This quote - legit or nah?

An imposing figure with ghostly pale features, prominent Sith tattoos, a gleaming red lightsaber, and devastating Dark Side power, Malak struck terror into the hearts of his former allies. He also wore a vocal mask that may have concealed a form of cybernetic life-support. Did it provide him with powers far greater than even Exar Kun or Freedon Nadd, or was cybernetic enhancement too simple an explanation?

―Wizards of the Coast: Darth Malak

Azronger, given the shit that you take as legit, yeah, it's legit.

Given the shit normal people take as legit, no.

Though Ant, tbf if you take the red-text quotes seriously, I don't see why you shouldn't take this one as such too.

What are the reasons against its legitimacy?

I take all quotes, feats, etc. as subjective. I don't regard the Foundry quote as definitive, but rather evidence.

Same applies here, but when this is the only evidence in a stream of contrary evidence, I'm inclined to dismiss it.

That being said, it's pretty lawl to say Kun could one-shot Malak if a source is establishing something like this.

The only reason that I can think of that people would bring up off the top of my head is that WotC has said a lot of ridiculous shit. Though I doubt that's a sufficient answer for you.

What contradictory evidence is there?

That's fallacious reasoning, yeah.

By "contrary evidence," I didn't mean outright contradictory.

That quote is solely applicable within the context of the Star Wars Miniatures Game. This one - from the looks of things - is applicable to the actual continuity.

Given this source says Sidious > Caedus >/~ Revan > all other Sith and Yoda ~ Vader ~ Mace Windu > Dooku ~ Obi-Wan ~ Bastila... No, I don't take it as canon.

Malak > Kun isn't explicitly contradicted, as far as I know.

Fallacy of composition. Dismissed.

Also, see my response to TenebrousWay.

Indeed.

Also, for anyone wondering for the context of the quote, here's the full article:

As you can see, it's lore-related, not gameplay-related.

Why's it matter? It doesn't answer the question if Malak is better than Kun or not.

What is suppose to be legit here? I mean the quote isn't saying anything, it's asking a question. It isn't confirming anything if it's asking something. So the question is legit I suppose.

Can people really not read? The quote is asking by what means did Malak grow far more powerful than Exar Kun.
