Arya basically did the same thing.. Casually Charged in through four Elite Walkers that was behind the Night King

She had a back up plan .. That move on the night king isn't new to us. Remember when she was training with lady brienne, she used a similar move on her with the same dagger given to her by Bran.

Impossible to say. They all use different weapons, and have such widely different styles, that we can't tell for real which one has the best technique.

2 handed Jamie fought with a 'classic' style but in the only 1v1 fight I remember, he was so unconvincing in his battle with Ned Stark, his body guard felt the need to intervene.

Oberyn was an egotist with an overly histrionic style. Technique was solid but the need to showoff proved to be too great a weakness.

Jon Snow is not a great fighter. Unlike the vast majority of his opponents, Jon Snow has had the benefit of martial training since he was a boy. It's ok beating people who don't know how to hold a sword or never had any real training...when it's time to face his mates, he always needs to be bailed out. ALWAYS.

Brienne is a great fighter but is always wearing full plate armour and so has a great deal of protection from damage at all times. In a pure fight one v one (no iron man suit) with some of the other names on this list, I'm not sure she would do very well. For example, The Hound beat her black and blue with only his bare hands.

Stannis is a soldier.

Jorah amazing swordsmanship. Can solo anybody but a bit fragile.Any small touch and man is injured.

The hound - less technique, more brute force. Can and will use anything to kill his opponents from sword, axe, his hands, his teeth. Very pragmatic. Most importantly, this man can take some damage. Burn his face, Break his legs, Stab him. He will not die. He's like Brienne but 3 times better.

For me the hound is the number 1 fighter on your list.

Jorah the andal number 2.

Jon Snow last egbe.
Did you remember when Ramsey Bolton was challenged by Jon to a one one combat. Ramsey mentioned that he has heard about Jon's fighting and they say he the best in all the North.
Jon snow is that good. Just believe it
As for Jamie, he once mentioned that there were only 2 people in the 7 kingdoms who could best him in combat. And you should know that Ned Stark was also a legendary swordsman that's why Jamie always wanted to spar with him. Jamie wasn't sure if he could beat Ned Stark. Also Tyrion would always confidently chose him in trial by combat. He is that good!

what is dead may never die, but rises again stronger and harder

When the iron borns are baptized, they get drowned in the river and left to resuscitate... They die and then rise stronger.

I don't really put much stock in the opinions of the characters because many characters on the show have been proven to be wrong on their opinions

Factually speaking, Jon is the least skilled fighter on that list and has never been able to solo a known fighter without interventionm

Well in my opinion Jon snow always last longer in a fight more than the others if u watch the battle at hardhorme, others joined the dragon and Jon still stay behind... He knows how to fight wild..... No one in The nights watch can withstand him, and he was always feared by other commanders..... Even the night king knows that if he comfronts Jon he might not meet bran.... He is always unpredictable in fighting.... My opinion though....

Wildlings are untrained fighters. The only times you see Jon Snow shine in battle are against wildings, wights, or new recruits at castle black

Almost anybody who has had minimal military training should easily beat that mofo.

He killed qhorin halfhand.
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by longleg(m): 3:33pm On May 04, 2019
The red woman asked arya "what do you say to death" and she replied "not today" before arya moved.
My point is I think the red woman knew arya is the nightkings doom because seeing the look on her face when she first saw arya at winterfel tells it all.
HanksAnuku:


Arya had already shut a number of blue eyes before that scene.

As mellisandre was repeating a prophecy she had made BEFORE the battle of winterfell, and both parties were reminiscing about their past encounter, i took that line mean something along the lines of "i no tell you?"

Obviously hindsight is always 20-20, but I don't think Mellisandre was telling us what would happen.

Mellisandre has also gotten prophecies spectacularly wrong, even after getting the subjects to look into the flames and see stuff.

On that basis, there isn't really a compelling argument (at least to me) that Mellisandre was telling us what was going to happen.

In fact, I think this was the first prophecy that she's actually gotten right on the show...and she had to rely on a greater power than the Lord of light to bring the prophecy to fruition.

There's zero correlation between the bolded and the night king

The first time we heard that statement on the show, Arya was running away from danger, not towards it.

Mellisandre is also a false prophet who had never actually made any correct predictions prior to that moment, so how she looked was irrelevant.

Lord of light did not tell her anything in this case. She had to rely on a higher power - the God of Plot.

Fat Sam was crying on the floor, stabbing wights left and right as he lay on a bed of corpses that he made.

Killing wights takes relatively little skill. Even the likes of Danaerys and Samwell Tarly can do it

The Iron Islanders worship the Drowned god.
During initiation/baptism, a person is submerged under water and allowed to drown i.e. become unconscious (die). Then a CPR-like exercise is carried out and the person is resuscitated. Many die in this exercise.

Thus, the phrase comes from the idea that the person is "dead" and will not die again.

My memory is rusty so this may be less than accurate. But that's the general idea though.

The hound beat Brienne black and blue with his bare hands is what I said. I did not say he won the fight. And don't take my statement out if context. My point then was that Brienne was wearing a full suit of armour an f the hound still managed to deal heavy damage to her.

The fight with halfhand was staged so that jon would gain the thrust of the wildlings. He didn't beat the halfhand fair and square, the halfhand sacrificed his life so the wildlings would take Jon in and Jon could in turn spy on them.
