Good points nia fohl this is getting interesting that being said there are certain points about Revan where you are mistaken,
-He did in fact have the jedi archives on dantooine as in the game if you ask to see them you're told that only masters or knights are allowed, Revan was a master at 25 so he was more than allowed to acess those archives as well as the ones on ossus, in kotor II kreia said, "He searched all the knowledge the jedi had to offer but found it to be lacking so he came to me." or something along those lines.
-I was not saying that Revan could have learned as much as yoda if they'd had the same sources, I was saying that Revan was more than able to get all the knowledge he could from his sources which were more extensive then yoda's and had more to teach.
-"There are techniques within the force for which there is no defense." This is NOT just refering to Nhilus she said techniques plural. Yoda wouldn't have knowledge of some of the things revan could throw against him, never mind some aren't blockable.
-Attaru does have defensive flaws in it plain and simple, vrook the most powerful jedi master at his time whose knowledge of attaru was as masterful as yoda's got owned by the exile, why? Because of three reasons.
1. It leaves you extremely vulnerable to force powers, If you're flipping and flying all over the place you're going to have a hard time countering or even expecting a blast of force lightning coming towards your face. Techniques like the one kreia used to kill the three jedi masters could definitley be used against him. Look at the way maul pushed ob1 over the edge in tpm enough said.
2. while attaru is an offensive style, whenever we see someone defending with it they end up getting killed or almost killed, when rots obi used it in his fight with anakin when he was on the defensive he was barely surviving. We never see yoda on defense but if he was chances are he'd be in trouble.
3.battle pre-cog the exile had it in his fight with vrook and that was at less than half the level Revan was at, you can jump around and move as fast as you want but it doesn't help you if the person knows where you'll be going before you do which is the level Revan is at.
Even Kreia says that ti's weak defensively and she's just as wise as yoda.
-As for The dooku sidious fights sasee neither has battle pre-cog or a 6th of the power of Revan, comparing them would be like comparing A 9 year old with a yellow belt and a plastic sword to a samurai.
- Yoda's age is irrelevant, in those 900 years he did not learn more than Revan as he simply didn't have the sources, he did not fight more than Revan as there were practically no wars. His lightsaber technique was no where near as refined as Revans who'd practically perfected his own style through combat a style with no apparent flaws that took the strong points of everything he learned and blended them together, now compare this to attaru with it's above mentioned flaws.
-Revan will not show mercy in a fight with someone who wants to kill him, he doesn't have the constraints of the jedi order to keep him from killing who he wants, and as far as yoda's speed, speed is good but good technique could nullify speed, for example,
I play on a ball hockey team that is by far and a way the fastest team in the league, however we've been beat 7-0 by a team that almost didn't run at all, because they were better set up and they could read what we were doing and turn it against, we could run all we wanted to but because of their superior technique we ended up just running till we were tired where they barely broke a sweat. As for unpredictable Revan has fought many many attaru users before as well as also having battle pre-cog and dueling experience so he could predict yoda's movements.
-Once again plagues you make me laugh, Revan had the full jedi archives on dantooine, malachor v and korriban so two planets and the jedi archive, he learned much faster then everyone else so he was able to aquire all the information he possibly could, as for him using his own form, in the cut scene where bastila storms his flagship he uses a form that isn't one of the 7 he also is known for not using any one form. He had much more to learn from and learned in weeks wht others can't in years, lets look at the math, if it takes him two weeks to learn what someone else can't in two years thats a 1/52 ration, now apply that to10-15 years worth of knowledge so that would be 52 time 15 which is a lot , I'm too lazy to do the math so he was more than capable of learning all he could, like it says in KOTOR II from all his sources which had much more information then yodas, then he actually practised it against opponents that wanted to kill him. Vrook was a complete master of this form, KOTOR II didn't show it well but if you look at the information about him, He was a MASTER of form 4 a complete master just like yoda.
- As for Revans battle pre-cog, The greatest echani master could forsee his opponents moves even before he thought of doing them, Revan's ability was much much much better then the echani's so he'd be able to know what yoda was going to do before it happened so he'd use his technique to keep from exerting himself while yoda tires himself out jumping around like a 6 year old on speed.
-Last two points as this post is getting long, Revan had many artifacts that increased his power, never mind that he was the heart of the force so he was very in touch with the force and drew on the force for strength as much as any force user, in fact because of his natural ability it was that much easier for him just like it was for anakin. His artifacts and even his robs made him much more powerful in the force adding to his already immense amount of power.
-Revan was also a genius to the point where it was crazy, he may not be totally rutheless but if showing mercy would hinder him in achieving his goals then he sure as hell wouldn't be merciful. He was brilliant to the point where he would be able to analyze yoda's style and abilities and gain the upper hand, he would strategize and orchestrate the fight manipulating yoda's weaknesses waiting for him to make a fatal mistake and then making him pay for it.
-So in the end we're left with Revan being able to exploit weaknesses in yoda's lightsaber form, knowing where he'll be before he gets there armed with a better arsenal of force techniques some of which could only be learned from the places he found them places yoda's never been to. Now add his artifacts to boost his power and his own superior lightsaber form as well as much more combat experience even agaisnt attaru users which will give him the ability to see and exploit yoda's waknesses. Better with a saber, more force power, the ability to see things before they happen...well that pretty much says it all.
