Starfleet Jedi

If Saetedans and Mandalorians faced each other in hand to hand combat which of the 2 sides would have the upper hand no pun intended in hand to hand combat?

while mandalorians are "bad asses"n they seem to more of the variety of bad asses that never make a mistake and will shoot you before you even realized that they moved. I do not see them as amazing hand to hand combatants.

In KotOR 2 they, the Mandalorians, were very capable in close combat, though not all focused on it. I don't know much about the Saetedans, but I would wager the the Mandalorians of the Old Republic era would at least give them a run for their money.

Depends on what you mean by Satedans. Originally they were nothing more then humans, but the ones that became hunted by the Wraith seemed to grow some series hand-to-hand skill. Ronon for instance fought a several hour match with Teal'c without dropping dead from exhaustion. Similarly, he took hits powerful enough to launch his own mass several meters back.

I'm not sure exactly how a human is supposed to be capable of things like that. Perhaps the Wraith somehow augmented them in order to get a better fight out of them?

If Satedans are like Ronon, then I give it to the Satedans.
They are much more impressive then any Mandalorian I've ever seen.

They're faster, stronger, and tougher then Mandalorians, and are generally bred for combat, if memory serves...
