Jaina Solo

Jaina's probably the most skilled/powerful but least experienced, whilst Mara is the most experienced and versatile whilst the least skilled/powerful, and Obi-Wan's somewhere in the middle of that equation.

Ultimately I'd say Jaina's the strongest player on the field, with Mara and Kenobi being more or less evenly matched in their own rights.

Kenobi

dies to Jaina

Mara wins on tactics, letting Jaina fight ObiWan as much as possible till she can stab Jaina in the back.

WildBantha88
Jaina is good, no doubt. But she couldn't beat a one armed dying Caedus with BM. On the contrary Kenobi has gone head to head with Dooku multiple times and his defensive soresu style will allow him to outlast the competition

NewGuy01
She didn't have BM, Caedus was not dying, and she did win.

NewGuy01
In their first battle she doesn't have BM, she's disguised as Luke; Caedus thinks he's fighting Luke, which speaks for Jaina's level of ability since he didn't notice vast disparity in skill. Also, in their first battle Caedus's only injury is his arm.

In their second battle Caedus's only disadvantage is his mutilated arm, and a stab wound. Which is obviously significant, but then again, he's notorious for being able to fight through grievous injuries.

Jaina was amped in the 1st battle and Jacen was handicapped in the second plus Jaina tapped into reserves she'd never experienced before.

NewGuy01
The text doesn't suggest at all that she was amped, and you're the only one who's been suggesting otherwise to my knowledge.

She was assisted by Luke in the first fight either way *shrug.

I still maintain she'd lose to him without any sort of assistance, and if they were both in prime condition on neutral ground.

Other than it directly stating she's operating above her normal capabilities and that she's never felt as powerful as she did in that fight (which I assume includes other times shes been amped)?

NewGuy01
Yep, except Jaina wasn't amped like Depa, and Caedus was doing more than defending.

Yeah, true. except that was because he thought he was fighting Luke, not Jaina. In their second fight all he does is defend and Jaina notes that he could have killed her if he wanted to.

1.) I'm not sure what this changes, maybe it'd make him more cautious? But then again, he'd have less reservations about killing Luke than Jaina, too.

2.) To some degree, yes, but there is still an obvious and significant difference in the descriptions of Caedus and Mace in Invincible and Shatterpoint respectively.

I don't think anyone is questioning that.

Regardless, in this fight, she's the worst tactician of the 3. Jaina might actually drop first, as Mara will generally want to stay out of the way as much as possible, and Obi Wan is generally content to let his opponents beat futilely on Soresu.
