Just a couple of things. I think Dayne with the sword of morning is arguably on par with the Dragonknight (just a personal opinion).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Not convinced Jamie should be in that top tier, I'd probably see him at the top of high tier myself.
Oberyn is definitely a tier above where you have him, he was dancing around the mountain and could have killed him at many points.
Robert Baratheon is an absolute monster in the books. As far as I'm concerned, he should be pushing top tier.
Pretty sure GRR mentioned something about Darkstar being the most dangerous man in Dorne? I would potentially bump him up too. Khal Drogo and Syrio Forel seem a bit low too.
Howland Reed should be in high high tier imo based on feats vs the kingsguard.

Edit: Bronn is a tier too low also.

"Robert had been stronger than him, to be sure. The White Bull Gerold Hightower as well, in his heyday, and Ser Arthur Dayne. Amongst the living, Greatjon Umber was stronger, Strongboar of Crakehall most likely, both Cleganes for a certainty"

that's his pov.

Amongst the living, Greatjon Umber was stronger, Strongboar of Crakehall most likely, both Cleganes for a certainty. (...)It did not matter. With speed and skill, Jaimie could beat them all.
Keep in mind this is his own opinion.
Definitely think syrio should be higher. Doubt he got the title first sword of braavos lightly.
Jaime thinks he can beat them all, but Jaime is really arrogant so his opinion on himself is useless.
Brienne's quote was more interesting, I don't remember her exact words but she did imply he would be the strongest in all of Westeros before he was chained and prisoned.
Anyone have her quote?
"He was weak from imprisonment, and chained at the wrists. No knight in the Seven Kingdoms could have stood against him at his full strength, with no chains to hamper him. Jaime had done many wicked things, but the man could fight! His maiming had been monstrously cruel. It was one thing to slay a lion, another to hack his paw off and leave him broken and bewildered."
– Brienne of Tarth remembering her fight with Jaime prior to Jaime losing his sword hand
how many swordsmen has Brienne encountered?
Grrm stated that Jamie was one of the best of all time. I'd put him below Dayne but in the same tier as him.
Based on the fact that other members of aerys kingsguard were excluded from that section it is implied that he is referring to their physical strength when he states them to be his superior. Dayne under the circumstances was superior to selmy and every other knight yet selmy isnt mentioned as someone he could beat "with speed and skill" so strength is the sole factor being mentionedThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

The Smiling Knight is not a top tier. Dayne defeated him rather easily. Jamie at the age of (15?) held his own against him for a brief amount of time.
Dat Tier set-up
Bronn should be Mid-High-Low-Left-Right-Mid-Upper-Top-Low-Sausage-MidLow-Mid-Top Tier.
Imo.

Hes a difficult one. Through Jaimes descriptions its clear he was an infamous and powerful swordsmen since he was the individual most people aspired to beat and had already received injuries by the time his sword broke against dayne suggesting that he was losing. High tier seems more likely to meThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

God Tier
Arthur Dayne
Daemon Blackfyre
Aemon "Dragonknight" Targaryen
Cregan Stark
Gwayne Corbray
he was already injured when he fecthced another sword suggesting dayne was winning. I personally dont think anyone should be above either the man regarded as the most noble sowrdsmen nor the guy compared to the warrior himself.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Dayne was selmys equal andgwayne fought for an enitire hour which represents the closest margin you could get between two people, the circumstances of cregan vs aemon werent revealed, simply that cregan was the best after aemon so i dont think hed be above gwayne
aemon
daemon/gwayne
cregan
dayne/selmy

The list was in no particular order. They all belong in a whole seperate tier though. All 6 of them could push each other to extreme diff, imo. Selmy would be the weakest though. Is it assumed that Cregan had Ice when he fought Aemon?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
he was the lord of winterfell so it is likely. I agree with selmy being the weakest even with valyrian weaponryThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
