That's usually one of the tricky things involved with analyzing him as a character. People know he is among the high tier with regard to force ability, but along with lack of familiarity with the post ROTJ stuff (I'm in that camp), his character was pitifully underused.

He stalemated/defeated Jaina whilst disguised as a Vong. Not entirely positive what the circumstances were, but the text makes it seem as if she were amped.
Then there's Luke classifying him with high tier duelists like Katarn, and implying that he's better than Sith Bladesmaster Gaalan.
He also has been in a few duels besides that, I wouldn't discredit his merit as a swordsman, even if it wasn't his high point.
And of course, there's his Force feats--Which are pretty damn good.
Vengere and Lumiya considered him a top candidate for next sith lord (the only non-Skywalker on the list), passing him over because of attitude/unpredictability.
And Kun's ghost selecting him adds to a tremendous amount of credibility to him. Why the **** didn't they use him, hehe
