Nah, a lot of PT people are called among the best of their time. Of all time, there's not too many. PT era has some unreliable hype at times though, definitely.

Neither is Wyellett. He's the end boss of an entire planet-chain. Hell, he's practically the last boss of Act II. TOR hypes up it's council tiers/high level combatants just as much as the PT does, it just doesn't have 3 tv shows, 10 games, 500 books and dozens of ancillary sources to spread it all out over. The characters are wildly more limited.

Also lol at complaining about TOR wank against freaking Vader of all people. :I

When a no name comes out and does something before promptly being killed, they're random as can be.

Is name a criteria to determine a character's power?

Leeha Narezz and Warren Sedoru are officially identified as one of the strongest and most resolute Jedi. Yet they have no credibility among fans for a hypothetical versus scenario.

Names make no difference. People will makeup their mind one way or other.

Aryn is still powerful enough to not get dominated, but Tol Braga might (he had a nice TK feat before he fought HoT, though). Vader plays telekinetic footy with Wyellett.

Wyellett wasn't who I had in mind - more along the lines of Usma-type characters.

Also, Vader deserves hype. He's one of the most powerful and renowned characters of all time. That's like saying Vitiate doesn't deserve hype. Or Malgus.

Usma was called a celebrated swordsman.

Oh no, the hypes. 😐

He was called one of the Order's finest, just for the sake of hyping up Praven so that the HoT's victory feels more worthwhile. lol

I understand why they do it (since they don't appear in any other source), but sometimes they go overboard with it.

So official standing of Usma, Praven and HoT shall be dismissed and/or overlooked?

Well how else should they establish that Praven's a credible threat? "He's a good swordsman, fo realz?" This kind of thing happens to everyone, the PT just has more space to build up for the wank.

Yeah, clearly Usma was just a step too far. A famous swordsman! When will the madness end!?

Nah, he's just an example. He's not the only one, and I'm not going to go off-topic listing them.

Also, Praven already defeated Bela Kiwiiks.

SWTOR officially promotes Lord Praven as one of the finest warriors of the Empire. Note that he is a Lord.

I thought it was said that Darths are the big players in the Empire, not Lords? Although technically, since they're so many people in the Empire, just being a Lord puts you in the upper echelons already.

So what exactly is your point? That a TOR-era character 'cannot' be in the league of extraordinarily powerful and competent Force-users such as Master Yoda and Mace Windu?

lmfao If that's what you interpret it to be, then sure.

I was just commenting on the way TOR hypes its characters.

For the record, though, who do you envision to be the TOR equivalent of Yoda and Mace?

Orgus Din.

So how are Palpatine, Yoda, Count Dooku, Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker and Mother Talzin hyped at official capacity? They are hyped in the same manner as TOR era characters; in documented records.

Hero of Tython, Revan and Barsen'thor III. Though Master Wyellett is also officially promoted as among the greatest legends of the Jedi Order.

Barsen'thor on par with Yoda? lol

Stopping some of the greatest threats to the Jedi Order such as Lord Vivicar and First Son are supposed to be lolworthy accomplishments?

Both Barsen'thor III and Hero of Tython saved the Jedi Order from extinction with their exploits.

I foresee an upcoming Yoda vs Barsen'thor thread.

EDIT: I was right!

A powerful Force-user should be capable of performing these actions. None of these showings are extraordinary in the grand scheme of things. Darth Vader just happens to be well-explored in the context of feats and events in both Legends and Canon content of the lore, and some fans mistakenly assume that only few can perform these actions.

If a powerful Jedi faces a military vehicle in a battle, I would vouch for the Jedi on the basis of common sense. While a military vehicle might be capable of killing the Jedi with its firepower, the Jedi is still more likely to destroy it.

Darth Malgus haven't been depicted collapsing buildings with his Force powers but he defeated/killed a powerful Jedi in a confrontation who have such showings. If these two haven't officially clashed, many fans would have given the nod to the mysterious Jedi in a hypothetical versus scenario.

Each member of the referred Strike Team is a powerhouse:

Aryn Leener (simultaneously) lifted 6 'cars' of a Tram and hurled them like missiles towards the positions of some enemies with her telekinetic abilities in a confrontation. You understand what a Tram is, right? I assume that she can knock down or destroy an AT-AT.

Tol Braga have also been depicted ripping apart and hurling heavy objects like missiles towards a target with his telekinetic abilities. In-fact, he is officially recognized as one of the most powerful and resolute Jedi. Therefore, his official standing creates room for imagination about what else he is capable of.

Master Wyellet is also a Force-user of such a caliber who would inspire legends in years to come. He proved his mettle in combat time and again, and was the sole survivor of destruction of an Imperial Starship:

The Imperial starship that was transporting Wyellett was destroyed in the Battle of Hoth, and Master Wyellett has been believed dead all these years. In fact, Wyellett has been in a trance beneath the rubble of the fallen ship, psychically trying to reach out to his former pupil. Now, Wyellett has transcended the concerns of this galaxy and his powers are more realized than ever before. (From Star Wars: The Old Republic)

Honestly, it takes a Jedi of legendary repute and Force abilities to survive in these kind of life-threatening situations.

---

I am being realistic. Vader's chances of handling these 3 powerhouses simultaneously are slim to none even under right circumstances.

Man, first I want to say this thread got heavily derailed. Anyways my friend, I believe you are heavily underestimating vehicle weaponry in SW. There's a difference between making random buildings collapse and destroying an AT-AT in the process. AT-ATs' in Legends canon can survive even Orbital Bombardments from capital ships, turbolasers with the power to vaporize asteroids and rival the power of atomic bombs.

Even the films show AT-AT's tanking Blaster bolts from the Hoth Speeders, which fire much more powerful bolts than those of Han Solos' gun, which has shown capable of vaporizing Rock and Steel. Were these any specific buildings by any chance? Any dimensions given?

Tram cars, just like the buildings, are not in any way comparable to an AT-AT. Vader also with a simple force push bursted Lyleks who themselves are on par with military vehicles, a horde of them require an entire Cities defenses to defeat one. I do not know Ryloth's defensive systems, but if they involve things like anti-ship weaponry then Lyleks must be extremely durable if it requires those levels of firepower.

Vader also in a weakened state brought down a cathedral in Legends canon, and apparently brought down a Palace in the new canon? I dunno, heard something like that. He also tanked the explosion of a bomb at point blank range and crushed building sized Droids. I don't see how the three Jedi masters are near those levels except Wylett, who has impressive defensive capabilities.

Tol might also be a problem since he throws objects at "missile speeds" which is Supersonic if taken literal. How heavy are the objects he throws?
