Edit: Shit NM it's a fourway.
This'll require some more thought.
Edit #2: I'm strongly leaning Raskta as this is a fourway so the attention won't be entirely on her, it's likely she can eviscerate her opponents in raw sabers before she gets Force rekt, given her insane BM amped speed. If she does get taken out with the Force though, I'm not sure who wins.

Reasons?
Shaak Ti is an all around good deulist and powerful force weilder, but I'm not sure if her force power is better than Satele. Ventress to me is a factor, but she is outclassed here by her competition. So I see it coming down to Satele and Ti, and between them I would probably go Ti, due to her physicality and ability to compete in the force and maybe being slightly superior in sabers but I'm not really sure.
Interesting contest.
- Since Raskta Lsu is empowered by Battle Meditation, she is a legitimate threat to others in this contest.
- Shaak Ti and Satele Shan are powerhouses.
- Asajj Ventress is the weakest link here.
Ventress might be the first to go down in this contest, IMO. We are left with Ti, Shan and Lsu then. Lsu can score a kill through her sheer expertise in melee but she can be stopped through Force powers. Shan is very good at evading attacks and can create enough space to resort to use of her powers to overwhelm an opponent.
Not sure how Ti would behave under the circumstances; would she side with someone or would she attempt to take advantage of a clash between the other two?
Assumptions have to be made. I predict 3 possible outcomes:
1. Suppose that Ti and Shan remove Lsu from the contest; then both have a shot at victory.
2. Suppose that Shan and Lsu remove Ti from the contest; then I believe that Shan will win.
3. Suppose that Ti and Lsu remove Shan from the contest; then Ti have a shot at victory.
Satele. Ventress would probably get taken out first, not just because she's the weak link but also the Jedi would probably want to remove the one Dark Sider first. Then it gets hard to decide. Lsu could potentially overwhelm Ti with a melee attack and her BM amp, but I'm not so sure she'd take out Satele. Satele's consistency with being able to evade attacks and incorporate Force attacks/use in stressful situations and the speed at which she can do so would give her the edge over Lsu. If Raskta went after Shaak Ti then Lsu'd probably take the win. I personally haven't seen anything Ti's done in terms of using the Force in combat that could thwart a direct melee assault. Her Force powers are definitely a threat, however, I don't personally see her being able to utilize them against Lsu unless used from a distance and when not engaged in combat. Most all of the showings I've seen from her needed to be charged and channeled thoroughly before unleashing them to any effect, and thus I don't see her being able to best Lsu. Ultimately, if it came down to Raskta and Satele, Satele would take it for sure. If it came down to Shaak Ti and Satele, it would really depend on the setting. If Lsu went after Satele, then it might be a win for Shaak Ti. Satele would have to put some effort into fending off her BM amped saber assault and manage to use her Force superiority to win (which is the most likely outcome). Ti could use this time to ready a Force attack that could potentially overwhelm either survived of the encounter. Satele might be able to defend herslf or evade the attack but idk. If she evades it then she could take the win with her faster and arguably stronger Force attacks. All-in-all 'bout 50/50 chance for either in that case. If either can eliminate Lsu from a distance without engaging at melee, then it would probably go to Satele, again, because of her arguably superior Force abilities. Ultimately unless Satele is somehow taken out before it comes down to the final two, she wins.

Ventress pressured Mace in a duel, defeated Kit Fisto (one of the greatest Swordsmen produced by the Jedi order), held off DD Vos, and repeatedly challenged Kenobi/Anakin in duels. Raskta has only reportedly beaten featless Sith.They aren't even in the same league as duelists.
Ventress stomps her
I said debatably Raskta who has herself slaughtered armies of Sith and held off and pressured orbalisk Bane by herself. This was on a stated potent DS nexus so I look at any advantages the battle meditation would have give given her and see them as canceled out because of this. This is included for Bane considering battle mediation is shown to weaken enemies as well as empower allies.
I would however say that I agree that Ventress is the superior duelist to Raskta or anybody else here for that matter.
Yeah the more I look at this the more i see it as being Ventress's game. While Shaak and Satele are powerful enough to land a force attack on her I doubt it would do much more then prove a temporary distraction. Her skill advantage is just too much and Raskta her only real opponent should likely be taken out by a force attack from one of her 3 opponents.
