Game of Thrones Seasons 1-4 Combat Power Rankings
Posted on 6/18/14 at 5:43 pm
Posted on 6/18/14 at 5:43 pm
I've been wanting to do this for a while. As the title says, I want to compile a list of the best fighters in the GoT universe using whatever evidence is available up to this point in the television series.
I would not be against referencing the books, since a lot of what we have to go on is conjecture from other characters (Ser Barristan Selmy, for example, is supposedly a bad motherfricker but we haven't really seen him fight.) As long as there are no future spoilers, I'm fine with it.
I wanted to open discussion up to the board. I'll start with a rough draft. Of course, this list will include spoilers from all 4 seasons of Game of Thrones. One wishing to avoid these spoilers should turn back now.
1. The Viper
2. The Mountain
3. Ser Barristan Selmy
4. Brienne of Tarth
5. The Hound
6. Drago
7. Bronn
8. Robb Stark
9. Jon Snow
10. Ser Loras
I'm sure two-handed Jaime would fit in the top level there somewhere, but again, it's hard to say because we did not get a good glimpse at his true abilities - just conjecture from other characters. This is one of those instances where I wouldn't mind a Maester adding some input.
Again, super rough draft. Let's work on this thing and have some fun with it.

Haven't seen him fight yet so I don't know where I'd put him

5. The Hound
I'd swap these. The Hound wasn't at full strength when he fought Brienne.
I'd also probably put Jon ahead of Rob. Ser Alliser also deserves to be on there. He was a complete badass in the battle for Castle Black.

Ned Stark has to be in there somewhere
nvm...you said in the show...

I'd out Brienne over Selmy, hell maybe #1 just cause she's alive
Posted on 6/18/14 at 5:50 pm to NawlinsTiger9
I'd put Hodor controlled by Bran above Robb.

What are the criteria for best fighter?
Posted on 6/18/14 at 5:54 pm to NawlinsTiger9
Television evidence is going to really limit what we have to go of off.
This might need to be a maesters thread.
But to play along, I'd say Brienne only defeated the hound bc she had a Valyrian sword. The Hound is a badass.
Also, you left off Jaqen H'Gar, who is most certainly a bad mofo and you forgot Syrio Forel, another BMF

List not legit without Ser Arthur Dayne or Azor Ahai
Posted on 6/18/14 at 5:55 pm to NawlinsTiger9
Ser Barristan is better than the Mountain. Really the Mountain isn't so much a great swordsman as he is just a sheer terror on the battlefield. His armor is almost impenetrable, and that's why he's able to fight so long.
And Jaime certainly was at one point.

Barristan in his prime, Arthur Dayne, and Jaime (with 2 hands prior to his hand getting chopped off).
Posted on 6/18/14 at 10:09 pm to NawlinsTiger9
I'm leaving Arthur Dayne out, simply because he never technically appeared in the show and I'm still a Hodor. 
Revised list:
1. Prime Ser Barristan
2. The Viper
3. 2-handed Jaime
4. The Hound
5. The Mountain
6. Drogo
7. Brienne
8. Bronn
9. Jon Snow
10. Tormund Giantsbane
