Elite: [B]Your stating the obvious but missing the point which I said earlier, yes has a broad knowledge in the force but as others here have argued that it could very well be rituals which are not relevant in 1v1 situations. Yes Revan probably has a broader knowledge in the force then Kun has demonstrated more offensive techniques then Darth Revan. So it is a hard call to make.
Kotor3: Ok I’m not going to get into ritual argument there is a lot of nip picking going on these threads. I can agree that we do not know if Revan had more offensive techniques.
Elite: Erm, you missed my point that precog, isn't infallible.
Kotor3: No one missed the point Elite, you are nip picking and your reasoning on this is wrong. We all know that precog is not infallible we have more than enough examples. However these examples involved distractions that occurred that made the technique infallible at that moment.
At the same time we have the example of Revan who defeated in personal combat a duel the Greatest Echani who can predict battles months in the future, the determining factor, Revan’s BP ability which surpassed the Greatest Echani. So we have evidence that in a one on one battle it can be quite effective and dangerous.
Elite: It's impressive but it is nothing that others couldn't do or have done on a better scale but the difference is Kun stands a much better chance of blocking it or dodging it all together then primitive non-forcesentive rakatan.
Kotor3: Point is it is something he can use against Kun.
Eltie: I would like a quote that says that Revan started on the front lines.
Kotor3: I cannot find a quote and I’m pretty sure like me you did not expect there to be one. Even if Revan did not start on the front lines he had to have much combat experience.
However here are two quotes to show that Revan did not just advised and would have had an active share if fighting:
"When the Mandalorian threat first arose, Revan and Malak were eager to defeat the enemy of the Republic. But the council thought it best if we moved with care and caution. The true threat, the council feared, had not yet revealed itself. But Revan would not be dissuaded. Charismatic and powerful, it was inevitable many of the Order would flock to Revan's seemingly noble cause. Malak was the first to join his closest friend. Others followed, many of our youngest and brightest, intent on saving the galaxy from the Mandalorian threat."
―Zhar Lestin[src]
"You, Revan, are the single greatest warrior of this age, and any battle we fight will bring me honor."
―Canderous Ordo[src]
Revan was viewed as a warrior. People like Malak would not follow someone who was just an adviser. Nothing suggests that Revan had the respect of the republic before joining the war. Which leaves to reason why would he start off as a general or adviser. Revan noticeable feats came from the Mandalorian war. It was there that he really received recognition from the Republic.
Revan was a highly skilled warrior. He defeated a number of high profile and skilled fighters in his lifetime, including the former Echani general and senator Yusanis, Mandalore the Ultimate, and Darth Malak who was counted among the skilled swordsmen of the era. Perhaps one of his more impressive feats was his single-handed slaying of a pair of terentatek in the depths of Naga Sadow's tomb.[4]
Yes, I did some coping.
