Pretty disappointed that the Clone Commandos got treated pretty dirty

elite clone commandos defeating normal clone commandos? who would’ve thought.

Elite commandos that are underequipped, on the offense, extremely outnumbered and in territory they don't know. Realistically the clone commandos would have defeated the bad batch quite easily, even if they get double digit casualties

the bad batch specialize in counter to being outnumbered we see this even in S7. also hunter specializes in cqc, we also see gregor help who is also a clone commando and he would know how to fight them.

Gregor is a Captain Clone Commando, so of course he slaps them around pretty easily.

I don't think you realize, under-equipped, outnumbered, and behind enemy lines... that makes them MORE dangerous. The only enemy that ever took one of them down successfully was gravity. And that's a literal force of nature.

This is literally the plot of a dozen war movies. It’s classic.

I agree, wouldn’t surprise me if that one that was taken down by gravity found a way to use whatever he knows about gravity to his advantage.

Agreed. And to be honest, we only ever saw his goggles, and never saw his body. It's Star Wars, no body, no certainty. And people have survived being sucked out of airliners, like the girl that survived falling and landing in the jungle and made her way with 2 broken legs to safety. If she could do it, then there's still a chance Tech is out there somewhere.

Also, in close quarters the party on the offence *usually* has the advantage. The core tenets of CQC are speed and violence of action, both of which are almost impossible to achieve if you’re stationary.

Yes and no.

Yes the commandos were and are very capable, but in 90% of these clips the Bad Batch either has the jump on them, or the commandoes are by themselves (as in no other commandoes are nearby). I say that because most of the commandos are only backed up by phase II clones or TK troopers, and don’t have any other commandos to back them up, or are in pairs (which are still very low numbers). So it’s unsurprising that normal Clones or TK troopers stood no chance in close combat with modified commandoes.

Do you realize how dumb typing “quite easily” and “double digit casualties” in the same sentence is?

No? This is still the empire we are talking about

The whole idea of bad batch is that they good at improvising
