Who's he ever one-shotted comparable to Nihilus? He couldn't one-shot Galen Marek, whilst 'desperate'. Let alone Starkiller. Neither of whom have feats comparable to destroying Citadel station.

DE Sidious >> RotJ Sidious >> RotS Sidious > EoTPM SIdious >>> TPM Sidious > Nihilus. That power chain leads to the obvious conclusion, or we can argue from feats and Sidious still curbs.

So you like to refer to Nihilus' power as savant when it fits you defining his differences but make no such distinction upon comparing him to Sheev. Nice to know.
Oh and Sheev's best feats don't compare as overwhelmingly well as you think.

I'm sorry, but what feats does Nihilus have that even makes this a competition? Is he a better duelist? Was he draining a planet full of billions every single day from across the galaxy for decades without stopping? Did he stomp on several of the best duelists of his era while fighting against on of the best duelists in the mythos? Did he hold his own against someone on par with Yoda? Was he so powerful that it literally took every single Jedi in existence plus the omnipresent force itself just to temporarily hold his spirit inside of a dying Jedi's body?
Seriously, what did Nihilus do again? I'd honestly like to know what's stopping Palpatine from using a force storm to teleport him into a sun.

Nah, Nihilus was draining a colony made up of millions of Force sensitive Miraluka and almost the entirety of the Jedi order. In a vastly shorter period of time. He also utterly decimated the surface of the planet and the buildings on it. But there's also the fact that he was feeding off of the pervading psychic energy of the entire Republic.
Nihilus having no one comparable to face isn't evidence of absence. Though the fact he's capable of one-shotting everybody else noteworthy in the theatre of the dark wars is pretty indicative of his combative abilities.
Force Storms didn't help him when Luke cut him off from the Force.
None of this is really indicative of the better Nihilus arguments either though.

deathslash, Sidious' Byss draining never occured across the galaxy. There is no evidence to it.
