Think of it this way though. Out of all of the people who followed Revan, there were many Masters. Bandon was Chosen above all of the former Jedi Masters. He has to be capable.
He might also have around as much experince. He looks like what? 35, maybe? Katarn began using the Force when he was twenty or so, I think. He's like 40/45 in NJO, so thats 25 years experince. Bandon has about that much experince, since I personally don't consider the first decade very important since the Jedi mainly work on morals and such during that time, rather than fighting skill.

It's Revan, not Raven.
You are making to mistakes.
The first, using gameplay as a demonstration of power.
The second, assuming that just because someone isn't extremely difficult for Revan to defeat, that person must suck. Revan is above Yoda in power.
Look at it this way. Dooku defeated ROTS Obi-wan. Does that mean Obi-wan sucks? No. But he still took him out without much difficulty.
Actually in the grand scale of continuum, Obi Wan was pretty bad. Yet he still was arguably in the top 3 of the ROTS Jedi Order.
Also, because Malak selected him does not necessarilly indicate he is a cut about anyone and can beat them in a duel. He very well could have picked him for his potential, or perhaps saw him as an individual who could operate the StarForge. There's just too many unknowns to crown him second best simply because he was picked.
