1. Among the greatest warriors of the Empire
2. Outdueled Kao Cen Darach
3. Outdueled Satele Shan
4. Tanked heavy firepower on the battlefield (including missiles)
5. Endured a blast of power which shattered the cliff even after sustaining injures from a grenade explosion earlier
6. Defeated a Jedi Master (powerhouse) who could collapse buildings with his telekinetic abilities, and also happened to be a highly skilled lightsaber combatant
7. Choked a Jedi to death while contending with (6.)

Issue is that Hope trailer seems to promote Satele Shan and Jace Malcom. It depicts a scenario in which Darth Malgus got overwhelmed. However, people mistake this loss for lack of competency and power on part of Malgus.
Malgus (even as of Hope) can handle Darths Nihl and Talon combined. Adding Lord Vindican to the mix, Team 2 absolutely wins.

BS is thinking that the weakest version of Malgus could beat two fighters with more feats at once lol
Darth Nihl is the toughest member of Team 1 so I shall consider his showings for comparison. He is among the greatest warriors of his era, killed some Jedi, wounded Wolf Sazen, choked Cade Skywalker to submission at one point, and gave Cade Skywalker (stronger incarnation) a good fight at another point. Impressive.
But Malgus have relatively superior showings and hype even as of Hope.
Thank you.

Oh. this is hope Malgus.He's less skilled than Nihl (at this point), but he could probably tool Talon with the force.
I doubt Vindican would last that long though
Darth Malgus is less skilled then Darth Nihl (at this point) based on what?
Have Nihl outdueled any master swordsman? No.
Have Malgus outdueled any master swordsman (as of Hope)? Yes.
Malgus - even as of Return - was among the greatest warriors of the Empire.
Simply put, Malgus have superior showings with a lightsaber.
