My thing with Caedus (and NJO in general) isn't that I hate him, just that every thread featuring him is an echo chamber of "Caedus wins" without any reasoning given. And when reasoning is given, it's usually asinine and biased. Take that thread, for example. The user I debated with held the position that Caedus was making a complete mockery of Kyle Katarn, and could have deflected his attacks in his sleep. Held that position, after posting the whole fight.
The whole fight, apart from two quotes suggesting that the Jedi were stalemating Caedus, one being from Caedus himself.
As in, he read the whole fight, read those two quotes. Copy and pasted everything from the fight into that thread, and then consciously omitted those two quotes.
I think it's fairly obvious that Caedus is supposed to be the next coming of Darth Vader, and thus a big deal, but I'm yet to see an argument for him that has convinced me of this. He very much needs his own champion, as Revan has Ant, Bane has DMB, Maul has me, and so on. Ant, perhaps, will be that champion.
Until then, I'll pick up where ziggystardust left off and keep pushing Caedus' fanbase into a corner until they are forced to make a good argument for him, or otherwise find themselves agreeing that he is a sub-Grievous duelist.
(Personally, it seems like a good idea to wank the f*ck out of the Jaina fight, given all of the mitigating circumstances Caedus fought with and still managed to stalemate the NJO's Mace Windu, but apparently that takes backseat to a circumstantial scrap with Luke and beating up relative mooks with TK).

That makes sense. Bjt yeah, I see what you mean, the debaters that favour the NJO(including me) usually aren't that good. I would like tho, to debate ith you a bit on this topic, but at first I must read your response to Noobsnowman.
Also, I don't understand the argument you made there:
IIRC, even Luke was several days in the Bacta Tank after his fight with Jacen.
Hmm, wasn't aware of that. I wouldn't mind someone giving a bit more insight on how they dealt with their injuries and the time between the two fights.
Point being, I don't think Caedus was as "immensely hindered" as people would paint him. The proof's kind of in the pudding given how well he did.

There's an accolade somewhere stating that Jedi Battlemasters are masters of more martial arts than most beings know even exist or something.

That's not the one I'm talking about.

Does anyone have the all elusive quote that Windu mastered all seven forms?
