Lmfao, if Filoni treated Ahsoka with bias like you claim she would've done far better in her duels.
Losing to someone who gave Anakin one hell of a duel and another who has defeated Jedi Masters?
/s
Considering her opponents there, Ahsoka did far better then she should have.

Joker's saying that he disagrees with you that Filoni only writes Ahsoka having victories if that was what you were asserting.
It wasn't.

"Ya lol when fuloni is involved ahsoka is totally gonna be wanked" is the vibe I got from your post, ares.
If I'm wrong, okay, but the fact is Ahsoka hardly performs like some Goddess in the vast majority of her TCW fights, and regularly gets the shit beat out of her.
Ahsoka does get wanked by Filoni regularly. Hell, in her first appearance she takes out three MagnaGuards despite being "a little young for a padawan".
Sure, she loses from time to time but that's against opponents that, by all accounts, should be well outside her pay grade.
Originally posted by ares834Why? She's naturally skilled and trained by one of the best fighters in the Order + has a lot of battlefield / dueling experience (relative to most Jedi). There's also the fact that Filoni hardly respects Grievous that much anyways, so he could just be lowballing *him*.

Originally posted by ares834MagnaGuards get fodderized by ****ing Nahdar Vebb, so I don't think they're used as some elite fighters by Filoni. She had a lot of trouble with them and took one out via ambush.

Maybe because Grievous is a cyborg capable of slaughtering multiple Jedi and companies of clones barehanded on Geonosis and defeating half a dozen Jedi ( albeit exhausted ) many of whom were Council members on Hypori BEFORE much training from Dooku and Ventress has shown herself capable of going to briefly fight evenly with somebody who was deemed to be one of the powerful Sith warriors in 20,000 years before being confirmed to have grown in power, held off the greatest Jedi duo of the Clone Wars and possibly of all time on a consistent basis and beat the aforementioned cyborg in a lightsaber duel on Dathomir.
Holding off these individuals is something only a Jedi master could hope to do and Ahsoka is a freaking padawan. That's insane.

Yes, I'm sure Filoni totally took into account Legends in his calculations when writing scenes.
Removed the magnaguard example because while Baloni really should have taken into account the rest of the EU when making TCW you're right in that he probably didn't.
My point stands with Grievous and Ventress who's standing I refuse to believe Filoni was unaware of.
Honestly though, Ahsoka's power level works for her placement in the story. Make her average Jedi Padawan level, and she'd seem completely pointless to have around on missions and in combat if she's palling around with Anakin. At the level Filoni made her, the fact that her presence is warranted in certain situations and that she can be of any use actually makes sense, but she's still the underdog in basically every serious duel she's in, bar her fight with Barriss in Season 2.
