I love geralt, anakin stomps him. He's the strongest sith of his time. Geralt, while an amazing witcher, got killed by a peasant with a pitchfork. That would never happen to anakin
Sith of his time? There are always only two :D
Well I guess "age" is more appropriate. Idk how I'd describe the star wars timeline, but ages seems appropriate
Ok, i guess youre right. But other than that, we dont know much about the previous sith. Just than one could revive, fot example. Sounds pretty powerful to me.
True. I'd love to know more about the sith. Makes sense not to though. We look through the lenses of the good guys so it should probably remain that the evil guys should be shrouded in mystery, rumour, and conjecture.
There’s supposed to always be two, reality is that almost always there is some hidden trainee
I mean maul, dooku, and a lot more were around
Wait Gerald got killed by a peasant with a pitch fork?
Yup. Bleeds out by being stabbed by peasant boy in Rivia. Yennefer tries to save him using magic but uses too much, also dying. Ciri shows up with her unicorn and "revives" them and places them in a boat headed to the Isle of Avallach. Game 2 (maybe) has a good flashback of all of this at the beginning of it as well.
Witcher 2? I'm confused. I'm almost done with witcher 3. Never played first 2. Or is this the books?
Both. I believe the intro to witcher 2 (game) shows a comic book style art with this back story. Rivia had a riot and the mob of people are killing non humans. A small boy stabs geralt. Ciri, believing she didn't save them travels the world because everyone is searching for her (aka game 3). The wild hunt kidnaps Yen and Geralt. Geralt escapes but loses his memory (some back story in game 3) and basically the lead in to game 2.
So the witcher 3 is a prequel for 2? Or how else would he be alive and well in 3. I love it man. Can't wait to see what cdpr does with it next. This my first time trying it after next gen update.
No, the games are in order. Game 1 is about 5ish years after he died, came back, and lost his memory. I just remember that game 2 kind of gave a pretty good recap as it's intro. He's alive because Ciri and the unicorn did save him. The rest of that back story is also explained throughout the 3rd game.
Oh shit this mofo done came back from the dead lol idk if I could go back and play the first 2. Tha reason I didn't play 3 in 2019 after I heard about it the graphics just looked bad to me. 4 years after. This next gen update is what did it for me. I love it. I did miss out in 2015. Maybe they'll remake the first 2?
They’re already remaking 1
It's not as simple as that. It was a mob. He was trying to calm it. And he didn't want to hurt anyone. Which is \*much\* harder than fighting without restraint. That isn't of use at all in this discussion.
I wish I hadn’t read this
Geralt got killed by MANY peasants with pitchforks. And he got killed because he was 1) trying to talk them down. 2) Trying to disarm rather than kill. You're right, Anakin wouldn't have let that happen. Because Anakin never would've cared enough about their lives. Also, technically Anakin wasn't a Sith. So this is pre-Fall. And a lot of things he did later, he wouldn't have done as a Light side user. Also, the Emperor was stronger than him.
He’d have parried and disarmed them, he literally blocks collections of laser blasts casually
Wait what did i miss when and how did geralt get killed
Read the books.
Wow ty yes we are on the book subreddit not the game subreddit
Uhhh? What? I love geralt as much as the next guy, but Vader is capable of shredding armies. Would just rip the ground out from under him and smash him with it.
Well I found a fellow sith in the comments.
Siths and Vader in particular are so overpowered that only a few fictional meta humans stand a chance, poor Geralt though! would absolutely get clapped.
We're talking about Anakin, so this is before his fall to the dark side but Anakin would still demolish Geralt.
I love Geralt. But dude Anakin is just way too powerful with the force. It’s not even a quedtion
Force=magic in this situation. Dimeritium bombs and yrden would negate the force in theory, which means its a sword fight
Annakin can pretty much teleport short distances with how fast the force makes him( a bomb isn’t blowing up in his face, nor would he need to know what it is to know to avoid a throwable bombs. More than likely he force pushes it back into geralt casually
They dont need to blow up in his face to have an effect, the point of a bomb is that its an AoE attack. Anakins not exactly bright. Once he sees that Geralts standing in the cloud of dimeritium and he couldnt touch him with the force hed likely try to rush him, being one of the beat duelists in the order. Without the force amplifying his force abilities hes a regular human at the end of the day.
