Oh, hi, welcome to KMC - as this is your first time around comics, take a moment to familiarise yourself with some concepts.

-Extensively trained in lightsaber combat by Dooku himself: ie. one of the finest swordsmen the Jedi Order has ever produced(second only to Yoda and tied with Mace.)
-The ability to mimic new fighting styles on the fly -- a trait he used to approximate a version of Mace's Vaapad(arguably the most advanced form of combat in SW lore), nigh-instantly.
-Massively enhanced strength/durability/speed(see below), thanks to his cybernetics.
-In the RotS novelization, it was stated that GG was attacking Kenobi at 20 lightsaber strikes per second... Bruce ain't parrying all that with a single blade and far less lightsaber training.It's the General's fight to lose. 👆
👆 Grievious wins this, especially with Tartakovsky feats. Then it becomes a horrific stomp.

I wish disney would launch a show about General Grievous, since we already got Asaaj and Dooku shows. That would be fun to watch.
Originally posted by Infinaut616Bruce lacks the true combat precog of a seasoned Jedi, and also lacks the advanced lightsaber training of a high-level Jedi Master. Picking up a lightsaber and using it effectively ain't as easy as picking up a rapier and fighting Ra's... But even if it were, Grievous still wins. 👆
Obiwan did. 😛
Also worth mentioning that Kenobi was regarded as the master(not 'a' master, 'THE' master, per Mace himself) of Form III/Soresu, which gave him a nigh-impenetrable defense -- his absolute mastery of said form is actually why Kenobi was selected to confront GG in the first place.
Originally posted by Infinaut616Unironically, this is exactly what I'd like to see as well. GG's backstory is criminally underexplored in canon, but has SO much potential. It's actually a pretty tragic story, tbh.

Thus far, the best iteration of Grievous we've seen in canon(as far as characterization goes) was during the Son of Dathomir series:
Now that was peak Grievous, imo. 👆

LOVE seeing SW threads over here! 😄Anyways General Grievous stomps with Legends feats in play. Canon only feats would make it closer since Filoni intentionally watered him down for Disney.

But on the other hand. Batman.

Legends Grievous was a legitimate threat to any Jedi in single combat -- even guys like Mace essentially had to use the Force in order to temporarily beat him.
Canon Grievous, however, was clowned by Kit Fisto and is solidly below most of the legit/named Jedi. Also, the RotS novelization is technically non-canon, so the 20 strikes/second thing goes away as well.
GG is one of the very few characters who were intentionally gimped by current canon at the onset(like Eli said), and unfortunately he has yet to fully recover. He is still really strong/durable/fast/etc. thanks to his cybernetics, but just not to the same extent as his Legends counterpart.
