Deadly serious. Years ago I posted Power DVD scans showing how Yoda had the absolute edge in saber combat. Then I posted the videos showing that every time Yoda expended Force power, Sids couldn't directly counter it. Hell, you can hear the whirling of the engines of the pods as Sids 'lifts' them, because he's just manipulating the controls. Meanwhile, Yoda can deadstop one and send it aloft. Sids can't even handle that; he leaps to the side.
And don't get me started on the DBZ power battle; Yoda ****ed Sids on that hard.
Watch the fight again.

Actually, if it came down to a war, Richard Nixon, as commander in chief of the most powerful military to that point in human history, would obviously crush Alexander. And so that's the point; Palpatine may have been a schemer, but he was nonetheless more powerful in combat despite his other gifts.

[QUOTE=15898817]when Sidious is a master of all seven forms of lightsaber combat
and defeated Yoda in combat.
You see my point. When it comes down to it the PT Jedi/Sith records in combat against each other are pitiful.
All of their supposed power and skill comes from training and sparring in secrecy/ a safe environment.
In the Great Hyperspace War or Exar Kun's time or Revan and Malak's time or TOR, Jedi vs Sith warfare is as common as breakfast. That's the only true way to test and evolve.

Filoni made it clear Palpatine was enjoying himself (as opposed to the circumstance-ridden duel Kenobi had with the brothers on Floruum where he made use of the environment to get them in each other's way and surprised them by attacking aggressively). On top of that, Filoni stated the brothers couldn't touch him:
Author commentary is fine when it supports Sidious.

Filoni just said in a TCW interview that Palpatine would kick everybody's ass, now Yoda would kick everybody's ass? We're finding more and more stuff to discredit author opinions, tbh. Filoni has a history of stupidity regardless.
Questionable when it doesn't.
Originally posted by Stealth MooseCrumbs, too bad innumerable sources reach the verdict that Sidious overpowered him. And that Yoda isn't Exar Kun.

As for your suggestion that Sheev can't manipulate senate pods without aid, lmao. 🙂
That isn't how it works. The authors don't think "hey, this is a 50% scenario, so we'll just write it down". If they want to show a fight that can go either way, they'll write a stalemate, if they make one of them win and it's for a non-external reason(i.e. its through their own skill, or physical capability) then that means said character is simply better.
