There seems to be some discussion to if Obi Wan should have won. Should've he? I don't think so but I want your opinion. I made it a post so I could see the results.
he killed kids and lost his cool.
he got what he deserved
he couldnt calm down and focus his lightsaber swings,
during the whole duel he was basically throwing a temper tantrum with his lightsaber while obi wan stayed focused.
granted obi wan was getting exhausted,
but when you duel with anakin's mindset it becomes easier to make a mistake.
which he did and thats why he lost.

I said that Anakin was more powerful in the force, and obi wan is a better swordsman. So it should be pretty equal. I think obi wan will win because he has a bit more experience.
i think Anakin would lose 8 out of 10 to Obi. Obi fought from the position of advantage the entire fight, giving ground, just like Soresu dictates. Goading Anakin, Almost killing him in the hallway, almost leaving him to die on the Girder or whatever it was. Obi-Wan just knows anakin to well to lose to him. His style is a perfect counter for Anakin's rage. Soresu is at its best against many strikes at once, using the other person's own energy against them with minimal effort to wear them down. Eventually anakin, being immature, in this fight, will always make the mistake. Name one mistake Obi-wan made in his fight against anakin, one overcalculation. He was in complete control.
Experience helps. OK! That is why Obi wan got better as the movies went along. If experience didnt help, than obi wan would be a wimp in episode III. OK?
if experience doesn't matter, 10 year old anakin is the be-all and end-all of force combat, he had the most strength, and potential. It took experience to turn that potential into skill.
experience helps but should NEVER be the SOLE factor in why a duelist wins.
you cant just say he wins cause of expiriecne, give more substance in your answer

I never said that is the only reason he wins. He is a master of soresu, an unbreakable defense. Anakin is stronger in the force. Obi's experience and his speed are the tiebreakers.
(panting and breathing hard) "i have failed you anakin, i have failed you"
(showing no sign of fatigue) "i should have known the jedi were plotting to take over!"
toward the end of thier rots duel, kenobi was near worn out but anakin just kept comming
