On the flip side, lightning strong enough to stop Kol Skywalker.
And it's not like Nihl is unfamiliar with fighting strong TK users. Uses it sometimes himself (not a lot, but he has TK).
When it comes to sabers, Nihl's beaten Wolf Sazen (as in 'cut his arm off and stabbed him in the chest' level beat) and Talon.

Not, like, high-end ones, he just pushes his foes in combat reasonably often, like when he captured Quinlan.
As far as I remember, he defeated him via force combat & lightsaber skill, not force.
Though there might be another round, and I would like the see that.
*Edit, yeah I looked again, and it seems that happened in the same fight but it was more like *sucker force push though 🙂 Vos didn't even know that he was there.
Kolar was one of the greatest swordsmen the Jedi ever produced, he has littke force showings but he can kick Nihl and KO him and end the match. Nihl has no experience with a master skilled in Martial Arts like Kolar. Kolar is also more skilled as a duelist, he can stab Nihl with his unpredictable dueling style.
Kolar takes this
From my perspective, Agen is a lot like Raskta Lsu in how he's almost completely meele-oriented. He's far from weak in the Force, but from seeing his fights as well as his RPG stats, he appears to use it primarily to enhance his meele skills. I doubt we'll see much offensive Force usage from him other than basic shoves.
There is no evidence to argue or refute that Agen's defenses against telekinesis are advanced, but considering how little Nihl applies such assaults, it's probably not a deciding factor in this fight. I also see Nihl's lightning being of little use here--It can in most situations be stopped by a lightsaber.
The real contest here is a meele battle. From what I've seen, Agen is without a doubt the more technically proficient and skilled player, in regards to both bladework and unarmed skill. However, Nihl's style is more unpredictable, and it appears that he may have an edge as far as physical strength goes as well.
I'd probably side Kolar simply because he has greater skill, and is more controlled and collected, but Nihl does have greater power, is better armed, and has an air of primal instinct about him. It could probably go either way.
None or Nihls force attacks have proven to be decisive in a fight.
One zap was enough to stop Grand Master Kol Skywalker. Strong people can normally take some force lightning before dropping, suggesting it was a pretty strong zap, and it was definitely decisive.

Nihl also has more melee wins, and his weapon gives him reach and leverage.
Oh yea, a thing on the Kolar-is-melee-focused front- Wolf Sazen is almost entirely melee focused. He uses the force almost entirely for sensing and precognition, and yet he's a powerful warrior with kills on his belt against powerful, more force-active/well rounded foes.
Wolf Sazen, skilled, strong, even more melee-focused Jedi Master, was outdueled by Nihl in melee. Throw in more force powers on top...
One zap was enough to down Grand Master Kol Skywalker
One zap from Nihl and a dozen other Sith, yeah.
Wolf Sazen, skilled, strong, even more melee-focused Jedi Master, was outdueled by Nihl in melee.
Kolar completely dominated another Jedi swordsmaster who by this point was a confirmed Form IV master with even more impressive feats under his belt. Sazen isn't in his league, just like he isn't in Nihl's.
and Nihl has shown himself to be superior to Talon.
No he hasn't. The only contest they had was a stalemate.