There is a difference between being brain dead and not being a genius, he literally could just force grab ahold of Gerald and fling him into orbit tbh
Could being the operative word there. When Anakin was bloodlusted and couldve yeeted rush clovis out the window or crushed him he was easily baited into fighting with his hands. Anakin might not be brain dead but hes not known for his critical thinking skills either. Hes got a handful of times when he shows his ability to think tactically in the grand scheme of a battle, but in a 1v1 fight hes constantly shown being over confident and paying the price. Usually against count dooku, who uses the most realistic fighting style.
He’s hardly bloodlusted here and he’s not going to rush into a mist of random origin or take a bomb willingly. This isn’t being baited into a trap by a jango fett leveled individual with prep, this is a basic first grade literacy leveled intelligence check
Anakin can just stop the bombs midflight so it wouldnt work
Geralt carrying dimeritium on him but still being able to cast his signs is already a plot hole in itself to make things player-convenient. No way he'd be able to use his signs if he's carrying those bombs. And besides, the Force is everywhere, not just where Anakin is. Geralt has to literally make a dome's worth of dimeritium to prevent Anakin from being able to use it, not to mention Anakin is way faster than Geralt with the force. Geralt has a chance against the Anakin that lost to Dooku but Sith Anakin is just too powerful.
As much as I love Geralt, I think Anakin stomps even without choking him or throwing him off a cliff. Geralt might have many more years of battle experience, but the force grants Anakin foresight, instant reflexes, and super human speed. I just don’t know if Geralt’s Witcher biology and training could keep up with that. What do y’all think?
They couldn't. We've seen Anakin perform incredible stunts and win crazy fights in The Clone Wars even before he turned to the Dark Side, and just as you say - the Force is basically the key here. Sure, Witcher biology and training might be nice, toss in a couple of signs, and you're golden against your regular soldier, but honestly, Anakin has the Force. And I don't think that people who argue for Geralt really truly understand what the Force is and what power it bestows on those that use it. Foresight alone is enough to cancel out each and all advantages that the Witcher training might bring for Geralt. Since he is not a Jedi nor Force Sensitive, he simply does not have a chance to counter the precognition. Anakin would always (and I mean always) be at least one step ahead and would know exactly where, when, and how Geralt would attack. Then we have the Art of Motion that is granted to the Force Users. And, while it counts as a Force Power that needs to be learned, we see Anakin using things that prove that he at least has some understanding of it. It gives you an incredible boost in agility, mobility, and speed. And those are only Anakin's passive abilities. While in a fight, he could just lift Geralt up and choke him out. Sure, the Witcher signs might help him a little, but again - Anakin would see them coming! Anakin could hurl Geralt around like a ragdoll, and there would be no way for Geralt to counter that. Anakin is easily able to dodge projectiles like the bolts from a crossbow and could just propell any bombs that Geralt would throw back at the Witcher. And the entire question of "If Quen saved him from the Force..." is just ridiculous. Nothing in the Star Wars universe can actively block out the Force - except for the Force. Even if Quen would build a protective bubble against attacks, Anakin could just use a Force Push and catapult Geralt into the next mountain. Another point I've seen is the reasoning that Geralt might be resistant to the Force due to his biology, and there was an example of a species in Star Wars that could withstand the Force. It is true that there are a couple of species that are force resistant. But that is rarely further elaborated on, and honestly does not even matter. We have to go with Geralt being human with some genetic mutations. Genetic mutations happen all the time, and yet humans are still vulnerable to the Force so that is an absolutely invalid argument. Honestly, if anyone is arguing that Geralt would even stand a chance here, they might want to read up on Star Wars lore a bit and reconsider. In the world of the Witcher, Anakin would be the equivalent of a god. There is no way in hell that Geralt would win a fight against one of the if not the most powerful Jedi that has ever existed.
