Kenobi lacks the offensive ability to press Zannah hard in a duel. If she can defend successfully against Bane then Kenobi's rather flaccid in comparison. Zannah is faster than him imo and thats enough for me to believe she'd come out on top in a lightsaber duel.

Also her cousin was like, 13 or something. And the Jedi were aware of her I believe, but obviously not expecting it. She does levitate one of them while killing him in the comic though.

He fought evenly with Anakin which is a better feat than Zannah narrowly beating Bane in a PIS duel. Yes the duel with Anakin was PIS as well, but do not question my wisdom

Obi-wan's offense is not on the same caliber as Bane's though. Zannah has defended against speeds greater than Kenobi's defense was capable of holding against. He is not "easily" doing anything to her in a duel except defending.

Zannah on the other hand has not reached her prime by this point.

He would be on the offensive since she would only be using Soresu, and he is near mastery with Ataru, and knows some Shii-cho. Kenobi is a master duelist so he would be pressing Zannah hard regardless.

Zannah is a more competent combatant by DOE however, and it is not in Kenobi's nature as a duelist to fling himself at Zannah and never let up. He may have an offensive form under his belt, but I don't think he's ever demonstrated the proclivity for running up and trying to overpower his opponent in a duel.

The Jedi of that time were taught to have their shields ready at all times btw, in case of a surprise attack. So Zannah killing them would have required breaking throuhg their defences, and this as an untrained child.

Come to think of it, it was mainly Sarro's speed that had her so hardpressed against him, and by DOE she's got a better speed feat than Kenobi.

And keep in mind they were on their guard because they were hunting bouncers.

So then basically, we can throw those feats out the window? Since she has never replicated them past that point, and when she did do it, they were all completely caught off guard.

In TPM Kenobi was that kind of combatant, but not by this point. And Darth Maul specifically pisses Kenobi off.

I doubt they were on guard for a force attack that was going to break their necks...

And it's completely unreasonable that he can switch his forms given the situation?

I highly doubt Kenobi would try to overpower someone whose style is meant to prevent exactly that. It doesn't make much tactical sense.

Which evidently makes him less focused and sloppy. So it's not like that was a benefactor.

It means Kenobi would press the offensive in the way that he did.
