We didn't see the whole fight on those Jedi. The droids could've beaten them only for Malak to stop them and start choking them when Revan opened the door. And I seriously doubt they were Masters. They looked exactly like those 3 Jedi that died against those weakling Sith apprentices. Plus they don't have Jedi Master robes on.Wow, he could use Life drain, hardly impressive since each Jedi restored his Force power as well. As for controlling the Star Forge, that is VERY impressive and would help him, but we haven't seen Malak fight against anyone powerful. Yes he probably defeated powerful Jedi, (though with as much as he avoids fighting Revan, he may have sent others to do the work) but Anakin defeated Darth Tyrannus, who was very powerful as well and easily defeated Jedi.
I never heard the part about Kavar saying he faced Malak and barely managed to escape. That definitely helps bring the fight closer, but Anakin still defeated stronger opponents. It would be a close fight, and knowing more stuff about Malak would help, but Anakin is an incredibly good dueler and could probably take the advantage.
Okay, they could have been defeated by those droids, which I doubt because Malak says he wants to test the strength of the Star Forge against Revan. He doesn't care about the rest of those Jedi.
Those Jedi I call them Masters because well how else would they have gotten there, they had to have had skill. Yes they looked the same, but everybody in Kotor looks the same.
I do personally also think Kavar could beat Dooku so beating Kavar IMO is more impressive, besides Kavar would not face Malak alone. The guy on Nar Shaddaa talks about him being defeated btw.
Now even if he send others to kill the more powerful Jedi he was still higher in rank then those guy and those guys would have killed him if they were more powerful. So that still means Malak was more powerful then those guys were. And life drain wasn't mean to be impressive just to show he has a command of the force that Anakin probably does not have
