Also, Malgus' lightning feats against Leneer and the other Jedi are pretty impressive,and as Carthage pointed out, he is more skilled.
We know that Savage isn't gonna do great against powerful lightning
and a foe strong enough to keep up with his strength in a lightsaber duel that he would eventually lose.
Indeed? What's the argument there?
Nah, we don't "know" that. Savage would have likely learned from his experience against Dooku, especially with Maul's guidance, as depicted in the cut footage in The Lawless when he deflects Sidious' lightning. Also, not seeing much proof of Malgus having equivalent precision with lightning as Dooku (whose feats with it are better than Malgus'😉, especially not to the point he can drop a far more experienced Savage with it.
Yeah, this argument kind of sucks. Savage has given people just as skilled as Malgus hell (Kenobi and Anakin), has better wins under his record by merit of pure martial ability (Ventress and Plo Koon compared to Ven Zallow, or defeating Aryn by merit of superior Force ability). The fact Savage has also shown better strength feats (propelling Ventress, Dooku, Kenobi and Anakin through the air with the sheer weight of his blows) doesn't help matters when Malgus' main advantage is, similarly, his overwhelming strength.
