Not sure. Plagueis SHOULD have this but he might have allowed some of his other combative abilities to atrophy in favor of midichlorian manipulation. Though given Luceno's commentary on how a fight between Sidious and Plagueis would probably be a toss up that doesn't seem to be the case.
All in all probably Plagueis.

I take into account the fact that Plagueis was obsessed with this area of the Force to the point he didn't even bother sparring with his apprentice and logically apply this information which allows me to come to the conclusion that it's possible he may have neglected other areas of the Force as well in favor of studying and practicing the manipulation of midichlorians.
I then take into account external sources like author statements which indicate that even if the above deduction is the case it would not hamper him in a significant way. This makes sense to me as expressions of energy and telekinesis are based more off raw power rather then Force mastery?
Anything else friend? 🙂
Ziggy. I love the fact that you appreciate the importance of feats.
But we do have to look at scaling as well.
Plagueis was likely capable of matching Sidious going by author statements ( considering there are no contradicting sources I take this as valid ).
TPM Sidious is not far off from his RotS incarnation imo given the fact that he would not have been able to train, expand his knowledge or otherwise increase his power very much as Chancellor of the Republic. We know his RotS incarnation outmatched a being who was capable of manipulating CIS transports. Further establishing his power we have Sidious musing on being able to destroy the Imperial Palace not long after. The IP being an enormous superstructure capable of docking ISD's. I believe Sidious's musings to be accurate given he is more powerful then Yoda to an unknown degree and would have grown in power after RotS.
Now, granted Starkiller's feat is a better example of destructive expression in that momentary surge of power if we do the calcs. But I personally believe that a prolonged use of power such as Yoda's manipulation of CIS transports and Sidious's ability to dismantle the Imperial Palace is equivalent or at the very least approaching Starkiller's feat.

Well of course 'Killer would win if we play the strict "feats only" game. But to get a accurate measure of Hego's power, one must look at it through power-scaling, reasonable inference, holistic potrayals, and other shit like that
But good luck trying to convince people who are feat-only to care about accolades and other shit.
