I have the guy just beneath Yoda.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Or just above Yoda. smile

NewGuy01
So how would he fare, say, against Sarasu Taalon or Darth Caedus?

Emperordmb
Post Pool Taalon>>Plagueis>Caedus>Pre Pool Taalon

NewGuy01
Off-topic, can anyone post the fight between Sarasu, Abeloth, and Luke for me?

Emperordmb
Maybe when I get home if nobody beats me to it.

hutchy1345
On par with yoda in the force but below him in sabers
Probs second most powerful sith behind sidious

Nephthys
Nihilus > Plagueis.

Darth Abonis
Plaugeis can outthink his enemies; that's what makes him so dangerous

FreshestSlice
Below Vader. estahuh

Trocity
Vader is more powerful, yeah.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Plagueis is stronger than Vader, Kun, Caedus, and maybe Krayt tbh.

FreshestSlice
Nope tbh.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Stop low balling Sidious's master. smile

FreshestSlice
If being bellow Vader is lowballing then pretty much the entire mythos is shit.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
No. Plagueis being below Vader is what's shit. smile

Fated Xtasy
Below Vader above Dooku.

Plagueis is certainly strong but Yoda and Sheev are by virtue of several sources and books, stronger.

That's just talking raw force power, technical ability,etc.
The guy is overrated as a duelist if I'm honest.

No, your opinion is what's shit.

Why don't you make like Plagueis and suffocate?

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Why don't you make like Valkorion and disappear?

>implying Valkorion would ever actually leave

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
You're right. I suppose I'll never be rid of you unless I kill you. smile

You would not be the first to try, but you could be the first to succeed.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
I have the weapon. The will of the force is mine to command. Your niggatry will not be enough to stop me. smile

Pretty powerful tbh. It's implied that his presence caused storms all across Naboo.

I've moved beyond shitty one off weapons with 205 stats, that you can't mod because BioWare hates you.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Is the weapon really that bad?

More powerful than eryone barring Sidious, Yoda, Luke, Valkorion maybe, entities and other fagguts

Yep, you can change the color crystal, that's it. It also has buffs, but only against Arcann. Might as well just use my 224.

Das nice, codex calls him a Sith

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Actual events that contradict an codex > an codex

JKBart
More powerful than anybody sans (chronological order):
- Valkorion/Vitiate,
- Revan,
- Darth Malgus,
- Arcann (possibly),
- Yoda,
- Palpatine,
- Luke Skywalker.

Don't see how Plagueis could possibly be considered beneath Vader, when Luceno himself stated that Plagueis could have defeated TPM Palpatine in a lightsaber duel, and by the end of the novel he'd become practically an immortal being.

On the other hand, I wouldn't put him above Yoda. Palpatine is suggested to have become stronger than his master by the death of the latter, yet 10 years later Yoda was able to all but stalemate him. Against Plagueis he'd have certainly succeeded.

S_W_LeGenD
On par with Revan, IMO.

Originally posted by ILS

He is described as an ancient Sith entity only to make the readers recognize him as the former Sith Emperor. However, the same codex entry then reveals that Valkorion perceived Sith teachings to be archaic and embraced a new philosophy to bolster his power.

Valkorion is not a Sith. Full stop.

Agreed except revan
Why do you hold him so so highly

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Why do you think Malgus and Arcann are superior to Revan lmfao

Canon Vader, you fool. We don't talk about the Legends nonsense. Not that it matters, because unless RotJ Palpatine didn't grow at all in over three decades, it's a moot point.

Yes
Revan is definitely overrated

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
No, I was asking if you have any evidence supporting the idea that Arcann and Malgus are indeed superior to Revan.

No, Revan is immensely powerful. This time, we have quantifiable showings to prove his greatness.

JKBart

Revan was capable of ragdolling Darth Marr, Satele Shan, Lana Beniko, and 3 other people all at once, at the same time, mid-combat. Not even Yoda demonstrated something of that magnitude (Palpatine and Luke did though).

And now remember he done that multiple times, granted, that stuff was interrupted by the protag, but it's no surprise he couldn't fight the protag while ragdolling 6 people at once, 2 insanely powerful included.

Marr, overall, was stated to be superior to Deceived Malgus; obviously it's just "overall", so we can't say he was as powerful as Malgus, but somewhere in that tier. And Satele? Easily superior feats to the likes of Dooku, Xesh, Sadow, Cade Skywalker, Shaak Ti and guys like that. Even Lana Beniko was around Asajj/Obi-Wan level in the Force. And Revan could still ragdoll all of them at once, repeatedly, even though it obviously taxed him to the maximum, since he couldn't do anything against the HoT/Nox/Wrath/Thor at that time. Even then, it's immensely impressive.

Then take into account that "SOR" Revan was damaged, half his mind separated, already dead, destroyed, ravaged. He was no way near his prime.

