Sora Bulq vs. Darth Nihil

And that's precisely why I respect Nihl and Wyyrlok, but not Talon.

I wouldn't really say he did very well. He just didn't get annihilated instantly. But I wouldn't say Bulq did any better in raw sabers against Mace than say Grievous did. The Count on the otherhand trounces Grievous all day long.

Mace never had an edge through sheer lightsaber prowess, though. Sora blocked all of Mace's strikes in a fairly long duel, which is quite impressive, considering Mace's status as a prodigious duelist. As for Grievous, the only time he ever pressed Mace was in Labyrinth of Evil, wherein the Count admits that the cyborg had made him work for it in previous sparring sessions.

+ Bulq and Mace worked very close together to create Vaapad, it wouldn't be a stretch that they know each other's moves really well. And we've seen how much of an advantage that gave Kenobi even when Anakin was the vastly superior swordsman.

I'm not really sure of that. Anakin and Kenobi had been sparring for a literal thousand hours whereas such an intimate relationship between Mace and Sora never was revealed. More than that, both Mace and Sora are masters of multiple forms (Sora actually mastered them all), so they were definitely capable of switching it up.

Sure, but Mace especially says he made Vaapad to cover his weaknesses, so without Vaapad I don't think he's quite at the level as he is with, and Sora knows how to defend against Vaapad better than, well, anyone else.

Still, Vaapad is the style he's best and most focused on. Someone's always going to be a bit weaker out of their main, aside from the very rare case of someone who truly specializes in none (which is... Sidious, and... I'm having trouble thinking of others!).

I highly doubt Palpatine is a generalist, he seems to always use heavy Ataru elements in his fights, though I'm positive he uses a hybrid form as Niman and Juyo elements are also present in his technique.

Revan, and Even Piell specialize in none.

I always saw Niman and Juyo as being the most prominent in his fighting style.

I believe he also said Revan was a master of all of them however. To Legend iirc.
