If Revan attempts to engage Lord Tyranus with his lightsaber, the good Count will humiliate him like he has so many other esteemed duelists. Revan's mastery of tutaminis will undoubtedly help him defend against Dooku's lightning, but it will not help him against the Count's superior TK mastery. And in an all out its sort of a pick your combo of Revan's death. Dooku has perhaps the most impressive track record of pwning people mid duel with the Force, so that's probably the most likely choice of death.
I wouldn't say Dooku's TK mastery is superior. In his Foundry fight Revan rips meteors down and pelts the strike team with them, which is by the way an extremely impressive display of using the Force mid duel.
That also backs up the theory that Revan was an expert practitioner of Niman. Though because of the descriptions of his extremely acrobatic and offensive lightsaber displays, I'd say he's also an Ataru practitioner. And just to over-analyze things, I'll also say he might have been a reverse-grip Shien practitioner, considering we've seen him in canon pictures using reverse grips against blaster-wielding assailants, and has often dealt with blaster-wielders in his travels. Considering Ataru sucks for blast deflection and Niman is so-so, I'd say it's a slightly backed up possibility.
Still, his chances against Dooku in a duel are slim. I do believe, however, he can hold his own in lightsaber combat, and continue to gain an advantage through greater Force Aptitude.
What part of Gameplay is non-canon don't you understand about the canon policy. Otherwise we have one of the Dread Masters turning into god like size in one of the most recent Operations. And gigantic Rakata man in the Eternal Vault.
Um, I don't know about the Dread Master thing, but Soa is actually mentioned in SWTORE and theres a picture of him being 20 feet tall and stuff.
Gameplay is only non-canon because in gameplay you control what happens so obviously that isn't a set thing. But Revan pulls those meteors down automatically and cannot be interrupted so its something that always happens in that fight, thus it is canon.
That is retarded. Rakatans are all humanoid, why is the Infernal One suddenly a giant. And yeah Dread Master Styrak's enrage mode is him turning into a gigantic version of himself, where he attempts to smite the team.
No it isn't. Gameplay is non-canon because it is silly. Otherwise you'd have people tanking dozens of blasterbolts, resisting lightsaber wounds, and tanking grenades rockets, and thermal detonators unmolested. If we take it as canon, those same meteors can be casually tanked by a non force user like the Sith Agent. So either Revan pulled down some unnaturally soft meteors or that feat hardly counts as canon.