Luceno: If it had come to a duel, I think Plagueis may have found a way to undermine his apprentice.

Look ILS. I love Maul. But it's gotten to a ridiculous point. Next thing you know you're going to try to say Maul is on Plagueis's level. Hell you're already working up to it by trying to bring him up to Vader who is compared to Plaguies in some areas.

Give me some of those amazing feats by TPM Sidious, and you'll find out.

Also, Vader being on-par with Plagueis is cancer.

Right, because Vader is obviously superior.

He is 50 years old Sidious level and second strongest sith in RoT after Sidious. His knowledge of the force + his feats of power, speed, and durability also impress me quite a bit. Not to mention what he did to Naboo with his mere presence before his prime.

I'd say he is the 3rd most powerful Sith right after Vitiate (pre-Zakuul) and before Caedus.

Please stop attempting to twist my words. I said that people compare Vader to Plagueis in some aspect such as the Force.

You're trying to say Maul is equal or superior to Dooku who's generally seen as a peer to Vader.

Pretty much, yeah. He's not as powerful as Dooku is though, but power isn't the only thing that factors into a fight; and Maul is close enough to him that his other virtues (like his much higher willpower and pain tolerance) may be able to bridge the gap if they ever come to blows. It honestly depends.

You're trying to say Maul is equal or superior to Dooku who's generally seen as a peer to Vader. That's because it's Vader wanking season and nobody has ever had the attention span/desire to really look at Plagueis as a character to find out why he's meant to be so powerful.

Dude, "generally seen as" doesn't mean dick. Your stance on what is ridiculous and what is "general", what is full of shit and what is "supported", is just that; yours. Example: you come out with the most awful, retarded shit on a daily basis but I can't claim that awful, retarded shit is awful and retarded for everybody. Maybe a few people, or a lot, but not everyone. Much in the same way, you continue to prance around giving characters set placements in the power hierarchy based on personal whim or what you perceive to be the "general" viewpoint. At least don't be so misguided as to think what you're saying isn't to go without contention.

Ahsoka is now one of the best duelists in Canon.

On par with or slightly above Talzin.

Plagueis said Maul's speed is "astonishing".

Maul is faster than Plagueis. Deal with it.

Doesnt' mea faster tho

Common sense says Vader better than anything Plagueis ever did. Don't just rely on a shit opinion.

Col. Valerian
Common sense says quite the opposite, actually. You really think Vader > TPM Sids...?

FreshestSlice
What's so great about TPM Sidious again? No one ever wants to show how great he his, but just claim it right out the gate.

Col. Valerian
Well, TPM Sidious at least >>> TPM Maul in terms of skills, and I think it is pretty obvious that by TPM, Sidious is already very powerful with the Force.

FreshestSlice
TCW Sidious isn't even >>>TCW Maul in terms of skill, who has to my knowledge nothing that would make him more skilled in the two decades or so that he's been a cripple, so somehow I doubt Sidious is that far above Maul in TPM. And I think it's pretty obvious you should support your opinion with more than itself.

Col. Valerian
Have you read Darth Plagueis? If so, you should know what I'm talking about Forcewise. And as his final test, Sidious unleashed Maul's anger and made him attack him, and Sidious dominates him with little difficulty. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. If that's honestly not at least >> Maul, I don't know what is in your book, also considering the dominance Sids displayed over Maul and Savage simultaneously.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
There's no way in hell Vader > TPM Sidious, tbh. smile

FreshestSlice
Because Sidious is far more powerful than Maul in that confrontation? Do you not get how lightsaber duels work?

Col. Valerian
Yeah? That's my point?

Why do you ask what's so great about TPM Sidious if you apparently already know his feats? Are you not impressed at all or..?

FreshestSlice
Because Vader's more powerful than Maul, so that point doesn't really stand on its own. It's like arguing Valkorion is more powerful than Sidious because he stomped Arcann, as some people on this forum do often, when Sidious is already comparatively more powerful. It's a stupid argument.

Col. Valerian
I don't think it's always stupid, but fine.

Then, would you say Vader would dominate Maul with the ease TPM Sidious did?

FreshestSlice
TPM Maul? Sure. Just as easily as Maul dominated Savage. Realized power makes a lot of difference.

ILS
lol

FreshestSlice
Maul is terrible, ILS. He's a plot device now.

Sinious
You're terrible, Freshest. You and your opinions.

FreshestSlice
You're the absolute worst member of this forum. You and your Sheev worship, and two-faceness.

Sinious
What form of a Sheev fan would I be if I weren't two-faced? smile

FreshestSlice
Right, you were a ***** from birth. uhuh

I'm not basing this off of my opinion or at least I try not to. From what I've seen people generally place Dooku around Vader's level. Can you stop being such a dic ILS?
