Idk why people think this. Care to elaborate, beyond "she ambushed Caedus and still died" or whatever argument there is?

Mara=Corran imo, and so do(from NJO+era) Saba, Kyle Katarn, and possibly another master i'm forgetting.
Those 4 are quite even in combat, as best I can tell.

Pretty much anyone who tries to take Caedus on directly not named Luke is going to get hosed. Jaina had to sabotage him first, Mara did her Batman tactics...

The difference is that Mara was batmanning a healthy Caedus, Jaina attacked a weakened one.

She had less circumstances involved than Caedus's duel with Jaina. And that showing with Corran was well before her prime, she's also beaten Nom Anor held her own against Lumiya in a brawl and killed scores of Vong as we'll. She's probably the most skilled here or at least even with Malgus as a duelist imo

Mara was more hindered than Corran in their spar - Corran only tired more quickly, whereas Mara had to devote some of her Force strength to fending off a disease that should've killed her.

Yes. Recall Corran's weakness is TK. When Mara's not sick, she's pretty good at that, and will simply thrash him with the Force. During the duel, she was trying to not die by Vong Virus.

Mara and Corran are more or less equal during their lightsaber sparring. But when Mara goes into her assassinate mode, she is plain more impressive.
Still Corran might be on level with Mara but unfortunately there is not much fights with him. His best feat is engaging 4 Sith simultaneously in Apocalypse and defeating them despite being injured before that.

I agree that in an assassination scenario Mara would have the advantage over Corran, but I don't see either holding the advantage in a all out fight in an open area. We typically don't use assassination scenarios in the forum though, and certainly not in this specific thread, so that's not really relevant.

I've read every book after the Jedi Academy trilogy, and there really was nothing that set Mara above Corran or vice versa. Again, I think that Mara, Kyle Katarn, Saba Sebatyne and Corran Horn are all very even as combatants. The only jedi that were shown to be more proficient than that group, in their era, were Luke Skywalker and the Solo twins. There are others, like Kyp Durron and potentially Anakin Solo that i'm not very comfortable placing, because I think Kyp may be slightly above those 4 masters, but only by a small margin.

Idk enough about Malgus or Sora Bulq to comment on them though.

You've yet to explain how Corran's going to survive Mara's TK. Cause he can't.

Unless the TK kills him instantly he will be able to send all that energy back at her. He may even use a mind trick to get himself a momentary advantage, like Caedus.

Mara TKs him towards her, ragdoll style. And then Corran hugs a lightsaber in flight.

Hugging lightsabers is hazardous to your health.

Very unlikely. What happens is that she will think she has pulled him to her and he is in a certain position, but in reality he is not exactly the way she sees him and he cuts her down with his extended lightsaber while being outside her range to strike.

...You assume Mara, who's dealt with Palpatine in her younger years...

is weak minded enough to fall for that? I mean, seriously, after dealing with Sidious's nonsense, Corran's a piker.

Malgus solo's tbh. He can ragdoll both of them at once.

You must be unfamiliar with Corran's ability. Now I see that it's simply a lack of knowledge on your part. Good day.
