Anakin Skywalker versus Obi-Wan Kenobi

> MFV
> MFK
> Only Force battle, no h2h or sabers

Who wins?

Stalemate. Perhaps Anakin will win due to a more aggressive use of the Force.

Vader's force reserves dwarf Kenobi's so he'll outlast Kenobi and claim victory.

Anakin in a marathon.

Obi-Wan is more tactical and defensive in his Force usage. Anakin will expend most of his energy trying to overwhelm Kenobi, who having an intimate knowledge of Anakin's fighting style will know how to dodge or parry them. 

He has this.

Bro wut? This is a pure force bout. Kenobi being familiar with Anakin's saber style will be utterly useless. This will come down to force reserves, which Anakin has near limitless amounts of. Kenobi isn't winning lmao.

Skill and strategy > raw power. Sure, maybe he can outlast Obi-Wan on the basis of larger Force reserves, but Anakin will definitely expend a lot more energy than Kenobi. Unless Kenobi is just standing in one place throwing blasts at Anakin (which isn't specified so I assume it isn't), he's entirely capable of holding his own here.

Anakin should.

Completely disagreed. Kenobi will need to expend at least as much to meet Anakin's power. If he commits less he'll get dominated and in a war of attrition, Anakin's youth and greater reserves will be the deciding factor.

Or he applies a fraction of its power to slightly alter the course so it misses him, as he and others like him have done in the past.

Depends how much of those reserves Anakin expends.

Do you have any examples of this defensive strategy? I've never seen Kenobi use the Force in the economical fashion you are suggesting. In the actual fight, he attacked Anakin offensively if you go by the script or tried to meet Anakin's own Force push head-on if you go by some of the secondary sources interpretation of the scene. On Obi Diah he simply braced himself for the impact as did Anakin when Dooku Force pushed them. Not seeing this redirecting strategy going by actual showings.

Anakin clowns

By Mustafar, it is clearly demonstrated that Anakin can't harness power that overpowers Kenobi. He is clearly immensely hindered and his mastery over the Force's flow is extremely diminished, and as far as singular exchange, Kenobi=Skywalker. We have seen that in the movie, and I have no reason to rely on other secondary sources. Movie is the most important.

Anakin, while he can't harness it properly, has far greater Force reserves though. I would presume that in the end we would have Anakin as the victor due to basically, using gaming nomenclature, more "mana", lol. He won't overpower Kenobi until he starts fading in stamina, so it's worth noting that that the two of them really have only Telekinesis at their disposal as the means of Force combat. Given that Kenobi is far more ingenious, and is just better in tricks and weird tactics, I could see Kenobi perhaps winning due to some lucky strike with unorthodox tactics in a prolonged telekinetic battle, so I by no means think it's a sealed thread.

whats the mindset?
