everybody is always saying that obi wan was the best candidate for beating grevous because of his form. didnt mace master soresu too?
if so was obi wan just better at soresu?
yes, Mace indicates that Obi-Wan was better at that form in the ROTS novelization when he sends Obi-Wan after Grievous. It was BECAUSE of Kenobi's form that he was chosen. (so yes as far as the Jedi Council was concerned.)
mace could take kenobi, however, just comparing their SORESU abilities, Kenobi has the edge. In a fight between the two however, mace wouldn't use Soresu, and so Kenobi would lose.
I think what Mace says to Obi-Wan in the ROTS novelization is that Mace may have invented his own lightsaber form, but Obi-Wan is the master of the ultimate form.
WTF is starbuck? i got my info from wookiepedia, and yes, i know there is juyo, although it is almost entirely out of use by pt. Any similarity in my wording/sentence structure to someone else is coincidental. Its bound to happen sometime. And, yes, he has mastered all 7 forms. But Kenobi is the ultimate master of form III

Stop waiting.
I''m not sure if you're wrong, but I'm pretty sure Mace was referring to the fact that Obi-Wan mastered the ultimate form in regards to fighting Greivous. Mace noted that Soresu was the best lightsaber form to counter Greivous's own style of combat.
And uh... don't mind McLovin. He's our token black guy... he probably won't survive long enough to make it in to the sequal.
Aside from that...
I think that Mace is highly proficient in all forms of lightsaber combat, however, Obi-Wan mastered Soresu itself to a higher degree then anyone else in history.
Master Starbuck, the last guy here to put up that exact same argument in those exact words.
Which isn't as canon source...
Apparently, you don't read.
PROVE UP. What canon source states that Mace has mastered all lightsaber styles? The EGttF states that Juyo mastery requires mastery of "other" forms, not all other forms.
