about the force knowledge, sidious is said to have mastered EVERY dark side technique, and create new ones as he pleases. while there may be some hyperbole, that doesnt take away the fact that sidious very well may have known almost every dark side power, plus he studied the lightside, something i don't think vitiate has.

Nah, I still doubt that. 1400 years is a hell of a long time.
It is.
And were Vitiate's powers proportionate to that level of time and effort, I'd see your point.
But as you conceded recently, Vitiate (w/ 1400 years under his belt) is ultimately less impressive than a guy with about 80.
Palpatine made an exhaustive, concerted effort to study the Force in all its guises across the galaxy per The Dark Empire Sourcebook. Until Vitiate is confirmed explicitly to have done the same, Palpatine's still the top dog.

So far, maybe.
You're so cute when you try to backpedal. Don't worry, I can quote you your recent post if you like!
Accept it. The character is inherently shitty from top to bottom and in spite of guzzling down the spiritual semen of 8 thousand Sith Lords and studying the dark side for 14 centuries... he's still second best.

He probably is.
If only for the fact that he's so hilariously modeled after Numero Uno. Even Palpatine-lite is still Palpatine.
But his showings are fairly embarrassing for a guy with that much clout. And I'd forgive that if he were, like Palpatine, an iconic villain featured in a vast array of sources wherein the probability of low showings were high.
As it stands, Vitiate has been featured in 2-3 and is cringeworthy.

If it wasn't for the lack of lightsaber feats I'd trump him as being above Sidious.
