So seeing as no one can prove that all drains are the same as Nihilus unique force wound drain, does that mean logically Sidious has no counter to Nihilus?
To be honest Nihilus could likely kill most anyone in one versus one combat in the SW Mythos, his Unique force wound drain, unrivaled TK and lack of a physical body make him unstoppable.
However does that mean he is more "powerful" than sidious? No. The statement is not contradicted. Sidious was hailed as the most powerful due to the balance of his powers, intellect and cunning, Sidious was not the greatest in every field of expertise, or genre of power. Rather it was Sidious blend of expertise in a plethora of fields of expertise, and skill in multiple power sets that made him the most "powerful".
Furthermore Nihilus has shown to be extremely fast, as in his Drain is instantaneous and ongoing, it isn't just a one shot event it is a non stop field that is instant in its effect and continuous.
Furthermore what is Sidious going to do to Nihilus in melee? Nihilus is just empty armor, to destory him physicall sidious would have to literarly anihilate every atom of his armor, cloak, and mask.

You asking us that is the same as asking us to prove that Nihilus's drain is not the same as that of the Dark Reaper or other characters, which is equivalent to asking us to prove a negative. Proving a negative is impossible.
Instead, it's you that must prove to us that Nihilus's drain is different than that of others.
They all have the same exact effects, and according to the mechanics of Force Drain Resistance, it really wouldn't matter how they are drained, as the technique is based on the replenishing of energy as it is stripped. Unless you can prove that Nihilus's drain is an anomaly that this technique wouldn't work against, you've lost.
The Dark Reaper worked by harvesting the Force using the Force Harvester, a device that killed anything within range by draining its Force energy and focusing it into beams that dealt massive damage to any object. However, the Reaper could not harvest a wound in the Force.
Except for the uses of the energy it drains, it's power exactly replicates that of Nihilus's. And it has the same flaw, as well, it seems.
