That is literally the worst counterargument ever, I think. Any duel can be rendered invalid by "X was just having a bad day" logic.
I just edited. Basically because like you said the T-Canon version fits Lucas's vision better. So if we want to keep believing in EU continuity Bad day is the only explanation really.

Theres an episode of CW where Luminara calls Ventress's Makashi skills amatuarish and sloppy.Of course 5 seconds later Ventress curbstomps her, so take that how you want.
Well you can't trust what they say to each other while fighting. She's not exactly gna say mid-fight "Wow Ventress your Awsome, your so gna kill me"
She admitted to Ashoka later the same episode that she has never fought anyone like Ventress before and it was foolish of her to take her on by herself.

I was just going by Drew logic.
Who’s stronger – Darth Bane, Darth Revan or Darth Vader?
It’s a tie. Seriously, I can’t answer this. First, it’s not really up to me to make that kind of call. Second, it really depends on the situation. You can probably find rule books for various Star Wars role-playing games that will give you stats allowing you to compare relative strength. But from an artistic and dramatic standpoint, this kind of question has no “right” answer. Each character has strengths and weaknesses, and they grow and change as their stories progress. On any given day, at any given time, under any given circumstance anyone can win or lose. That’s what dramatic conflict is all about.
I just watched "Lair of Grievous again". I completely forgot Grievous killed a Jedi Knight.
Dooku said he expected that but to best a true Jedi Master is what would have been a real accomplishment.
I can bet anything if Ki-Adi-Mundi or Shaak Ti were to face GG in this animation they would prevail.
Although I have noticed Jedi usually use Force TK to best him. Apart from Kit Fisto the other Masters have struggled to best GG in a pure Saber fight.

That's a wonderful James Buchanan way of avoiding a concrete answer, especially not one you're qualified to give if canon is a huge mish-mash of evolving material from different authors. This answer also predates TOR and Revan by years. I recall reading it back in 08.

- Author Drew Karpyshyn
Drew used to work for Bioware but also wrote books.
Well that doesn't make sense seeing as the only writers hired by Bioware between 2000 and 2003 were Greg Muzyka and Ray Muzka as well as David Gaider as a freelance. Drew Karpyshyn was only hired by Lucas Game Arts for the upcoming Star Wars MMORPG. Clearly you have the XBOX games made by Bioware confused with the MMORPG designed by Sonly Online Entertainment.
Drew was working with Bioware since before 2000, as he was working on Baldurs Gate II which released that year.
