General Grievous vs Obi-Wan Kenobi (Read OP)

He had pre-knowledge into Grievous and how he functioned from Mace, he had a form that was perfectly suited to countering Grevious's. Add this to the fact that GG was legitimately fucked by having Durasteel driven through his innards and his chassis crushed by Mace, GG was operating on a major injury. Yet he still broke Obi-Wan's guard and overloaded his defenses

We know that it requires specialty machinery and parts to repair GG and given the timeline of ROTS, there is zero opportunity for such repairs to have happened. Without those injuries, Kenobi probably wouldve ended up little different than Shaak Ti, albeit much more difficult of a fight

The OCW and LoE accounts differ irreconcilably in so many ways. In OCW Mace is shot down from a hotwired Droids starfighter and confronts Grievous as he's departing. In LoE Kit and Mace arrive to the bunker by way of gunship long after Grievous had left the scene.

The RotS Novel follows the narrative established by Labyrinth of Evil where Mace never crushed his chest. He doesn't even have his signature cough which is the entire point of the scene, to explain why he has one in the movie. 

Grievous didn't pierce his guard, he overloaded his capacity to rely on pure defense overcommitting himself in the process, then Kenobi stopped turtling and launched his counterattack and handily dismantled the cyborg.
