That's why there's context involved in these things. I'm not saying any new character would be called into question, I'm saying a character that was able to eclipse or match Sheev in feats. Someone that actually made you ponder these things, not some loser like if Exar Kunt were introduced now.
Characters introduced after the fact aren't retroactively bound by these statements. Luckily there's no instances so far, but it shouldn't be such a hard cap.
Also I like how this thread is trying to debunk Sheev when it's also trying to build up Exar by latching onto statements that with twisting we can put him in Sheev's tier. So he's at best in Sheev's tier with one Luke statement to the contrary? Wouldn't that make neither Kun or Sheev the most powerful Sith in history? How exactly does this help his cause unless we really grasp at that Luke statement?
Good point. At least if Sheev isn't the top, we can rule out lessers like Darth Kun, Darth Dooku, Anakin Vader, and Maul.
Then we can rule out people more powerful than Kun like Malak and Revan as both are worse than Vitiate.
The anarchy only leads to one other person. The insanity you caused! How could you lead to such a free for all with only one other contender? Pure anarchy!
So you're saying the literal only thing that holds Krayt back from being less than Sidious is Sheev's hype of being the most powerful? That if we delete those accolades, Krayt is more powerful than Palpatine?
Also, again, it does wonders for apparently two characters if you include Krayt. Who are the multitudes?

Sheev's most powerful quotes were a massive status quo mechanic in the forums, without them being considered infallible then there are actual debates to be made to the contrary.
Oh and no, the Malak bait is pretty pathetic, especially given how his only concrete wank comes from Star Forge scaling.

The sheer amount of butthurt caused by the Emperor’s supremacy by itself is a greater feat than anything Kun has done, and AP unintentionally became the strongest evidance for this.
Wtf!? When did he say that? Did it he really state that using such choice of words?

"The most powerful Sith Lord of all" does imply all of history, because at the time Sidious and Vader were the only Sith. Of all implies there's more than just two. But at the time there wasn't. So... maybe think a little?
I'm open to any other interpretation.
I'm sorry... what? This is published alongside TCW while TCW was still part of the EU. It counts.
Because being "the lord of all Sith Lords" means he's probably the best at jenga or something.
And the entire forum doesn't care if you think any of these arguments aren't retarded, cheap excuses. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Oh, and another quote to seal the deal:
"Is Bane correct? I don't know. HE thinks he's correct. On some cosmic level I do too, and that the concentration brought about by the Rule of Two allowed the dark side to grow in strength until the era of Palpatine -- the most powerful dark lord in history."
