All Kolar has is being called one of the best in the Order's history.
That's a really good accolade...but not in comparison to Malgus/Kun.
The entire TOR era wasn't even established when the quote was released.
Kolar can be in the Top 200 and still be classified as one of the best.
In comparison, Kun/Malgus are among the Top 20-.

There's a vast variance in terms of level of those who can claim just an accolade. It isn't a description that miraculously puts them all on the same pedestal.
Even if Kit and Kolar are on par with them in terms of skill, they would still lose by virtue of being significantly less powerful than Malgus and Kun, like with Bane vs Kas'im.

Then it's too bad this match is sabers only.

Cool, so Kolar is in the top 200 and Malgus in the top 20. Nice assumptions there. Now back it up idiot.
1. Don't insult me and call me an idiot.
You mean like you're doing? Also, I could really care less what you plebs think of me, dude.
2. You are doubting Kun/Malgus are among the Top 20? Wut.
No, I'm pointing out the horrendous flaws in your ridiculous assumptions. Again, Malgus's best feat with a saber was his victory over Ven Zallow--It's impressive because Ven has his fair share of impressive accolades and feats. However, Agen and Kit's feats and accolades are even more impressive than his.
The fact that you deny one of the greatest bladesbeings ever produced by the Jedi Order could challenge Malgus in a duel is beyond me. Sora Bulq could challenge Mace, and he's less skilled than either of these two.

You might need to emphasize the fact that you've never denied that Kun and Malgus [b]could win. You're simply arguing the feats and accolades of the PT jedi are being overlooked due to the rampant fanboyism of Kun/Malgus. Good luck doing that here, lol [/B]
I cannot believe the voice of reason is coming from you of all people.
His performance against Palpatine doesn't affect his own accomplishments at all. It's the core of what makes Palpatine's feat infinitely impressive, that's the exact reason why a lot of people think Sidious could simply blitz almost everybody. I personally don't share this belief though.
To me, the entire sequence seemed like bullshit. My best explanation is that the masters had vastly underestimated Palpatine's speed and ferocity, which is why the last master to be assaulted was also the one that lasted the longest. Realisitically it each of them should have fared better, but what's happened has happened.
