Well circa TPM, she very well may be. He's not the Vaapad god yet.
Unless this is also TPM Depa, in which case she gets curbstomped at #1.

i know this has been argued a lot but didnt mace say in shatterpoint that depa's bladework surpassed his own or her vapaad mastery or something akin to that?
I think he said something tho the affect that parts of her swordplay had surpassed that of his own. However, there are two issues w/ that (paraphrased) statement. One, Mace has shown himself to be quite modest when referring to others in relation to himself. Two, even had parts of her bladework surpassed his own, this doesn't necessarily mean that her swordplay exceeds his in a full blown combat scenerio.

Jinsoku: Simply because we have only seen Depa fight a severly wounded Mace Windu. That is her only feat. She is powerful, and she would take Tinn if it were a vs. match, but she has just fought and killed 5 opponents in a row. Fatigue or perhaps injuries gets to her, and down she goes.
1. So we never got to see her and Mace take out the "circus" or whatever? The reference he makes in SP to fighting an individual AKK dog made it sound like it was in a book.
2. The Depa that fought Mace was not at peak. I will be disappointed if she is never shown anywhere else.
in that case: loses to mace and yoda, toss up with Ki-Adi,
Honestly, she might lose to all the masters, she wasn't considered master level for some reason, right?
Just because she uses Vaapad dosn't make her OMG UBER!!11!!1! TInn was regarded as one of the most celebrated Swordmasters in the order. I also would agree that Tinn takes her down.
