*Legends Cin Drallig
*Round 1: Lightsabers only (Jedi morals on)
*Round 2: All out fight
@wolfrazer: The Inquisitor wins! XD
First of all - Cin Drallig was chosen for the Battlemaster of his era from literally thousands of Jedi, with multiple very skilled lightsaber masters among other Jedi Masters that weren't holding any specific office (so discounting Councillors and other people like that). That of course doesn't support any precisely specific level, but obviously supports Drallig as at the very least a competitor of the other prominent duelists without other offices in the Order. That's basically common sense - the most important quality of the Order's Battlemaster is his knowledge and mastery over the lightsaber, so discounting anyone else than a Jedi Master, and discounting those maintaining other positions - Drallig should be among the very best of what remains, if he was chosen. That leaves guys like Luminara Unduli, Quinlan Vos and the others. Being considered a threat to Grievous by the person that trained him is neat too, given Grievous's ability to compete with Obi-Wan, Kit, Maul, Asajj. Of course that can support a broad range of skill, but serves further to supplement Drallig's position.
Inquisitor studied all of the lightsaber forms and techniques... And guess what, Drallig, as the Battlemaster, did pretty much exactly the same. Both supposedly know everything there is about lightsaber fighting. From this broad knowledge and mastery... Inqy has the more demonstrated skill in analysing opponent's tactics and recognizing any setup he faces, while Drallig's skills were inherited by the greats such as Obi-Wan and Anakin.
My money is on Drallig. Of the most important facet describing them - the immense knowledge and full lightsaber forms knowledge and mastery - Drallig is the one more defined in this area, and has more accolades speaking for him, not to mention his position just speaks more than Inq's one. Fights against Kanan don't stack up to that tier, so these showings really can't help Inquisitor.
@jkbart: Well he is noted as one of the best swordmasters in the Jedi Order, noted as being the best swordmaster during Knightfall which included the likes of Shaak Ti, Battlemasters in general being among the most physically dangerous of the Jedi and their blade prowess near unequaled in the galaxy along with their tact ability during combat.
But of course, you'll have those saying that don't mean anything without feats to back it up and the only one he has is dying to Anakin/Vader like that's some kind of slight against Cin when it was freaking Anakin of all Jedi.
@wolfrazer: Ah yeah, true about the Knightfall, I just forget it always, since Shaak never impresses me in the slightest as a duelist to be honest.
Yeah, Cin. Obi-Wan and Yoda were surprised to see that even Cin didn't survive the sacking of the temple. The Inquisitor was able to have decent fights with very low tier characters. I think Cin slaughters him both rounds, 10/10.
Drallig's Battlemaster status alone places him several tiers ahead of GI. Add in his personal accolades, and the outcome is infinitely more of a stomp, if that's even possible.
Even without his KF Vader feat, he wins easily and 10/10.
@lord_tenebrous: An unknown Inquisitor killed 4 Jedi in a single mission. While it wasn't explicitly the Grand Inquisitor who accomplished this none of the Inquisitors surpassed the Grand Inquisitor before his death. Also if Barriss does end up being an Inquisitor in Fallen Jedi then The Grand Inquisitor will get some really good scaling from her.
That's all well and good, but we know from statements that the Jedi they typically face are not very good. And Dave Filoni said they wouldn't do well against Jedi of the Clone War era, of which Drallig is not only part of but among the top tiers of the top tiers of that time.
@alextheboss: It's Legends Drallig that's used here, which is quite bad for the GI. I think Canon only Drallig only has a feat of destroying some explosive remotes or whatever, which I really wouldn't call a feat anyway. Meanwhile Legends Cin, he has a ton of scaling to draw from and accolades.
@wolfrazer: Cin Dralling should win then. Legends characters are usually just stronger in general.
@alextheboss: The GI would lose to lesser tbh.
@lord_tenebrous: They were clone wars era jedi that were killed by the Inquisitor. Also I think the standing of the Inquisitors has increased since Filoni's initial statement (though the statement if I remember correctly said the wouldn't fair well against Jedi such as Obi-Wan who was like top 10 in the order) we learned that the Inquisitors for the most part are all knights and masters. One of the members was held in high regard by Mace Windu himself.
We also have feats of them killing multiple jedi and The Grand Inquisitor before his training with Vader was able to beat an admittedly rather weak Jedi Master.
Cin stomps.

Does the ROTS video game count? If it does than, Drallig definitely stomps. He managed to repel KF Vader's force push and then landed a massive force push of his own on him that sent Vader flying out of the window.
@deadlyeyes: That would be up to the OP, as the fight isn't really apart of Legends...although apparently some section of the ROTS game is which would imply that Cin is highly capable considering Anakin sense Cin Drallig who had breached the upper level Clone defenses.
But that just furthers gives Cin the win and makes it even more of a stomp.
