In the Force, certainly. Sidious PROBABLY qualifies as a rank 10 Duelist as well, though I'm not sure we can prove that, or if he just has that on rep due to his I AM THE DARK SIDE thing he's got going on.
I mean, if you put Yoda in Sidious' position, with the same 4 guys coming after him, could he have killed them with his Saber skills?
That's the key to determining if Sidious is a rank 9 duelist or a rank 10 duelist. Could Yoda have taken out those save 4 guys? (including Mace?)
I originally had Savage in tier 7, but lowered him per request for ILS as he said his skill level is actually quite low. I'll raise him but only if you talk it over with him. I will move Gallia over though

They're all similar in skill, but in the force I guess Luke might be better. Will raise him in a bit.
Are we sure Yoda and Caedus rise to the level of 10s in lightsaber?
I think they're 9s, not 10s.
I do know Yoda vs. Caedus is a dead draw, due to my thread on the subject. Of course, that was an all out battle.
But to rise to the level of a 10 in Lightsabers, you need to be able to beat Mace and the B team by yourself. Luke can do this with lots of room to spare. DE Sidious is stronger then his ROTS self and does it almost as well.
If Caedus or Yoda can win, even with difficulty, they might rise to the level of a 10.
Originally posted by |King Joker|He would be higher on the overall list, but he's formidable as he is primarily because of his strength, skill being a secondary fighter. Obviously he needs to be pretty skilled to do what he does, but IMO six tiers cover his dueling skill while his strength pushes him up to contend with tier 8's like Ventress and Koon. But in sheer skill, he's a 6.
Savage is very low on the dueling tier. He should at least be mid-high 7.
