Anything goes. Malak faces off against one of two Sith of the PT era. It's generally confirmed that Vader beats Malak, but *RAMPANTOX MUST NOT READ PAST THIS POINT* can these two slightly lesser Sith do it?
Anything goes. Takes place on Kamino docking platforms.

Yea the novel says his age wasn't a factor at all, i just didn't know is like 10 years ago was his prime, or the at the height of his Jedi career. Just curious. Either way, as much as i don't like Dooku, Malak wont just run through Dooku like he's nothing.
I disagree. According to Yoda, Dooku was the Temple's greatest student, once. He also called him "the most learned in the ways of the Force". Dooku trained several powerful dark jedi and jedi killers such as Assaj Ventress and General Grievous. He was also the Temple's foremost lightsaber instructor - and was the master of Makashi. He also trained under Sidious in the Sith arts for thirteen years.
Given that Dooku was able to handle Obi-Wan and Anakin's brute strength in their two duels (albeit he lost when Anakin got into "the zone"), I don't forsee Malak just beating him into submission. He also dropped Assaj to her knees just by lifting a finger.
I don't see Malak winning against Dooku. I don't even see it being as close. I see Malak going down after some moderate difficulty.
I dunno. Malak was second to Revan, but that doesn't say much considering how strong Revan is. Besides, Malak has performed some pretty impressive feats. He beat Bastila with relative ease, who was not an uber Jedi, but still pretty good. I'd put her on par with AotC Kenobi. His Force mastery is pretty awesome. Also, he was first in an order of thousands of Sith, a society in which the strongest reign supreme. That's pretty impressive, if you ask me.
Are you trying to say that Dooku wouldn't defeat Malak? Because this isn't proving it (the whole Bastilla = AotC Obi-Wan comparisons don't apply, because Dooku wiped his ass with Obi-Wan - twice). Or are you saying it'd be a close fight?
I'm just playing devil's advocate here. I think Dooku would win this, but I'm not sure (he11, that's why I started this post). I definitely don't think Malak will get pwned like some seem to imply.

OK well Dooku was part of the elite when Jedi and Sith were in their prime...Maul is nowhere near Dooku and Dooku is from what i believe slightly above malak, based on what slight knowledge i have of Malak. I was saying maybe Malak before mainly cause i don't like Dooku, but i think it could go 6/4 in Dooku's favor. Malaks saber skills are nowhere near Dooku's and Dooku is pretty powerful in the force with immense knowledge of said force.
Actually, Maul is "one of the deadliest Sith apprentices in history". He's very much underrated around here. He's not on Dooku's level with a lightsaber, and the gap in their Force powers seems to be considerable. But Maul's speed, strength, ferocity, and martial arts prowess coupled with his outrageous stamina and skills with a lightsaber would make him an extremely difficult opponent to face off against in single combat.

Right, i understand that, and I myself at one time has said that Maul was underrated, BUT, i maintain that he is nowhere near the Count's level.
Also, the daddy long legs is the most poisonous spider in the world, however it cant bite us due to a small mouth, so it being one of the deadliest is rather irrelevant. Same for maul...yes he is very good, but without the tools to be able to understand his power and utilize it correctly, then he's no better than AOTC Anakin, when he was pwned by Dooku...although I do not believe that Maul would last nearly as long with Dooku as Ani did.
