Most consistent Ligtsaber duelist
In canon or Legends some Lightsaber wielders perform well under any set of circumstances. What duelist in your opinion has the least amount of inconsistent feats, or seems to have no low showings altogether. How have they managed to maintain their record, whether by skill, physical advantages, or being unrivaled by others?

It's possible, but most would disagree. His performances are generally a mixed bag, varying from dueling Sidious to struggling with underlings like Sora Bulq or Assaj Ventress. How much of that can be attributed to holding back is anybody's guess.
Mace standing as an equal to Sidious was through his Vaapad amp.

An amp that he would theoretically receive in any of the aforementioned duels. Even assuming that it's mechanics are related to the force strength of the opponent, chalking an entire duel up to the unquantifiable advantages of his form is kinda amateurish.
Not that it really impedes my point either way, given that regardless of physical augmentation, he still matched Palpatine's skill.

Sora Bulq is one the greatest lightsaber instructors in the Jedi Order's history, and was one of the few individuals capable of "mastering" Vaapad (which he also helped to create.)He is pretty high profile.
That's a rather vague terms since several masters are given that title. Still notable accolade though.
Darth Krayt/A'Sharad Hett is pretty consistent, he didn't have any just crappy days that I can think of.Sidious?
Well, he did, but there were reasons for it.
I might say Sidious too, but undoubtedly someone's going to either bring up Luke in DE or Mace in RotS, and I really don't have the patience for another one of those debates.
