>Grievous in Star Wars Episode 3/Clone Wars
>Ultimate Jobber King and Saturday morning cartoon villain

>Grievous in any video game
>Absolute fucking S-tier menace

What causes this condition?

>>714368613 (OP)
Most video games based him off the 2003 Clone Wars show, where he was a genuine threat

>>714368613 (OP)
>Episode 3
His heart got force crushed by Windu, he was crippled.
>Clone Wars
Disney shit, no character got treated right by them anyway

>>714368613 (OP)
He jobbed to Obi-wan which is the greatest jedi prodigy in their modern history. That's not real jobbing. In the Obi-wan game(which is canon btw) he dueled the entire jedi council all at once alone as his final exercise and won before he went on his Phantom Menace adventure with his master.

He's one of the worst heroes in BF2. Slowest dash, no ranged attacks, long-ass dash attack.

>>714369605
Classic or modern? Because in 2017 he's considered the best anti-chaff hero character by a wide margin.

bit of an odd narrative choice but he was already sick and injured and fucking dying by the time he showed up in the movie

Character's personality doesn't translate to some sperg controlling them in an online amtch.
Just because Grievous is a coward that relies on playing dirty to win, while ironically also being overconfident as fuck, doesn't mean Jimmy won't go Hulk Smash with his robot body

>>714368613 (OP)
It’s funny that his fight with Obi-Wan is way better in the ROTS game than in the film and you really get the sense that Grievous is one lethal motherfucker but Obi-Wan is just that good.

Grievous is even more awesome in the comics based off the 2003 show. He straight up destroys both Ventress and Durge in a 2 v. 1 as part of a test by Dooku IIRC and they really go out of their way to show off that he is a strategic/tactical genius that makes Thrawn look like a pussy faggot.

in one comic he wanted to turn jedi padawans into cyborgs like himself

Lucas wanted sickly conniving Nosferatu that would foreshadow Darth Vader's pathetic, sickly nature rather than le epic edgy jedi slayer

Lucas goes against the juvenile capeshit power level shittery grain most jewish media is based off and that's what made him a memorable character in the movie.

Lucas hated him and wanted him to be another characterless villain who could only dole out a few stock catchphrases before biting it. That's why Grievous's entire backstory was excised in "Canon".

He's a robot, not a tight, young orange Togruta

Grievous demolishes almost anyone who doesn't have plot armor

Clanka bitch

The original version was all about crushing Jedi in close combat.

>>714368613 (OP)
Imagine him in a sekiro or MGR like game. It would be amazing. Why hasn't any developer thought to do a star wars game like that that actually plays good yet is beyond me. Literally free money I'd buy at least 100 copies

>>714376310
for a long time it was given exclusively to EA so nobody else was allowed to make games for it. and, well, EA is EA...

>>714370687
I meant old BF2

Reminder that BF4 would have had what ifs where characters roles were reversed like Sith Like and Jedi Ventress.

>>714368613 (OP)
in the original clone wars cartoon, he was a fucking menace and only became weaker after windu crushed his lungs or whatever
the 3d show made him a joke

>>714368613 (OP)
George "Stupid Nigger" Lukas said that only his baby boy Darth Vader is allowed to be cool and intimidating so they had to turn Greivous into a joke in the movies.

>Game was 99% complete and EA canned guaranteed money

>>714375993
The original version is the version Lucas made.
Some fucking promo animaion being allowed to shaow a new character before the film released doesn't changed who the creator of the character is

>>714380593
I can't believe that they still haven't done some sort of adaptation of Grievous's backstory. I want to see Grievous with his sister/wife/whatever

George was mostly hands off with the Tartakovsky Clone Wars cartoon. All Tartakovsky had to work with when making the cartoon was some concept art of Grievous, and was allowed to do whatever he wanted.

George imagined Grievous as a cowardly Dick Dastardly type who talks a big game but isn't that competent in a straight fight and runs at the first sign of trouble. Tartakovsky imagined a badass Jedi Killer. Tartakovsky's version came first in release order so people think that's the "original" version of the character even though George is the actual creator. I do not like the prequels, but Grievous' characterization not aligning with the promotional cartoon isn't an actual flaw with Revenge of the Sith
