Okay, the way I see it, Kas'im is good because he can find weaknesses in people's techniques, he can tell patterns, and Anakin, when most powerful, is also the most reckless.
Anakin has more power, but Kas'im has more experience, both because of his age and the fact we are talking about the millennia-long New Sith Wars here, where the Jedi and Sith were in their most martial form.
Now, I can see Kas'im beating Anakin the same way Obi-Wan did. Kas'im has more focus and knows how to surprise/distract his opponents. He isn't just magically good. I am confident that Anakin can give Kas'im one hell of a fight, but Anakin would have to be at his very best to win (he can't normally do it).
You should of Anakin as the guy who mastered Djem So to a very high degree (was said to be the greatest user of it by former Battlemaster Dooku). His speed was off the charts, his reflexes awesome, his midi-chlorian count off the charts, physical condition amazing (muscles across his body). He ticks all the boxes really. And he ticks one box that Kas'Im does not tick, and that's the WINNER BOX! LOL

Man, the way you talk about Anakin, I swear. Youre basically saying he can defeat Yoda too, since Kas'im is better trained in the lightsaber arts.

Not the best ever, just the best that Dooku had ever seen.

Were his reflexes ever actually noted? 'Cause Kas'im's were.

😂 Is that right? 😛

Yes, Durge once stated that Anakin was the fastest Jedi he had ever seen. Which is A LOT of Jedi seeing as he lived for over 2000 years.
I'm sure there are other references, but this is the one off the top of my head.

Actually, he said "Fastest jedi I've ever KILLED"......

...Ehhh. Probably, but not that easy. As far as combat gos, Durge is just plain better. Force powers would be a *****, though. Durge has fought Jedi and learned all their tricks, but, Banes command of the darkside is impressive. Without offensive force powers, though, I doubt a POD Bane could take Durge, or come close, really.
Sorry, this is the wrong place for this. If you feel the need to make a thread, go ahead, but, let's not spam on this one, like I'm doing.
Anyway, Anakin has solid evidence that he is better. Kas'Im has one hyperbolic quote. But, even then, Anakin has him beat in that department.
"This is Anakin Skywalker: The most powerful Jedi of his generation. Perhaps of any generation..."
The quote goes on, but, I can't find it...
IIRC, wasn't that quote talking about how good a jedi he was, not purely how great his combat prowess was but multiple factors such as his piloting, his skills as a general etc...
The quote on Kas'im explains clearly just how good with a saber Kas'im was, and there's plenty of other stuff in PoD to gauge his power off, and he's quite clearly much better than Anakin.
His speed, agility and stamina were off the scales, as were his reflexes, and after having mastered all 7 forms for all types of the saber, he then spent decades perfecting each form.
This, coupled along with the fact that he frequently switched up between styles during a duel gave him a unique style, and the only person that could ever contend with him was Bane, only for part of the duel, and that was because Bane knew the setting inside out, his strength in the force and mastery was phenomenal and beyond Kas'im's, he knew Kas'im's moves with the saber staff inside out, and well, because he was BANE - most probably the most prodigious force user with a lightsaber ever...
Kas'im's also most likely very strong and masterful of the force as well, given how incredible his reflexes, stamina and physical attributes were, and the fact that he defended against the mega pwnage attack that Bane produced, which collapsed the entire Rakatan temple.
