Yeah. The thing is, since that video game came out more recently than RotS, I'd say that it's probably a better representation of Kenobi's standing next to Dooku. Also, it was presumably made by TCW team, and TCW is in charge of canon now basically, so honestly, prime Kenobi should realistically ragdoll Dooku. He only didn't in RotS because Dooku is a very fast man. Unfairly fast. It was a fluke. Doesn't count.
The real question is, why is DMB okay with feats until he's not okay with feats? He spends plenty of time making fun of Rivi, yet I don't think it'd be outside the realms of possibility that if Bane had replicated her feat, DMB's entire street would drown in his semen.

Lmao says the c-unt who can't even concede the most insignificant things, like whether his post was a hyperbole or not, or was his post poorly phrased or not
PS:
But we all must have are delusions, right?

Is this the Traya feat thing? If so, explain it to me, because I'm listening.
As I recall, I said "Traya did to Brianna what Yoda did to Saesee, Plo and Depa", later clarifying that the "avoiding all their strikes easily without even seeming to move" was what I referred to. Just where is the hyperbole in that?
Also, I conceded the phrasing in the other thread, lol. I then said that I clarified it and we were wasting time, but you weren't willing to run without having more jabs.
Yep. The surprise is more prevalent, naturally, which is why it gets the spotlight. Doesn't mean the other factor (that Dooku was just powerful enough to do it) was nonexistent.
Anyway, you're comparing an instance in which two factors are working together to an instance in which two factors are working against each other. Makes no sense.
For someone who constantly arguing about on-offs it's pretty hypocritical from you that you don't hold the same standard here
But that sums up your debating pretty well
Anyhow, let's see what we have:
1. Kenobi is a threat to Dooku.
2. The junior novel only attributes Dooku victory to his speed.
3. The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader also only notes Dooku's speed.
If Dooku is so much more powerful than Kenobi that he can dominate him any time, then maybe they'd attribute his victory to powergap between them. And maybe if Dooku can ragdoll the shit out of Kenobi then he's not a threat...

Rivi-Anu is an unknown from an exaggerated medium, whereas Bane is known from a subdued medium by the wonderfully subtle Drew Karpyshin, obviously.
Like, it's OK to accept a Sith apprentice with rushed training being worth thousands of soldiers(essentially making them army busters), but not OK to assume a Jedi Knight at the Order's prime, in a state of desperation, can hold up a falling ship for three seconds.
@Zoltan - It's good to see that you're not trying to harp this double-standard crap because you know I applied the same logic in both cases above.
1. That's a very vague quote. Kyle Katarn was a "threat" to Caedus, who could dispose of him remarkably quickly. You'd be surprised at how easily you can threaten someone.
Also, doesn't the quote refer to Obi-Wan coming from Dooku's behind?
2. No, it attributes it to Obi-Wan not expecting the attack. There's more reasons than just speed for not expecting the attack.
3. Yes, it does.
The film and script suggest that Dooku overpowered his defenses. The website and TCSWE also attribute Dooku's ragdolling of Obi-Wan to Dooku being "formidable".
For real tho, I'm aware Rivi-Anu is unjustifiable lunacy, but I don't really get to choose where to draw the line for what an "outlier" is for anyone other than myself. Nor does DMB.
We all operate under the "best feat possible" analysis, sans external amps and what not. It's the definition of double standards not to accept a feat at face value when you are trying your hardest to make Bane as impressive as possible by merit of feats.
