@amethystgravity: Sure, but Gaalan nor Vol (especially not Vol) were fodder characters. It's impressive that Jaina defeated three Sith Sabers on Dromund Kaas, but nonetheless, they're fodder.
As for the quotes, I don't think it's a stretch to say that she could delay an aspect of Abeloth for thirty seconds.
How is she just merely "combat equal of anyone in the order", by halfway into the Vong war she was already equal to Kyle Katarn/Kyp Durron (by her duel with Kyp). By the time of The Unifying Force she's already engaging multiple Vong slayers (one proved difficult for Kyp) so she reasonably surpassed either by that epoch,so by the time of FOTJ and with Jacen gone was there anyone else who was truly on par with her? I always thought she was second only to Luke at that point.
She would be second to Luke, but even that doesn't make her the "combat equal of anyone in the Order". It's unquestionably exaggerative flak, but it's still obviously a very good accolade.
Those aren't her best force feats either she was able to shatterpoint durasteel, use deflection to block Vong plasma which can disintegrate X-wings/destroyed the Tsik vai which shot it at her, telekinetically exert control over Ben, drop a 50 meter mogo tree with a push, as well as blast back multiple Sith. I don't see Ahsoka replicating any of those feats.
Yeah, I'm aware of this. I said it's obvious that she's more powerful, I'm just not seeing her using this power to dominate Ahsoka, and I'm not seeing her tear Ahsoka apart in a duel (which is what other users are implying by parroting the use of the word "easily").
Considering Ahsoka could not insta K.O any of the Inquisitor's who are roughly high-padawan to knight level I'd say outright blitzing fully trained Sith is beyond her.
Additionally, one does not need to equal or more powerful than someone to TK them (not ragdoll, Barris and Anakin is a good example), just within their general power range or take them by surprise. Nevertheless it does not stop her from employing massive parts of the environment for distraction/battering rams as she has been known to do.
For the record I'd say Ahsoka landing that TK on Vader was the result of Vader being surprised by her advancement and not fighting seriously. As after that the fight becomes extremely one-sided in his favor and Tano (despite it being standard for her to blast back people when pressed i.e. her second fight with Grievous, Trandoshens (I'm sure I've misspelled that) and the Fifth Brother)
I would also say that Jacen and Jaina were equal in potential, but that Caedus was simply more developed. Much like Anakin slowly working up to his potential. when pushed far enough Jaina could employ that potential, just not consistently
1. I'm not particularly versed in how skilled the Inquisitors are, so I won't comment. But it does seem that their difficulty with Kanan and so on suggests that they wouldn't be particularly skilled.
2. I'm aware. That's precisely why Jaina TK'ing Caedus is circumstantial.
3. Fair enough.
4. They're certainly at least close in potential, but skill and mastery of techniques is also pivotal in their application, and Caedus is obviously much more versed in the ways of the Force as a whole. That's why Jaina admitted that she was simply outclassed by Jacen's Force abilities.
