Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-Wan Kenobi

The Combatants:

Rules:

• Standard Equipment
• Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi (The team) are their TPM incarnations
• Obi-Wan Kenobi (The solo combatant) is his ROTS incarnation
• ROTS Kenobi is morals off
• The team's morals are standard/ neutral

Setting:

The Battle takes place at the same location in which Darth Maul faces Qui-Gon and his apprentice in Theed

The Question:

Could Obi-Wan Kenobi perform what Darth Maul could not and defeat both Jedi?

RotS Obi-Wan could well win. He understands the Ataru form and the chemistry he had with Qui-Gon as an apprentice much moreso than Qui-Gon/TPM Kenobi understand his Soresu, which in of itself is a solid counter to their Ataru forms anyway. I'd also submit that Obi-Wan is as skilled as Maul, who was decidedly superior to both Qui-Gon and TPM Kenobi combined. He doesn't have the same advantages of unorthodoxy as Maul did, but he does have a knowledge edge on the TPM team as compensation. And I don't see the TPM team making it up in any other way (Force powers, physicals etc. all go to RotS Obi-Wan).

Sorry, I posted my callout list about ten or so seconds after your response and your post hadn't appeared on my screen yet

@shootingnova: Well said, RoTS kenobi's form knowledge of his opponents would help swing things in his favor in a big way.

I concur.

Before posting the thread, I had a vague preliminary assessment of sorts and reached a similar conclusion to this and would similarly favour ROTS Kenobi, although for a strong 8/10 majority due to, as you have stated, his form advantage and his duelling proficiency/skills being equal or roughly comparable too Mauls who himself outclassed the combined assaults of Kenobi and Jinn despite not being able to exploit the same form advantage ROTS Kenobi can readily exploit...

This should give Kenobi a solid majority. Also, although a minor factor, he is far less likely to become complacent and cocky, as Maul did and would hence be somewhat more focussed perhaps.

Any reasons?

Maul was not as aware of all the inner workings of Kenobi/Jinn's forms and their synergy with each other (which RotS Obi-Wan will be), but he also had the distinct advantage of unpredictability. His form and weapon were unlike anything Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon had ever fought before.

That never factored in the TPM fight until Maul literally had Obi-Wan dangling on the precipice of death.

I agree.

I simply meant that Kenobi's form advantage and insight into his opponents forms/ synergy at least equals Mauls own advantage, deriving from his stylistic unpredictability and unprecedented form/weapon which should henceforth secure Kenobi a similar success to Maul's, minus the momentary lapse of judgement and resulting bisection...

I think ROTS Kenobi wins only if he has knowledge of who he's fighting and if he's morals off. In a true hypothetical situation he would not inherently know what his opponents were capable of (in the sense that he is dropped in cold).

Obi-Wan should win this. He knows his own, and Qui-Gon's forms inside and out and that in itself is an amazing advantage. And he's also more skilled, physically superior and more powerful.

Ah kind of one sided thread tbh, since ROTS Kenobi clearly has the advantage of knowing his former self and his former Master.

If we had ROTS Kenobi have no idea who the duo were it would be more interesting. But I'd still say ROTS Kenobi would win, as he was > TPM Maul.

Looks like a stalemate to me. RotS Kenobi's perfect defense prevents giving any opening to the team's Ataru combination, but also Obi-Wan isn't aggressive enough to beat the team for a majority as well.

I agree that ROTS Kenobi wins. His Soresu is a formidable counter to Qui-Gon's Ataru. He also knows the man very well, whereas Qui-Gon doesn't know how the older Obi-wan fights.

Obi. For reasons above, and a stamina advantage.

Others have already stated in betters words than can say, though I'll still give my own words. ROTS Kenobi is essentially Maul's equal in skill and so should comfortably outclass the duo as Maul did. Furthermore, he has extensive familiarity with the synergy and respective skills of his two opponents, and he's decently more powerful.

ROTS Kenobi. He's more skilled, more powerful and knows how the duo fights, and their weaknesses.
