Good God Lightsnake I don't know if it's out of love or loneliness or whatever but responding to absolutely everything I say really is quite unnecessary, and if you're really that desperate to talk to someone, Leland Chee's only a mailbox away.

Really Lightsnake, considering the fact that you literally burst into tears as soon as Advent started being slightly condescending with you, I thought you were at least someone I could have a serious discussion with without it getting so hostile. It’s been a while since we’ve spoken, and I was hoping we could go back to being MSN buddies. I guess not.
Considering Luke uses a style just as unfamiliar
Considering Luke received starting training in the traditional seven forms by Yoda, and further training later on, again in the traditional forms (that date back to Exar‘s time) via the Jedi Archive transport, all I have to say is: Ups!! You Lose!!!
and Exar got his style and weapon from a holocron, WRONG!
Out of Universe established fact trumps in-universe bullshit, Wrohdg[/quotfe]jmd!!
Against...Sylvar. Someone with no great feats whatsoever besides 'kill some Massassi.' WOW!
Your lame and unoriginal attempts at sarcasm don’t refute well made arguments. The fact of the matter is that they were Force Sensitive descendants of the Ancient Sith, alchemically enhanced by Naga Sadow (arguably the greatest alchemist of the entire mythos) to guard his secrets and combat Jedi. They were directly stated to be able to use the Force with skill and precision. Defeating three of them in seconds without the reach or cutting power of a lightsaber is highly impressive, and you attempting to pass it off as an average feat is really quite sad.
As opposed to the guy who decimates an army of elite warriors with notihng more than saber ability
Yeah Lightsnake, we all know large blocks of text generally tire you out and send you off to sleep, but please, try to listen and pay attention. And if you can’t do it for yourself, do it for me. Nobody’s comparing Luke to Sylvar, or Ulic "Cut off from the Force, out of practise, physically lacking, holding back" Qel Droma. We’re comparing Luke to Ulic “In Practise, Master Swordsman, Dark Side Driven, Powerful Sith Lord, Amulet Wielding, Dark Side Rippling, Fighting To Kill, Physically solid" Qel-Droma.” And the comparison’s not a good one for Luke.
Sylvar was an 'elite' Jedi. He still uses this argument.
He lists established facts, yes. She completely outclasses fellow skilled and powerful Force Users in the form of the alchemically created Massassi, as well as the likes of Oss Wilum (when she able to completely shield her presence from him and sneak up behind him) who himself had been handpicked for numerous elite Jedi missions. I’d say that qualifies her as elite, though if you’re going to argue semantics don’t bother.
Someone holding off-not defeating,
In part out of choice, as evident by the fact that he was purely out to block her attacks.
but blocking a few blows from- and running away from
Please learn to not make shit up.

He competed with her in numerous saber locks, was able to go toe to toe with her and defend himself for most of the battle, and was only seen to be running away once (in a manner similar to when Darth Maul runs away from Obi-Wan in Episode One to regain his composure) throughout the entire fight.
a mindless berserker
That she was a mindless berserker remains completely unsupported, and even if she was, it’s not like Ulic would have exploited it. He was fully on the defence, out of choice. Her attacking wildly or mindlessly would only truly work against her if he was willing to exploit it by going on the offence. He didn't. That being said, attacking with the darkside, whether mindless or not, would only ever add to the ferocity of her offence, which in itself would add to the difficulty in defending against her. And Ulic did it remarkably. For a guy of his position it speaks wonders for his natural gift with a lightsaber.
outclasses the guy moving so fast he can't even be seen
Again, stay awake, and perhaps have a red bull or two. We’re not comparing Redemption Ulic Qel-Droma to NJO Luke Skywalker, just like we’re not comparing ANH Luke Skywalker to DLotS Ulic Qel-Droma. Your Strawmans are as ridiculous as they come.
Lying idiot.
Please. If all you’re going to add to your ridiculously fallacious arguments are nothing but unloving words, at least do it well, and come up with some new material, because you’re making Sexy look like a creative genius here.
Luke was able to take on Palpatine, described as a master of the saber and as of DE was described as 'even more skilled with a Jedi lightsaber' than he was with the Force. Just stated to be considerable indeed.
1. Luke under those situations was not fighting under his own level of ability, but in a rare state of being completely one with the Force: a state that can’t be substantiated and quantified with respect to his regular level of ability, and as such, no comparison can be formed to his anomalous state in his fight with Palpatine in DE and his regular level of ability in the NJO series. No point can be made.
2. That he was more skilled with the lightsaber than the Force really doesn't mean much at this point. I mean sure, he was capable of a bit of power, but his control of the Force isn't shown to be anything approaching considerable at that point.
Translation: I can't argue that, so let's downplay Luke elsewhere!
I would follow in suite, but I don’t possess a Wastemanulator.
And?
Owning you is getting boring?
You just admitted Luke>him in the Force by far
“Greater by no small margin” =/= “Greater by far.”
...You big coward!
All but the second accomplished with no skill or power of his own. And?
The first, done via his own power amplified by the amulets. Whether the amulets added power is naturally his or not is irrelevant. It’s something he’d possess under the conditions of this fight.
The second (by far the greatest display of power), as I said, done effortlessly in an instant, under his own amulet aided level of power.
The third, done -- again -- under his own amulet aided level of power, to power the Sith power tools that would be used to power up the ritual that would tear his spirit from his mortal body.
