Given Revan had a near infinite fleet of ships that were more advanced then any others of the time I question Revan's ability as a tactician/strategist or how well this translates in regards to Malak's skill as a combatant.
@Syn really doesn't matter before or after, as his prime is basically the same as his base form.
There are quotes calling Malak a master of the dark side, the strongest of all the Sith in the empire. And many more, really, all I'm doing is avoiding getting into a wall of text war.
What do you mean you'll "oblige me"?
Malak's combat ability was compared to Revan's tactical ability. Don't give me that bull.
Now start giving feats for Draay that aren't just killing no names and fighting Carrik.

And yes, he defeated Revan in a duel, and was stated to have injured him, which means he apparently hit him with his lightsaber. Take your L.

There have probably been millions of masters of the Dark Side in Galactic History. I don't know what this has to do with Malak's skill.
Was he stated to be the strongest Sith after Revan had lost his memories? If so I wouldn't say that's all that impressive when Bandon was his only competition.
It means I'll oblige you.
And I question Revan's tactical ability.
I don't really need to when Malak has nothing that's comparable.

Does the quote specify that its talking about before Revan and Malak waged war on the Republic?
Nobody posted it and it's not like I know the context of all SW quotes in existence.
Can you provide evidence that Malak defeated Revan in a duel? It's not in your RT. Also how does an injury translate to an injury by lightsaber? It's certainly a possibility but I don't understand why this precludes Malak from having injured Revan with a force attack.
Nah, having too much fun. You can surrender if you'd like though. 🙂
I seriously don't know how anyone can question Revan's tactical ability. The Republic was on its last legs during the Mandalorian Wars. It had been brought to the brink of destruction (as stated in the Essential Atlas) and then Revan came in and obliterated the Mandalorian armada (a vastly superior force) in under a year, reclaiming practically all of the Republic's territory from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. At the same time he was manipulating his forces and micro-managing them to a point that he knew who and who was not loyal to him, and then arranged for those forces to be trashed under the command of others while he engaged in glorious combat to portray himself as a nigh-godlike leader.
And that's just the Mandalorian Wars...

Thought you guys were referring to Revan as of his war against the Republic as nobody ever gave the context. Aside from that that I still don't know what you want me to do with this information. I can't scale Malak's skill as a combatant off of Revan's tactical/strategic abilities without clarification from an official source. It would mean he's skilled but to what degree I can't say which is why I prefer feats over vague statements.
