Obi-Wan is bar-none the greatest Soresu practitioner in History, imo.It puts him right up there with Mace.
Using this logic; shouldn't Kenobi be just as good as Sidious and Yoda too? Why just stop at at Mace? If being the supposed "G.O.A.T." of a style that not many great duelist exclusively specialize in, ranks you that high 'cause reasons, the sky's the limit!
Let's look at some facts:
- Mace has, on numerous occasions, been placed on near equal footing with Yoda as a duelist.
- Nick Gillard, stunt director for Lucasfilm, placed Mace Windu's lightsaber adroitness at tier 9 --- along with familiar faces: Sidious, Yoda, and Anakin. Obi-Wan however, was placed a full tier below that, at 8.
Once the above is added to the fact that Mace's lightsaber feats are simply just better, I don't see how one can claim Obi-Wan is winning, or splitting a duel with Windu.

I think the only time we see him fight a light sider is in a sparring match with Saesee Tiin, with neither surpassing the other. Not to see that Mace is below Tiin, of course not , but if thats his only showing against a light sider, when what he's known for is using Vaapad against Dark Siders, well...

NO. IT'S NOT, MATE.
"Allowing the users to channel their inner darkness, and feed off the fury of their opponent."
Since Jedi rarely fight off anger, which translates to fury/being furious, its nearly useless against them.
Unless Windu gets Kenobi pissed off with something (should probably bring up Qui-Gon), then Kenobi is going to give Windu a really hard time.
