Examining the question broadly, I agree completely that Kenobi's holistic displays of Force power aren't anything special, but he has his moments. If the hype regarding Skywalker is to be believed, Kenobi's ability to unleash comparable telekinetic energy with the Chosen One is impressive.

His little TK exchange with Darth Vader at Mustafar proves otherwise. Do you really think that any Jedi in the history of the order could match TKs with ROTS Anakin immersed in the Dark Side?
You use the term "average" very loosely.
Prove that Meetra was in above Kenobi in the force or martially in general.

She was on the Jedi Council, she had access to and studied an absurd amount of Sith Holocrons and she trained the Handmaidens in Echani combat. She was also able to rather easily defeat Brianna the Handmaiden despite the fact that Brianna had previously curbstomped all of her siblings at the same time.

Atris was hardly fodder.

The handmaidens were forbidden to even touch upon the force. Brianna traveling with the exile and soloing the handmaidens is also shaky canon considering that event only happens if the Exile is chosen to be male in game. Even if we take that into account subduing a Padawan cho can defeat 5 non force-sensitives in combat is hardly impressive.
Jocasta Nu also sat on the Council and was the Librarian on Coruscant. That did not stop Darth Vader from casually lifting her with the Force and impaling her on his lightsaber.
In fact that didn't stop Cad Bane from knocking her unconscious in the Clone Wars

It isn't deleted content. That first bit happens in the original game, its just that she doesn't Force choke Sion.

For what it's worth, The Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide attributes to Traya "vast telekinetic powers."

Why? He never said she was.

Yay!

That was the feat? Or were you talking about fodderizing the Sith Assassins?

Brianna has been mentioned in a few sourcebooks I believe. And the claim could be made that its a gameplay mechanic that she only goes with a male Exile.

i see you don't mention the absurd amount of holocrons shes studied.

Yes.

That's true.

She is a librarian, studying does not equal power. I am sure Jocasta Nu studied the holocrons of all the Jedi pass, but she does not have the power of a Satele Shan or Revan, even if she studied them.

Yes.

We see these same Assassins not being able to defeat the Mandalorians. In fact they urge the exile and Mandalore to go on without them.

It depends on what she's studying. Sith philosophy? Then, no. But The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia makes it abundantly clear that the only way to master the Force is through dedicated study.

Atris: "All this collected knowledge, all these teachings of combat and the Force - they are mine to command."

Another epic fail for Yoda.

Well there you have it.

Though the fact that she not only lost to the Exile but was simply match for her in combat (KotOR campaign guide) is sobering. Either she exaggerated the extent of her mastery, the techniques in question were pedestrian, or all the above.

And yet her arrogance was made all the more clear after Meetra slapped her around. What Sith knowledge made her so powerful?

Cute.

Or Meetra was simply better than her.

Meetra being better than an unknown is still an unknown though.

I think we've established that she isn't unknown. Theres at least 30 ****ing holocrons in that room when she makes that statement.

The Exile was inarguably superior to Atris, but that's just the conundrum: consider that the Exile, in turn, is woefully inadequate to take on Darth Nyriss. If Atris had mastered all those powers and techniques from those many Holocrons (which admittedly I'm assuming are great in number based on your estimations), you'd think she'd have been more formidable.

The only combatant she put down even with that knowledge was Brianna, a neophyte Padawan of the Exile.

Did she really master any of those holocrons?
