Yes, and my post went as follows (in reference to Kun winning due to amulet blasts):

4) Yoda has defended against Darth Sidious' attacks of "Unlimited power."
5) Yoda has shown sufficient strength in the force to block one of these amulet blasts.
6) Are you seriously trying to tell me that Exar freaking Kun, one of the cockiest Sith Lords ever, will think to himself "Oh shit! That 2 foot tall elderly muppet, of whom I know nothing about, will crush me! I better try and blast his ass before I get stomped!"And, apparently, according to Sexy (The one worth mentioning), Yoda can "Disarm the darkside of the force in objects," so, Exar is screwed in this fight.

Rots Yoda Vs Exar Kun
1: what is Yoda going to do against him he cannot kill him with the light side of the force unless he suddenly begins to use the dark side ore deployes emerald lightning I don't see how he is winning the first fight. (can Exar be knocked unconsious? does that count as winning?)
2:With the amulet Blast true in the comic it was never used on a jedi, but the power of the amulet was clearly seen and with this he wins without trouble (maybe Exar doesn't think I am not going to use the amulet against him, but this is a battle he goes in there and is going to win by any means nescarry that means using the amulet)
3: Interesting actually the question is what Exar is going to do, and seen how he is such a good swordsman which he is I think he is moving in just to gloot, and that can prove to be his undoing against yoda. (don't know about depowering a sith artifact wasn't shown in Rots and therefore cannot be used as a valid argument.)
4: This one is Yoda no doubt about it, he pwnds him in my openion yoda has a higher speed and agility then Kun and that will be his advantage.
Conclusion: Its is either Kun 3/4 ore draw, but again just my openion.

Well, for Yoda being "uber fast" he couldn't even dodge Sidious' lightning blast when he saw him raising his hands slowly, so if the amulet blasts are in fact instantaneous, then Yoda would get hit.
I've argued with that particular scene before. I believe that it can be interpreted that Yoda was a victim of his own hubris at that point (as displayed earlier in Attack of the Clones, when Yoda himself admits that even "older, more experienced Jedi" have fallen victim to their own arrogance and beliefs in their abilities). Palpatine didn't blast Yoda with a sneak attack, and it was fairly obvious what he was going to do. I believe that he simply didn't attempt to avoid it or deflect it initially because his arrogance limited him.
You'll notice that as soon as the lightning bolts encroach upon Yoda, he drops the cane and makes a legitimate attempt to deflect them - but is overpowered and knocked unconscious.
We see that Yoda is capable of keeping the Emperor's Force lightning at bay (albeit with extreme difficulty) and we see that he does so in situations where Palpatine is quicker on the draw. I can safely conclude that he was unable to deflect Palpatine's lightning due to his own hubris at that point.
But, he was humbled.
The most likely scenario would be a saber battle, and I'd give it to Exar.
He possesses a unique style with a weapon that was pretty rare in the PT times. How badly Bane did against Kas'im when he was using an unfamiliar form in comparison to how well he was doing before is testament to how great the advantage of an unfamiliar form is. I mean Bane basically went from dominating Kas'im in their duel, to getting his ass kicked, bad. Exar Kun's unique form and unorthodox weapon would be hell for Yoda to deal with.
Exar Kun's strength was pretty insane as well, given that he was actually able to swing a weightless object and break Vodo's stick through pure impact alone (Vodo's stick was resistant to the cutting power of a lightsaber, as well as being stronger).
His speed is constantly shown to be uber to the max, given that in virtually any fight he appears in, he moves in blurs. As fast as Yoda is, he does not move in blurs.
He was unmatched in an era with such people as Ulic Quel-Droma (who could hold off extremely powerful darkside driven jedi masters after being cut from the force and out of practise for a decade), Nomi Sunrider (who could wield the saber like a true master after instantly picking it up for the first time) and ancient obscure alien Jedi (such as Vodo). I'd rate all three that I mentioned above anybody Yoda faced (except maybe Vodo), and Yoda still had trouble with most of those he faced, despite his huge age and experience advantages.
Yeah, I'd definitely give the fight to Exar in this scenario.

Given most of it to Kun but Yoda at this point of time has also done some quiet impressive things, as a jedi beinging capable of stalemating the witches of Dathomir, I think that is quiet impressive those witches was strong enough for palpatine to be afraid of them.
