Obi-Wan held his own against Anakin. I would say they are close, but Anakin more of an edge in skill, but Obi-Wan has the wisdom so that is a major advantage.

I said that Obi-Wan can defeat Anakin in combat; still, Anakin is a more skillful fighter and duelist, and he therefore deserves a higher place on the list than Obi-Wan.
There were extenuating circumstances surrounding that fight. If you don't believe so, then you're an idiot.

No need to use 'idiot'. I know there were many, many circumstances in that fight, but that doesn't change the fact that Obi-Wan- with his complete knowledge of Anakin's bladework (which gave him an immense advantage), and his understanding of Anakin's psyche, he can logically keep with Anakin in the necessary time for him to use a tactical advantage, or piss Anakin off enough for him to cause him to make another mistake and take advantage of it. No, I suppose not every time, but Obi-Wan does have several undeniable advantages over Anakin.

THANKYOU for understanding my point of view!
No problem. Verses things are stupid thought guys.
I mean, Obi-Wan has the wisdom and skills, Anakin may have more skills but lacks wisdom.
Thus Obi-Wan has an advantage over Anakin. If they maybe fought on perfectly flat land with perfect lighting then Anakin would seem to have an edge, but no location is really perfect, I am sure Obi-Wan would use other factors to his advantage. I mean...Obi-Wan did find a way to take out Grevious.

And for the last part, yea OB1 does have certain adavantages, but Anakin does to. He's physically stronger, has a much stronger connection with the force, is a more skilled with a saber, and knows OB1 just as well as OB1 knows him. The onlyreason he lost was because he wasn't thinking. You put him in that situation 9 more times under different circumstances, and you'l have a completely different outcome. He wouldn't think he's invinceible and make that jump. If he hadn't jumped, he wouldn't have lost. And ultimately he won anyways cause he eventually killed OB1. And before you say that OB1 let himself be killed, it was only because he knew he couldn't win and did it so Luke and co could escape, a la ep 4 script.

Obi-Wan also has a lot of experience. We can't say how many times they each would have beaten each other out of ten fights because we have only seen them fight twice, and both of the outcomes were sort of based on a technicality.

That's kind of the point of debating. We take what we know about each and make a decision on who would win, or who would win the majority of the time. And why would you try to single my post out when that's what everyone on here is doing? Whatever, its good. To each their own.
Because I wanted to reply to your post? I hope that is okay.
Debates like these never end. It is like Mac VS PC, to each his own.
