Perhaps on a general scale he is close, but in single combat? Blades, focused Lightning? No.

I'd actually say lightning is their closest point of comparability.

There is no quote that I know of that states this specifically. Even though Revan may have had a stronger connection to the force (as stated by Malak), having fought through the SF as a Jedi (which would attribute no amplifying effects) without a fully restored memory, it is my assumption that Malak (who professed to have grown in power or surpassed Darth Revan) with the amplifying effects of the SF would be stronger than Revan at the time of their encounter.

But Malak lost.

Repeatedly. 😐

Malak lost like terribad. Several times. To an exhausted Jedi in a nexus like setting.

That speaks more to Revan than it belittles Malak. Is this your reason for assuming Malak was weaker because of losing multiple times?

Thats a pretty big indicator of it.

Kootor3 well your entire point was to prove Malak's superiority over Revan which is what people are disagreeing with here.

Revan and Malak were designed to be very close individuals in power (as stated by Drew), hence the difficulty both faced on the Star Forge.

No.....Well yes. That and the fact that everyone else said Revan was more powerful than Malak as well. Seriously. It's not that hard to put two and two together. Malak was a more skilled duelist, but he couldn't compete with Revan Force-wise.

While that is the case, the assertion that Malak>Revan is still contrary to what we saw go down on the Star Forge.

Opinions vary on this one. So fair enough if you feel that way. Like the battle between Yoda and Sidious, in the end it came down to a battle of the force than that of saber skills.

On the Star Forge, I find it actually a realistic assessment that Malak was more powerful then Revan, to be honest.
Some Revanites took merely pieces of the Star Forge and become like nearly-invincible. The amp is just incredible.
Revan having a "brutal" battle with Darth Malak but barely pulling through at the end is how I always imagined it, same as Drew.

Forgive me if I'm not recalling the lines correctly, but doesn't Malak pretty much admit his inferiority to Revan after that fight?

Of course, he lost. In the eyes of defeat and all your power vanquished, it would be hard not to admit inferiority.

Except he lost at least 3 times in a row with Revan having to fight to get to him. He's blatantly inferior.

He lost three times in a row, but like I said, I find the 'wall of light' thing highly likely.
Revan encasing the stasis chamber in light energies, blocking out all darkness (in which a full light-side completion Revan would do according to the Prima Guide) would weaken Darth Malak.

I know everyone is disagreeing. However, I still disagree. Revan was said to be more the stronger of the two. Understood.

Revan would always have the greater potential in the force however, we are talking about a Revan who lost all of his memories and knowledge of the force and had to be retrained in the ways of the Jedi. Even when he gained some of his memory it wasn't everything.

It was Malak who told us that Revan connection to the force was stronger than previously. It was Malak who said that he surpassed Darth Revan. Unless Revan had gained enough of his past memories by the time he faced Malak, I find it hard to believe that he would have reach the potential to be stronger than Malak while being amplified by the SF.

As someone who places Darth Revan above KotOR!Revan, I find it unlikely Malak ever surpassed his former master until he was amplified by the Star Forge, if even then.

What are your views on rating Revan's relative incarnations?

You place Darth Revan above KOTOR Revan, yet I thought you had KOTOR Revan equal to Novel Revan. Did I miss something?

Oh yeah? And Revan knows the Wall of Light technique, does he?

But if you really think Revan weakened Malak through that method, well that really takes away from the impressiveness of the feat.

Then how did he win?

Over and over and over again?
