By the end of the book, he has become more agile then when he first got the suit, and has shown a far better force connection, and skill with that connection than Kit has (crushing all the supplies in ROTS, throwing his lightsaber a far distance using the force to guide it, even when a Jedi was hopelessly trying to interfere, and ripping apart pieces of trees unaffected by blaster fire, among many more). He might be able to squeeze by Asajj, if he hasn't accumulated any injuries.
I don't think Vader is use to the suit and the machines yet to really be able to fight at his best. I'm sure Vader had to train and practice fighting differently because he wouldn't be able to fight like he use to so Vader will go down at 5.
In all fairness, Ventress should give him hell for leather. Whilst Vader did adjust to his new circumstances towards the end of the book, Ventress' natural grace and agility will probably confound him to no end in a straight out melee fight.
In terms of force power, I don't him being able to just K.O her or any other of the combantants in the gauntlet (Gamorreans aside) with the force.
The only certain is that he'll get wasted at eight.
I would say he either loses at Asajj or Grievous, just because Grievous is so damn fast, and Vader gets no force, so in my opinion, he gets owned there. I know he gets used to his suit and what not, but he would still be slow, and Grievous is fast as hell, so I would say he goes down at either number 5 or definately number 6.
Don't say it's just "Grievous fanboy" or "major fanboyism" or whatever else you can think of, Grievous was able to take out a bunch of jedi masters and wound Aayla and Ki-Adi, so yeah, he definately fails at him.
Vader at the beginning of the book almost lost to an avg. jedi Master so Ki-Adi would take him. By the end he still has trouble defeating a Jedi Master who has good saber skills but weak Force Skills (Roan Shryne) and Mundi's definately about Roan, so he might take Vader, if not then Kit does.

but no force powers against CW GG....he'd lose. this is ONE time when speed would play a huge factor. he might take a hand or two like OB1, but he'd end up losing...like OB1 would have had he not had that blaster.
I doubt that he could take on Ki-Adi-Mundi in just plain lightsaber combat. If he does, he'll definately go down (without a doubt) at Assaj. It depends really on the location. He only beat Roan Shryne because he threw the planks at him.
