Wouldn't its nearest competitor be the N1 rocket? That thing did have some liftoffs.

N1 had half the thrust of Starship:

Nothing else comes close, even planned ones that aren't operational yet.

I didn't say N1 came close to starship, just that it was closer than SLS

Yes you’re probably right, it had just slightly more thrust than the SLS, at about 9M pounds.
