Oh yes...the Jedi Civil War. May I ask you how a war which happened AFTER KUN'S TIME would affect the skill of his contemporaries ? No ? The only battles happened before the Great Sith War (from the Great Hyperspace War on) were the Third Shism (which ended in the same year with the rouge Jedi blowing themselves up in the Vultar Cataclysm) and the Great Droid Revolution (lasting less than a year).
So where do you get the "more martial time" stuff from. I guess not from the fact that Andur Sunrider, a fully trained TOTJ Jedi wasn't able to defeat some bandits in personal combat while we see Darsha Assent (a Padawan) leveling an entire gang and later Kenobi (whoopie - next Padawan) keeping up with Droidikas, tons of droids and even Black Sun members ? Give me a brake.
C. Oh yes, Kun was slow which is why he defeated his master as a padawan, tooled him again as a master, and stalemated another prodigy. Good one.
I'm pretty sure that Kun wasn't slow. Yet Mace was fast enough to place six hits on Kar Vastor (who's a rather powerful force user on his own especially in the jungle of Haruun Kal) before Vastor could even blink.
And again, since your anti logic, Logic dictates that Kun had to use a different form and/or created his own considering the hilt on his lightsaber was short and he can wield it single handidly.
Yes. Kun created his own form - he had to due to the fact that he created a unique weapon.
Now please compare that to Mace. Mace invented Vaapad at the age of 13 - and this required former mastery of forms IV, V and VII. And he had to learn form I as everybody did. So...Mace mastered four forms and designed his own already at the age of 13 and then he did go on and practice his own form for 40 years.
We know that Kun did master at least some forms according to his movements and duelling ablities displayed in the TOTJ comics (most likely form II, form V and Jar'Kai) but in contrary to Mace he didn't have the time to refine his own style.
And as for vaapad, you have no idea if it is more effective than Kun's form, so quit trying so hard.
Did you actually read Shatterpoint ?
Yoda descripes Vaapad as the "most deadly form of lightsaber combat". Depa using two lightsaber manages to similary deflect blaster fire from two gunboats while being on a third gunboat and is even able to redirect seven blaster bolts into a small hole on the cockpit of one of those gunboats. After she jumped into the third one and slaughtered the entire crew (20 or 30 people) on her own. Talk about effectivity.
This aside from the fact that Mace would have some advantage due to his Shatterpoint ability and in "Shatterpoint" he also says that Depa's bladework had already surpassed his Vaapad. And given that this is a sheer lightsaber fight, I'm pretty sure Mace and Depa would manage to take Kun and Ulic down after a hard fight.
