Cin Drallig vs Ven Zallow

Who wins?

Battle takes place in a dead forest.

Zallow imo.

Malgus wasn't that young and inexperienced. At that point he'd beaten Satele, Kao and the Jedi from The Third Lesson.

I'm basing it on the fact that Zallow put up a good fight against Malgus, while Drallig could pwned by Anakin while he was choking out a padawan.

Zallow takes this.

Yeah, Cin Drallig had very low showings despite having supposively amazing saber prowess.

Drallig probably wins. Being the battle master of th golden age of the jedi is more impressive than putting on a fight against Malgus in my opinion.

Equal.

What has Drallig ever done, other than having accolades such as "master swordsman" and "battlemaster of the Order"?

He got his ass handed to him by Anakin Skywalker.

It was a prolonged duel. We see only the tail end in the footage.

Isn't it like one sentence long in the RotS novel? Like, Anakin walks up and hacks him in the shoulder, then it's over?

I don't think so. Besides the game is just as canon as the novel in places it doesn't contradict the film.

I'd say the novelization being line edited by Lucas himself and typically far more in line with the movie would be "more canon" than the game. Specifically since they way the game portrays the fight does contradict the movie (no padawans).

He kills Serra Keto before battling Cin Drallig. Plus she is a Jedi Knight not a padawan.

Movie canon shows Anakin choking someone will defending against Cin's relatively uninspired assault. Then he dies.

Based on what we briefly see in the movie, Drallig wasn't all that impressive.
