can Kun overcome this strange duo ?
he's obviously stronger than either one of them individually but with Obi holding up the saber front and Kreia taking it to Exar with the Force can they scrape off the win ?

Well, Exar Kun would be better than either of his opponents in saber mastery, but Traya is clearly stronger in the Force. I guess it's a race to see who blasts who into oblivion while Obi-Wan is an afterthought.
i wouldn't say Traya is stronger than Exar in the Force
she may, and I repeat may, know more but in terms of power i'd say he's stronger by a bit a small bit though

She killed three Jedi masters with a wave of her hand. Granted, Exar Kun was able to overcome Odan-Urr using the Force, and tool Vodo using a saber, but three master jedi in the blink of an eye? I'm sorry, but that's one of the highest street-level showings in SW. To argue otherwise is lunacy.
I've often argued that she gained this ability by achieving a force bond with the Exile. It's interesting that if she had this ability for a while, why she didn't unleash it on Nihilus or Sion(Sion specifically)..
Obi-Wan? An afterthought? I highly doubt it, unless Exar Kun uses the Force/amulet blasts at him. Obi-Wan's lightsaber defense is among the best (if not the best) we've ever seen from a duelist, and while he has no chance of overpowering Kun with a lightsaber or with the Force, he certainly won't be steamrolled aside. Afterall, Obi-Wan managed to contend with General Grievous's onslaught of four lightsabers, with each moving at twenty strikes per second. I don't see Kun doing better than that in terms of sheer power and onslaught.

Good question. With Nihilus, I would assume it would be wasted effort, because Nihilus himself is somehow a wound in the Force or a tear; as for Sion, she did something to cow him when she came back to Malachor V.
I agree. Look how fast Dooku took out Kenobi with the Force. Kun could likely take him out faster. Then it's him vs. Traya which I think Kun would take.
Just a question but um, wouldn't it be "KMC: Why Think Differently"? I mean if you're going to bash a forum where its users are outdebating you, I would think you'd use proper English, but that's just my opinion.
First, the creator of the thread has directed that this duel has no restrictions or limitations.
Second, Janus did not "note that this would be the case in a Force fight", since he clearly indicated that Traya is "stronger in the Force". It wouldn't exactly be much of a race if someone is a clear superior, Faunus. Besides, I don't see where he said "this is only in a Force-only duel".
He's also "clearly" stating that it will come down to "who blasts who" first, then implying that in such a situation Obi-Wan would be an afterthought. I don't understand why you're actually debating this with me, since I thought I made it obvious that that wasn't at all my intent.

Mostly the decision was for space, as I didn't want anything too overlapping. Either way the phrase is still correct and you still grasp the meaning, which is the whole point.
If by out-debating you mean "shouted down by the vocal majority who refuse to give an inch" then by all means, use that definition. But don't imply that I've lost a given debate unless you're prepared to demonstrate how, when, and where. Feel free to use adverbs since you're such a stickler for detail.
Refuse to give an inch? Janus, do you know what egocentrism is? I can't seem to find anyone more egocentric than you. You refuse to accept canon sources because you either don't agree or it doesn't fit your argument, instead trying to diminish a character you strongly dislike with some ridiculous argument. And yes I'm a stickler for detail because if you're going to go through the trouble of talking shit and making a banner (apparently at your age you have nothing better to do), then I suggest you be as precise as possible, otherwise "sticklers" like me will point out every detail..