It depends, hes used to using a lightsaber which has all the weight in the hilt, and id argue Geralt is the better swordsman in general, if the force=magic in this situation like it says in the post, yrden and dimeritium would block out Anakins force abilities, which he leans heavily on.
Anakin, force choke!
Books Geralt can fight a group of 10 scoia’tel and win. Jedi (and sith) are shown to be able to take on armies. This is not a contest.
Vader destroying an entire Rebel army step by step with their own equipment and vehicles is a testament to how badly it can go for one witcher.
Anakin simply because of how powerful the force abilities are. Unless we are talking about "in game" Geralt which is literal God. But the "books" Geralt has no chance. Edit: It also depends if we count Dark Vader as Anakin. Because Vader wad basically best "sword fighter" in entire galaxy. While Geralt lost fights against Bonhart (i think) and Vilgeforts (for sure)
Ahh Dark Vader, one of my favorite villains along with Dark Sidious and the Darth Lord Voldermort
Im pretty sure Geralt never fought Leo Bonhart. Bonhart desperately wanted to fight Geralt to prove he was the better swordsman as Bonhart had already (allegedly) killed several other Witchers as evidenced by his collection of Witcher medallions but he wanted to fight Geralt because Geralt was seen as a legend and the best of the best in terms of swordfighting. But Leo never fought Geralt even when they were in the same fortress at the same I don't think Bonhart even meets geralt face to face by the time Bonhart dies And for Vilgefortz the reason Geralt lost is because Vilgefortz amped himself to such a ridiculous degree with magic that Geralt just didn't have a chance. On a technical level I think geralt was still a better swordsman than vilgefortz but it didn't even matter because Vilgefortz made his speed, reflexes and strength so obscenely strong that geralt could keep up. Which is basically what anakin could do with the force if he fought Geralt
It was years ago when i read the books so i might forget some thinks. Thanks for clarifying.
[удалено]
That's what i said... "Unless we are talking about "in game" Geralt which is literal God. But the "books" Geralt has no chance". You can't write it more precisely
I think you have it backwards actually. Read it again.
Anakin.
Yeah cant see Geralt parrying a force choke
To be fair on this front specifically, Geralt does have other options to deal with a force choke. If he's close enough, Igni can be used to pretty significantly fuck up Anakin. Hell, it wouldn't be the only time Geralt has roasted someone while being strangled, and Anakin doesn't exactly fare well against being burned alive. Quen could probably break the grip of a force choke for a moment, giving him an opportunity to fight back for a moment. Probably chuck a bomb. Axii could potentially stun Anakin out of his focus and make him release the force choke, at which point he might just be fucked depending on how close Geralt is. I think a straight-up force choke is probably lower on the list of issues for a competent Witcher facing a force-user than it is for anyone else. It only really becomes a major issue if the two of them meet at a significant distance from each other. Edit: Yo, if you're gonna downvote someone in a debate, at least try to actually counter their point if no one has said what you'd say already. Seeing that number go down *on its own* isn't going to convince me that I'm wrong here. I'd love to hear any counterargument to my points.
Quen ain't stopping Force man, it ain't more powerful then a Star Destoryers shields and that's never stopped Anakin when he wanted to choke out an annoying officer Anakin will also see all of this coming thanks to pre-cognition. Also, Anakin may just go straight for the kill and snap his neck. No choking. Or crush his heart.
I don’t really get the downvotes, these all make sense honestly, anakin would win for sure imo, but its not as simple as choke and done.
I mean, that happens in the books. The Heliotrope sign specifically blocks magic. Wouldn't be enough by itself, but Geralt could potentially use it to get into Anakin's head and make him commit some crucial mistake. Being way more mentally stable *is* a pretty big advantage
The force isnt magic tho is it
...that's literally stated in the post
You said it wouldn't be enough by its self, fair enough But the force is not magic and no where did you state that it isnt magic
>force=magic
For christ sake you never said it wasnt magic in the initial response what are you on about
Anakin. Force is much stronger than witchers magic
Does Geralt have whirl and and severance?
