Aside from the massive advantage he has in the physical department, and the fact he perfected every move and sequence across all 7 forms in decades time? Inq just being able to use and counter them pales in comparison. He was also considered one of, if not the most skilled duelist in the entire galaxy. He was at very least the most skilled in the Brotherhood alone. Strength in the Force also helps in duels you know, and Kas'im is powerful enough to shield himself from Temple emploding telekinetic repulses on the fly. Inq has zero Force feats on that level, even accounting for the Nexus. Inquisitor is probably the better analysis, but in terms of actual physical dexterity Kas'im is his superior.
And that's kinda the point; 2+2= 4 doesn't need explaining because the end result is obvious. Just like this inbred of a thread. But I can hold one's hand through the process and explain so if they lack the mental capabilities to determain for themselves.

The Inquisitor's analysis skills won't help him here at all. It's not like he watched vids of Kas'im to freak him out. And he can't criticise the guys form when he has all of them to the highest degree. And if he tries to brag about his Inquisitor status Kas'im would probably just laugh his ass off. Is he gonna pick out weaknesses in Kas'im' forms which were stated to be perfect? No.

How exactly does Kas'im have a physical advantage. And that's some great hype that doesn't change that the Inquisitor has similar accolades.
Because...?
That's really not that impressive. Given who the Inquisitor would have to content with to be hyped as "the greatest duelist in the galaxy," I hardly consider comparing Kas'im to the Brotherhood of Darkness in any way shape or form a fair comparison.
Bane collapsed the entrance. There was absolutely zero Temple imploding, despite the hype it's constantly given by Neph.
Again, I'm wondering exactly why? Besides hype and "teh Force" which contrary to what you said, being strong in the Force won't equate to you being an excellent duelist.
Or you could give some actual feats. That works too.
You've proven that Karpyshyn doesn't actually know what the word implosion means. Congratulations.
Also: "Unfortunately, he couldn’t shield the Temple around him. The walls exploded into great
chunks of rubble. The archway collapsed in a shower of stone, burying Kas’im beneath tons
of rock and mortar. A second later the rest of the roof caved in, drowning out the "
Nice try, but I also have the book. It's pretty cool how you tried to leave out the part where the lack of support caused the building to cave in though. Guess if I chop the support beam in my house I'm also super powerful.
"Implosion is a process in which objects are destroyed by collapsing (or being squeezed in) on themselves."
Bane didn't just collapse the entrance. It states that the archway collapsed and then the rest of the roof followed suit. Meaning the rest of the temple. The archway itself in no way supports the roof and isn't a support beam of any kind.
Or you could use an actual dictionary, like Oxford:
1
Collapse or cause to collapse violently inward:
A building collapsing is not implosion.
Second, you have no idea how buildings work if you think you can collapse the supporting walls and expect it to stand. The entire point to arches is to support.
