When I skimmed the thread earlier I recalled you talking about potential, but it's completely unquantifiable. There's absolutely no basis for his growth being enough to surpass Nyriss (or the Exile) other than arbitrary whims.
I'd rather hear about his feats and accolades. So, again, what does he have there that puts him above Nyriss or the Exile?
Originally posted by NephthysYeah that's totally arbitrary lol.
Are you an idiot? The point is that at the time of Revan, both Nyriss and Revan state that Scourge has enormous potential. Given that he has 300 years of fighting powerful opponents, honing his prodigious talent, keeping the Dark Council in line and preparing to backstab Vitiate, obviously he'd be able to improve by an enormous amount simply on his own potential. Add to that his biochemical augmentations and an amp from Vitiate and I think its probably that he surpassed Nyriss.
Originally posted by PetrusShe didn't do better then Scourge, I've already had this argument.
You mean other than the fact that she was significantly hindered by DK, clearly physically exhausted and was still able to do better than Scourge, while being amped by a dark side nexus? Yeah, this was totally Meetra at her peak. 👆
It brings a lot of speculation into the fight.
IIRC, Meetra got brought to her knees, while Scourge was merely knocked off-balance for a second.
Also, Scourge is > Any Dark Council member of any era, as of SWTOR.
I doubt Valkorion will do anything if they piss Scourge off, I don't think he cares what is said about the Wrath.
I'm also pretty sure that its up to the wrath to defend himself.
I'm also pretty sure that they know there is a difference between the Wrath and the Voice.

Don't waste your time discussing KotOR II with Carthage, lol.
What exactly were you reading?
Scourge was the one she could stomp, he's also the one who concedes that she is too powerful.
Meetra was 'holding her ground' in a lightaaber duel but Nyriss overwhelmed her in physical strength, forcing Meetra to one knee. Nyriss' lightning bursts couldn't overwhelm Meetra's instinctive Force barrier either.
The only point that Nyriss was clearly a superior over Meetra was with a Force Lightning Storm she'd gathered for twenty seconds. Meanwhile Meetra wasn't even defending herself because she was recovering from handling her previous lightning burst.
All of which was on an extreme dark side nexus, to boot, after she'd come from Nathema which drives Force users like Vaylin insane, rendered Valkorion's spirit incapable of maintaining his presence and had the likes of the Outlander remarking that it was on another level than post-death Ziost. All of which was happening on a three centuries less potent version of the planet Meetra had to survive on.
