He curbstomped two MagnaGuards before they could even clash blades with him, was noticeably superior to AotC Kenobi years before Kit's prime in RotS, is by reputation and canonically one of the most skilled duelists the Jedi have ever produced, and one of the most skilled duelists in his Order (which is full of skilled duelists), and Mace selected him to fight Palpatine. He's generally just regarded with more skill than Gnost, and featwise I'd say he edges Gnost out.
It's a great fight, but I don't have Gnost quite on Fisto's level. He's solidly ahead of someone like Jinn but only approaching Fisto.
Out of pure curiosity, what has Gnost done to put himself ahead of Kit in your mind, Legend?
Originally posted by ILSGnost-Dural has the accolades too. He received high praise from Satele Shan multiple times, his skills were fabeled even among the Jedi, and he is just generally referred to as one of the best Jedi of the era.

Satele didn't ever compliment his combat skill, aside from saying he shouldn't be "underestimated" (your thread gave no context to that one), and that he's got decades of combat experience. Which is all well and good. Kit's been regarded by his contemporaries, namely Windu, Kenobi and Ti, as one of the strongest duelists of the era and in history. Not saying that a comparison of accolades is the be all and end all, but Kit's are definitely better.
