This has been bugging me for a while now, especially since I've heard some claim he could top NJO Luke, so I started this poll to see how he ranks as a force User. Keep in mind, this is using both Jedi and Sith.
Let me list the people I think could take him(not in order):
Ragnos
Sadow
Ludo
Simus(probably)
Tulak(probably)
Ajunta(probably)
Exar
Ulic
DN Luke(NJO too)
Nadd
Kyp Durron
DE Sidious(PT or OT Sidious would lose)
Maybe Vodo Baas
So he's out of the top ten.
Edit: Oh, it's like how Fishy is doing it. I don't really know. Those never work. I thought you meant to put him in rank order.

Fishy, here I'm just asking for your personal opinion, who you rank him over and under is your business, if you'd like to share why you put him where you do and why you put so and so above or below him, feel free. I'm just curious.
Shadow he is good because even with the limited information we have and assuming he has doen the littlest possible he still rocks.
Pwned... I think there are many that he could beat and many that could beat him. Amongst the Sith he would rank amongst the highest, and he could very well be the best lightsaber fighter. Even better then somebody like Tulak Hord... Who was damned good from all we know.
With the force he is more powerful then many.
Amongst the Sith I would rate him higher then Ulic lower then Exar, meaning he would be surpassed by just a few. Nadd, Sadow, Kressh, Exar, Ragnos, Simus. Those are for sure others can be doubted. Possibly DE Sidious but he might defeat him in a fight depending on the circumstances.
Amongst the Jedi I would rate him slightly above Yoda under NJO Luke. Possibly under other NJO characters but I don't know those guys.. whatever the case Revan belongs with the greats meaning he could pwn most people.
I pretty much agree with everything you said fishy. Perhaps it's his nature as a video game character, but It's hard for me to decisively place him somewhere, the fact that he's beyond your average Jedi is a given, but when one places him next to other greats such as Yoda, things get murky. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that he could take yoda, but much of it requires one to make certain assumptions and estimates, for example Revan's knowledge of the force and his lightsaber skills. It's because of this that I would love for there to be some kind of official retelling of certain events that could make Revan's abilities a little clearer.
I agree but I wouldn't expect that when there is still money to make with the Kotor series... Perhaps they will tell things in Kotor III make things more clear, it would be nice... But it could be like Kotor II only giving a few answers and creating far more new questions.
That's the sad thing about new characters in SW. There's so many out there, that every new one, in order to be impressive, has to surpass most of the rest.

Even if you completely do every single thing you can in the game, which I did, he would still lose to Luke, Ragnos, Sadow, Nadd, and Exar at the minimum.

I like Revan. I'm not a fanboy, but I like him. Nice cloak and all. He's got style, Shaft of the SW world an' all. I doubt he'd be seen dead in Luke's 70s mullet.
