Also the stupid comparison of Savage vs. Kenobi and Skywalker is just that, stupid.
Kenobi took off Savage's arm and broke his leg. He was winning and force them into retreat.
That is not the same as Savage getting off a Force Push or some shit like that. Filoni himself states that Maul and Savage lose. The length people will go into denial about this is obscene.
It's not denial, it's common sense. Opress literally ragdolled Anakin and Kenobi, Ventress gave the best performance of her life against the same pair and, in turn, Kenobi goes apeshit on the brothers.
One ordinary performance doesn't outweigh the average.

Well, since Filoni has stated that the brothers legitimately lost the fight, I think it's a valid showing. The intention was to showcase how "Strength in character can defeat strength in numbers ." Mind tell, what is the average then? Even before, Maul had more trouble fighting Kenobi than fighting Savage.
Kenobi is superior to Savage, simple as that.
Filoni said Kenobi won. It's not denial, it's common sense that Filoni has a greater say on Kenobi's victory than what vague average fans speculate on.

What, a circumstancial victory equals greater power and skill?
Right.
There's a reason why Kenobi consitently struggles with Grievous, Ventress and Maul.

Correction.
Filoni states Maul and Opress lost in that situation and in that scenario.
Anyone who believes Kenobi is > Maul + Opress under normal circumstances is just plain out crazy.
He is however > Opress in a one on one.

I can accept Kenobi being above Opress in an 'all-out', but he will by no means ''handily'' beat him, which is the only thing I've argued.

When Adi Gallia dies Kenobi would have one-shotted Savage were it not for Maul's intervention.

He pushed them back, not ragdolled him. He force choked Dooku as well, but we all know Dooku would take him to the curb. Ventress took on a non-focused Kenobi and Skywalker, and Kenobi has a thing for Ventress.
Ventress lost that duel, Savage it was undecided, Kenobi won the duel. He won the engagement and mutilated Savage while he did it.
quote:

Filoni plainly states that the only thing different about Kenobi was he was exhausted, unfocused, and mentally distraught in one instance where he fought Maul and that he was focused on the second one.
His first fight with Maul is an outlier. Deal with it.

Nah, Intrepid's right. Obi-Wan had the advantage of terrain and the brothers didn't want to kill him.
Both are outliers and Obi-Wan will not be owning Savage.

0:29, she pwns Kenobi with a kick and fights equally with Skywalker.
She then fights both of them as equals before getting disarmed through a force push only to choke them both.

Wrong, Opress looks up at Kenobi and has time to dodge, he just couldn't.

Savage is not even close to Mace Windu's league in bladework. Do you think Windu would get disarmed in the casual manner Maul disarmed Savage?

1. That's not ragdolling, that's a force push.
2. Yeah because they were trying so hard.
3. They weren't even fighting him at the time. He was being gunned down, why would they even bother having their defenses up?

Except Kenobi is a Jedi and Ventress is a Sith. Kenobi embarrases her in TCW movie.

Not the same thing. Neither Kenobi nor Skywalker were exhausted by the end of the duel. Ventress was.

No he didn't. He said that they had overextended themselves politically.

Yeah I'm going to go ahead and say being tortured and foodless for hours trumps the legs. Kenobi wasn't in the mental state to win. He was confused that Maul was back, then add in the Dun Moch and you have Maul at an extreem psychological advantage.

Nah, he didn't notice Kenobi in time.

lol@you if you think Maul would handle Savage the same way in a hypothetical fight.
Maul would disarm and kill an injured Windu, yes.

So I guess Maul didn't ragdoll Kenobi after Savage's arm was cut off either?

Prove they weren't trying their hardest.

lols, having their defenses up against a monster + blasterfire sounds like a pretty good idea.

Maul had gained new legs, met his new brother and, according to Insider #132, ''didn't know his place''.
Not the best mental state either.

Jedi don't tend to use force powers offensively. But even in an all out situation, Obi Wan will come out victorious.
And I don't recall Savage ragdolling Ventress and Dooku.

"And he loses that fight, rather he's not in the right mindset...When you get to this episode, Obi-Wan is much more focused and ready. Not only that but when Adi-Gallia dies, he gains more focus and sort of has to right that wrong. He's a very skilled swordsman. He's not going to lose that fight in that situation."
"I think it's more of a tie..."
"Nah."

No you're both wrong and should take the director of the show's view higher than your own.

Because Filoni says it's a win doesn't mean it's not a circumstancial win.

And I would IF Filoni said Obi-Wan was better than Savage, let alone so superior as to be able to curbstomp him.
But in fact he doesn't. All he says is that Obi-Wan won't lose THAT duel in THAT situation. Since THAT duel and THAT situation aren't at play here, there's nothing relevant in Filoni's commentary.
Feel free to address the rest of my argument in your next post instead of pretending the only time the two ever fought was in Revival and that Filoni's statement means "lol obiwan pwnz all day 3vry day n savage sux!"

One thing is to say Kenobi can beat Opress with ease. Another thing is to think he can actually beat Opress + Maul.
I can't take anyone who supports the latter incident seriously.