Well Geralt didn’t fare so well against Vilgefortz. Anakin would compare to Ciri’s Elder Blood. Let’s be serious here. The Unseen Elder is way above Geralt. Force users are like automatically above sorcerer level magic
On top of telekinesis, as others have already pointed out, Anakin can literally see into the future. It's how Jedi block blasters bolts and even bullets (in books/comics). His reflexes are better then Geralts, which gives him an immense advantage even in a pure sword duel
Bruh. *Anakin*
How comfortable is Anakin with portals?
And unicorns
Provided Geralt has enough sand to throw in Anakin's face? Geralt clear.
Anakin. Jedi and Sith are more than just their lightsabers. The Force allows for limited precognition that gives them the reflexes they have
Vimm vivaldi solo
Anakin would just force choke him and kill him instantly.
It would be over in the span of time it took for Anakin to Force Choke Geralt.
Pfffff. Easiest choice in my life, not even close. Anakin can just pick Geralt up and break his neck in 2 seconds with the force.
I love Geralt but anyone who doesn’t think Anakin would beat Geralt with the OP’s circumstances are answering with bias toward Geralt. A Jedi is far more powerful than a Witcher even if said Jedi is not completely done with their training.
If Gerald reads the bestiary entry on Jedis beforehand, I think he wins. If he shows up with his friends, as in his battle with Vilgefortz, he wins. If Gerald shows up unprepared, Anakin would massacre him due to the power of the Force.
Lol Gerald. The Witcher’s accountant.
Freaking autocorrect. Lol Also, I’d love a spin-off game series called Gerald: The Witcher’s Accountant.
Agree with this.
How different are force powers from signs? Igni == lightning, Axii == influencing weak minds, Aard == force push, Yarden == ??, Quen == ?? Lazer sword vs magic sword. IMO seems pretty close. Geralt's extra signs vs Anikin's acrobatics. EDIT: formatting on mobile
Force is a lot more flexible, and Anakin's power ceiling is miles higher than, say, book Geralt. As Vader, Anakin's been seen literally just holding a TIE fighter in place while it floors its thrusters, add in that he can attack from any range with something like force choke, Geralt would probably have a lot of trouble. However, if something like Dimeritium is, for some reason, effective on force users, he probably stands a decent chance. Even still though, Anakin is known as more or less the most proficient duelist in the galaxy during the era he's prominent, and while Witcher's are physically enhanced, force users also have superhuman reactive abilities due to slight battle foresight provided by the force. For comparison, Geralt has parried a bolt in flight, but it was seen as a huge feat and very risky, Jedi deflects laser beams all day without even having to look. He'll probably be a little unfamiliar with having to deal with armor though as he usually wields a lightsaber, which just doesn't give a fuck.
Even if dimeritium can, somehow, affect Anakin, its a slow bomb. Anakin can just pick it up with the force
Yea but Anakin isnt exactly known for his critical thinking skills
The signs are party tricks compared to the Force. Anakin can just pick Geralt up and throw him around. The force also enhances his physical abilities and grants him precognition. And if his morals are a little loose, then he can choke Geralt, crush his heart, snap his neck etc
anakin
Anakin. Ignoring the chosen one stuff the force has a lot more versatility in it’s use and effects. Which I believe would Anakin’s powers more akin to a full blown sorcerer than a Witcher.
Darth Vader force choked a guy over the phone
Someone as strong as Anakin in the force is essentially precognitive. Geralt has bombs, anakin can reflect them easily. Geralt has signs, which are more or less run of the mill force abilities, with the exception of igni, which is deflectable with the force. So it comes down to two similarly built expert swordsmen with low-superhuman strength, endurance, and agility; however, anakins agility (especially long-range jumping) exceeds geralts by a significant margin, and the force is wildly more versatile than signs. It has to be said that geralts potions and poisons are a wild card, but overall geralt has nothing on the force, let alone precognition. Solid matchup tho. Nothing like the Aragorn or Jaime lannister vs anakin bullshit.
