Robert Baratheon is 6'6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Leftwich Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Good to know, a war between Tywin and Robert would absolutely come down to how tall Sandor was at age 12. No other aspects would factor in at all. Glad this was topic was covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only 89 selfies today Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Tywin has more skills than Robert. Tywin finds a way to beat his enemies outside of the field of battle. Robb, Rhaegar, and Robert are warriors and only looked at battle plans. Tywin looks at the big picture and uses what will work. He would be proud of Dany if they were on the same team because they both find a way to win when the odds are against them. Tywin used Walder and Roose to defeat Robb for him. Robert will try to draw Tywin out in single combat and Tywin will turn the tables and look for ways to trap Robert. He can do what Bloodraven did to the Blackfyres. Tywin, Bloodraven, and Dany use more than fighting skills to win. Robert may win on the field but Tywin will beat him in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already know that Robert is regarded as a good commander. Tarlys reputation rests on defeating him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Storm Reborn Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 A prime Sandor is STILL below prime Robert who in 1v1 armoured combat is the top of the food chain by skill and weapon speciality, so his height at 12 or 25 is irrelevant. It would take both Cleganes at adult ages to stop him at that time. As a commander it´s in the story, his military CV and success is surpassed only by Aegon with WMD's.

And certainly doesn’t crack the top 5. i'm talking prime Robert a guy who Ned says is peerless as a combatant, the same guy who fought Dayne before said quote, and it wasn't parcial because he said Dayne was the best knight he ever saw and Bob was a knight aswell, but being a knight isn´t just combat prowess. more 1v1 noble kills than most (aside from Barristan, who had double the years as a carreer soldier) including Dayne, Jaime, etc. a specialist in warhammer use, a deadlier weapon for armoured combat than any sword and most other weapons "In his youth Robert Baratheon was a paragon of a man, stronger and larger than most others on the battlefield. His chosen weapon was a war hammer of such immense size his friend Ned Stark could not wield it. The hammer was forged by Donal Noye while he was still the smith at Storm’s End, and Robert’s prowess with it was legendary."georgerrmartin.com "Warhammers always had spikes. It was part of what made them so deadly." Grrm not a blog defeated Jon Connington ( a deadly knight by his own merit chosen ahead of any KG by Aerys II, with textual noble kills) while recovering from injury with a secondary weapon killed rhaegar despite being on horseback (the best chance for the prince who was a much better jouster, a major skill for targeting enemies on horse), a 1v1 on foot would end early again, Grafton, Fell, Mooton, Connington, Rhaegar... noble knights that make a list supporting every comment on Robert's prowess who else can grab the number 1 spot? this character has textual comments, kills, and physical/weapon skills that put to shame the vast majority in the story... martial 1v1 cv's only barristan can match, who had much more years of combat, dayne is mostly compliments from others, the smilling knight, and grrm's words wich put him on the best ever list but in no way superior to Robert aside from sword mastery, jaime is top 5 but a slightly below version of Dayne and that's the major dogs, Daemon BF and Aemon DK are other greats but as sword users are still below barristan/dayne/jaime imo Prime Robert, Dayne and Barristan are top3 ever followed very closely by Jaime, so to me neither Clegane could defeat prime robert in any stage of their lifes, wich doesn´t mean they are not top 10 sorry if this gets off topic, as a battle commander to me he ranks above tywin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Señor de la Tormenta Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Robert fought always on the front, and was involved in more battles than almost any other character besides Selmy. Nobody was proben or tested more than him as a fighter in the whole stories. Yet he survived all these fights. Maybe Dayne could had survived such a battle record, maybe not. Fact is, Robert is the real deal. He has the best record in the game of trying to kill without being killed. By far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
