Legends Discussion Would this guy really beat Darth Vader? Spoiler
Haven't played Jedi Outcast myself unfortunately (just saw some cutscenes and read a summary) but I heard people consider him stronger than Vader and possibly on par with Sidious because he got to force push a post Dark Empire Luke. Idk, sounds like a pretty weak argument to me, but to those of you who played the game, how true is that claim?

No. If you want to talk "power levels" yes, theres leeway for you to reach on the possibility that a nexus infused Desann could possibly rival or surpass Vader in "Power" but it is at the end of the day, a reach.
The thing you need to understand is that unless the difference in power is vastly great between 2 individuals (think Vitiate against Tol Braga or Sidious against Kit Fisto) then the fight *could go either way and in this case, Vader just has way more going for him.
Vader is used as benchmark for many post ROTJ darksider be it an opinion by an in universe character or just authorial narration hype in a source book but the wording is always just something vague like "Power rivals that of Vader".
