Agreed, I just mean how Dooku went to the full depths of trying to get rid of Kenobi by not only force pushing him 2 times within the first seconds of the fight, but also throwing a huge deck on him so he could not move.My point being Kenobi wasn't able to show if he had improved since AOTC like Anakin did.
I don't get it. He was in a sword fight against Dooku, and he had help. How did he not get a chance to prove himself?
Oh and welcome back.

That would be literally impossible, considering how Fisto, while holding back, was a superior swordsman to AotC Kenobi.
He went from being below Fisto, to being above peak Ventress. That is a big difference.
You claim kenobi only won because of circumstances against maul and Savage... was based on Focus and going offensive... yet you leave out Anakin only beating dooku because Dooku underestimated Anakin... depleted force reserves when fighting off Kenobi and Anakin at the same time. Those are key reasons why Dooku lost.
It's true Dooku had depleted reserves by that point, but he depleted them by fighting Skywalker, not Kenobi. After he Force-hucked Kenobi against a wall, Anakin was "all over him", as Dooku "spent lavishly of his reserve of the Force merely to meet these attacks without being cut in half, and Skywalker-- Skywalker was getting stronger."
And that's not Zone Anakin. Up until then Dooku had been arrogant, then shocked at their sudden change of technique. But nowhere is it said they were tiring him down. And once it does say he started getting tired, his fatigue is being attributed solely to Anakin. Not Zone Anakin, just regular old jerk Anakin. Jerkakin. Dooku, even with "depleted Force reserves" still took down Kenobi. That's how strong the old man was. And Zonakin utterly snaps his shit up. How is regular ol' Obi-Wan "beaten by a weakened Dooku" going to stand against Anakin "The Guy Who Actually Weakens Dooku" Skywalker... when he's even more powerful than his TGWAWD self?
