You've obviously not read Shatterpoint. Kar is very, no extremely capable of not only using TK attacks, but defending against them as well.
The funny thing is that he IS untrained, and yet he's still as powerful as people like Mace Windu. Imagine if he WAS trained. His power is insane. Kar wins this, Kas'Im will put up a fight, but he still goes down...hard.
Kas'im was able to redirect Bane's attack with his force shield, that was able to collapse an entire temple purely through it's redirection. And it's not like the darkside excels when used defensively, Bane comments that the darkside was never too useful from defending oneself or healing, and excels when used destructively. So considering how great Kas'im's defencive capabilities with the force were, it makes sense that they would be even greater when used offensively. So even if Kar can defend against TK applied in such a way (could you post a passage supporting that by the way), Kas'im's power would likely be much greater, yes?
Kar only beat Mace in unarmed combat. Mace would have beaten him if they ahd used their weapons, but Mace tells Nick Rostu that the only war is for him to fight Vastor unarmed, otherwise the Akk Guards would have helped Kar. Yes, in an unarmed battle Kar > Kas'im. With weapons, Kas'im stands a good chance.
Nebaris really isn't a "legendary sock", he's an annoying sock, true; but "legendary"? Not so much.
Anyways, if you actually checked HK-69's posts, you'd see he offered up some different views, things opposite of what Nebaris said (for example, listing Vader as a good duelist), but as we already know, it was still Nebaris.

1. No.
2. Maybe later, I'm not gonna go through Shatterpoint to find a quote right now. Sorry. Regardless, he throws Mace around like a ragdoll with TK in they're fight.
And Lightsnake is right, Mace says that he doubts he could beat Vastor, even on his best day. He's not talking about just weapons or just unarmed, or even just force, he means overall, he doesn't think he could take Vastor in a full out fight.

1. Nice argument, jackass.
2. Well from what I've heard, he's completely self trained, so he'd likely know how to use things such as TK, but a force shield? I doubt it, so until you prove it, I have no reason to believe you, when it's pretty clear you're a PT fanboy, and haven't read PoD.
