SidiousIt's very impressive, I'm not denying that, but I wouldn't put Krayt above Dooku in sabers based on that showing, because the knights he killed were featless. I'd say fighting Ventress and two other nightsisters while drugged and blind, is at least comparable, especially considering that Ventress is practically Kenobi's equal in saber combat and is among the best saber duelists in the prime of the jedi order.
Well, similar to that, though not with sabers, young Krayt did once fight through the crew of a Vong ship, unarmed.
Are you suggesting that any physical contact with Krayt results in an instant death? If so, can you post a scan of this happening? Because in his final fight with Cade, it seems as though Krayt had to first gather energy throughout his body and release it through his hands.
His hand was glowing first, yea, but he can do that at any time. It's a powerful weapon in his arsenal.

And Cade/Wyyrlok has done exactly what?
Cade's tossed around a small starship, force-shielded against a giant explosion (base he was in blew up), killed probably dozens of Sith and Sith Troopers (who are strong cyborg force users), fought against quite a lot of named badasses who've engaged in lots of combat themselves (Jedi, Sith, and Imperial Knights, multiple of which have double-digit force user kill counts on page), and much as you'd expect from the main character of a 56 issue series, has a fairly long laundry list of killing stuff with a lightsaber and using strong force powers.
Wyyrlok? He killed the malevolence cultists easily, then, oh yes, killed Darth Andeddu, a sith lord so powerful that the other sith lords of the old empire ganged up to take him on, and Wyyrlok beat him in his own speciality in his own layer.
Dooku has held his own against Yoda, fought as an equal with Mace, stomped Grievous, beaten Ventress and two nightsisters while drugged and blind, stomped AotC Obi-Wan, stomped Quinlan Vos, stomped Tholme, stomped Sora Bulq, is regarded as one of the most skilled lightsaber instructors, is one of the most powerful Jedi in the 25,000 year history of the order and an even greater Lord of the Sith, etc.
Mind you, A'Sharad, let alone Krayt, is only one step down from post-RotS Obi-wan in sabers (you know, the one who beat Anakin who beat Dooku). Someone like Quinlan Vos or Tholme or AotC Obi-wan or even Ventress or Sora Bulq is going to lose against him, and that's just at the time him.
Then he got 30 years of Sith training. Then he fought Abeloth alongside Luke. Then he got decades more of experience and searching out sith knowledge. Then he got rid of his Vong implants, freeing his force power from having to constantly fight them to work unrestricted in the first time in a century, while gaining insight and new powers from having passed through death.
Dooku wins.
Really your arguments do read to me mostly like era-bias.
Btw, I don't think Krayt is necessarily much different in level than Dooku in sabers, but he is clearly top-level, and he's shown more force raw power and more force knowledge and abilities.
