Most likely. I am, however, referring more-so to the fact that Savage has never encountered the technique before and isn't exactly the fastest learner when it comes to dealing with.... unforseen force abilities.
I honestly don't even feel the need is necessary to bring up the fight between Him and Ventress VS Dooku, where even with aid Savage was nullified by the same technique almost more times than I can count. Now, even taking into account this is Force Lightning, Malak's abilities at the time were enough to breach Revan's defenses at the time, at the same time he held Bastila (and Carth) in stasis. Honestly holding that showing above what Savage's conventional defenses are, never-minding his lack of ability to adapt.
