I wonder if Ezra fights the Inquisitors in the next episode, or otherwise calls on the darkside.
Well you pretty much called that one.

It still seems that 5th outranks 7th as he talks down to her and pointed out she was indeed 7th. But she's just better than him in every way except saber chucking lol, because his has micro thrusters or something considering he has some of the best and most powerful saber throws I've seen in animated Star Wars.
Which doesn't make sense as to why he outranks her if she's better than him in just about every way.

Maybe it's an "Emperor's hand/eyes" thing? Put your best plant high enough to influence events, but low enough to spy on the leadership?
Think Soundwave being a far better, capable, loyal subordinate to Starscream, yet ranking under him.

I didn't like how Ahsoka was portrayed as being superior to Kanan.Kanan took down the Grand Inquisitor.

Which still puts him something like 1 to 5 😛Grand Inquisitor underestimated him, and fell prey to a "rage" power up.

Rethinking it, you're right. He wasn't like ROJ Luke, instead he was hyper focused.
It's also not a state he's proven he can achieve at will.
You can basically call it a "good day", brought on by Ezra's "death". Something he might not see in 100 losses (And to be fair, his opponent was obviously not taking him all that seriously, either.)

So I've rewatched the fight a few more times, and it seems to me that Ahsoka and the Seventh Sister only fought on and off for about 6-7ish second intervals.
1. 0:31 - 0:39: Ahsoka hits the Seventh Sister in the face with her hilt which causes her to stagger back a few feet. Ahsoka Force-pushes the Fifth Brother, which prevents her from pressing an offensive against the Seventh Sister after the hilt to the face.
2. 0:41 - 0:47: The fighting pauses for dialogue.
3. 0:51 - 0:57: Ahsoka has the Sister on her backfoot in a bladelock where the Sister is evidently strained, but has to break off because of the Fifth Brother rejoining the fight.
4. 1:07 - 1:14: Ahsoka gets rid of the Brother and presses a more intense offensive, kicking the Seventh Sister back. Then, obviously, she puts her lightsabers away and meditates, disarming her.
I think looking more in-depth at this dispels the idea that the Seventh Sister was holding her own well against Ahsoka. She was completely outmatched, and when alone with no interruption or pauses in the fighting, when Ahsoka seemed to attacking more intensely, she was quickly overwhelmed. I feel like in a 1v1 scenario with no breaks in the combat due to interferences from the Brother or because of dialogue, Ahsoka could have handily defeated the Seventh Sister in 10-20 seconds, no problem.
I disagree completely and utterly with bae. I'm using the same video he linked as reference.
[0:32 - 0:37] Ahsoka Tano appears to give ground to the Seventh Sister despite starting the fight on the offensive.

[1:09 - 1:11] Tano attacks, Sister dodges. Tano attacks with force, Sister blocks, but with difficulty and gives ground.
[1:11 - 1:13] Tano attacks three times with force. Sister blocks all but is pushed back. Tano attacks, Sister dodges but gives
ground. Tano attacks with force, Sister blocks but is nearly overwhelmed. Before recover, Ahsoka plants physical which ends fight.
Tano's performance was terrible until the last 6 seconds.
From what we can visibly see, Tano unleashed:
11 attacks that the Seventh Sister simply dodged via speed.
3 attacks that the Seventh Sister blocked with no visible difficulty.
7 attacks with both her lightsabers aimed at the same place which pushed the
Seventh Sister back, caused her visible difficulty, and nearly overwhelmed her.
*NOTE: All of the 7 attacks happened in the last 6 seconds of the fight.
--- --- ---
From what we can visibly see, the Sister unleashed:
4 attacks that Ahsoka Tano blocked with no visible difficulty.
4 attacks that Ahsoka Tano simply dodged via speed.
1 bladelock that appeared in which the Sister had the advantage.
*NOTE: The portion of the fight where the Sister had the advantage is not calculated since it's off-screen.
--- --- ---
The data suggests the following:
70% of all attacks came from Tano, suggesting an offensive combative approach.
52% of Tano's attacks (36% total) didn't even touch the Sister's lightsaber, suggesting inferior speed.
33% of Tano's attacks (23% total) proved to be extremely successful and won her the lightsaber battle.
*NOTE: The portion of the fight where the Sister had the advantage is not calculated since it's off-screen.
--- --- ---
Basically, Tano's attacks only proved to be actually effective when she would guide both of her lightsabers in the same motion,
which appeared to have exerted a degree of strength that the Seventh Sister could not keep up with.
The fact majority of all of Tano's attacks were simply dodged by the Seventh Sister is a complete disgrace. I revoke my stance
that Tano's fast. She clearly isn't that much. She seemed to have won through physical superiority.
In a strict contest of technical mastery, the Sister appeared to have Tano completely matched, if not beat (as suggested by how
the fight began with the Sister pushing an offensive Tano back). Half of Tano's attacks just pass through air. 😉
