Thats the biggest bunch of BS if Ive ever heard it.Read the TPM novel,it says that if he didn't give into the DS that one time,he probably wouldn't ve survived against Maul's assault.
Again,you underestimate them both,you mostly have no proof to back up your statements.Maul and Dooku mastered their owns forms,it doesn't say (atleast,not anywhere that I klnow of),that Revan mastered his own form of dueling.
1) Which is why Malak defeated Kavar? Kavar who was THE Jedi Weapon Master of the time? The best the order had known during kOTOR? List these Jedi who are allegedly stronger than Malak. I recall only a few masters of the order, Atris, Zez Kai, Vandar, Vrook, Zhar, and Kavar. All of these masters would be pwned by Malak.
2) The quote is in Traya's last words about Revan. I will try and find it. There is a quote from Malak though (have that save file at least)
"You are strong Revan, far stronger than you ever were in your reign as the Dark Lord"
Even Star Forge Revan was stronger than Dark Lord Revan. By that time, Malak had enough time to assess Revan's combat abilities. Malak was with Revan during the Mandalorian wars and saw what his master was capable of. His judgement would definately be accurate.
3) Obi Wan was s tooled by Dooku in AOTC and in ROTS, despite the amount of training he had since he was a padawan. Again Maul is a non factor having been beaten by a padawan Ben.
I have provided proof. Revan defeated Malak on board the Star Forge, he was regarded as the strongest duelist and force user of his time. Maul, regardless of mastering his "own" form, was beaten by a padawan. Dooku's "mastery of Makashi" will not be able to work well with Maul's double bladed style. There would be a problem when they try and mesh with each other. Look at Anakin and Obi Wan. Dooku easily held them back.
Revan mastering his own dueling style is self evident. Having defeated one of the best duelists of his time is proof enough. Just because the developers didn't have time to think up what dueling technique Revan mastered, his other feats show his skills with a lightsaber are better than either of his opponents.
