Revan could be a lightsider, in which case Vapaads advantage is kinda null.
Vaapad still has an advantage, because it enables Mace to tap his own inner darkness and employ it in battle - that is one of the main reasons he invented the form, after all.... Facing a darksider is just an added perk.

Revan is lvl 20. Mace is lvl 19. 20>19 ergo Revan>Mace.
Vapaad: +20% vs darksiders and saving throw of 11 vs all dark side Force attacks.
Shatterpoint: +20% chance of critical
Plus, even though Mace is only level 19, his stats are still pretty much the same.
Seriously though, Mace Windu beat Sidious.

Yeah, but I'm assuming the OP is talking about Revan at the latest point we have seen him, and by that time he's a lightsider, thank you very much.

It said DARTH Revan

You've made the claim that Vapaad is the strongest form even when not fighting against darksiders because it also channels the practitioner's own darkness. If that trait was really that much of a decisive factor then Sora and Deepa would be THE best swordsmen because they already were AMONG the best prior to falling to the darkside.
So no, I'm affraid there is no ABC there.

Eh, what?
Like I said before, if it actually affected your fighting then darksiders couldn't possibly be counted as master swordsmen. Furthermore when you look at the nature of Vapaad (using one's darkness) I don't see how Sora's alignment would change things.
Just to make sure, this is your justification for the statement that there is no difference between Mace Windu's mastery of Vaapad and that of Sora or Bulq? I would so hate for you to endorse a position that you did not fully support.
I will wait for confirmation that this is your stance before I reply.

I didn't say Vaapad is "the strongest form". I said that it retains an advantage in battle, because it's proprietor doesn't need to be facing a darksider for it's inherent 'pros' to still be present.
Imo, it is ABC logic.
