A character that helps you define old or new timeline is Leah Clearwater, lead of the New one. She is one of the strongest characters and definitely one of the fastest, but can she cope with the massive power levels of Old Timeline? Whom she can beat while at full strength?

Can: Rowdy Rancor

This Rancor is no ordinary one. It is mutated by the mad scientist Cortex and a fearsome glutton. An ordinary Rancor can defeat even untrained Force Users, and this one is far stronger. However, Leah does not rely on brute force. She also has faced equally powerful creatures like Gozuki or the Vanguard. Especially the Vanguard, who could kill her in one hit and still lost.

Can't: Spider Mastermind

One of the Three Enforcers, she is the only one not good with Hellfire. However, she has technology and very good range, and if the lasers and plasma bombs don't get Leah, the super chaingun WILL, and IS fast enough to hit and wound her at close range, where she primarily fights.

Can: Krugg

He is a Knight of Ren, from the slow but strong ones, and has a powerful red laser axe. His Force powers are formidable and if he hits Leah, she will feel it. However, she is physically both faster and stronger than him, plus her healing will help a lot.

Can't: Grand Admiral Thrawn

She might be the strongest Stormwolf member who reaches the Boar News Tower, but Leah's fighting style has glaring weaknesses. Even with the Sonic Overdrive, Leah is not so good in ranged attacks, her weapons are a joke unless she fights vampires, and she is very weak to silver. Grand Admiral "Big Brain" Thrawn is smart enough, after he studies her, to use all three weaknesses and arm himself with silver armor and weapons with long range.

Can: The Roundhead

Old Timeline's propagandist is not nearly as strong as Al Astor. Sure he has a saber, invisibility and rockets, but Leah can smell him and outrun the missiles. She can also punch him rapidly. He does stand a small chance, but the odds are in her favor.

Can't: Bruton

The strongest of the Knights of Ren, but one of the least skilled. His Force abilities surpass Kylo's in raw power and give trouble to Rey and Finn, and he has a giant two-handed red lightsaber that can cleave even Leah in half if he hits her. Since the Force is hard to avoid, Leah can't use her superior speed, and in terms of weapon skills Bruton is not so great, but better than Leah.

Can: Captain Nebula

One of Thrawn's bodyguards, the brawn to Eli and Thrawn's brains, he replaces Phasma and fights Chewbacca. He puts up a good fight, but gets defeated by the big Wookie. He would be just as strong as Phasma if not for his strong shoulder cannon and more skills. Leah will have a little more trouble than Chewie and his bowcaster, but still manages to outclass Nebula in speed and power.

Can't: Twinrova

This giant witch isn't like most big monsters. She is actually very intelligent and strong as an Archdemon. She can use very well both fire and ice, and can crush people with her bare hands. Leah is outmatched at nearly everything, especially abilities.

Can: Ian Brandon Anderson

One of the most evil characters I have ever written. A serial stalker and tyrant, he attempts to make women his breeder machines. He has powerful energy waves, electricity and is fast enough in his monster form to keep up with Clearwater. And vice versa about speed. However, there is a little problem. Ian is an idiot with little durability, and his weak spot is an obvious one in the chest. Leah can avoid his attacks, stab him with his stake there and then kick his ass, like Finn, Rey and Kylo all did separately.

Can't: The Malacoda

The lord of Malebolge, this Archdemon used to be Kylo Ren. This is his demon form, far stronger than the original and without what little empathy was left. His mind control is amplified tenfold due to his eyes, making him able to overcome even normally strong-minded people like Rey, his tail is indestructible, his right hand is permanently a lightsaber and his left can still use the Force even more than before. Oh, and he has Hellfire including homing seething masses of it. Rey and Finn needed teamwork to defeat this creature, Leah alone never stood a chance.
Feel free to disagree, but these are my top 5 favorite fights in the Dimensional War. (Note: TROS did not happen there.)

5. Finn vs Zeroes and then Kreia Ren. This barely made it, the runner-ups will have honorable mentions. Finn first fought Zeroes. Despite the big gap in the former's favor, he struggled because he had no intention to kill him, but open his eyes. When Zeroes was starting considering it, Kreia stabbed him in the back and fought Finn. The two traded blows in a balanced fight. Kreia was giving her all, having the man on the ropes, while taunting him. When Finn eventually got Fierce, he managed to kill her... but it was what she wanted, as she wanted him to turn Fierce and stop Ganondorf.

4. Finn vs Ganondorf, Round 2. After the Prince of Darkness had an unbeatable record, killing Luke Skywalker and Face of Destiny, he defeated Rey and had him at his mercy. Finn intervened and refused an offer he couldn't refuse. He initiated a fight with the demigod, knowing he had hardly a chance. It was an one-sided beating until Finn became Fierce, catching his enemy off-guard. The beating was then reversed and Ganondorf barely escaped with his life. Was the first chapter I ever wrote and has a lot of emotional value to me.

3. Rey and Finn vs Malacoda. This one is barely above the fourth, but maybe the purest Finnrey moment I have ever written. Fighting against a demonic version of Kylo Ren, Rey lost and got brainwashed. She was forced to fight Finn, who for once struggled not to get Fierce because it would be detrimental. He barely defended himself and was almost defeated, but he managed to free Rey by kissing her in the lips and then striking Malacoda's eyes. Malacoda, even with his eyes struck, managed to fight back. But when facing Finn and Rey simultaneously, he was no match for them and fell in two hits before getting choked by his own tail, the sign of what he had become.

2. Rey (and Anakin) vs Kylo, final fight in Dimensional Chaos. I call this "the small finals" because it was the actual final fight of the first story. Both warriors, a fully trained Rey and a massively buffed Kylo, fought using every resource at their disposal. Anakin himself intervened to save Kylo, but failed. At one point, Kylo even used his ship and mirrored the way he killed Leia, but Rey returned his attack. And when he feigned being good and stabbed them both, Rey unleashed all of her anger, bringing the monster down.

Honorable mentions: Poe Dameron vs Grand Admiral Thrawn, Commander Saber vs Thrawn, Luke Skywalker vs Knights of Ren, Finn vs Cyberdemon.

1. Finn (and Resistance) vs Ganondorf (and his bodyguards), the final battle. Originally, Finn's Inferno would advance from Chapter 3 to just this. I am planning to make this rewrite soon, in case anyone is tired of the intermediate arcs.
On to the battle itself. Finn is Fierce for the entire fight, but finally finds his match as Ganondorf turns into a new Red Demon form and trades equal blows with him... at least initially. When Finn gets the upper hand, Ganondorf is completely pushed off the edge, something that started when the Resistance entered Cocytus. He starts fighting with everything he's got, giving Finn the hardest beating of his life and knocking him out with a stab in the back. This causes everyone in the Resistance to fight to protect him, while Ganondorf's bodyguards assist their Master. With teamwork, heroes like Pan, Link and the Doom Slayer weaken the Dark Lord, but he seems nearly unstoppable... and when he attacks Finn, Rey jumps, pregnant, in front and her children get killed.
This pisses off Finn, who has recovered, and starts attacking the injured Demon King. What follows can't be really given justice with words, and ends in Finn sacrificing himself to destroy Ganondorf and end the war for good.
The stories from oldest in the timeline to newest. Canon movies in between. TROS doesn't exist in this timeline, because I started beforehand.
