Yeah, because it, you know, took Kenobi forever to trounce Grievous in sabers.
We have reason (and when I say reason, I mean details from the ROTS novelization) to believe that Obi-Wan Kenobi was being empowered by the Force to an uncommon degree during that battle, hence his somewhat casual dominance over the general in what was otherwise a rivalry in which they seemed rather equitable in overall dueling ability.
Originally posted by Jinsoku TakaiSo it would take RotS Kenobi 20 minutes to kill Zett Jukasa? Having prolonged duels is a tactic used to wear down or provide opportunities against superior opponents. Nothing implies that it would take a Soresu user forever and a day to defeat someone who is vastly their superior in skills and technique.
Nah, especially given that Soresu users are known for getting involved in long, drawn out battles.
Furthermore, even if it was a long duel, it would mostly be of Obi-Wan toying with him, ala his CW movie fight with Ventress. Hardly some desperate scrap like against Anakin.

Assuming you mean inferior (although superior is probably right), where's your canon quote/evidence of Maul being "vastly inferior" to Kenobi in saber skill/technique?

Dooku > Palpatine in sabersaccording to the infallible Sorgo.
I shan't insult or attack Sorgo (
Spoiler:), but while the good Count's technical expertise
for I was rather fond of him
So Maul's got the edge when it comes to the pinnacle of reputable opponents. excellent

Come at me (but not on me).
I believe I just did both. I will allow you to wipe your face off with the nearest available napkin, but you will keep it as a souvenir. uhuh

edited again for accuracy; Palpatine was a practitioner of Juyo, which requires that he be a master of multiple lightsaber forms, which indicates great skill.

The difference being that Kenbi didn't get his ass kicked against said reputable opponents like Maul did against Palpatine.
LOL Kenobi never got his ass handed to him by Dooku??!! Even that was with Anakin at his side.
Kenobi has no feats against Dooku whatsoever.
Kenobi also got disarmed and knocked on his ass by Ventress, someone who is not even close to Dooku's league.
