The video has its merits.
If Plagueis entered into this confrontation with fore-knowledge of Obi Wan's capabilities and limitations, he would almost certainly just rag-doll Kenobi with telekinesis first thing, and not even bother with lightsaber combat. But if dropped in cold, he would probably approach him the same way he approached Venamis.
This isn't even too far off how KMC's finest and brightest would judge said match - i will be bringing screen-shots to embarrass certain people. But nevertheless, it's always funny to watch the triggering of feels happening first hand.
"Sigh."
Once again I am truly baffled by the complete lack of imagination and common sense so many on this board display.
Let me explain it to you; an actual fight in an actual story is NEVER as simple as "this guy is more skilled/powerful so he wins." You need to look at the little nuances and technicalities, the personalities and mind-sets of the combatants. That's how you write a good story. That's how you come up with ways for your protagonists to win against "superior" foes that still feel like a sensible outcome.
For example in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," in the episode "Fool for Love" Buffy is nearly killed by a run of the mill vampire because she was cocky and careless. Had she gone right for the kill she'd have won easily, but she did not.
Likewise, in "Princess Resurrection" Liza Wildman is able to defeat an immortal werewolf more physically powerful than her in part because he underestimated her and didn't take the fight seriously.
In this example, Jen flat-out admitted that if Plagueis knew in advance what Kenobi can do he'd just flatten him with the Force. But he DOESN'T know in advance and so won't do that because overt displays of power are not his usual M.O. Unless he gets desperate (like with those assassins), he usually goes for a more reserved approach and is generally reactive in his tactics. Just because he CAN blast Kenobi into mincemeat doesn't mean he will.
Also, unlike Venamis, Kenobi doesn't normally go for an all-out offensive. He'd put himself on the defensive. That means Plagueis won't feel the need to go all-out. This would allow Kenobi to lull him into a false sense of security and then cut him down as soon as he gets an opening.
Seriously, people need to learn to appreciate the subtleties that make these videos so much fun to watch, and the analyses that are incredibly helpful when considering how to construct fight scenes for your fan-fictions.
Also I notice no-one gives Jen or Even credit for giving a far more positive review of Plagueis's prowess as a fighter.
Cue the hate and mockery. If it's not too difficult please try to actually pay attention to my points while you're at it.
