Baas is certainly the strongest of his era. Mace? Number two.
Still think it'd be a good fight. I'm torn. On the one hand, Baas got pwned by Kun . . . but, on the other, Kun is a good step or two above RotS Sidious in my personal opinion . . .
Eeeeh...................
You actually made a good thread, in my opinion. I've gotta think on it.
You think Baas got pwned by Kun. I think it was pretty close. Kun was never actually able to outduel Vodo and break through his defences, he had to use his phenomenal strength to break his stick. My interpretation of the duel was that Vodo was doing better, but it is just my interpretation and it is hard to interpret fight scenes from a comic.
He was able to make his stick able to withstand the cutting power of a saber with the force. He was able to contend with Kun in a battle and was a slightly better dueler imo. He mastered the force blocking technique. His teachings were considered one of the most valuable pieces of jedi history by The Disciple.
What has Vodo done that is impressive except being killed by Kun? Wouldn't Mace physical strenght be equal or even beyond Kun's? Wouldn't Mace be as surprising to Vodo as Kun because they both had invented their own styles?
I think the fight might be good, but Mace could probably crack his staff like Kun did...

We clearly don't see it all. A fight doesn't consist of 2 or 3 punches each, and look at the lines they are saying. Do you think they can talk for that long and still only deliver a single hit? We don't see enough to figure it out....
Besides, it may have been because Kun was going offensivley against him and he had to defend. Like when Anakin performs a flip during a battle in ROTS doesn't mean he is using Ataru....

Hence why I said that Vodo 'seems' to utilise a defencive style. The evidence is pointing in that way, and it probably is but there is no way you can truly tell from a comic book.
