Unbuffed, I say TKM. KD them, and its just a matter of a fewhit 3, or mind hit if he has a healer.
Buffed, I say TKM also. Since commando cannot target a specific ham pool, plus the fact tk's have many posture-changing attacks, and a mind attack, I would say they win too. I have fought a master commando as a tkm and i won.

I am a TKM/Master Commando. I PvP'd the other day and guess what Lo' and behold I actually hit with a Flame2 hit, did like 125 points of damage (wow). I then switched to TKM skills and rocked this guy. I did more damage in 3 seconds then I can do in 30 seconds with Commando. TKM can Knockdown and basically kick some a s s. Commando is currently the red headed step-child of SWG. It all breaks down to number's currently. DPS with commando is atrocious. I love TKM.

I don't like the condition of "equal player skills". Really, the professions are played so differently that it's hard to equate anyone's skills in one profession to those in another. For example, I consider TKA to be a high-maintenance profession, in that you really have to know how to use your abilities well to excel in PvP, since our strength is mostly in applying and maintaining states. A profession like pistoleer can spam the heck out of eyeshot and don't really have to do much more.
So it would really come down to who is better. Commandos are a bit underpowered I think, but a commando who can get a flame on you and then stay out of your range could totally destroy a TKA, if there is no source of water nearby and the TKA is not a doctor. Flame is one of my biggest fears in PvP, not only because I can't meditate it off, but if I'm on fire I can't meditate at all. A commando/CM is a frightening thing, because if they set us on fire they can apply poisons and diseases that we can't meditate off.

One of my favorite things to do is jump on my master commando/TKM alt and start dueling people 
Knock down, apply all my states and stack 2-3 burns on them depending on how long they're down.
Overall even through armor they tick for 400-700 and help quite a bit when fighting with TKA

I dropped my TKM and Master smuggler to go for commando this morning...
at least it's a real challenge to make it viable in PvP
I play on beating the crap out of everybody with my goofball (TM) tactics...
In most fight...the best player will win, no matter what template (unless the noob is lucky and has really uber weapons)

hehe won' be much of a grind I got a 31% dam slice on my LP, and for the first part of the grind I'll still be speedcapped on pistols (still 73 speed when I hit master....)

I was wondering if the HAR also isn't good against rancors...
Anyhow, I hope to prove soon that commando is a very viable PvP profession, with the right equipment AND preparation (not to mention atypical tactics)

I've fought plenty of commando's. There are 2 scenarios:
1)If you are wearing armor and buffed, it will be a long, long, long battle. You will be able to shrug off the flame damage and get your KD in. Then you can spend the next 20 minutes. beating him down. Straight TKM sucks for armored opponents and if they have strong enough buff/armor,can actually regain faster then you can beat them. If the commando can get up and kite, he will win....eventually. If you can keep him down, you will win.....eventually.
2) If you two are unbuffed and unarmored, it will be a very quick battle. It just comes down to who can hit who first. If he get's the first hit, game over. If you get the first hit(KD2), you will beat him down before he gets up.
However, almost nobody is just one combat profession if they PvP often so there are many things to account, like the the TK pulling out a rifle and blasting through the commando's helmet or the commando having his feet glued to the floor with some serious KD defence.

Well Im a Master Commando and plan to dabble a bit in TKA soon.
In a fight vs a Tka were toast if they get close, as soon as youre dizzy and kd´d he will trample on you til its over.
Commando is a good Pve class if you pick targets with low heat res and probably the best class to grind fs xp.
But when it comes to Pvp the Tkm plays in a different league than us.
