Respecting your opinion ares, but Rey mind probed Kylo when she was captured and called him out for wanting to be another Vader. Used Affect Mind on the stormtrooper and most impressively, broke through his (Kylo's) telekinesis when grabbing Luke's original lightsaber on Starkiller base. She didn't even have lightsaber combat training and still defeated him.
True, but it also seem that he didn't want to kill Rey either because he knew she was more powerful than him . . . something he omitted from Snoke. I would be upset too if an untrained girl mind raped me and discovered I had grandfather issues. It also appeared he didn't want to truly kill her. Something a true dark side user would have no problem with. Anakin/Vader had zero problems attempting to kill Obi-Wan who is his step-uncle.
Real question is, Who is Rey's dad? Luke or Han?

Kylo has just survived getting show by Chewie's Bowcaster (which was hyped up through the entire film) and was emotionally distraught from killing his father. He wasn't exactly fighting at peak condition.
What he said. Kylo was hindered during the fight so we haven't seen him fighting at his best.
Finn probably has a solid chance at taking down a Magna, depending on the quality of the model; some are formidable to even the best, and others are cheap trash.
Not that it matters. After he was scored, Kylo defeated Finn with two strikes; he's no real competition. Also... Kylo can literally just freeze the guard, lol.
I'm not sure I understand what makes Kylo so easy to defeat. Everyone is like, "Ugh, an untrained girl nailed him!"
Firstly, why are we giving a shit about her sex? It's irrelevant to talent and ability.
Secondly, a lot went into Kylo losing. He just got shot in the gut with a bowcaster bolt that had been sending everyone else flying for half the movie, Finn injured him (slightly, admittedly), and he was clearly far too emotionally charged to focus after having to kill his father.
I know, he made that choice to descend to the dark side but I doubt that comes with zero emotional consequence and this could impede his ability. PLUS, he underestimated Rey and her ability to channel the force so adeptly.
If we have a healthy Kylo? He smashes the Magnaguard.
