Yes they were. Find one Jedi in the PT who could strip the Force from someone or use Battle Meditation.
Sidious was a powerful Sith, for his time. But let's see Sidious waltz into the Senate like he owns the place while several Jedi are watching, not hide his power, use Sith magic to freeze the entire senate body, and slay the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order while rescuing his apprentice.
He has nothing on the Ancient Sith.
1.Age is a factor, though Im not saying its the beat-all attribute as you would suggest.
2.Yes Yoda is considered a grandmaster, its stated in Dark Rendevous. Where exactly is the official source that Vodo was a grandmaster?
3. Vergere in the NJO series strips Jacen of the force. Although not a jedi, Sidious uses battle meditation on the entire empire.
4. Yes Kun used a sith spell to freeze some defenseless senators and jedi, I dont see how this is proof Kun is superior. I can name a random sidious display of power also, in DE he blows up a fleet with a force storm.
1.Age is a factor, though Im not saying its the beat-all attribute as you would suggest.
Age isn't a factor unless you can put it into context. "Joe is 90, Bob is 19" isn't a rational argument.

TOTJ.

Neither are PT jedi.

Actually, he froze many force users at the same time, too. Go read the source next time.

When will people learn that age is not always a determining factor of power? For example. By that logic, Yoda himself would have been able to utterly and totally obliterate the likes of Count Dooku and Darth Sidious, but both managed to put him to the test!Some people are naturally stronger Force-users than others. In some cases, innate power (if trained properly) negates the ominious bonuses and advantages of experience.
Vodo is beyond Yoda in saber ability and in Force power. This is not because he lived in a time where the average Jedi was stronger than the ones during the Prequel Trilogy, but because of his own noteworthy achievements.
Consider:
Yoda was barely able to stand up to Sidious, who despite being a powerful Sith Lord, is a mere child compared to the likes of Exar Kun, who slaughtered Jedi with the brutality of Anakin Skywalker, but with the power of three Yodas.
In short, Vodo would annihilate Sidious or Yoda, and it is bogus to compare them to the likes of Exar Kun.
Oh, and I'd daresay he'd survive this Gauntlet.
Ugh for once we disagree.

1. All Im saying is age is a factor in power, you cant really argue with that.
2. Okay so we have established both are grandmasters.
3.You guys are arguing that ancient force users are superior to current force users correct? Both people I mentioned are current times force users.
4.Yes and I never denyed that...😐
1. All Im saying is age is a factor in power, you cant really argue with that.
Yes, I can. Joe is 90, Bob is 19. Is the factor good or bad, should be the question.
2. Okay so we have established both are grandmasters.
Vodo is a lightsaber grandmaster as well.
3.You guys are arguing that ancient force users are superior to current force users correct? Both people I mentioned are current times force users.
Actually, this wasn't my original point here.
4.Yes and I never denyed that...😐
You most certainly didn't take it into consideration.

Age isn't a factor. Sidious went head to head with Yoda, who is over ten times older than him.
Now, if someone is two years old and another is five hundred, it would be, but not because of age, but training.

True.

PT Force Users, not NJO Force Users.

You did deny that it would help him though. He might be able to simply freeze Boba/Jango/ and stab them with his saber.

1.More age=more training which is like I said a factor in overall power. Your saying that the additional 300 years of training that Yoda had compared to Vodo means nothing? I dont see the logic.
3.Well thats changes the whole argument, now your saying the the ancient jedi and sith arent always better than their more current counterparts, your saying the PT era in specific is weaker. Yes I have to agree with that, the PT era is rather weak due to the extended peace but Ive already argued with you about the fact there are exceptions to the rule. Better overall doesnt = Vodo will no doubt beat Yoda.
4.Yeah I bet he could...However he is unable to freeze powerful masters with that technique as shown when Vodo was able to resist it.

That same training that helped him against Sidious?

I'm sure there were one or two Ancient Jedi who would lose to Yoda.
Also, notice that Yoda is not the grandmaster over Jacen and Vergere.
It does invariliably go in Vodo's favor though.

There were several Masters present that Exar froze. Vodo was the only one who could resist.

Vodo wasn't even at the building when Kun cast the spell, so the last point is irrelevant.I'll leave my comrades with more patience to address the other, equally fallacious points you made.
Erm yes he was, and Ive already proved you wrong once when you said Yoda was never considered a grandmaster so I wouldnt be calling my arguments fallacious.

Lol were going in circles, lets agree to disagree as neither of us are going to prove with absolute certaintly who would win. To wrap things up before I go
1. Okay fine so what would you suggest? That training has absolutely no effect on power? Its a given guys, time and time again age and experience has won battles; look at the obi-wan/anakin fight as a perfect example. Im not saying a person with more age and training will automatically beat somone with less, as evident in the yoda/sidious fight, but it definately is a factor.
2.??? Invariably eh? C'mon Glentract this debate like I said is getting tired.
3.Yes a powerful master was able to resist(Vodo), and some were not, but they were not in the same league of power. Its not known with absolute certainty how Yoda stacks up Vodo. I think Yoda is more powerful, you think Vodo is more powerful.
