Well if we're looking at it on a case by case basis, Luke was overwhelming Vader through his sheer strength in the Force - Vader was stumbling backwards even when Luke wasn't touching him. So even if Obi Wan is technically superior, it won't matter much because he'll be vomiting just from Luke's presence.

Vader was taken back unexpectedly by the power of Luke's rage amp. He was also taken back unexpectedly by Galens power in TFUI, but approached him much more cautiously in TFUII in which Vader had the definitive edge the whole fight.
Not that any of this has got anything to do with Kenobi whose defences held throughout ROTS Anakin's frenzy attack.

You're really suggesting that if Vader just had some forewarning, he could've won that?

The fight in TFU was close, and it isn't clear if Vader grew more powerful by TFUII, or if the Starkiller clone is weaker. Regardless, you're basically dismissing a very clear showing on rage Luke's part - his only showing for that matter - because it could just be the product of Vader being caught off guard. You could do that with anything.

It's a matter of Luke's power in the Force making Vader stumble around even when Luke isn't touching him; it's not a question of bladework or Obi Wan's soresu.
