I saw him beat Finn, and lose to Rey, thats it.
So... What has he done that should make him a match for an Imperial Guard?
Imperial Guards are >> Magnaguards, btw.
Surviving a direct shot from a bowcaster, blocking lightsaber strikes with his bare hands, and http://www.blastr.com/sites/blastr/files/StarWarsTheForceAwakensVisualDictionary.jpg all point to Ren being an extremely formidable opponent in the Canonverse.

And...? Call me when Royal Guards have the blood of Vader flowing through their veins and are blocking lightsabers mid-combat with their hands on the verge of death.
However, that stuff about being able to take on a bunch of Jedi in sabers was impressive, and gives me a kind of better respect for his saber skills.
That being said... The Royal Guards are force sensitive, their force pikes have the intensity of a saber blade with several different settings.
They are handpicked out of MILLIONS of stormtroopers and then trained to physical perfection, and they know every single type of combat there is to know. Thats not just me saying that, its a direct quote (albeit worded differently).
They even know H2H techniques that they, and ONLY they know, its exclusive to the Guards.
Which is great, but Kylo still has the advantage.
Lightsaber > Force Pike. One swing of the lightsaber, the Force Pike becomes useless.
Also more refined Force abilities as noted. Compared to the Guard's ability to resist Force attacks and amping their physicals.
He wins, but the Guard makes him work for it.

Cool.
Every lightsaber has different intensity settings, I believe.
So... not a direct quote?
Cool.

Yes, of course, because, you know, Ben Skywalker and Anakin Solo were powerful asf, Leia too!
I mean, damn, they are a force to be reckoned with.
Blocking lightsabers with your hand is a form of Tutaminis, Corran Horn did it, his grandfather did it, Satele Shan did it, Valkorion did it, tons of people have done it.
Yup.
Ok?
Got that from Third Party sources, I coulda swore I saw it in the respect thread.
Nah.

In Legends, Horn was naturally gifted with the power.
Shan's immensely powerful - and Valkorion is Valkorion.
