That was a single, massive Massassi, and I believe the same one Kun has with him at the Temple. And yeah, it pretty much slapped Sylvar around like a doll. That tends to happen with her a lot. I'd have to say that that particular Massassi, with proper armaments, could take on a slayer or two. Forget precision, if it had a weapon that could withstand the razor-edged amphistaffs, it could probably smash the things' heads in.
That thing was still mutated like all Massassi on Yavin 4 in TOTJ. The non-mutated ones are the guys we seen in GAotS or FotSE, and those will get pwned by YV warriors (better armor, better weapons, more physical strength).
I wouldn't quite call it hate. More like irritation. And I have read the comics carefully and the only cases I have seen of someone slaughtering their opponent with just their bare hands are the case of Sylvarr slaughtering at least 2 Massasi with her hands or the weaker Massasi killing those 2 sith lords in League with Kressh. I have never seen the Massasi overpower Sylvarr under any circumstances.
