Hm, I'm not sure how Durron is in the later EU stuff. I assume he's polished his skills a lot from his intro, when he had raw power and potential but not a lot of practice.
I think this would be very close. Caedus was definitely better at saber combat and seemed more tactical. I think Durron's force powers might be enough to overwhelm Jacen though.

In Inferno. Luke was badly hurt. His knee was popped out and he was gasping for breath, due to getting repeatdly punched. The novel is a little unclear at the end. But Luke was tangled up in some thorns when Jacen was stabbed in the back by Ben.
No, Luke wasn't tangled up in some thorns. that happened early in the fight. Then Luke had a chance to kill Jacen, but Ben yelled "No, he's mine!!' So Luke didn't. Luke did take damage, its true, but Luke was about to kill Jacen when Ben stabbed him. In fact, Jacen muses later, that Ben's stabbing him was the only thing that saved his life from Luke.
Which book is it in which Luke holds Jacen motionless in his chair for an entire conversation? A conversation after which Jacen must finally ask Luke to release him?
Jacen wasn't on Luke's level, i'm just not sure if he was on Kyp's or not. I don't think he was, through the force, but he has numerous blade accolades on his side.
I just checked. Your right. I was thinking about the garrote Jacen used on LUke, which Luke managed to escape just before Caedus was stabbed by Ben.
That was in Inferno as well.
Jacen is, IMO, closer to Luke's level than any other NJO Jedi. Although I have to say a fight between him and Kyp would be epic. I always wished Kyp was chosen to lead the attack against Jacen instead of Kyle.
Kyle's orders were just to place that tracking device on Caedus. He also had 4 newly promoted inexperienced Knights with him. If it was Kyp and he had 4 experienced Knights with him, it would have been a whole different story.
