Lord Darkstar
Grandmaster of the AFC
hmm, well I'm not sure who would win, but while I was reading all the posts, I figured I would correct some things and put in my own 2 cents, here it is:
Revan simply cannot know all styles inside and out, it took Dooku 50 years to master form II alone, Revan cannot master them all in his 35 years. He may have basic knowledge of them all, but mastered them, no.
Yoda fought in the stark hyperspace wars, against the nightsisters and in the clone wars, so he does have experience
Yoda would know more than just ataru, he knows form I and probably more, you don’t live 900 years and only master 2 forms
How do you know nobody that Yoda fought had only a 1/10 of the power as Revan, you say the Yoda guys and fanboys, but to me that in fanboyish, saying that with no hint of proof to back it up
And Revan did not learn form Tulak, he had his HOLOCRON (not the same as learning from a real person. Learning from a holocron is like reading a book and then thinking you are a master, it doesn’t cut it. Also, like I will explain below, he only could have studied from the holocron for one year hardly enough to master it
Also, you say Revan had so much time to train, but he had his, say, 35 years but at first he would have only had access to the padawan stuff. So say he mastered all that and got access to the knight stuff at age 16, then he mastered all that stuff by the age of 28. Then he went off to war, so most of his studies would have stopped, after all, if he was studying, then he was not in combat as much as you say, and if he was in combat as much as you say, then he was not studying very much. After the war was over (age 31), he went a found Malachor V and some info, so say he studied that for a year (because after that he went and started another war). During the war, he is training Malak and fighting, again, not as much studying. After his mind was wiped, he would have learned nothing new, sure he took stuff from Korriban, but he would not have had time to study it. After defeating Malak, he regained his memories, and started studying again, but again, that is only a year, you cannot master the force and the new stuff he had in only a year. So in short, he does not know as much as most people think
Also, Revan could not have studied all day, he had to train Malak, do tactics and organize, fight a war. Also, after studying, he would have had to have some practical application of it, I can read a book all my life on martial arts, but that does not make me a black belt.
About Revan’s confidence in battle before facing the 3 jedi, might I remind you Dooku was confident before facing Anakin, look where it got him. Also, Grevious was confident before facing Obi-Wan, even telling his droids to stand down, look where it got him. Confidence does not shown superior power, it may just be arrogance.
And Wipipedia does have some false stuff Emperor Revan
Hope that helps
