1.) being harmed by a jedi in such a manner made gg lose personal 'confidence', for lack of better words, in himself. this would undoubtedly diminish the psychological "fear and intimidation" edge he implemented in battle. thus, rendering him a much less efficient duelist.
and/or,
2.) having his core crushed, damaged gg's body as a whole. he certainly moved and acted much different from clone wars, to ROTS [which implies to me that something about him had drastically changed]. if, say, gg were in constant pain [which seems likely], fighting/moving like he could beforehand would be exceedingly difficult to accomplish - which accounts for him acting as feeble as he did, and being owned in laghtsaber combat as though he weren't even a threat.
please note that i am not saying the final results of obi/gg's battle would have necessarily been different. however, had gg been at his peak, it would have been a much, much closer battle. he just didn't seem to be that same "i can best 5 jedi at a time," beast.
all imo, of course. 🙂
Two things. 1. I really meant to type chest, but for whatever reason, typed throat. 2. I was mistaking GG for his droids that were programmed to know multiple fighting styles, but I thought I read somewhere that part of his cybernetic enhancements was some type of computerized something or other that helped him to fight Jedi.
In any case, OB1 was noted as being "the one" to fight GG and, imo, would beat him at any given time. People often underestimate OB1, but remember that not even Dooku penetrated his defenses in pure saber battle in ROTS.
