Yes, its time for another one of these.

1. Sabers

2. Force

3. All-Out

As boring as this is to say: Dark Empire.

Dark Empire Sidious undeniably wins.
I think it's pretty clear that RotJ/post Byss Palpatine wins.
I understand the case for Valk over RotS Sidious but I'd still take him.
TPM I still think Sidious edges it out, especially post-Plagueis death.

Who cares about this shit match up, that's been done to death?

eehhh, answer is the same as always, Valk 10/10 for Force and all out, Sidious 10/10 for sabers

It's potentially the most contentious rivalry ever.

Kek, post-Byss Palpatine has replicated all of Valkorion's nexus ritual feats on his own power, except for esoteric ones like Nathema and stuff.

Syndicate
Sidious.
Valk.
Valk.

Lord Stark
Sidious
Valk (barely)
Sidious stomps

Dunno why, KEK. The winner is quite obvious, honestly.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Valk. smile

It's the last chance of the ancient wankers to dethrone Palpatine. smile

Deronn_solo
Too bad Valk still lags behind. But hey, number 2 ain't all that bad. thumb up

The Ellimist
I'd say number three behind Plagueis. smile

Deronn_solo
I laugh, 'cause it's possible. laughing out loud

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Nah, not at all.

Deronn_solo
Yeah, you would say that.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
I just find it funny how you, the guy who argues based on mostly/solely showings, thinks it's even remotely possible for Plagueis to take Valkorion for a majority.

The Ellimist
Unbalancing the Force and stuff.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Lmao

Jmanghan
Why was that the first time the force was unbalanced?

The Dark Side has been in control before, so has the light side.

Jmanghan
Remember when Meetra Surik was the "Last Jedi"?

I remember that.

The Ellimist
Their feats are in different contexts so it's hard to compare them side by side, but if Valkorion could pull off that ritual why didn't he? Plagueis didn't have the resources to replicate a Nathema or whatever.

I'd say publishers blurbs aren't infallible but count when it's unclear otherwise, so Plagueis > Vitiate. Vs. Valkorion is unclear.

1: ...Because Vitiate didn't want to simply unbalance the force, lmfao. His plan was to consume the galaxy and quite literally become God. And in fiction, "he didn't therefore he couldn't" is incredibly shaky at best. Hell, it's this very logic that sort of shits on Plagueis, (hence Ant's arguments of Revan >/= Plagueis).

2: You say the blurb isn't infallible, and that it, "counts," then proceed to use it as the sole component of your analysis of the two. Why do feats stop mattering here?

The Ellimist
If you can present a case for Valk or Vitiate on feats, go ahead.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
I'm just trying to probe how you view things as you do, because it seems to shift from thread to thread/character to character.

The Ellimist
It's a combination, if feats are inconclusive the blurb tips the scales.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
So essentially you're saying that Plagueis's feats as they pertain to combat rival Vitiate's?

The Ellimist
Yeah feats and accolades I'd say so

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Feels like that'd be a little tough to prove. mmm

Impossible is the word you're looking for.
