Probably due to lightning or something, Neither really has a telekinetic advantage

But he isn't throwing Asajj Ventress around by the legs or beating Plo Koon while being shot at by a squad of clones. Not seeing how his lightning is more potent than dozens of blaster bolts either.

Cause Satele in Hope proved her potency in combat and Malgus beat her. Since we know how vastly superior Maul is to Savage, I think placing hope Malgus above him isnt irrational. I really doubt Maul could take out the Malgus who defeated Satele that easily.
Dude, Savage never really displayed any impressive skill in dueling. He usually overpowers his enemies with superior strength and that won't work against Malgus. Since Malgus has the lightning advantage and is more skilled, I don't see how Savage would defeat him.
1. Of course he did. You don't defeat Ventress or Plo Koon, or drive back Obi-Wan and Anakin simultaneously on strength alone. That's utterly ridiculous. It contributes a lot, sure, but it's not all he has.
2. Overpower, no. Defeat? Sure. Savage has gone up against and beaten better competition than Satele and has better strength feats than Hope Malgus.
3. His lightning would just piss Savage off, and there's no guarantee he'd land too significantly with it anyway considering Savage is the better fighter at this stage in time.

I'm not saying Savage has no skill. But his main source of power in melee is strength and even in Return trailer, Malgus demonstrates awesome tanking. Every incarnation of him is a beast. Savage won't really have any strength advantage.
Idk, Dooku handled him pretty easily. It was as if Savage had no idea how to defend against lightning.
"Dude, Savage never really displayed any impressive skill in dueling."
1. Same could be said of Malgus by Hope. Look at how he fights.
2. Okay? Doesn't help against a lightsaber.
3. Not seeing how this contradicts my argument.
4. Yeah, he will. Snapping metal binders by flexing, crushing bones in his grasp, throwing Anakin and Obi-Wan around like wet tissue paper, and cracking stone with his strikes before even being transformed, is overall above Hope Malgus' pay grade. His better strength feats come 14 years later.
5. I seriously hope you aren't comparing Dooku to Hope Malgus in terms of Force mastery and potency?
6. Well, in the cut content from The Lawless he holds his saber up to defend against Sidious', indicating he learned from last time. Either way I maintain that Malgus' lightning isn't potent enough to kill Savage in the time it'll take Savage to get pissed off by it, and well, we know how Savage gets when he's upset.

Well you do seem to be supporting Malgus for the win. I wouldn't call anyone's viewpoint irrational, but pardon me if I'm getting the impression that there's a bit of TOR circle jerking taking place at the expense of a character who's already heavily underrated
