The initial post I responded to mentioned he was untaught just like Rey, but his rise did in fact have these gaps in time for him to develop which is the fundamental difference from untrained Rey.

My initial post was specifically in reference to Rey’s ability to handle Kyle Ren in the first movie in a duel citing that he was severely injured, he didn’t actually want to kill her, she was competent with handheld weapons, and that Kylo’s trainer was never a master with the sword (he just straight up wasn’t) and has no reason to be much of a swordsman himself (which he’s not either really).
It’s not a bad thing. Luke wasn’t trained with a lightsaber from youth and spent no more than a a year or so being trained by people who had ever used one, both past their prime or dead. He can be powerful and not great with a sword. It’s okay.
