Kenobi's feats don't rival Malgus'. I thought you were looking into the TOR Protags. You should get back to that, since Kenobi is eclipsed by them, let alone Malgus.

Add the [B]@NephAs of now, Kenobi's ability to deflect the telekinetic waves of a being considerably better than a Dreadnaught-manipulator/tank-thrower is enough to suggest he can contend with Malgus.
Not to mention he's more durable/powerful than Aryn Leneer by any comparison possible and she withstood Malgus' TK just fine.
And in saber combat, getting stalemated by Aryn Leneer and Zallow(who's only best feats are murking fodder Sith and fighting Malgus) is hardly up to stack to combating General Grievous -- the murderer of hundreds of Jedi, Asajj Ventress -- someone Sidious feared, Darth Maul -- one of the best Sith duelists in history, Knightfall Anakin -- perhaps the greatest Jedi Killer ever as per a source that knows of Tulak Hord and Malgus, and Darth Tyranus -- a factually better swordsman than KoTOR Revan, Satele Shan, Exar Kun(at least during his Jedi years), Vodo-Siosk Baas, and equal of Mace Windu.

Anakin was weaker in that fight than he normally is, he was scaled down to be only as strong as Kenobi. Use Obi-Wan's own feats please. Plus that Dreadnaught feat is overblown. Not only is it from a highly exaggerated medium, but the thing was already levitating so it's weight was already supported. Anakin also had full concentration for that which he doesn't in a fight. His regular feats are far inferior. I can just as easily scale Malgus from a relative feeb like Thana Vesh leveling city blocks as a child. Adult!Vesh is fodder compared to any of the Act II protags, who themselves are far weaker Malgus is even in False Emperor when they're far stronger than at that point.
Kenobi isn't more powerful than Leneer, she's Malgus' near-equal and his own feats utterly eclipse Kenobi's. And she was tanking Malgus' physical strikes, when he was kicking people through pillars and was stronger than her, when even she could through the 300+ pound Sith 20 meters with one hand. Obi-Wan got knocked out by a single kick from Ventress once.
I like how "combated" is vague enough to mean whatever you want it to. But merely fighting people doesn't make you better. Malgus could fight Grievous, Ventress, Maul, Dooku and Hissyfit Anakin as well. Grievous fought and beat Kenobi a few times in sabers before Kenobi was able to figure out how to beat him. It wasn't his pure skill that gave him the edge there. Sidious was only wary that Dooku might be using Ventress as a true apprentice. She was obviously utterly no threat to him. And Malgus is also one of the deadliest Sith in history, as are 95% of every named Sith ever. Big deal. Then Anakin was weakened and out of balance and still winning for most of the fight and Dooku completely dunked on Obi-Wan constantly. Malgus can easily match every one of these fights. His skills were called flawless by the greatest Jedi duelist and he's had 40 years of constant combat to hone himself, 20 years of which against constant Jedi-Sith combat. When Malgus started out as one of the greatest living warriors and defeats the Jedi Battlemaster before any of this. Sidious himself praises Malgus as one whose battlefield feats have never been equaled.
Also not really fair to dunk on Zallow as that being his best feat when its the only place he appears in. You can scale him well off of Malgus himself and the fact that Malgus considers him the best Jedi present when we know that Corin Tok, who performed so well in this fight that he was considered literally invincible by the Empire, and Jarro, who butchered over a hundred elite Mando's in the fight, were also there.
