There is, mine! Forgive the amateurish construction. I'm not really a respect thread aficionado.
Short version:
Chucked a huge slab of metal a large distance casually.
Tanked an explosion that demolished a blast door to her face.
Defeated an ancient Sith Lord who was drawing power from hundreds of Jedi Masters at once, when she was weakened from using an extremely draining shielding technique multiple times and had to fight through his army first.
Defeated the First Son, a being powerful enough to mask hundreds of powerful Sith from detection by the Jedi.

No, not when the individual can defeat two of the most powerful Jedi of all time in a game that has events literally not referenced elsewhere. This isn't like KotOR or JA which are noted in guidebooks, encyclopedias, etc. This guy exists in a wish fulfilment tie in game and that's it. The unusual circumstances of his feats and canon isolation beg for more proof.
I've never understood why some people think of Dooku as a top tier character. He's firmly established as not really being in the same league as the best guys in his era, his showings are utterly drawfed by a large number of people in the EU, and he never really had that aura that the great heroes/villains of the mythos possess, that feeling of being extraordinarily powerful/talented. I'd imagine there were hundreds of Force Users that were more powerful than Dooku since the Dawn of the Jedi, and he's certainly not close to the truly top tier guys, and that's excluding the God tier characters.

The Barsen'thor. She's his clear superior in power and overall fighting ability imo.
Oh man, he took on 3 whole Nightsisters while poisoned? Aw man, thats so cooooool.
But the Barsen'thor fought through a capital ship manned by a small army and defeated an ancient Sith lord drawing power from hundreds of Jedi Masters, while also greatly weakened. And after tanking an explosion that blew through a blast door. 😐
The First Son is also easily up there with frigging Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ventress lol. It is true that the Consular lacks dueling feats, but she is still an incredibly prodigy and Force Master. She doesn't need a lightsaber to defeat Dooku.

all kidding aside though, yes she is a formidable force user, but in terms of dueling(which is how a battle ALWAYS goes in the SW world) she/he/it/IDGAF loses to Dooku. but in a force fight the edge - along with the victory go to the Barsen'thor.
