And if you say "Ragnos has no feats to his name, how the hell can you say he's the strongest," then I'll refer you to Nai, who will inform you on the error of your ways.
You need neither feat nor accolade to be the most powerful Sith Lord or the best anything.
What you need to be is someone other than Sidious.
For sure ! Dooku could already beat DE Sidious because he has like Count in his name and he has a curved lightsaber and such. AND, Anakin beat him, so that means Anakin is like 255818 times stronger than that old Sidi rag. Then there is Mace who has already beaten Sidious, and it was not because of his shatterpoint, but because of his other natural skills. Now you may say that Sidious has improved a lot and he got like überz more powerful since ROTS, but then I say, f*ck you.
On a totally unrelated note, Sidious has a decent chance of winning using the Force, but has a decent chance of losing using lightsabers.

Oh noes, Gideon. That can't be the case. Because in order to beat RotS Sidious, you need to be Mace or Yoda. That means DE Sidious can't do the job because he's neither Mace nor Yoda, which means he's weaker than his RotS self.
And, of course, more obvious. Since statements present in a C-canon source can't simply be wrong, we also have the "most powerful Sith Lord ever" line.
Uh. If Sidious is the most powerful Sith Lord ever, that means at all times, always, at any time and in any possible case. That includes past, present and future.
So obviously, using Gideon logic, there is no way that DE Sidious can be more powerful than his RotS self.

Really I have no clue who would win the purely force duel but an overall would go to the team. First, Mace Windu manages to defeat ROTS Sidious, while he is not as powerful as DE Sidious, he is still powerful. Vader was concidered to be 80% as powerful as Sidious. Anakin, while not in "teh z0ne" is a bit short of his Vader incarnation putting him around 60% of Sidious, abd this is being far less than generous. Dooku pwns none "z0nage" anakin putting him around 70% the power of Sidious. Thus togther they alll equal 230% of Sdious, and this is saying Mace is equal to Sidious. SO unless DE Sidious is 2.3 times as powerful as his other incarnations he losses and he is defently not that much more powerful. One of the largest resaons is Luke, becomes the strongest force user and he only becomes twice as powerful as the movie incarnations of Sidious. Thus the team wins...
I know tons of faulty information bt it conveys my ideas.
