He was gaining the edge over the Fifth Brother as far as to completely throw him back with one blow before switching with Ezra to fight the Seventh Sister.
Eh I wouldn't really count that as outdueling since it was more the weapon getting hit and put out of commission and then the Eight being outnumbered. It would be more out dueling, if he actually did out duel the Eight Bro but he didn't really seem to do so imo.
So 1 attack means he was out dueling the Fifth Brother?....I mean before that, they seemed to be dueling pretty well against one another.
More to that, exactly why can't Dass do this? You're acting as if this is something special, the Inquisitors only go off of Kanan and Ezra and sure they improved over time but even with this improvement, they weren't exactly rolling over the Inquisitors, they were just doing a little better each time.
I mean the 8th Brother was a legit nobody one-shot Inquisitor and yet he was still dueling Kanan at length up until his weapon was disabled.
So what exactly is out of realm for Dass here martial wise?

this kanan never beat inqusitors bs i keep hearing is well, bs.
Two blows fair enough. Wouldn't really call it out dueling, just strength powered blows which is nice, but then after we see them dueling before they left.
Didn't really seem like it with the 8th from what I saw. But I mean who is the 8th? He was just there and dueled pretty well regardless, even landing a kick.
Again I'm not really seeing why Dass can't do this given his own standing and showings.

Disabling someone's weapon's a pretty solid indication you're better tbh.
Kenobi cut Maul's saber in half as a Palawan, he wasn't better than him. Even if that the two still had a fight, so the better would just be slightly if you really wanna go there.

TPM Maul did stuff in that fight that shows Kenobi cutting his saber in half was the exception not the rule and proceeded to beat him.
Eighth brother simply got driven back and then had his saber disabled.
Bunk comparison
And yes landing physical hits requires bypassing someone's saber guard which indicates martial superiority. Said indication can be rendered moot if your opponent is also landing hits. And when you're landing hits while you have one arm off a cliff tossing a boy between parries, you're prolly better.
But that's not what happened, 5th brother failed to land anything in return despite favorable circumstances

1. Literally the only opponent potentially worth anything who Daas faced outclassed him despite a strike team of folks being assembled to take them down.And said opponent has nothing suggesting he's>inqusitors.
An opponent who was noted with a reputation with a blade, an opponent who was a full fledged Jedi Master, those being at the top of their craft within the Order, outclassing Jedi Knights and Padawans who are also impressive in Legends.
Also how has he done nothing to suggest he is? He fought two Jedi Masters at a time said Masters would be far more knowledgeable than the Canon Inquisitors and more skilled, while also fighting against others who were also trying to get him, he survived Order 66 taking down his Clones when other Jedi who were taken by surprise couldn't, he then also took down another squad later.

Ok and Dass can't do this because...why? Cause he certainly has shown great physical prowess, even incorporating the Force into his attacks and that spinny saber shit is the dumbest thing ever.
In fact as I recall reading, the Inquisitors used them to make up for their lack of skill. This might not apply for the GI, but the others certainly.

Being a master in of itself is utterly meaningless. If anything, being an inquisitor, who's specially trained to hunt down force sensitives survivors of order 66 is prolly more impressive anyhow

Yea your assertion that simply being a jedi master places you above dudes who can lift and pull freighters in the vaccum of space and close blast doors, who have avoided being instastomped by Ahsoka, someone who gets multiple levels of direct scaling over one of the most skilled sith lords in history is laughable.Being a master in of itself is utterly meaningless.

Except I didn't say that. I was responding to your thing about Dass' opponent being meaningless, when he wasn't.
How is it meaningless exactly? What does a Canon Inquisitor have compared to a Legends Jedi Master in terms of accolades and scaling without resorting to actual fights?
What...they hunt down Jedi and Force sensitive babies? They were trained in the ways of the Dark Side?
Because that's all they really have as far as personal goes.
But it appears neither of us is gonna budge on this, so I'm willing to agree to disagree about this whole thing.

On the other hand inqusitors have vastly better feats and demonstrated power than your run of the mill jedi master

Believe what you will, lets just agree to disagree yeah? Cause we clearly aren't gonna convince one another here and going round and round like a merry go round is gonna get boring fast.
