Who do you think is the most wanked character on KMC?

Its very easy for me to insult and engage in unethical practices to teach lessons to those who tend to do the same with the others, can even consider cyber offensive strategies. However, I am being respectful to fellow members because of maturity factor. Unfortunately, I see lot of immaturity in fans of Star Wars. People should have tolerance for views of others and avoid singling each other out for debating preferences.

I admit of not being entirely free of bias but nobody is. I brought balance in debates by promoting TOR era characters because holistically G-canon and/or PT/OT/Legacy era characters are relatively more well-known, have larger fanbase, and are more likely to be promoted in "versus" and "comparative" topics. I admit that I have my share of extremes in debates but they are not without reason and evidences.

Nonetheless, fans of Star Wars lore should really avoid labeling each other biased because most are guilty of this. The sheer irony of this is baffling.

I see wisdom in this. 😛

Anakin's status as a top tier combatant is actually pretty new; back in 2007, most would consider him and Kenobi together to be unable to take down Bane or Exar.

That's because TCW began in 2008.

No longer does Anakin have to be "in the zone" or have help from Obi-Wan to compete with Count Dooku.

^it's also a more general downgrading of pre-PT characters relative to those post Phantom Menace. And this is across the internet.

The level of self righteousness and arrogance here aside, people are way too quick to fall for vague accolades of power (we all kid about "the heart of the force" Revan and "the most powerful of the most powerful" Ragnos) and the nostalgic need to elevate ancient characters over modern ones. Perhaps some to overboard in the other direction, but that is a reaction rather than a default bias, IMO.

I'm going to have to agree with this.

People take accolades way too seriously, they are Meaningless. No one gives a flying **** if your character has been called Supremely powerful, or immensely powerful, or even "the most powerful".

What matters is feats, and people spend way too much time digging up encyclopaedic quotes that have no bearing.

Though of course, the usual double standards is an issue, as well as people thinking that violent displays of power = power....

Nah, I care. It just downgrades everyone else in the era. That's a win-win.

I personally don't view accolades as completely meaningless and useless, but I think that they are just 1/4 of the cake and shouldn't be valued anything more than that, unless of course they are very specific and not contradicted by facts.

Accolades pave way for creative liberties and are important for characters who haven't been creatively explored much.

Which has absolutely no bearing on debate.

I'm glad you agree 👆

Nihilus is my answer. 😠

And accolades are extremely important. They provide the base that feats can be built upon.

Vitshit, Revan and the B-Team

So being called "the most powerful Sith in History is anywhere near as important as Sidious' force storm?

"More powerful at age 5 than I was at 14" is the same as single handedly slaying lord Vivicar? Nowhere near.

Well, if it weren't for accolades feats wouldn't have much face value.

Ven Zallow was all but featless, but Malgus defeating him was still impressive because he has the accolade of being one of the most famous and powerful duelists in the Order.

Likewise, Ven Zallow blitzing Sith Warriors in the Sacking of Coruscant was impressive because those Sith had the accolade of being some of the best the Empire had to offer.

The same goes for most of the high ups if the mythos, accolades build the foundations for feats. It's also a core reason why the Legacy era is so much more difficult to scale. Because there are very few accolades to the names of masters like Wolf Sazen, and nor did the nameless One Sith he defeated have anything to distinguish themselves from fodder.

I suppose it's more tied to dueling than force use though.
