- Krayt - Apocalypse scaling
For UnuThul, Nyax, Vol and Krayt the same argument could have been said for the second place of the tournament (ie versus Sheev)...
For Yoda and Plagueis, they didn't impress me as Valkorion. Prime Yoda is something too vague to put him above Valk. Plagueis is wank way to high to my point.

Possibly, but Sidious has IMHO better feats than Valkorion.

Those arguments for Nyax and Krayt were raised against Sheev and were dealt with. Vol would also fall under the same argument as Krayt.

Agree with this... Just explaining that if the different argument that you provide for unu, vol, krayt and Nyax didn't work against Sheev, I didn't think that they work for Valk either

Little bit off-topic, but somewhat relevant to the conversation, but does Sidious "most powerful" quotes apply to Sith that came after him like Vol and Krayt? Or, are the only before and up to his time?
Just curious.

Those statements seem to work for before and up to. However Sidious has one to place him as the “most powerful modern Sith” or something of a similar wording. Which is what you’d use for Sith after him.

The quote has been made in Revenge of the Sith therefore it only includes previous Sith. However RotS Sidious is far from his prime version.

Also before his demise, Plagueis was the strongest Sith ever existed. That applies anyone who came before him.

There's one specific quote that applies to all Sith after him. Some others are debatable since you could argue out-of-universe statements aren't bound by in-universe chronology, meaning Sidious being the most powerful Sith Lord in history would literally mean in history, which does extend past his lifetime. However, I'm not sure on my stance on that argument.

Superiority quotes like Sidious' are honestly dumb, given that they apply to over thousands of individuals. By that logic, SWTOR Vitiate << ROTS Sidious, which is honestly complete, and utter bullshit.

Except that RoTS Sidious > any incarnation of Vitiate and he would stomp him. A guy like Vitiate who can barely react to T3 and lightsaber throws would instantly get speedblitzed by Sidious. And no, he cannot slow down the time and that argument was debunked ages ago.

Severe lowballing. Novel Vitiate>>SF Malak who would destroy T3 with a thought. The only reason what happened in the fight happened was due to Vitiate being completely focused on eliminating Revan. He most likely thought everyone else there not named Revan were ants compared to him and ignored them completely leading him to lower his guard. Also this doesn't even represent Swtor Vitiate who has 300 years of growth after this point.HellfireUnit wrote:Except that RoTS Sidious > any incarnation of Vitiate and he would stomp him.

Valk should take this, given that most of his remaining rivals (UnuThul, Plagueis, Yoda, etc) have nothing on the level of the Ziost drain, or ragdolling Unchained Vaylin, Arcann, and the Outlander at once.
All three of them scale to a level of stomping any of the SWTOR protags, which is especially impressive given some of their feats & scalings, like the Vivicar scaling, the HoT defeating a weakened Voice, Nox backhanding Thanaton's lightning, accidentally sending him flying into a wall, etc.

UnuThul vs. Valkorion comparison:
Who should be stronger on paper? -> while Valkorion has absorbed thousands of Sith and millions-billions of people on Ziost, a lot of that likely went into extending his lifespan and then reviving himself. In either case, it hardly compares to UnuThul's trillions of beings. You could argue that Valkorion has had greater time to actualize the power / more mastery, and you may be right - but at best, it's a wash.
Who has better "raw" feats? -> bending turbolasers >>> anything Valkorion has done using raw TK/etc.
Who has better combat feats? -> UnuThul was essentially beating Luke before Luke went all-out. Even a "holding back" Luke is arguably stronger than the Outlander/etc., so this is quite likely a wash or a point for UnuThul. This is especially the case given that characters IU did not seem to think that Luke could defeat UnuThul, potentially placing UnuThul above manifestations of Luke's power that had been seen by others.
Who has better "esoteric" feats? -> clearly Valkorion, but frankly a lot of people seem to think that Ziost wasn't a ritual despite the 1) precedence of Valkorion using rituals, 2) precedence of surface-busting rituals, and 3) parallels to Nathema and the galaxy ritual. Some people argue that only the absorption part of Nathema was ritualistic, but the destruction part of the galaxy ritual would've definitely been ritualistic too.
It can easily be argued that "esoteric" feats which have not been properly linked to raw power are not as good of an indicator of combat ability as some of the other categories.
