He was losing to a Vader who was clearly holding back in skill, and in the first part of the fight was only testing him and fighting casually. Starkiller even admitted that he could only stalemate that version of Vader AT BEST. And I don't see what advantages Starkiller had. He certainly wasn't exausted considering his incredible stamina, since he was able to stay 13 days without sleeping or eating, drawing on nothing but the Force to sustain himself.

How do you know Kota was mediocre? Laughingly deflecting lightning with bare hands is not a small feat.
I meant as a duellist. In terms of Force use, he is a powerful Jedi Master, and I would actually put him in Obi-Wan's class (don't know if he is better or worse than Kenobi, though).

"Kota was a shitty lightsaber duelist despite being a practitioner of the lightsaber combat form Juyo. Unlike most Jedi, who hung their lightsabers from their belts, Kota kept his in a sheath on his back. Despite being trained in the most aggressive of the seven forms of lightsaber combat, Kota preferred to adopt a defensive stance in combat, using the Force to protect himself until he could launch a counterattack as he was not fast or skilled enough to compete with above average duelists."

um, Who has TFU 2 Starkiller fought that puts him above Bane? I've played the game, read a few excerpts from the novel etc etc..
He hasn't done as much as his original self(As a duelist i mean) He fought with Vader, sure. But wasn't Vader toying with him? hell wasn't the only reason Starkiller defeated Vader in that fight due to his Rage?
I'm saying Bane wins with some difficulty.

Nah Vader wasn't toying with him. They were stalemating, and Starkiller had the disadvantage of trying to get to Juno. It was more frustration than rage, which wasn't helping him.
Anyway they were pretty much portrayed as equals.
