Originally posted by IncanusWhy will Anakin and Obi-Wan fight here like they did on Mustafar? This isn't Vader, this is Anakin---Light side Anakin. There is no emotional conflict here, no Dark side in him, no hatred for Kenobi. Anakin was more powerful on Mustafar than he ever had been, albeit in a distorted, crazed way. He's down a notch in brute force and raw strength, giving Obi-Wan more time and Anakin a clearer head to defeat him.
Obi-Wan style is Soresu, right? Well, that is a defensive form, and he has mastered a few more, Anakin would just fight him like on Mustafar. Mace would stand no chance against the 900 year old Grand Master of the Jedi ORder due to the fact that Yoda is the only one that can cathc force lightning on his hands, AND he would jump over him and stab Mace in the back, then Obi-Wan is screwed.
As for Mace "not standing a chance" against Yoda; he doesn't, ultimately. If the setting is fair with no handicaps, then Mace faces defeat the majority of times. However, he won't simply be biting dust just because it's Yoda. Mace took on and outmatched in sabers, Palpatine, and he's apparently above Dooku (I think, if not then he's on par) who you should remember survived just such an encounter with Yoda.
And you should avoid blanket statements that are not supported by anything or prove no point. Yoda catching Force Lightning does not mean that Mace can not. It is also irrelevant here as Jedi Master Mace Windu does not employ use of Force Lightning, the most notorious of all Dark Side attacks.

Well, he probably would EVENTUALLY end up stabbing him in the back, dude. And even with Anakin not being a psychopath, it would still be like (a slightly relative term along with SIMILAR.) because of their particular styles. And im not sure if Mace can do that, but i think wookieepedia said it was unique to Yoda.....

Then why did you say before that they would be inclined to target eachother? They'd be reluctant to fight eachother, if anything.
I said they'd be inclined to one another due to their familiarity with each other. If these two (for some magical reason we're not at liberty to concoct) were to be fighting each other as Light siders, then due to their extensive experience with one another's fighting styles and knowledge of each's mentality, it only makes sense that they go for one another. I know I'd rather take on my friend and mentor/student whose quirks, mannerisms, powers, and fighting skills/abilities I know intimately than someone who is of greater caliber than either of us.
But hey, if everyone switches opponents: Kenobi attacks Yoda and dies horribly and quickly, and Yoda rushes over to help Anakin take down Mace. But that's the boring choice. Where's the debate in that?
can't Kenobi hold off against yoda with his soresu form and some of his knowledge in ataru... and his knowledge of the other forms? Mace could take down anakin and then mace and kenobi could take a go at yoda.
...I think Mace and Obi-Wan would take a go at whatever works - not just because obi-wan knows anakin better or mace and yoda are the strongest in the order or something like that.
admittedly though, ^ that sounds like what they would do - but they could also try something else...
hmm, i don't know... interesting. I'm following this thread to see what happens.
