NVM, I just started reading Outlander. However, I'm pretty sure Yoda was just flattering him, the real reason they needed him to go was because Ki was the only person on the council who never actually knew him personally, and so there would be no emotional ties there if he needed to kill him. And I doubt he would have the skills to defeat Sharad Hett as a jedi in his prime, this guys seems petty powerful based on what is said about him in the comic, one of the most powerful jedi warriors in fact.

I think Yoda meant that because Ki-Adi trained Hett. Obi-Wan would have a better chance of defeating Anakin than most others because he knew Anakin's fighting style very well.Plo Koon seemed more of a martial Jedi than Mundi, who was well reknowned for his wisdom.
Actually Ki-Adi had never met him up to that point, he trained his son, A'Sharad Hett.

Wait... You're saying Yoda just said that to flatter him? He even states, "the truth only, I speak" in response to Ki-Adi-Mundi saying "you flatter me, Master Yoda". And Yoda would know a lot about Ki's potential, considering it was HE who trained him.
I doubt very much Yoda was saying anything but the truth, or what he honestly believed -- just like everything he says.
Now, could someone please tell me what makes Plo better than Ki? (besides his force powers?)
But how could it be the truth Medvock, when we know that Yoda, Mace and probably a few others were more powerful than Ki-Adi-Mundi. That fact alone proves that the statement was false, Yoda was most probably flattering him, unless you want to argue that Yoda honestly believed Mundi to be better than himself and Mace. No it's pretty obvious that the main reason Yoda picked Ki-Adi was because he was the only council member to have never known him.

So because of this we conclude that the statement has no meaning whatsoever? No. Yoda himself stated what he said was the truth. You can not just say he was "flattering him" when it is even mentioned by Yoda that he WAS TELLING THE TRUTH.
I would not say that quote makes Ki-Adi above Mace or Yoda but I do believe it puts him VERY closely behind. Above Plo Koon at least.
NOW, because you seem to be in Plo Koon's favor, CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL MAKES HIM BETTER THAN KI-ADI-MUNDI???
I dont know who would win personally but I think some of your logic is a bit one sided. Saying that Plo Koon is the 'warrior type' means nothing. Yoda is renowned for his wisdom and not famous for his fighting abilites (much like Mundi) even though he is the greatest swordsman in the order. Yoda even compliments Mundi on his abilities, and directly states that it is the truth. I dont see how you can argue that.
