And now he's alive. So...truce?

He still ended SC's friends, so SC's gonna have to end him.

Hasn't SC done that already?

Yeah but "Somehow [The Dark Lord] returned."

At this point, I'd say that they're currently even. I just want to see a greater threat like Chaos in AvA or something...

We can't make an enemy too powerful. The best part is watching their defeat at the end of it, after all, and if it's too strong, then the hero would be overmatched more than Puss in Boots during his first run-in with the Wolf, or the 1000 rhino guards against Tai Lung.

It's hard to make ANYONE overmatch an awakened SC.

Yeah, but that seems like a cop-out. "Villain too powerful? Awaken SC! Boom, checkmate." Just because the queen is on the chessboard doesn't make a game an automatic win.

Fair enough. I just wanted to see more of this kind of stuff, because it actually puts a lot more at stake.

I guess that's a fair reason.
