ROTS Obi-Wan Kenobi vs ROts Anakin (rematch)

There seems to be some discussion to if Obi Wan should have won. Should've he? I don't think so but I want your opinion. I made it a post so I could see the results.

he killed kids and lost his cool.
he got what he deserved

he couldnt calm down and focus his lightsaber swings,
during the whole duel he was basically throwing a temper tantrum with his lightsaber while obi wan stayed focused.
granted obi wan was getting exhausted,
but when you duel with anakin's mindset it becomes easier to make a mistake.
which he did and thats why he lost.

Obi Wan was a way better swordsman, not as strong in the force though. Obi Wan would win with difficulty.

youre not being objective

I said that Anakin was more powerful in the force, and obi wan is a better swordsman. So it should be pretty equal. I think obi wan will win because he has a bit more experience.

what did i just tell you about experience?

i think Anakin would lose 8 out of 10 to Obi. Obi fought from the position of advantage the entire fight, giving ground, just like Soresu dictates. Goading Anakin, Almost killing him in the hallway, almost leaving him to die on the Girder or whatever it was. Obi-Wan just knows anakin to well to lose to him. His style is a perfect counter for Anakin's rage. Soresu is at its best against many strikes at once, using the other person's own energy against them with minimal effort to wear them down. Eventually anakin, being immature, in this fight, will always make the mistake. Name one mistake Obi-wan made in his fight against anakin, one overcalculation. He was in complete control.

Experience helps. OK! That is why Obi wan got better as the movies went along. If experience didnt help, than obi wan would be a wimp in episode III. OK?

if experience doesn't matter, 10 year old anakin is the be-all and end-all of force combat, he had the most strength, and potential. It took experience to turn that potential into skill.

Exactly.

Though this would be a tough fight, obi would win.

experience helps but should NEVER be the SOLE factor in why a duelist wins.
you cant just say he wins cause of expiriecne, give more substance in your answer

I never said that is the only reason he wins. He is a master of soresu, an unbreakable defense. Anakin is stronger in the force. Obi's experience and his speed are the tiebreakers.

ok as long as you mentioned something else other than experience then youre ok.

but what about anakin having more stamina?
does that come into play?

I've never heard that before. Please explain.

(panting and breathing hard) "i have failed you anakin, i have failed you"
(showing no sign of fatigue) "i should have known the jedi were plotting to take over!"

toward the end of thier rots duel, kenobi was near worn out but anakin just kept comming

The idea that Kenobi is faster than Skywalker is baseless. Where is the proof?

If he wasn't quicker, how would he be able to block anything 20 blows or less per second!?
