The description of Revan doing this, incorporate numerous lightsaber styles in a single battle, constantly pushing his opponent off guard through unorthodoxy and prowess.
Is similar to Bane and Kas'im. So I think he may have mastered some of them

In that thread you missed to the explain the fact that Revan could utilise all seven forms not just the ones you mentioned
Edit: I saw that quote from Karpyshyn suggesting that he was skilled in all of them, but he hasn't shown anything of note in I, III, and VII that would make them worth my mentioning.

I enjoyed that. A very objective and well thought out view. Was it ever stated that Revan mastered all 7 forms? I find it hard top believe that Revan mastered all of them, but Cin Drallig (the Jedi Battlemaster during the Clone Wars era) didn't. I'm more inclined to believe it's the other way around.

Also Drew stated so

👆 and luckily for Revan, he has shown demonstration in all forms of lightsaber combat. Expect an analysis of his fighting style in combat by Wednesday. That is the one part to that particular blog I created I have yet to create.
B/W this is very well done: http://www.comicvine.com/profile/darthant66/blog/revans-lightsaber-abilities-overview/97613/
Perfectly represents my assessment of Revan's dueling skills.
People foolishly underestimate Revan's dueling prowess. He is damn good in this department and dare I say that he might be able to hang with the likes of Yoda. The key to this level of effectiveness is "command of the Force." A Jedi must excel in the area of "command of the Force" to be immensely competent.
Having immense technical proficiency in dueling arts is not going to be sufficient for a Jedi. At maximum, a Jedi may earn the title of master swordsman with such technical proficiency. But this skill is waste if a Jedi is lacking in "command of the Force" area. Mastery in the Force determines everything.

I did notice an error in your thread however. You said that Revan was a Jedi Guardian then went on to say that the other two classes were Jedi Guardian and Jedi Consular, when it should be Jedi *Sentinel* and Jedi Consular. You might wanna fix that.
That was a very informative thread, DarthAnt66. My only question involves the Makashi picture. Isn't the opening stance a one-handed maneuver? Revan is shown using 2 hands. It was probably just a mistake on the artist's part, though. It confirms that Revan knew all 7 forms, as does Drew's quote. My mistake on misunderstanding your comment on Revan, Kadan.
Yes, it is a one handed.
However, Makashi is the only form to my knowledge to start combat with a hand in such position, so merely placing another hand there is a little difference from the overall fundamentals of the form. My speculation was, based on Malak's odd position, that Revan was in the transfer between the second image and a charge which would use the third image to hypothetically strike a deadly blow against Vitiate, which needs two hands to perform.
