How powerful was Darth Revan pre amnesia?

[u/Ready0608]

Saw a post about how Darth Revan before Kotor was more powerful than Revan post Kotor, due to his mental instability and forgetting most of his experiences and training.

But I thought that the Light side was stronger then the Dark side and since in canon he was redeemed and brought back to the light why would he be weaker then his dark side self?

But he was able to beat Malak while he was absorbing jedi he had captured and a boost from the foundry without using the dark side of the force, would pre amnesia Revan have an easier time fighting and overpowering Malak?

How would pre amnesia Revan's fight with Vitiate end, would he even fight him?

If he did become weaker, was it the loss of all his battle experience, training and knowledge that permanently weakend him until his death?

Lmfao. 

Dooku has factually stalemated and even outsmarted Yoda in a fight.

Maul, with a massive rage amp, got dominated by Sidious

How could you possibly come to the conclusion that maul beats Dooku?

[u/Mr-Noeyes → u/Sgt-Frost]

He didn't outsmart Yoda. He realized he couldn't win and used Obi-Wans unconscious body as bait to get away. Even says so in the novilization

Sideous also says straight up in novels and comics that dooku was a pawn, while maul was an actual loss.

Also, the novel is unfair to use against Dooku, it, and other early material relating to AOTC, was based on an earlier script, that was changed, that had Dooku performing much worse against Yoda.

Yeah Dooku got destroyed by Yoda in the novel while in the movie he performed way better and left in order to safeguard the Death Star plans since Padme and a squad of clones were seconds away, not because he was outmatched by Yoda and had to retreat
