Yeah plus the tight environment benefits Soresu.

Dooku. Great fight.

I would say Obi Wan.

He was using Ataru, IIRC.

So you think if Kenobi switches to Ataru he forgets how to Soresu?

Yeah he probably did use Ataru but that again confirms Obi-Wan actually can put forwars a good offense.

You can only use one form at a time. At best, he may have used Soresu intermittently.

Not according to Canon.

The GI tells Kanan on their first encounter that he uses Form 3 to a ridiculous extent.. Or something along those lines.

And notice how well Kenobi's defenses held through that entire duel. His defenses were just as impressive as his offense.

Dooku one-shots:

^ Do you know what one-shot means?

Would that move be allowed in this sabers only fight?

Technically it's a physical attack. But usually we Group it in as part of Sabers, which is why most here consider Maul and Dooku close in Sabers, due to Maul's martial prowess.

An high-grounding.

Only the fact file isn't anywhere near the canon validity as the actual show. We unquestionably SEE that he has a chance against the brothers. No fact file changes that.

Dooku will win against any version of Kenobi every day of the week. Can we stop now?

There is zero notion that fighting two foes in an enclosed area is at all advantageous. It's ludicrous to even propose such a theory. Fight mimic fights, no matter the medium. Would you rather take on two guys in a dead end alley with no where to go.. or take them on in the middle of an open street with room to maneuver? The answer is quite clear. We see this all the time. No, it was not better for Kenobi in closed space, it was better for the Brothers.

Defeating someone with one blow.

But it was a joke, anyway.

It's stated that Vader couldn't penetrate Kenobi's defenses in ANH.

That's honestly unexplainable but oh well.
