No the ability of some random side character footnote in history who has only fought their era's legendary combatants at a stage extremely far from their peak to match someone who has performed very well against one of their era's greatest combatants is ridiculous and unsupported by any evidence.
Generally Id agree PT wank can get ridiculous sometimes but that happens when they act like random footnotes in the PT era beat the greatest combatants of other eras, when they're arguing the other way around (i.e. one of the PT's greatest beats another era's footnote) it's quite reasonable.
So no, it's not PT wank, it's the fact that Sylvar is not, from any evidence that exists, remotely comparable to Ahsoka as a combatant.
Except the argument relies upon the idea that Tano did anything but get pressed off a ledge in a fighting retreat and then cheap-shotting Vader.
Tano wins, because she's far more well-rounded, but the idea Sylvar gets shit on because Tano lost in a confrontation with the mighty Vader is plain ridiculous.

@DMB, When did someone seriously argue a PT random could beat Kun/Revan/Valk/etc?
I remember back before SOR when S66 and Ant debating Ventress vs Revan was a thing, Fisto vs Bane was a thing I remember having to deal with for a few pages, Agen Kolar vs Darth Bane was a debate I was in at one point (not to preach too much about Bane hate, but I had to mention this because it was probably the funniest debate and biggest curbstomp of my life), and I used to see quite a few people argue characters beneath Dooku could take Vitiate (Some of them are not really random footnotes, but given how high Vitiate is and how relatively low they are is in their eras it's basically the same thing)
I also originally came from a forum where a character had to be combatively affiliated with a PT character to be considered even remotely impressive as a duelist because the only way they thought a character could get worthy dueling scaling was from getting scaling from Yoda, Sidious, and Luke, due to their "bestest eva" status, which extended to their entire era but not to any era unrelated to them. Like shit like Savage Opress cracking the top ten Sith list on that forum wasn't attacked as unreasonable.
