Darth Sidious runs the gauntlet

All in their primes. Where Dooku fought yoda. Force powers only

1. Marka Ragnos
2. Freedom nadd
3. Naga Sadow
4. Darth Plaguis
5. Ullic Qel Droma
6. Darth Revan
7. Exar Kun
8. Darth Krayt
9. Darth Caedus
10. Emperor Vitiate

Assuming Dark Empire incarnation of Darth Sidious:

1 - 9 = Clear
10 = 50/50 chance

Otherwise, stops at 10.

This is a strangely ordered gauntlet and it's in the wrong section.
I'd say he clears though.

Loses before 1

Clears

Do not forget Vitiate's ability to consume any Force-user. He is very much like Darth Nihilus in this matter.

There's a difference between consuming many people and consuming any force user.

Vitiate consumed many Jedi and Sith on Ziost. This planet was among the major population centers of the Sith Empire, and Sith are stationed in such worlds. In addition, Republic forces and Jedi invaded this planet on the orders of Supreme Chancellor. Protags had no option but to evacuate Ziost to save their @sses when Vitiate warned them that he is about to consume all life on Ziost.

"When this world turns to red and you choke on torrents of blood, remember that this was your chance to flee. A chance I… gave…"

Did you play the latest expansion of SWTOR?

I don't believe Vitiates ability in that power will work on Sidious. If you mean when he took the force from Nathena he needed the help of thousands of sith and weeks of preparation.

That's impressive, it doesn't confirm he could do it to any force user ever though. He has never done that to an individual near as powerful as Sidious, or even Dooku.

Is that an extremely impressive feat in Vitiate's ballpark? Certainly.

Is it an indication of immense raw power? Certainly.

Does it prove he can do it to any Force user ever? No.

Why not?

Vitiate's most potent Force Drain power cannot be countered. This is the only reason behind "evacuation plot" in Rise of the Emperor expansion of SWTOR. It is the same power that was unleashed on planet Medriaas (i.e. Nathema), atomizing 8000 Sith Lords.

Count Dooku isn't better then protags such as Hero of Tython, Barsen'thor III, Emperor's Wrath and Darth Nox. Irrespective of the class hero, Ziost have to be evacuated when Vitiate issues a warning that he is about to destroy all life on the planet with his powers.

Whispered rumors have persisted of planets snuffed out through intricate Sith rituals or by way of deadly, arcane machines--such as the device Revan sought to employ on Yavin 4--but Ziost represents a clear display of the corrosive power of the dark side of the Force taken to its extreme.

Vitiate can't hope to win against the most powerful sith the Universe has ever known Darth Sidious.

He probably has a shot IMO, I'd just give Sidious a decisive majority.

Nihilus devours the force, life, and all connections to them. Only nihilus has this

Out of 10 battles I'd give Sidious 8/10 battles

At the least, you acknowledged the possibility of Vitiate's victory, so far so good.

Why not?

Darth Sidious isn't invincible. Also, mention of power doesn't makes much difference in this particular case. Vitiate holds his own in power against any foe.

And if we you consider Vitiate without a form then:

- No way to stop him in single combat.

Wrong Section, and he clears. ROTS Sidious is enough for this lot.

Whether he is invincible or not vitiate isn't the one taking him down unlike Luke skywalker. Sidious>Vitiate. Vitiate is powerful but Sidious is more powerful.

Glad to see you admit Sidious is more powerful.

Clears, need at least some sort of duo of Sith to be able to beat him for a majority.

Nonsense.

He wouldn't get past 9.

What?

This is not a sound argument. These two are so powerful that mentioning power as a decisive-factor becomes irrelevant.

The outcome would depend upon the form of the combatants and their powers. Vitiate can exist without a form and literally atomize opponents with his powers.
