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.

2. His skills being the "stuff of stories" isn't as good as being considered one of the strongest Jedi duelists of the PT Order/history.
3. Plenty of people have decades of experience, so Gnost isn't special there.
4. You're referring to an inexperienced apprentice, not a legitimately noteworthy fighter. I'm sure if Kit raped him and the other apprentice with his Shii-Cho they'd just as quickly check his lightsaber. And it's still not as good as Kit's accolades.
I like Gnost as well, but wanking him so profusely is why people will be more willing to put him below Qui-Gon than as someone who could give Kit a good fight.
Originally posted by ILSI'm not even wanking. I didn't even say anything on this topic until just now, and all I'm saying is that he has good accolades too.
