Legends Vader, after getting his skills down pat for two decades, was on par with Kenobi after having his skills decrease for two decades.
Fast-forward three years into the future, and Vader's having a legitimate challenge against ESB Luke, so I'm not seeing a significant increase.
Kun, no question. Revan beats Vader too, BTW.

We also know that ESB Vader advanced tremendously in terms of lightsaber combat compared to ANH as per the TESB novelization while in RotJ he was described as being "in his prime". That Luke provided somewhat a challenge for him could as easily be attributed to his enormous potential and raw power while there are also sources that indicated he was playing around with him.
