Revan Scourge? He sure is. He was a near-equal to Qui-Gon by this point, who is canonically one of the most skilled Jedi in history, who has outsparred Anoon Bondara (someone who is reputably the most skilled Jedi of the time) and who has contended with Maul, who is easily Scourge's superior. Scourge being better than Academy instructors, Xedrix's apprentices and some Imperial Guards, all of whom are practical fodder, doesn't put him out of Obi-Wan's league.

If taking down "multiple Sith" is meant to be beyond AotC Kenobi, how do you reconcile Jango Fett wiping the floor with multiple Jedi with his bare hands, the same guy who Kenobi matched without his lightsaber?
I think he means multiple Sith as in Kreia and Sion. The Sith in the Trayas Academy were also the best of them and don't forget that they possess the ability to grow in strength compared to their opponents. So it's basically impossible for them to have been fodder like the guys Jango took out.

Lol @ Imperial Guards being fodder. They're stated to be so terrifying that "the most powerful of Sith Lords lay down their weapons and surrender to the certain death" at their hands. And Scourge defeated their leader and a guard at the same time, without using any Force powers.

To be fair tho, Meetra is unquestionably Revan Scourge's superior, at least.
As for the fight, Revan Scourge dies, SWTOR Scourge stalemates or maybe wins.

Kenobi also had to contend with the Slave I's presence which effectively restricted his movement, and he was fighting Jango with his full arsenal, not just Jango's bare hands.
That and Obi-Wan was trying to capture, not kill, much harder to do that to a guy who has no qualms about killing you.
Also I'd hardly call those Jedi who Jango killed 'fodder' as they cut through Jango's Mandalorians and just being Padawans are still highly trained swordmasters. What did the Sith do at the Academy? Study books?
The term fodder is thrown around too loosely, which in most cases isn't applicable.

I think that basically proves that quote is bullshit level over 9000.

With only months of training too.
An army of elite warriors, the Imperial Guard underwent months of brutal training to transform them into the most disciplined and deadly troops in the Empire.-Revan novel.
Either that or the Sith in the SE aren't all they are cracked up to be.
"Months" could be two or seventy two. Nice lowball attempt though.

"Padawans are legit expert swordsman, bro. Sith Lords experienced in murdering Jedi? Pffft, scrubs."
Like, seriously man? Seriously? 😬

Hey you were the one, bringing up the fact the Jedi Jango killed were just fodder, so I just merely returned favor.
