Darth Revan vs. Sidious at peak

Yeah. The whole "zOMG I'll murder my master when the first opportunity arrises!" actually weakens the Sith line. It'd be the equivalent of lieutenants butchering generals when they sleep just so they can become generals in turn. Not exactly a great idea for keeping a line strong.

You're right, that's the biggest pitfall of Bane's line. Without outside influence, the apprentice will kill the master at first opportunity so they could become the master.

At least with the Ancient Sith Empire, it was expected you challenge them to a duel, and any sneaking around would have to be smart enough to get past the noses of hundreds of other sith.

Exactly. Not to mention the Sith lived for centuries.

This would be a good match but I believe Revan would take it simply because he was the best of the best during the time when the Jedi were at their peak and at war. Sidious was second to Mace Windu and Yoda in regards to light saber combat, and possibly second to only Yoda in force powers.. Don't get me wrong he was a genius but this is a versus forum and Sidious would get eaten alive by Revan.

And you're wrong. DE Sidious (which is Sidious at his peak) would curbstomp Revan. Revan really isn't that impressive when taken into context with Force users of other times.

Revan isn't impressive with the force users of that time? Revan at that time is the best of the best. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a stalemate but in no way do I think DE Sidious would curbstomp Revan.

Best of the best? Not at all. In fact, there's no canonical evidence that Revan is the best of his time, only that he was very powerful.

There is no evidence that doesn't support that he isn't the best.. In fact in the LS ending it's pretty obvious that he is the best of his era

LOL!

Yes, there's no evidence to support a negative conclusion. Sure.

Here's a tip: You have to prove the positive. Ergo, until you give us canonical proof that Revan is the best Force user of his time, he isn't.

Man I didn't know people were this devoted to star wars versus thread.. I must say I wasn't prepared, but I'll give you an argument..

You weren't prepared, but you posted anyway? Alright...
