I believe Anakin and Obi-Wan were very evenly matched.

After Anakin turns to the darkside, the edge is given to Anakin. Anakin became more powerful... with that raw power, came a new weakness though... overconfidence!

Anakin controlled the entire duel on Mustafar until he slipped up. Obi-Wan was in defense mode the entire time.

Yet, Kenobi was more experienced, keeping his cool, and waiting for the opportune time.

It depends greatly on your own point of view... this is a whole other debate really... which side is stronger? The darkside or the lightside? I think in terms of raw power, Lucas has said the darkside is stronger. But ultimately, the lightside prevails in the end which means the lightside is really stronger. 😉

Anakin NEVER slipped up. He was not under much control. You could see their faces that they were both harshly trying to destroy one another. Anakin never slipped. Anakin was a moron who decided to jump up to Obi Wan. I guarentee if that fight went on beyond that, Obi Wan would have walked out of it.

Well, I don't know anything about different fencing styles really, but it appeared that Anakin was doing all of the aggression and attacking... throwing all of the power at Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan just sort of deflected it all around him and hid in a safe zone until Anakin did something stupid (which he knew Anakin would do 😉 ) And I never said Obi-Wan was losing... he was just in defensive mode. Anakin seemed to be the one working with all of the raw power. But it was basically ALL show.

That's what Soresu is all about, being in defensive mode till the other one makes a mistake. Only problem is the other one may be more advanced in his own style, or you may get tired and slip up before he does.

Nice comeback, but there is something about it i just can't buy....

Well...i don't really care, now do i? That was a convo between Robin and myself. He said "dealing in absolutes", i took it out of context to make it funny, he thought i was serious. End of story.
