Who brought up "auto victory via quotes"??

Are you still complaining about feat wars? lmao.

I did, as someone definitely would if a debate took place, which I don't have a problem with tbh. Just saying.

If this was supposed to be including the hype that comes out of these writers' flowery language, then barring specific quotes, I'm not sure who is portrayed as more powerful and epic.

There are... worse characters to have difficulty against. I wouldn't call this very much of a black mark.

Seeing as how he couldn't overpower Revan with uncharged lightning while on a dark side nexus, whereas Sidious could push Yoda's tutanimus to its limits on neutral territory, I think it's pretty damning. And there are plenty of quotes that suggest Yoda > any previous Jedi (which would include Revan).

Trocity Undefeated and Undisputed

Not even suggest, they outright state he is the greatest Jedi ever till that point in time.

AncientPower The Chosen One

Alternatively, there are quotes claiming Yoda was Sidious' equal in the Force.

There's more proclaiming Sidious as the more powerful one, especially in Canon.

AncientPower The Chosen One

True but even the novel alludes to the idea that Yoda could dance with him all day, he just wasn't capable of beating him. Stalemate in other words.

SunRazer Back From The Dead

The novel has Sidious winning.

Azronger Azronger Reborn

So if this is just Sidious up to RotS with all sources allowed, he stomps.

Who the **** voted for Vitate 😆

Yeah, the novel states that Yoda "just didn't have it" and that against Sidious' lightning he reached the limits of his strength.

I thought this would be a more contentious match considering the parallels. And both Karpyshyn and Stover are known for wankery.

The difference being that Stover doesn't have to sacrifice continuity and characterization to do it 🙂