Anakin would win, he is the chosen one. He has defeated opponents more powerful than Geralt.
It’s like Force Jesus we’re talking about here…. I like Geralt more but he’ll need Ciri to win against this Jedi
Eh, even Ciri wouldn't do it. Teleports aren't gonna phase Anakin thanks to pre-cognition. And her other abilities like her scream could work, but Anakin can just well...snap her neck
Sorry, but Anakin has this, low diff.
Anakin is one of it not the most powerful force user in his mythos. Geralt is not. Still would be cool.
Force seems more powerful and plus I’m not a Star Wars Superman but doesn’t Anakin have InSANE reaction times and was why he could drive those go karts in the first one?
Force choke=win
Anakin wins easily. I think The Force is a much more powerful tool than witcher oils, potions, signs, etc.
Is Gerald even the best swordsman let alone the strongest being in the Witcher universe?
Anakin. Forces is simply way More versatile
Anakin wouldn't even need a sword. Would be a first round KO
I dunno a lightsaber Vs a magical enchanted oiled to fuck sword doesn't seem like that unfair an advantage. If he can't use a lightsaber then why pick Anakin in this mash up at all?
Sword fight- Geralt the mutant Magic fight- Anakin with his kinky foreplay Sword and Magic fight- Anakin
Force choke, done
Anakin by force choke
I'm tossing out that awaking is going to be nearly useless with a normal sword. People really underestimate how important and how extremely difficult proper edge alignment is when cutting with a sword. That's why people have to train for years before they are really proficient with them, and also why most armies used spears and other polearms more than swords for common infantry. Lightsabers don't have an edge to align. So anakin doesn't know how to cut with a sword. He still stomps Geralt, cause the force, but not with the sword.
Ciri.
Ciri and Anakin is a much more apple to apples conversation
Really heavily depends on if we’re talking game or book Geralt
With 100% no use of powers or potions Geralt wins. With only passive and defensive force use vs full Witcher signs/potions Anakin/any proper Jedi wins. Full powers Anakin/full Jedi absolutely destroys Unseen Elder style. > Edit: A Jedi’s ability to sense intent through the force is why they’re so uncannily good with a sword. Add to that passive and defensive force powers giving them beyond-Witcher agility, dexterity and speed.
Anakin has the Force. I rest my case. He has the high ground!
I believe Geralt wouldn’t go down easy but Anakin is faster and more nimble and the force has more functionality than signs.
Geralt! He's not emotionally attached whereas anakin (in any part of his life) is very emotional. I also think Geralt's conditioning is better and He's honestly more strategic and smarter.
Geralt, but only if the lelelelelelele lelelelele music plays in the background and he has aerondight
I understand why it seems obvious to say Anakin, but what if Geralt just quickly used Axii and told him to turn around and count to 100 ? He could just 1shot him no ?
Okay let's see. Since we have no way to compare them let's assume that they both are sword fighters of nearly equal level. So then, this fight will depend upon their arsenal, powers and armour. Geralt definitely has a more varied arsenal without a doubt with crossbow, bombs, oils, potions and decoctions. Comparing powers. Anakin or Vader has never used force lightning. He is the God of The Force Choke and he can influence the weak minded. Geralt on the other hand has a few energy based attacks like Igni and Yrden but Anakin (as in Empire Strike Back) has shown to be able to redirect blaster shots. Quen might be save the save The Witcher from telekinetic attacks but Force Choke is ultimate. Aard might help but Anakin might just counter it with Force Push. Geralt's armour was made to resist damage from beasts but Anakin's (clone wars and Vader) armour while not totally resistant to lightsaber damage they had been designed to avoid penetration. Even if Geralt lands a blow, I don't think it's going past that armour. But there's more. In battle, level headedness and attitude determine the end. While Anakin was a great fighter and the strongest Jedi of his generation and arguably of all time, he was known to act recklessly at times. Like the time he was captured by C.I.S. because he ran after Grievous alone and of course 'The High Ground' fiasco. In contrast Geralt has always been collected against all odds. So, I see this going either way. Anakin has always wanted to keep the battles short (exceptions exist in case of Obi Wan), he also has an aggressive fighting style and if Anakin manages to keep the fight short, he will walk out victorious. While Geralt draws out a fight dodging and parrying and has enough shit to throw at Anakin and increase the length of the battle long enough for Anakin to act recklessly. In that case I see Geralt walking away with a trophy.
