This isn't a tiering thread by any means, but for EU characters its always nice to have a general idea where they fall in terms of skill. Strictly for dueling ability and based off of feats/accolades, where would your favorite duelist fall in comparison to other duelists from other eras. If you had to compare the character to another from a different era, how close would you rank them based on their showings? Who are some duelists you think are just generally hard to rank?

I think Bane is probably similar to guys like Kyle Katarn/Corran Horn/Ki Adi Mundi/Qui Gon Jinn in terms of lightsaber skill. He's beneath the heavyweights but could probably give them a decent fight before dying.

I honestly think that's a pretty fair assertion. I honestly think he could conceivably win a duel with any of those guys, but he couldn't take anyone a step above that.
