If RotJ Sidious is a 100 and RotJ Vader is a 80, where would you place the following force users:
1) Yoda
2)Vitiate
3)RotS Anakin
4)Dooku
5)DD Vos
6)Exar Kun
7)Obi wan Kenobi

I'm just curious to see the gap you have between these guys

S_W_LeGenD
Valkorion = 150
Yoda = 90
Exar Kun = 85
Anakin Skywalker (Episode III) = 60
Count Dooku = 45
Quinlan Vos = 45
Obi-Wan Kenobi = 40

Nephthys
In what terms? I'mma guess power.

But if this suggests that when measuring strength in the force, numbers function differently, then an increase from 80 to 100 is massive and people should number the others accordingly.

I would suggest ignoring the 80/100 relation between Vader and Sidious to make this thread more interesting.

Yoda is 110.

Windu shouldn't be missed out as he's likely in the 90-95 region.

Well obviously not because that person would get blitz. Give Vader that extra formidability/power though and Sidious would be in trouble. Serious trouble.


But I agree with you to ignore the 100/80 thing. Because I would actually argue Vader is closer to Sidious than that stick out tongue

Sidious managed to "take out" Galen with a burst of lightning in a non-canon scene, by bypassing his guard, evidently something he couldn't do if (and when) Marek blocked his lightning with tutanimis.Originally posted by FreshestSlice

False equivalency. Vitiate has plenty that show he's comparable with Sidious, and several things that indicate he's better in some area's. Vader hasn't shown jack to put him on Sidious' level.

In LotS, Sidious and Vader battle a Lylek Queen. A creature quick enough to tag even Sidious yet Vader is able to keep up with it. And since when does a canon source need support? We use sources to support our arguments not the other way around.

Sidious was holding back though, as Vader himself admitted.

ares834
I believe they said he "showed little of his true power" which would imply he did show his "true power" a small bit.

Using your logic one could argue that the events of the movies aren't facts, since they are just the opinions of a writer/director about what they think would happen.

disney cannon> quan doesn't like it so it doesn't count Just as the official handbooks of marvel which iirc classify Odin's strength as class 75 despite his showings as vastly superior to guys like Thor and the Hulk who are class 100's in strength.

The movies are indeed facts as they have occurred and the events thereby continued within are history. What isn't history is some vague skill wise top ten.

Just as in marvels canonized sourcebooks do not outweigh the actual comics aka the evidence. Disney canon are the films, live action series, comics, but the opinions of those who tell the stories or release the books are just those peoples opinions unless they cover a story they told.

i believe it is u who does not understand. as it stands now, who would win a second matchup between the two is an opinion. However if disney were to publish, in a cannon sourcebook that the two had somehow fought again and declared a winner then it would become a cannon fact.

I view it as, you need to reach a certain threshhold before one can contribute, and contributing isn't quite additive.

Like, a 5 or a 20 would both contribute only slightly differentto a high level fight- maybe +1 and +3, mostly as a brief distraction. Or to put it another way, if 20 represented a normal Jedi Knight, you'd want 6 or so to help Vader beat Sidious.

A 70 might add +20 to an 80. That's when you start getting real 2 v 1 advantage, as neither is at the point where they'd go down fast.

Though things like personal compatibility and how well styles mesh would matter...

Canon video game backs my take on Vader; he's slow.

The Dark Lord of the Sith may be slow, but he destroys his foes with powerful saber swings and his dreaded force choke.

That was him too. It was Best 10 Jedi (which is of course subjective). But to be fair in that one he didn't use the ranking, he was using the description.

OP asked for specific people, oops. Here:

1)Yoda - 95
2)Vitiate - 105
3)RotS Anakin - 75/80
4)Dooku - 70
5)DD Vos - 65/70
6)Exar Kun - 80
7)Obi wan Kenobi - 65/70

Edited my original list a little bit for those who saw it originally.

Syndicate
Why are Vos and Kenobi on the same level when Vos has ragdolled Ventress?

DarthAnt66
TBH for my lists I'm including both Force power / lightsaber ability / everything combat applicable. Not just raw power.

That being said, Kenobi's deflecting TK attacks from an extremely angered and unrestrained Skywalker in the ROTS novel.

Plus, following his death, he's constantly referenced back to Luke and compared alongside Yoda as the end-all, be-all powerful Jedi.

Ah gotcha.

A hindered Anakin you mean? :P

Not impressive considering the only two Jedi Luke met were Obi Wan and Yoda.

DarthAnt66
I don't consider Skywalker that hindered during the battle, TBH.

True, but he met guys like Kyp Durron (extremely powerful) and said he hadn't felt power like that since Kenobi (or something like that).

Mmmm. Fair enough.

Eh still an accolade something I don't put much stock in.

The Mouth of God (Dave Filoni) also states Luke is firmly below the level of a Council Master. And, we saw how Sidious treats council masters

Darth Thor
^ Pretty sure the Mouth of God he was referring to was a source book.

Filoni can only be attributed that title when talking about his work.

This is the best one I've seen so far. I would say Vitiate is around the agora level at around 90 as well,but with his new feats he most likely is higher. Vos I would put below Kun due to lower force powers. Kun above Dooku as well in force power as well.

Most likely the list I would have put. Only issue is vitiate is 105. Also say that Anakin is 75 solid while Vader is 80.

Sinious
No one's comparable to Sidious dudes

Not seeing the problem.

Vitate thing I'm now fine with, but Vader is more powerful and skilled then Anakin so I just sperated them in that way IMO. No big deal.

I doubt it.

Syndicate
Vader is more powerful ( not counting feats where Anakin was amped by force rage or had to concentrate I.E. collapsing a dome, manipulating a dreadnought ) but more skilled is debatable.

One aspect of fighting that doesn't determine the overall verdict. No I don't agree with your claim. Vader defintlly more powerful and entirely possible he's more skilled than Anakin, but everyone has their own opinions on that score.

I just said the suit makes him a lot slower.

His power in the force is greater so he can augment his speed greater which he has actually done in canon.

From the statement I made, I'm not seeing how ignore canon. Lords of the Sith is a canon novel is it not? It says he augmented his speed to run faster than the emperor, while the emperor was holding back, the fact he moved that fast shows speed you ignore.

Yoda isn't more powerful than RotJ Sidious, lmfao.

We don't see him move faster than Luke in battle so in direct comparison we see who is the faster of the two. We also don't know how fast Sidious or Vader are moving.

Desperation. We know when they move they move pretty much at superhuman speeds so it's common sense.
