Who wins between these champion masters of the Light? (Yoda from Revenge of the Sith vs the Hero of Tython from the final level of SWTOR)
Before it begins, I want a head start.
"Inside the spacious interior of the Galactic Senate chamber, Yoda challenged the Emperor. The two engaged in a spectacular duel—a contest between the most powerful practitioners of the Force’s light and dark sides."
-The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia
"This truth: that he, the avatar of light, Supreme Master of the Jedi Order, the fiercest, most implacable, most devastatingly powerful foe the darkness had ever known..."
-Revenge of the Sith Novel
Then their blades clashed together in a lace of fire, green and red: but the green burned hotter. Slowly, slowly, Dooku gave way: and in the dark, drunken Vjun air, Yoda was terrible to behold.
-Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"To the uninitiated, lightsaber combat can seem like a confusing blur of swipes and blade clashes, but on close examination, the secrets of the Jedi Knights become clear. To understand the combat of these warriors, we must delve into the sacred history of the fabled Seven Forms of Jedi lightsaber combat and look at how these have played out in the Star Wars saga. Only then can we understand the extraordinary combat moves of Yoda, perhaps the greatest lightsaber master the Jedi Order has ever seen."
-Insider #62: Fightsaber: Jedi Lightsaber Combat
"Yoda's proficiency with a lightsaber is stated to be unequaled.
With a stooped, small appearance, Yoda may not look like a warrior, but his skills with a lightsaber were unequaled."
-Lightsabers: A Guide to Weapons of the Force

Yoda also expends ****tons of energy fighting opponents because he is old and small and uses Ataru. His knowledge may be a benefit, but he's not shown outsmarting anyone in combat. In fact, looking back about the only way people could lose to Yoda besides being somehow inferior overall would be to fight him fairly.
Seeing as how Yoda is ( up until ROTS anyway) the most powerful jedi Master ever, master of every lightsaber style and most powerful in the force - he would win.
Hero of Tython is powerful but not enough to be Yoda.
Uh, as far as I remember he managed to take a hostage from Count Dooku even though the latter had every advantage including being on a Dark Side Nexus.
Also aside from blatant CIS from Sith characters, when has "outsmarting" ever played a part in a duel?
Not really he's .66m tall, and yet becomes a" whirlwind of destruction" according to the ROTS novel. He's the utmost master of Ataru.
