Mind you that Pirates of the Carribean Online is canon EU. Commentaries of staffs doesn't necessarily mean canon. For example, George Lucas once said that Starkiller is the most powerful SW character there was, but everyone doesn't follow it.

Yes well I might agree with you that Zorro can be a better fighter at times compare to Sparrow, but what you said earlier of Sparrow being an unskilled fighter is very untrue. Don't use commentaries as evidence. Watch the movies and read the EU instead.

"With out trickery both Turner and Barbossa had Sparrow on the ropes."

I highly disagree with that. During his fight against Barbossa, Sparrow  had th upperhand and even managed to stab Barbossa in the chest. Sparrow would have defeated and killed Barbossa if it wasn't for Barbossa's immortality. This means Sparrow CAN defeat Barbossa in a duel WITHOUT trickery but by skills. Also yes I do agree that Davy Jones didn't use much of his powers against Jack in their fight, but you have to consider Davy has superhuman strength. Davy only won when Sparrow's sword was snapped. In the fourth movie, Jack even pulled a Zorro move, by fighting multiple soldiers at once and defeating them.

There's also another thing you failed to consider. Jack has been dueling ever since he was a teenager. TEENAGER. And he won many duels since his youth. Zorro only managed to become a swordsman in his adulthood.

FYI: Using your environments as a weapon is skill of a fighter. It doesn't mean a warrior uses environments means he already lacks skills.

And again there's also another thing you failed to consider. Its the fact that Capt. Jack Sparrow is a great marksman. Evidence? Well during the fight against Davy Jones in the crow's nest, Sparrow, while swinging from a rope, shot Davy Jone's hands, and that's like a hundred meters away, while there's a storm, rain, and the ship titlting. Another evidence? Well Jack when he was a teen, practiced his marksmanship by throwing bottles into the ocean and shooting them. Mind you that it isn't easy. Flintlock pistols were not accrate firearms. For Sparrow to do such feats must have required skills, which he has.

P.S. Please don't force me to download or buy a DVD with commentary. You're not that lucky. Its better if you put a link or upload an actual video. Until then, as long as you haven't countered what I said in this comment, I rest my case.
