Well, what do you think?
If you want to compare, perhaps it would be easier if you specified the "versions" of the characters; for example, pre-RG Ventus with CoM Sora, or the likes.
I don't take it nearly to the level of those enthusiasts who spend hours upon hours determining who would beat whom in a fight, but I do think it is desirable to an extent to sort out the power levels of a particular story. It can be very "Zen," taking the evidence and rearranging it into an organized form.Can I pose a counter-question that's relevant to the topic at hand?
Why do these topics always pop up with such frequency? I get that part of the plot stems from "power" but kingdom hearts isn't a pissing contest. Why is it such an interest to so many people who is more "powerful" than who?

I'd say DDD actually made this very relevant, since it's an actual theme in the game.
Moreover, though, some people like making lists. And some people don't like making lists. How do I know? Because the last time I told someone that some people, like me, like making lists, they sent me death threats. I didn't say anything else, just "some people like making lists," and we weren't really taking about the topic of discussion at that point, just the idea of lists, so I can only really conclude that some people really, really don't.
Even Xehanort has proved to be inconsistent in his levels of power among his forms. Master Xehanort the old and supposedly frail version was able to lift literal mountains out of flat terrain and use magic to warp up cyclones of dead keyblades.
While in contrast you have Terranort, MX in a much younger body, that supposedly should be the combined might of Terra and MX both yet he lost not once but twice to a empty suit of armor and to Aqua. Which seems rather off since Terra alone has been shown to be equal to Aqua in power.
I figured it was because the huge amount of darkness inside him was making him enraged. He could've easily won if he focused on his magic like he was doing before, but he wasn't thinking clearly and resorted mostly to brute force. And in the latter case Terra was clearly fighting against him.While in contrast you have Terranort, MX in a much younger body, that supposedly should be the combined might of Terra and MX both yet he lost not once but twice to a empty suit of armor and to Aqua.

(...) And on top of all that, the games keep finding excuses to bring Sora back to level 1, so you have to extrapolate his strength all over again (it honestly seems to be one of many cases of gameplay-story segregation, since the excuses they come up with for most of the power-downs are ridiculous).
There is also the fact sora is reset every game for actual in-story reasons making him even more inconsistent.
Now Sora is the weakest character we've played as. Over the stretch of about 2.5 years, Sora had gained power, lost it, gained power, lost it again, and gained power once more. Sora has had the hardest time of all characters to keep up his strength.