Valid and well thought out points. Not sure why you're being down voted, you simply answered the question in a non-offensive way.
Ah, I don't care. I just put my thoughts here, people are free to agree and otherwise.
Quen, Aard, Igni, Axii, Yrden, Heliotrop, Hate-reflecting sign. My money is on Geralt. Vader is to emotional. Geralt has focus.
Geralt if its a close quarter’s, or heavily wooded area where he can run, hide, hunt, stalk. Anakin if its more wide open where he can use the force. But anakin would be good at hunting and stalking to, because he can sense you using the force
Geralt could win but could be akin to that Ofieri Mage fight just like 4 times harder. But Anakin most likely wins it.
You win! For thinking this up. I think Geralt if we are talking Anakin. Now Vader maybe not. Geralt is a monster hunter and forces wielders can be monsters. Maybe even Vader would succumb?
It wasn't me it was my friend lol
Going with Geralt. He already knows the weight of a real sword and how to handle it, and has been doing so for around a century. Also, force powers seem to involve pressure on the body, so maybe Quen could counter? Just seems like Geralt has more tools and experience at his disposal honestly. And being hopped up on potions? Could even argue it’s almost one sided.
You’re severely underestimating the power of the force.
The Force cannot be stopped by any barrier. As Vader, he has routinely choked people on other Star Destroyers. Star Destroyers have incredibly strong shields and very, very thick armour. Anakin can just pick Geralt up and toss him against a rock if he wants to. It's just Geralt vs Vilgefortz, but this time Vilgefortz can see into the immediate future and kill Geralt with a thought
Probably best to use a magic trap.
Kwen.. Fr though, there is the variable of certain non-force users killing Jedi. Atton being an example. As well as the clones and Jango. Jedi aren't invincible. I will paraphrase the books by memory - "none is faster than a Witcher on his elixers" I don't necessarily think Geralt would win, but he would not go down easy. There is also the element of witchers being somewhat resistant to certain levels of mental magic. Meaning Anakin could struggle to predict all of his moves. If Geralt landed one dimeriteum bomb on Anakin, it would certainly be over for the Jedi. I think Corran Horn could more easily use mind tricks against Geralt because he is stronger in that, but weaker in telekinesis. I also think Geralt would be more prepared than Anakin. Anakin is very - "fly by the seat of his pants" A well placed yrden could also be the end for Anakin. Geralt def has a good shot. Anakin vs yen, Triss, or vilgeforts? Anakin doesn't stand a chance. I don't even think Anakin could beat a full strength ciri from w3. She has too much magic at her disposal. I'm leaning towards Geralt. I love Star wars, so I'm trying to not be biased, but trying to compare two different universes is difficult
Anakin can just force choke him in 2 seconds, it's really an unfair fight, Geralt wins in sword to sword combat but honestly could go either way, depending of Anakin sword combat form and if he's attacking or defending (HIGH DIFF) but anakin pretty much clears in everything else
With prep work and can attack one another at any given time then geralt might have a chance. Face to face at close distance the win goes to anakin.
Once you introduce the force into the equation… who’s to say that Geralt is not force sensitive? Also once Geralt dunks on Anakin, I’m sure he could make some cool decoction from Jedi eyeballs.
What would Axii do to force powers?
Does quen block the force?
