Originally posted by quanchi112except snoke never overpowered anyones force power. Neither Rey nor kylo showed any signs of offensive or defensive force power against snoke. What he did was comparable to Yoda and palpatines small back and forth in palpatines office. Palpatine was able to put yoda down with lightning with relative ease when he had no defense up. Yoda did the same to him with tk with relative ease a minute later. Later in the senate chamber when Yoda put up a defense it wasn't so easy for palpatine.
That is just capitalizing on an opportune moment. We see Obi Wand dice up Anakin due to striking at the proper moment but this has no bearing on force power vs. force power. But now that I'm thinking of it despite the power superiority of Anakin over Kenobi we see both struggle to push each other back with the force. It isn't that easy to just overpower someone with relative ease unless you are Snoke. He is the pinnacle of force power seen in the mythos up to this point.
Same with anakin and obi wan. They we're both actively attacking eachother with tk, a little different than zapping kylo when his entire offense/defense consisted if taking a step or two foward.
Snoke did basically nothing different to Rey and kylo than what dooku did to Anakin in AotC, or what palpatine did to Yoda in his office. They all capitalized on an opportune moment. The only difference is their attacks led to ko's where snokes were much weaker and did not.
