Cal's extended fight with Malicos is just an instance of gameplay mechanics, just like his fight with KX-series droids and AT-STs. In a realistic battle, Cal would one-shot a KX-series droid and even an AT-ST (we've seen Kanan & Ezra do so).
And it doesn't change the fact that Malicos would have killed him in the end, and it took the combined efforts of Cal and another powerful Force user to take Malicos down. The fact that it took Cal & Merrin working together to take Malicos down indicates that Malicos is superior to both of them.
Yes. Malicos would have killed Cal. Merrin even notes this.
He was awarded the title of Jedi Knight. That's a really great moment and all, but Cal is well below going-all-out Cere. He was absolutely no match for Vader, whereas Cere actually managed to bring Vader down to his knees at one point and even block his lightsaber strikes with a Force barrier (the former when using the Dark Side and the latter when she returned to the Light).
Yes, Star Wars Explained has this theory that the Inquisitor names are a form of ranking system. The Second Sister does indeed seem above all of the rest of the Inquisitors. The fact that she can boss around the Ninth Sister indicates a hierarchy. I too think the Second Sister is around Kanan level. But you should also keep in mind that Cal was just barely a match for her by the end of the game (throughout which he was growing in power).
I don't deny that Cal is a skilled lightsaber duellist. But he's no master, and he overpowered the Ninth Sister after a good fight, and at the end of that fight he was surprised that he was able to overpower an Inquisitor.
The question of skill doesn't come into play when it comes to psychometry. It is something that the Force user has to be born with. This is noted with Quinlan Vos and even by Cal himself. Psychometry in Canon isn't a Force power that Jedi can learn. They have to be born with the power.
The ability to freeze shit in place - Force Stasis - isn't a rare power. It has been displayed by a lot of characters. However, I will say that Cal seems to have a preternatural talent with this ability.
The Gorgara certainly is impressive. It's another example of ridiculously powerful and dangerous fauna in Star Wars.
Where does 7-A come from? Did you mean to type out 7-C and hit 7-A by mistake?
