Well actually I'm judging him from four duels. That seems pretty fair to me.

I find this statement ironic after your epic display of biased stance towards your favorite characters.
My stance is one that I've hewn over years of debating these characters. I assure you, I have more logic than bias in my reasoning.

Your assumptions are baseless. Malgus and his Sith Master were no ordinary beings by that time. They were tasked with recapturing of the planet Korriban and they succeeded. You think that the Empire would send some fools to perform such a vital job?
They were in charge of capturing it? It looked to me that they were merely boarding the Republic station.

Read about Sith Inquistors here before spouting more nonsense.
'Regardless of potential, few acolytes succeed in facing the rigorous trials to become Sith Inquisitors. Only the most determined acolytes attain such an achievement, but these Sith are often the ones to watch. Due to their manipulative genius, Inquisitors are skilled at exploiting both their enemies and their allies to further their own personal agendas.
From what I can gather from your link, becoming a Sith Inquisitor is not a matter of power (regardless of potential), but one of determination (only the most determined acolytes attain such an achievement) and manipulation (Due to their manipulative genius). So thank you for the link. 👆

The Sith Master trained Malgus that damn good that he could handle his own in difficult situations. Even Satele was no match for him during that time. Get the point?
No not really. The actions of an apprentice are not those of a master. Malgus clearly outpaced him anyway.

There is hell of a difference between showings of Kao and Qui-Gon in live-action fights alone, you numbskull.
Kao isn't live-action ninny!

We don't need a novel to praise Kao. However, I hope that he is featured in some novels.
As do I. He's quite the badass.
Originally posted by S_W_LeGenD
Yes. That is why he relied on the element of surprise to kill Maul.In comparison, Maglus was much more powerful then the Padawan Obi-Wan by the time he faced Kao and killed the powerful Jedi Master in much more convincing manner.
If you say so. I'm not really interested in Maul anyway.
Originally posted by S_W_LeGenD
The original one was stronger then?
Perhaps, perhaps not. All that matters is that you cannot compare the two.
Originally posted by S_W_LeGenD
Another baseless assumption from you. Just because a doppleganger of Maul gave Vader a hard time, you suddenly put him above Kao? This proves that you are full of shit and heavily biased for your favorite characters.Sorry, Maul does not seems to be on par with Kao.
Not an assumption, merely my opinion. I'm allowed to have an opinion, correct? And if you're going to bash me for making assumptions, do not assume you know my reasoning behind said 'assumptions.'
You are welcome to your opinion. Or to make a thread where we can discuss it more fully.

Here;Malgus fell into the Force, roared, and hounded down the street, his anger lending his speed.
The Jedi held his ground. At twenty meters, the Jedi raised his lightsabers aloft to either side and drew them both down with a flourish.
Too late the rumble of the falling buildings penetrated the haze of Malgus's anger. An avalanche of duracrete and transparisteel crached down on him from either side of the street.
Malgus stood in a pocket under a mountain or rubble, legs bent, the power from his upraised hands preventing several tons of duracrete and steel from crushing him. Dust made his already troubled breath more difficult. He coughed as the words of his father echoed in his mind.
He'd been sloppy, so lost in his need for revenge that he'd failed to properly evaluate the Jedi's power. He's surrendered his reason to bloodlust. But no more. With an effort of will, he contained his anger, controlled it, made it a whetstone against which he sharpened his power. Using the Force, he blew the rubble up and away from him. It fell with a crash on the adjacent buildings. A Force-augmented leap carried him out and over the heap. The Jedi's eyes widened as Malgus hit the street. Malgus sneered and charged.
@ Nephthys
Now what you have to say?
Well now that you've posted it I can see that it appears he did indeed collapse it with the Force. Nice, he might not be complete trash after all. However, it is not enough to say that he was particularly impressive either. He was clearly waiting for Malgus, so he could easily have been building up a large amount of energy to perform the feat, similar to Bane when he collapsed the temple. And given that it occurs in a war-ravaged city the houses could be dilapidated or in ruin. Theres also the possibility that he exhausted himself with teh exertion, thus enabling Malgus to easily finish him. On the whole, I would not rank this on a level with Bane's grandiose feats of power.
Also I find the concept of being impressed by stopping a mere 'several tons' quite laughable.

Here;His breathing sounded like a rasp over wood. His skin stung from burns. A Republic commando has exploded a grenade in his face, and combat with a Jedi witch had damaged his lungs. Lacerations and contusions made a grim mosaic on his flesh.
When he planned to engage the Jedi, the pilot of his vessel said this:
"Return, my Lord? Where are you going? You're seriously wounded."
He was having trouble breathing and his face hurt. Meh, thats hardly debilitatiing.

Ah, excellent. Now we can begin actually debating.

Unlike in the case of Zannah, the Jedi who faced the injured Malgus were prepared to fight the Sith Lord. One of Jedi performed impressive feats during the duel. This is the difference.
Undoubtably. I've never suggested the Jedi Zannah killed were anything but chaff.
Originally posted by S_W_LeGenD
What does this proves here? Those Jedi were shit or Zannah is impressive?I will say both.
Those two Jedi were shit because they are featless cannon-fodders.
Zannah did an impressive job because she killed them when she was just 12 and without formal training.
This is exactly what I intended to get across.

Malgus killed many Jedi effortlessly during his venture in to the Jedi Temple.
A feat easily replicated.
'He leapt forward and cut the first red-robed figure down before he-or she-had a chance to react, a single slash of his lightsaber bisecting the unfortunate opponent horizontally, just above the waist.
......
The assassins fell on Bane again, but instead of repelling them with the Force, he allowed his body to become a conduit, turning himself into a physical manifestation of the dark side's tumultuous power. As he spun like a whirlwind, his blade seemed to be everywhere at once: hacking, slashing, and slicing his enemies to ribbons.
All four assassins died in the attack, though one managed to land a single blow with his force pike before his throat was slit, the wound so deep it nearly severed his head. Fueled by rage and fury, Bane shrugged off the deadly electrical shock like a rancor shrugging off the bite of a venn-bug.'
Notice Bane Speed-blitz on Sith Assassin. Nice.

Even when he was badly injured, he performed very impressive feats and killed two Jedi with his powers. He crushed the windpipe of one, and burned the other with his force lightning.He can contend with Bane on equal footing.
Being able to fight while injured doesn't suddenly elevate him to Bane's level. Bane too was able to perform telekinetic feats while dying from poison. But that doesn't mater. No matter how good Malgus is at taking a beating, it will not enable him to defeat Bane.
