No. She held a collapsed tunnel over her and Jaina, while suffering from the coomb spores(which waste tremendous amounts of her reserves) and exhausted.
I just don't see how Corrans superior is "completely outclassed as duelist", lol.
Well, I can see an case being made for Malgus > Mara, but he isn't completely outclassing her, especially not as of Deceived, when his most notable feat is killing Zallow.
I'm talking about this feat. I'm not sure the circumstances you've bought apply here :
In any case, Mara is one of those thespians characterized by limitations - Weak but skilled. A character who, despite being physically weaker than their opponent, is able to beat them because they are more skilled than their opponent. They'll prove Hard Work Hardly Works is a false premise, and even exploit the stronger opponents' sloppy technique and Pride to win. But that usually requires a bit of forewarning and preparation. Outside of that, there are various instances of an overflowing narration describing how much effort she puts into feats, that for one of Sidious' most powerful predecessors would require very little exertion. Just as an example.
Malgus sent dozens of people flying through the air because he was mildly irritated. Not only that, but people slammed into walls and through windows. Malgus' shuttle lurched over from the after-effect of the impact. While the feat isn't ridiculous, he did this because he was mildly irritated and much like when super sayain's create powerful aftereffects with their aura's, not even trying. Mara on the other hand, dare i say it, could probably replicate such a feat, but only with a tremendous amount of effort on her part. She's certainly outmatched in the bare bones category of power and Malgus has a shit ton of experience duelling over her.
