I already did.In a KOTOR Sourcebook, Revan beat Malak in a pure saber duel, thats how he lost his jaw.
Then again on the Star Forge, ignore it if you want, but in the game, noe of your force powers work on Malak,
which would lead it to believe that Revan beat him in a pure saber duel, as if you try to use force powers, it will fail, every time.

I don't consider moving your arm "super fast!" as proof he's beyond Skywalker's perception. Unless Luke legitimately tried to fight him and could only see in blurs? I doubt that.
Luke specifically said he didn't see him move, and IIRC that wasn't the only time he said something like that in regards to Taalon.
I recall him also physically attacking someone Luke faster than Luke could see.
I just don't see the distinction between this and other instances where Force-users that we know can be tracked by others move in blurs / disappear.
The Windu vs Palpatine fight in the eyes of Anakin and the Kenobi vs Dooku fight are excellent examples.

Never said. Revan, as far as we have ever known, has never done anything in "pure sabers".I just killed Malak with Force Storm, so somehow I don't think this is true.
Except for this isn't true whatsoever.
1. It was mentioned in the KOTOR Campaign Guide, and once indirectly in the Plaguies Novel.
2. Show me a video where it doesn't constantly say "saved" over and over again.
That, to me, merits the inability to use force powers to beat Malak.
If it says "saved", its basically like a "miss" in an RPG, regardless if he takes a bit of damage.

Originally posted by FreshestSlice"No it wasn't" isn't a credible answer when theres clear-cut evidence to the contrary.
No, it doesn't, and no it isn't.You're an idiot. Save throws, when concerning things like Force powers, determine how much damage is taken from attack. The fact that it says save, doesn't show that no damage is taken. It shows all effects from the attack, such as being stun-locked, don't happen. Not to mention, he puts that up himself, and you can take it down with Force Breach to where he takes pretty much all damage you deal out with Force powers. Not that you should be using ****ing game mechanics to make your arguments anyway.
EDIT:
Now, get on about how I cheated and this definitely isn't possible since I've proven you wrong:
Originally posted by FreshestSliceBeing able to beat someone in sabers, doesn't mean it has to say "sabers only".
I have the guide. I read the section where it says Revan and Malak fought. It does not say it is a "sabers only" duel. Now, provide quotes, or stop posting. Also, feel free to cut that picture out. There's no reason to post it twice.
Being able to get past someone's saber defenses implies greater skill with a saber, I hope thats common knowledge.

It does mean he's better in sabers though. Which was the point I was trying to make in the first place.
If he isn't then that would imply that Revan won through luck, or distraction, which isn't implied, and couldn't be done on the star forge, anyway.
Originally posted by FreshestSliceI'm going to assume that for every fight that isn't clear, but when someone wins using a lightsaber, thanks Freshest.
No, it does not.Or Revan attacked Malak with the Force and used the advantage from this to hit him with his lightsaber. Is thinking really this hard for you?
Nah, scratch that, I'm not going to use that logic, because its stupid. You cant prove your point, and it never states that the force was used, just that Revan cut his Jaw off with his lightsaber.
When reading that, someone isn't going to think "Well, he must have used the force! Revan didn't beat him in sabers, its impossible."
Because that'd be stupid when it isn't stated.
