Nah. Revan has him beat in the force. After being drugged and out of practice for over a year he manages to easily absorb and release Nyriss's lightning.
Then, in TOR, after mentally battling the Emperor, being drained, and out of practice for 300 years he rips asteroids out of a very low orbit and throws them at high velocities and in a very rapid succession.
Meanwhile, Exar Kun's most potent force abilities, his amulet blasts, are pretty much nullified by Revan's skill with absorb.
1.How skilled is Vodo? Anyway, Exar bested him by simply cutting through his staff not by "out-skilling" him.2.Stalemating Ulic is quite good and easily his best saber feat.
3.Got a source for Exar never losing a duel?
4.Nor was he far better than everyone else. Ulic, as you already pointed out, stalemated him and the tree man (forgot his name) managed to drive Exar off.
1.Best Jedi of his time. And Exar did outskill him do to physical strength, As Vodos stick is stronger then a lightsaber.
2.Nah, beating Vodo is. But stalemating with Uliq is impressive since it was before his prime.
3.He was losing to Vodo in there first fight. But overpowered him by slashing his saber in half with 2blades.
4.Uliq stalemated him before his prime. 6months later was his prime, when he fought Vodo.
Ood Bnar, Kun was beating him before he turned into full tree form then became way stronger.
oh btw, if you didnt catch my post ares:

Eh, im not sure about that. Kun has defeated giant Sith beasts(created by Naga Sadow) with his amulets and has defeated Freedon Nadd(who collapsed a cave) and beat Odan-Urr. But Revan would proabably win in a force battle, but not in a saber duel.
Quote for Vodo being the best Jedi of his time?
He beat Vodo as a padawan before embracing the dark side... Yet, as a Sith, he was unable to overcome Ulic. So, yeah, Ulic seems to be the more dangerous combatant based solely on that. But then, you got Ulic's other feats which are quite impressive. Like holding his own against a Jedi in a duel without being able to use the force.
Kun only bested Ood Bnar when the Massassi intervened.
Edit: Ultimately, Kun does have the more impressive saber feats. No doubt. But, due to the relative lack of knowledge on Revan's blade work, I'm not inclined to automatically give Exar a victory in the saber duel.

1.He leads the council and directs most of the affairs. I would say he's one of the best or the best. Who else would you rank above him?. Maybe Thon, but thats about it.
2.No. In him and Vodos first fight Vodo had the clear edge until Kun overpowered him with 2sabers and physical strength. Then he stalmated with Uliq then 6months later fought Vodo again and won.
3.Yeah thats a good point. Speaks for Bnars skill.

I'd argue that's not a gameplay mechanic as it's a unique ability they gave him that he automatically uses in the duel. It's similar, IMO, how Revan's explosive "death" seems to be canon.
