Sidious has better feats than any other sith in the mythos. So why don't you present an argument for the other sith you see as his superiors? I would recommend constructing an argument mostly based on feats rather than accolades since Sidious also has accolades that put him in no.1 automatically. 👆

Bring me some feats and let's analyze them(I might be out for a period, but I'll respond as soon as I can)

Can't you understand, that the *new* Sith have surpassed Sidious in showings!?

Heck, when Sidious travelled to Korriban to hold his clone from dying because he couldn't stop the aging process(lol he couldn't), the ancient Sith practically mocked him in the face, and all he could do was to mumble, untill the old Sith felt pity and showed him how he's gonna die.

Force and Destiny doesn't make it so definitive anymore on that front. Not that I doubt he is the most powerful Sith Lord of all time but the tip toeing has become increasingly more noticeable.

Does it say something to put doubt on it?

Basically that he might be the most powerful ever, not with total certainty.

Hey, don't be discouraged. Valkorion is mentioned plenty of once in the book. 👆

The extent of the burning, charred is associated with the facade, and incineration with the total consumption to ashes....

One results in remains and the other in ashes......

Exactly... if husks (of flesh/skin) remained clearly they were not reduced to ashes i.e. incinerated 👆

Valkorion is irrelevant to a discussion regarding the supreme Sith, his prime incarnation has completely raised above that ideology, not only in practice but personality. Really, anyone claiming he is still Sith needs a serious bias check.

Personally, I don't think you can even call him

Spoiler:
Vitiate
anymore given the datamining shit I have heard about Chapter 10+.

Guess the Codex writers need a bias check. 😬

BTW... A guy whose handle is AncientPower and who spends his time trying to put "ancient" characters over their successors... Might not be the best person to lecture others on bias lol.

Valkorion may no longer identify with Sith teaching but as an "ancient Sith entity" who created a Sith Empire he is still part of Sith history.

Just in the same way Palpatine remains part of the history of the Rule of Two, despite eventually abandoning it in favour of his "Rule of One."

Beni slaughter-housing tbh 👆

A codex entry you've completely taken out of context is indeed an indication of your unending, unchanging bias yes. Even Valkorion's dialogue makes it crystal clear that even associating him with the Sith Empire anymore is retarded.

My username has nothing to do with Ancient Sith, paranoia got the better of you? Oh and I'm not Legend so that's kind of way off base. I respect the hype of the Ancient Sith, but not out of any kind of bias; I simply refuse to handwave evidence.

No, I simply take it out of your preferred context, which is the context you manufacture to suit your bias and isn't actually the real context.

And if simply saying you're not biased means you're not biased, then no one here is biased.

Him being historically relevant to the Sith has absolutely no bearing on the fact his latest incarnation has distanced himself entirely from the Sith Empire and the ideologies therein. He isn't Sith anymore, as Vader isn't a Jedi anymore. Your attempted denial of logic has no grounds to stand on given how order-exclusive statements are inherently exclusive to those within that order.

If it makes you feel any better, in a Sith exclusive world I certainly agree that Reborn Emperor Palpatine > Sith Emperor Vitiate. Immortal Emperor Valkorion just doesn't swim with those Baracuda.

Except for the fact that your entire basis for making Valkorion inclusive of the ring of Sith that Palpatine's statements pertain to, is solely a descriptory statement regarding the past of the character in question.

On the contrary to your stretched interpretation of that codex entry, is the fact that every character in KOTFE, including Valkorion, couldn't make it any clearer that he isn't connected with that Force using order anymore.

He was a Sith and ruled over all the other Sith in the galaxy for a millennium as the Emperor; he then decided that the entire ideology of that order was flawed and decided to found an institution far superior to his current one. He then turns on the Sith completely and undergoes a huge personality makeover to boot.

Is it bias on your part, to discredit literally all of that evidence to your contrary, by 'interpreting' a single codex entry to suit your own agenda? That's actually textbook bias, now that I think about it.

Really, this is a desperate stance on your part and is frankly beneath your baiting skills.

Yes, yes, we've been through all this before.

And yet is referred to in present tense, as a Sith entity, and whose recent rise to power was the product of Sith ritual. You grossly exaggerate how "distanced" Valkorion has become by comparing him to Anakin's transformation into Vader. His disconnect is purely ideological (and really only applicable to "archaic" Sith teaching), as it was with Palpatine - or Bane for that matter, but he retains many ties to the Sith nonetheless.
Your attempted denial of logic has no grounds to stand on given how order-exclusive statements are inherently exclusive to those within that order.
But it's not order exclusive is it? The statement refers to Sith history which:

No offense, but I couldn't care less about where you rank Sheev, though the idea that ROTJ Palpatine doesn't > Vitiate is at least entertaining.

The codex is written by an unseen, unknown random.
Valkorion himself says he isn't a Sith

Actual person> background info

Who the **** cares anyway? Argue feats, you heathens.

You mean by BioWare. It's an objective source bro. 😬
