Yeah, I genuinely can't see anyone short of Luke or Palpatine pulling off that black hole feat. Kyp intentionally holds himself back but other than that I don't see any reason to rank him as low as most people here do. I mean, Luke holds himself back to a ridiculous extent quote often but most rank him at #1 or #2 overall most powerful Force user regardless.

Kyp isn't the first or second most powerful Jedi in the NJO, and Corran's dueling prowess means nothing in this fight. Team 2 wins.
I didn't catch that this was force only, so I give you the dueling point.
I said he is arguably the most powerful jedi, and that is very true. In raw power it's likely only Luke surpasses him. Caedus probably surpassed him in force power too, but Jacen didn't; Caedus isn't a jedi though. Jaina did not become more powerful in the force than Kyp, though Anakin Solo would likely have, had he not died so young.
It would be interesting to see Corran redirect Vader's force lightening back at them.
Vader doesn't really use Force Lightning, so it's a moot point.

I can understood not being first, but not even second? Besides Jacen, who shouldn't really count, I struggle to think of anybody who compares.
Luke and Jacen are the top two, yeah. Kyp is probably third if you're talking about force power specifically, but overall he's behind at least Jaina too.

Touche.

Luke > Caedus > Kyp > Jacen.
Kyp is #2 jedi in NJO, as far as force power goes.
...Nah. From Dark Nest onward, it's not-so-subtly suggested Jacen's in his own league, something that hasn't even been hinted about Kyp since his academy days. I think Ant mentioned it being stated in early LOTF that Jacen and Luke were the top two in the Order, but seeing how his respect thread is two years late and counting, I can't say for sure.
