I agree that the strongest have more chances of victory and this is why I have stated that Sidious have more chances of victory against Traya but it will not be an easy fight at all. And we have also seen that one effective power or technique is enough to bring down a powerful person on to his knees. Mace did it with his Vaapad. Traya can also do some serious damage with her Drain.

Just by stunning him?
You forgot the Force Whirlwind part.

Because had revan threw up a defence stun wouldnt have worked and because he got hit aswell. Yoda also didnt throw up a defence to sidious thus he ended up like revan
I can't say for sure that Revan used a defensive ability at that point so I will not speculate. But I will give you a hint that even if you use "Force Immunity" during that fight, Malak still manages to Force Stun you.
And Revan was actually stunned by Malak during the fight. While Yoda was not fighting Sidious when he got hit by Sidious's Lightning attack. So there is some sort of difference in both the cases.
Still I think that Revan's limited focus was also partly responsible in this failure, but let us not forget that Malak was a very powerful and experienced Sith Lord at that time and Revan also had limited training to use against him.

I do not consider "recklessely charging in to dangerous fights" to be some sort of military tactic to turn the tide. Malak was obviously using his personal abilities in the battles to turn the tide.
There are speculations that Revan was also using the Force to a large extent during the Mando Wars.

I thought revan was the single greatest warrior of his age?
And who I called this? Obviously I was talking about Revan!
When you face a person that powerful, your chances of victory become dim. And Malak was no exception.
Also let us not forget that when Revan again confronted Darth Malak on the Star Forge, he enjoyed following things:
1) All the useful and necessary knowledge and training from the Jedi Council on Dantooine.
2) All the useful and necessary knowledge and training from the Sith Masters in the Sith Academy in Korriban. Revan also again explored the tombs of the famous Ancient Sith Lords and once again studied there secrets and even kept some of the things with him like "the holocron of Tulak Hord" and some powerful Sith Swords etc.
3) His past memories were also returning or recovering.
4) Immense Raw Power (As evident from his success in the massive fights on the Star Forge)
5) And this time, he was now fighting with a clear mind.

Well if he was already choking them, It shows that they could not throw up a defence in time
They failed to counter the Force Choke attack from Malak in the first place. That's why they became victims of his Force Choke attack.

and force choke is slowly squeezing the life out of them and making them lose conciousness which makes them totally unprepared and vulnerable to his next attack which is lightning
Those Jedi were being possibly weakened to some extent by the Choke but Malak was not trying to kill them with the Choke. He held them in a Gripping From, when he was talking to Revan. And those Jedi were not knocked down unconcious as a result by the Choke. Then Malak suddenly decided to show Revan some of his Force moves and he killed one with a powerful burst of Force Lightning and the other one with a Light Saber Throw attack.

Legend please keep this civil. Bastila told malak "Do yo u think torture will work on me" Something like that and he replied to her telling he is just showing her a taste of the dark side and at the same time he was tempting her
I am sorry if I offended you by that comment. Malak was using Dun Moch on her at that time but she was not giving up easily. So Malak started torturing her with his Force Lightning and after that we see her joining the Sith. And Malak clearly said "You are strong Child, but I will break you" and he did so, not with the words but with the torture from his personal powers.

Malak is powerful like i said...
He is very powerful.
And according to the latest news, he is considered to be among the hard hitters of the Jedi/Sith Order in the "Champions of the Force" list along with Darth Bane and Jaina Solo.
His description is like this: "Darth Malak is a straightforward lightsaber combatant. True to his character, his abilities and powers focus on attacking his enemies head on. His high Defense and Attack scores enable him to take on strong opponents, and he can increase his damage through Sith Rage when desired.
Here are some stats comparison:
Darth Malak: 120, 20, 15, 20 (Force Points: 4)
Darth Nihilus: 100, 19, 12, 20 (Force Points: 5)
Darth Bane: 200, 20, 16, 30 (Force Points: 2)
Darth Sidious [ROTS]: 130, 19, 14, 20 (Force Points: 2)
Darth Vader [OT]: 140, 22, 15, 20 (Force Points: 4)

I would also like to place Malak and Vader in that list and they are being verbally fellated by many sources! 馃槢
But like I said before, it is very hard to rank the most powerful Jedi and Sith. And these lists are dynamic for me because things change with passage of time.

Because we didnt see revan try. So are you also saying that yoda was trying to defend against sidious initial attack?
No. Yoda was blinded by his arrogance. Revan was fighting Malak on the otherhand.
Originally posted by Manslayer
Well if kun can spread his attack to stun thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people i think he would rather do it well on one single jedi. Irrelevant to the point so ill drop it here
Accept that Kun never managed to stun the Jedi in the senate. Malak seems to be more proficient in this regard.

Because revan was caught by suprise. As was yoda from sidious
Revan was fighting Malak and was not caught by suprise.
Originally posted by Manslayer
Bastila also didnt expect to get stunned because malak drew out his saber, she was expecting him to strike with the saber. And carth is no force user so he too got stunned
Well! Malak can surprise as well! 馃槢

If you watched the video it took 5 seconds actually and no it isnt a insta kill. Its a force drain
I was talking about the speed with which her Drain
hits those Jedi and not the kill time. And when it hits, it is already too late.
Originally posted by Manslayer
I didnt. I actually proved it wasnt an insta kill. 5 seconds it took to kill them. While it does prove timing is critical. It doesnt disprove the fact that a powerful force user can resist it
Instakill, might not be, but it is Instahit indeed! 馃槃

And they were below the exile in power when the exile was stated to be average.
Exile was got stunned too and fell down when Traya used her Force Wave. This event alone shows that much powerful Traya was.

Just because you are a master doesnt mean you are uber or battle hardened. The jedi masters during ROTS got kicked and killed by clone troopers
Those Masters had fought in
The Great Sith War and Kavar had fought in some more battes as well. And those Jedi Masters also managed to survive the devastating onslaught of Darth Malak on the Dantooine in which Malak captured and killed many Jedi, which is also a feat to acknowledge. Thus this shows that those Jedi Masters were battle-hardened and experienced.
Whereas, many Jedi Masters of PT period were not so battle-hardened and experienced and when the war broke out, may of them became easy victims. It shows their lack of experience.

If it was really an instakill it would touch them for a second and then retract. The only reason why it stuck to them for 5 seconds is because it took 5 seconds to kill them
It touched them in less then one second, however it took a few seconds to kill those targets.
