Amnesiac Revan is as knowledgeable as a dude with brain damage and not near as powerful as he would become.

But he was still very powerful, and breaking Revan's Force defenses is an admirable feat to say the least.

How powerful, exactly? Because I don't think he took out anyone stronger than Bandon prior to the Leviathan.

Who happens to be the most powerful Dark Jedi out of thousands, and was referred to thousands of years after his death.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.

Malak running away is probably plain stupid writing. Like Vrook running away after Stunning the Exile's party, lol.

Okay, for some reason it doesn't let me quote you directly so I'll just do it manually.

Which isn't the same. When she turned to the dark side, her senses deceived her, as made clear when she inaccurately associated Revan's power fading on the Star Forge when, in reality, it was her own power. As a Jedi, none such limitations are implied, and Malak's power is explicitly stated to have being felt by Revan and co. approaching them on the Leviathan, meaning they have something to gauge Malak's power next to that of their own.

Is there proof for this or is this based on logic and deduction? It seems believable enough, but we can't really know. Senses can also deceive a Jedi.

It's not a might. It's a definite. You're reaching for a straw that literally doesn't exist.

It may be.
It's possible.
Could be.

"Carth and Bastila are left almost helpless, while you bear the brunt of Malak’s strikes; try to attack from afar. After he causes enough damage, Malak returns through the blast door, and seals it behind him."

Besides the above, which heavily suggests Revan was outmatched in melee combat also. erm

Meh, I'm not convinced. It doesn't say Revan was losing or that he couldn't hold up against his strikes.

As I've said, not that it really matters. Malak's best feats other than showing Force superiority over a Revan that wasn't even the most powerful incarnation in the game, are not that good.

Also, you can't say he basically beat a Revan who had slaughtered the Sith Academy and 2 Terentateks, because even though the Leviathan encounter was right before Revan went to Korriban, it's very clear that his power was very rapidly increasing, considering he only went to Korriban before heading to Lehon and the Star Forge. In reality, Leviathan wasn't mid-game Revan. He only had Korriban to go before the last mission.