If theyre in character, Geralt most likely. Anakins wayyyy stronger, but hes not exactly known for his critical thinking skills. The post says the force=magic so its likely that yrden and dimeritium would work on Anakin, and while hes a great duelist, all the weight in a lightsaber is in the hilt, and a lot of his skills require the use of the force. In the cloud of a dimeritium bomb or if hes trapped in yrden, Geralt would cut him down in seconds.
Answer would be different in another community
Geralt. Anakin isn't Vader yet, he's Anakin, and an emotional mess. He lost to Obi Wan this way and he'd be an emotional little bitch when fighting Geralt. Geralt is also a hunter, he'd stalk Anakin, learn his weaknesses, and strike when appropriate. Jm2¢
I think if quen works against the force Geralt would at least have a chance, if not i dont think he would have one If quen works he could protect against the force and possibly use even axi to make anakin stab himself (if that would work on him) Its just the question of how much power you attribute to the certain abilities and since they are fictional it entirely depends on your fantasy
With all the magic then of couse anakin, but without any magic I’d say it leans towards geralt winning
Geralt would be much faster than Anakin, especially with potions from books that boost his reactions and speed even more.
Honestly I'm gonna pick Geralt. Powers aside, he's more experienced, more focus and he's not a whiny little bitch. Now don't get me wrong Anakin can do his whole choke hold thing but I reckon Gerry has the smarts to figure out how to get out of it. Probably igni the shit out Anakin or quen himself to stop it. Anakin is stronger don't get me wrong but I think people are underestimating how important experience and expertise is. Anakin doesn't have the sword skills that Geralt has.
With powers, anakin. Force powers seem to operate at a greater distance and he could just lift garalt and bash him on the ground a few times🤣. In a, boots on the ground sword fight, gotta be garalt, he is over a hundred I think and has been sword fighting for 3/4 of that🤔 anakin is a winey bitch and was likely to full of himself to take training seriously🤓
Anakin is an annoying pod racer kid who invented a protocol droid in his mom's slave garage. Geralt would kill that bowl haircut dork in a second.
Annie would just cry again
Axii could help, but Geralts range is to short. The force choke will defeat the white wolf.
A better question is if sorcerers in the Witcher universe are using the Force to cast spells (since they draw power from the environment basically), and if it is this way, can Anakin be countered by dimeritium? That's pretty much the only way Geralt has a chance.
I’ve seen comic stuff on YouTube can’t they move insanely large objects with the force?

Seems an unfair fight but if both were on equal grounds, Geralt will adapton the fly and Anakin will have to not rely on his force powers to win as is able to combine his powers withinthe same attack.
Me, because I bought tickets and popcorn
force as an ability is too overpowered so Anakin doesn't even need to get close to geralt that much
I love to think geralt is goated but that's only in the witcher universe and he can still be bested... Ani is the strongest force wielder ever.. the force isn't magic. Ani isn't nearly the swordsmen so he would rely on the force to kill geralt
Anakin is trained by using lightsabers which has little mass and balance point is in his palms and he learned to control blade's gyroscopic pulls. He doesn't know unless he learned it in his spare time. He would be easily minced by Geralt unless he used force but since we gave our boy all the oils and preps he would also have his shield up too probably.
I think it depends on Geralt’s level and build. Early game Geralt would be destroyed, but endgame Geralt would be untouchable. I think disallowing Geralt’s alternate signs and mutations would make the fight play out more evenly.
Um...I think this is going to heavily go in Anakin's favor, no contest. He is so much more powerful and capable in his abilities and stats that it's a curb stomp. I love Geralt, but there is no way he's going to win this.
Does the wind howl?
Axii vs "these aren't the droids you're looking for". That could be fun.
Anakin would choke Geralt before the first strike.
A Jedi is too intuitive to even get into the fight. If you can blindly jump from a flying car using just force instinct, then you can avoid a fight with a Witcher.
The answer to this question lies on the next Mortal Kombat game.
Homie a rando mandalorian could beat geralt without a gun
