Novel!Vitiate vs Novel!Sidious

Sidious as depicted in the ROTS novel versus Vitiate as depicted in the Revan novel. All out fight, Geonosian hangar.

LMFAO.
Sidious comes close to ragdolling.

Novel!Sidious spread his dark side influence across the entire galaxy, left Windu choking on ozone, sent Yoda packing and Vader couldn't touch him. Novel!Vitiate got put on his ass by Revan. Viti gets curbed. 🙂

Yeah, ngl I forgot about Vader literally being unable to touch Sidious with the Force. 😬

Palpatine is the strongest non-entity Darksider.

Any good arguments to be made in defense of Vitiate?

The best argument imo would be, Valk>>Sidious(lmao) and that the gap between Novel Vitate and Valk isn't that large.

That may be the best argument, but it's certainly not a good argument lol.

Yeah. Imfavor RotS Sids over Valk, so, Novel Vitate is ****ed, imo.

Sheev.

Sidious after his fight with Yoda or...

Solely from his depiction in the novel, or can other feats be included as well?

Sheev Palpatine takes this fight.

Sidious closer to the end of the Plagueis novel would win this lmfao.

Stover exaggerates characters' abilities much more then Karpyshyn.
Stover's!Sidious stomps Karpyshyn's!Vitiate. It's like compering CW!Mace to movies!Yoda in TK battle...

ROTS is overkill. I thought this would be the Plagueis novel as that would have been more interesting.

Definitely looks that way per the poll. But Sidious in Darth Plagueis really only has like, what? One fight scene in that entire book? Which is less a fight scene than it is the indiscriminate slaughter of Mooks and other fodder?

I thought Plagueis' feats could be used to gauge where Sidious stands. It's still lame but better than ROTS Sheev's auto-victory via quotes.

Indeed.
