Apparently you have no clue what you are talking about (as seems to be the case recently; putting Odan above Vodo), but I can't wait to read the rest...
Vodo's dueling skills were incredible:
Proof? Considering he was bested by a padawan Kun to an extent:
he was arguably a greater dueler than Exar Kun,
I'm guessing you can't see. Well, here you go just click on this picture and it *should* open your blind, blind eyes:
Yes, he's "arguably a greater dueler than Exar Kun"; regardless that Exar Kun already toyed with and destroyed Vodo as seen above.
who was able to stalemate Ulic,
Who, in turn, as I've argued is already better than Vodo. For the record, Ulic > Vodo as I already proved above.
who was able to stalemate a very powerful jedi knight while cut off from the force and while years out of practice.
You just copied my argument about Ulic and applied it to Vodo. WTF?
He was also very strong in the force: he knew of the force blocking technique and while he had not mastered it, was very proficient with it and he was able to alter his staff via the force so it could withstand a lightsaber.
Sadly, as we've seen on two occasions - it has been broken. Again, none of these esteemed skills saved him (nor Odan who was a master of the technique) against the power of Exar Kun.
He trained Exar Kun who was incredibly strong, and was probably the strongest jedi of his era - an incredibly martial era.
Exar Kun was the strongest of his era. Period.
EDIT:
And Exar as a jedi was still very powerful, due to Vodo's teaching methods. So was Sylvar.
So was Sylvar? Oh, you mean this Sylvar:
Seems a flick of the wrist from Exar Kun is all it takes to take down Sylvar. Very powerful indeed.
And Ulic being able to even defend against Sylvar for that long doesn't speak volumes for Sylvar. At all. Considering she was tapping into the Darkside and had the Force. Just so you know, the Force increases proficiency in saber dueling as well. So that only speaks well for Ulic; it doesn't work both ways.
Also may I remind you that it wasn't Vodo that made Kun into what he is, but Nadd's and the Ancient Sith's (Sadow's) teachings. Sure Vodo helped a bit, but Kun would have never gotten to where it was if it wasn't for the Ancient Sith.
Now, I suggest you quit mimicking IKC's arguments (because that's what you are doing), and get real. But since you seem to enjoy IKC's debating so much, I'll provide a nice little quote from him that sums up my response and your argument...
