Because he does spam killing curses a lot. He uses the spell alot, the one spell that I think will break a lightsaber since it breaks just about everything else it ouches not blocked by obscure "love protection". Lightsabers are a far cry from the strongest weapon in fictional history. There are some I think that could do it- not the lightsaber.

And yes he is more comparatively creative or perhaps more "Flexible" in his combat options. . He has more options to use then Grevious, who can shoot and stab. The latter of which I don't think he'll really get the chance to do. He can use a killing curse which Grevious's only counter other then losing a lightsaber is dodging- and he won't figure that out immediately, cloak himself and stealth apparate behind Grevious (which Grevious, lacking force powers, wouldn't detect), use Fiendfyre which Grevious has not counter to,  use xpelliarmus to disarm him of his lightsabers , make all sorts of havoc with transfiguration, or fuck up his mind with Imperio (I think Grevious could fight it off but it would occupy him for a time allowing a second fatal blow). In my opinion you did not do the best job representing the full range of Voldemort's abilities, while the full range of Grevious IS represented (or almost full range).

I know of Grevious. I have researched a good deal about Grevious for my tournament, possibly more then you yourself have. I actually own a good many SW books and though my memory is sometimesfuzzy  I still think I have a decent memory of him. Please don't assume I am a Noob with no knowledge coming in as you look to be doing. I also like him better then Voldemort.

Yet I cannot logically justify his victory. Not every X-factor, category ect is weighted equally. If we have a trained Spartan, with decades of combat experience, is a brilliant tactician decked out in bronze armor , is super intelligent  and is all around awesome vs. a modern day hunter who knows how to shoot a gun decently at long range and is armed with a high powered hunting rifle that can penetrate bronze, in a battle on a open field, starting at long range, I will go for the Hunter. Its actually a similar case here.

I cannot, CANNOT, see Grevious being able to reach Voldemort without trickery in CQC, which he might do some times. Apparitino hard counters that. I do not know how or why you guys think Voldemort will just stand there while Grevious is charging, hurling spells but otherwise doing nothing to prevent the impending dismemberment. Please tell me how he does so, assuming even a bare minimun of competence from Voldemort.

There is no prep time for this battle I am assuming. Grevious will not have time to research and utilize the psychological issues that really bother Voldemort and utilize that against them. He's not going to be able to set up a battlefield to his measure. Most importantly he won't have time to properly analyze or understand Voldemort's abilities. Oh he'll understand supernatural powers courtesy of him fighting the Force users and being around them, but not the full applications of his opponent. Grevious's weapons are much easier to understand, given the similar shape (Lightsaber held like a sword okay, Blaster looks somewhat like a powerful pistol. Its intuitive and Voldemort is one of those who would likely know what both are).

"   Just making sure that this seems really one-sided in Voldemort's favor.

I question your fairness in making this statement. In fact I think its really unfair you did. You don't question the severaly one-sided votes of everyone else on Grevious but you pick on the one person who votes differently from the pack as being "biased". Groupthink isn't a pretty thing.

I have said it before I like Grevious more then Voldemort and am voting AGAINST my favorite here. I cannot see him surpassing the apparition problem enough times of a 1k, this is a first contact sitution, Voldemort has so much more options ect
