Two of the best warriors of the PT jedi order, seen as being at roughly the same level of power. Takes place in the jedi temple training room, as seen in the ROTS VG. Who wins?
Kit's not getting enough credit here. Kit was almost as good as Obi-wan and Obi-wan would definately take Plo Koon. Oh, and Kreiger, Plo Koon does not use instakill lightning.

Plo wins. Plo > Qui-Gon in his prime (I don't wish to debate this again, though, if you disagree whatever) > Qui-Gon (TPM) > Kit (close, though). So overall Pllo wins, it's not super close but it's no where near pwnage. Plo just has a little trouble, though.

How is Kit so superior with a saber? Plo was a master of Djem So, which we all know as an extremely aggressive form, plus his species is known for extraordinary strength. All working in his favor. I know Kit is better than people give him credit for, but i think Plo is just too much.
I think it was in some insider issue, but I don't know if that's what he was referring to. However, I have never heard of the Kel-Dor being known for their strength. I don't think that's true.
DarthSith, when was Plo decided to be stronger than Qui-gon? I know I was gone for a long time, but by when I left for a while we had decided the opposite. I can't see it changing that much.

Kit was superior to Obi-Wan in Cestus Deception, but that was like a year after AOTC. I honestly never knew what the big deal was about Plo, but in one of those Clone Wars Adventures cartoons, they work together. Plo saves Kit's life when Kit gets hit from the side. This fight will be close, but I'm going with Plo. He was on the Council for longer, probably more so because of his fighting prowess than his wisdom.

Plo has never been stated anywhere (I have the Issue 62 article) to be a master of Djem So. Some fans guess that based on a Dreamcast video game, which is far from definitive. There's absolutely no reason to use that as evidence (and that's the only evidence).

Well, I did say that I didn't want to debate this again, but Maul regardes Plo and Mace as great warriors and doesn't mention Qui-Gon at all. Yeah, he could just have given examples of great warriors, and just not mentioned Qui-Gon, but Maul also admires Plo's unarmed skills, Djem So skills (apparently it says Plo uses Djem So in Shadow Hunter) and just admires him as a warrior. Maul actually admiring a Jedi, even if all he admires is their fighting skills, is saying something. This, IMO, puts Plo above Qui-Gon, or, at least, above Kit.
I know you didn't want to debate this, but I just have a thing to say...
Could it also be that he likes Plo's "style" (not saber style that is). That he is a more martial jedi, doesn't use negotiation as a tactic but rather goes out to fight? He liked his combat skill also, but he could have dragged up half the jedi order if he wanted to, or he could have lacked knowledge about Qui-Gon. I just don't see how this puts him above QGJ.
