We had a massive argument about it. Eventually even he was bound to bring up some credible evidence. Like Malgus collapsing 2 buildings while injured, or having lightning capable of ashifying opponents, or shattering a pillar with a kick or whatever boo hoo, point is he's kind pf strong. At least Dooku level.
Feat-wise, Revan is outmatched against anyone on the first team. Malgus is going to have to be pretty uber to pick up that slack. Conversely, Sidious is more powerful than anyone on either team.
One of his feats after the events of SWTOR (Hope) cinematic trailer:
"Malgus fell into the Force, roared, and hounded down the street, his anger lending his speed.
The Jedi held his ground. At twenty meters, the Jedi raised his lightsabers aloft to either side and drew them both down with a flourish.
Too late the rumble of the falling buildings penetrated the haze of Malgus's anger. An avalanche of duracrete and transparisteel crached down on him from either side of the street.
Malgus stood in a pocket under a mountain or rubble, legs bent, the power from his upraised hands preventing several tons of duracrete and steel from crushing him. Dust made his already troubled breath more difficult. He coughed as the words of his father echoed in his mind.
He'd been sloppy, so lost in his need for revenge that he'd failed to properly evaluate the Jedi's power. He's surrendered his reason to bloodlust. But no more. With an effort of will, he contained his anger, controlled it, made it a whetstone against which he sharpened his power. Using the Force, he blew the rubble up and away from him. It fell with a crash on the adjacent buildings. A Force-augmented leap carried him out and over the heap. The Jedi's eyes widened as Malgus hit the street. Malgus sneered and charged."
Book of Sith reveals about Malgus' most potent abilities or so I have heard.
"In his quest for domination, Darth Sidious tracked down what remained of five pivotal Sith texts written by his most powerful predecessors."
Malgus have defeated and killed several powerful opponents.
Any sane person who has watched SWTOR (Return) cinematic trailer, wouldn't question Malgus' abilities.
We do not know much about (Darth) Revan actually. In the koTOR Campaign Guide, some of his abilities as a Sith Lord have been listed.
One feat of his, during this phase, is that he and Darth Malak were having disagreements and this led to a battle between the two during which he (Darth Revan) cut-off the lower jaw of Darth Malak. This was the turning point of the relationship between them and Darth Malak took revenge by betraying his Sith Master during the events of Jedi infiltration of Darth Revan's flagship.
Elaborate on the incompetence part.

And you have won KMC's greatest debater award, correct?
I find your assessment questionable when you:

You have some trouble getting your points across and sometimes use some extremely weak evidence to form arguments, like those images of Revan in the SWTOR Archives apparantly proving that Revans an awesome duelist.
But hey, I did admit that you had some convincing arguments in the link I posted. Thats a compliment.
I understand that English is not my native language and sometimes my points (written in English) are not so clear to English speaking audience. However, what I dislike is when people misunderstand my points and judge me on the basis of their own error in judgements.
It is good that you brought the images part as an example. I never suggested that Revan was an awesome duelist on the basis of those images alone; what I argued was that Revan, being a Force-wielder, would have (logically) used lightsaber and Force in combat - prior to release of his novel. In contrast, critics were saying that he would have used guns and grenades instead.
Ironically, the critics turned out to be wrong and my logical assessment turned out to be correct. Their is no luck here; canonical tid-bits already hinted on Revan' combat preferences.
If I am incompetent, these critics are even more incompetent and they that take it out on me to conceal their own incompetence.
