Tell me when Obi-Wan was pre-hit, physically, to distract him. The cases are different. Aayla was distracted, Obi-Wan was pre-harmed. If Obi-Wan is harmed, the type of weakness he displays is different, and the type of feat Ventress displays becomes different to the one Quin shows. You're also still trying to take my comments out-of-context just to make me look hypocritical. I said he might not be affected too much, not that he will, and instead of debating the point, you bring up an entirely separate instance which doesn't work in conjunction with the feat I was presenting.
In the case of Vos, you're also just calling it "slightly bruised Aayla". Since when did those bruises have any effect? I never referred to them, because, like Kenobi's injuries, they wouldn't have too much effect. In the case of Aayla, they were entirely negligible. I brought up Aayla losing her own concentration due to being hit by rocks. Obi-Wan never lost his concentration. He was just hindered, which is entirely different. He might not have been as powerful as Vos as this stage, but Ventress TKing him is still a decent showing.
She actually threw an explosive up to the exact location of the ceiling she manipulated beforehand, which would have affected the structural integrity. Furthermore, all she did was shake it. Shaking something doesn't require an excessive amount of power or effort. She just needed to keep doing it until the already structurally compromised rocks began falling, after being dislodged, letting gravity do it's thing.
Ventress just created a domino effect with the avalanche. You can create a snow avalanche from shouting too loudly. It's not that impressive. Certainly not better than Vos' feat.
1. She only threw it into one complex, not the entirety of the ceiling. And shaking a stone ceiling is still impressive, especially shaking it enough for the boulders to collapse.
2. And you're calling me an underseller. You're seriously bringing up creating avalanches via shouting? That's extremely rare which only happens if the snow is about to fall anyway - you might as well have waited another three seconds and the snow would have fallen without you shouting.
Obviously, the showing Ventress displayed was quite different. The snow was not in a position where the avalanche would have been caused via shouting, and it was not a domino effect (where in the world did you get that from?). She simply pulled off a huge blanket of snow - and pulling huge sloughs of snow is still impressive.
In one panel you quite clearly see one stuck inside of him, but anyway, you're really underselling the feat. After he was slashed, Aayla made her jump onto the boulder. In between that time they had time to say the following:
Master?
The Morgukai seek to break our concentration. *Pause* Focus.
What? Where was the one that was inside of him?
If you meant the one in the last scan, it's probably just one that was behind his arm, but the perspective makes it look like its striking his chest. Clearly, in the next two panels, Quinlan has no blades stuck inside of him.
Now I don't know about you, but after having held the boulder for such a long time, from this distance away:
.. and then being slashed multiple times, one shuriken staying inside of Vos, and then being able to continue holding the rock for about 5+ seconds, seems more impressive than what you've presented for Ventress, sans what you included in your edited post - which I haven't seen yet. Also, saying he couldn't have sustained it for another second is pure speculation on your part.
1. I'm pretty sure you've seen Ventress TKing Anakin and Obi-Wan from TCW alone, and that's a better feat than Quinlan's, given how TCW Anakin and Obi-Wan themselves are at least approachable to Quin, if not rivaling him in power.
2. When did I say he couldn't have sustained it for another second? I said he likely didn't sustain it for another second.
