At no point was Jaqen ever shown to be a skilled fighter.

does skilled assassin sound better? i will assume that being an excellent assassin comprises of more than the just ability to sneak up on people to stab them in the back. i mean if you try to do the old sneak stabby thing and the target turns around real fast with a dagger in his hand does that mean you just die? yeah, no. even assassins with fake faces do need to be proficient at fighting. especially one who wants to join up with boltons army and also terrified his 2 KL prison mates who are terrifying in their own right.

Except that faceless men don't normally use the old "stab in the back" assassin technique. They do weird shit like pushing people down stairs, poisonous insects, and getting dogs to rip throats out

Except when they break their necks or slit their throats or use poison darts and shit.

these 2 crazy motherfuckers were terrified of Jaqen.
http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Jaqen_H%27ghar
why? because they were scared he might throw them down a flight of stairs or shoot them with a poisoned dart? or that he may change his face and stab them in the back?
no its because jaqen along with being a skilled assassin is also likely a equally proficient swordsman/fighter. like syrio. im not saying 100% jaqen is syrio, but there are enough clues that its likely the case

Or, the more likely scenario, Jaqen used his Merman telepathy and basically instilled a fish-like fear into Biter and Rorge.

It involves a lot of fucking. Some horrible drunken mistakes like laughing off a prophecy of dying with only a wooden sword in his hand... while teaching a girl to fight. Nothing could be more implausible or insulting for the First Sword. After a misunderstanding with several goats and the daughter of Ferrego Antaryon, he takes up an offer from some white guy named Eddard Stark to teach his daughter to "dance", which he naturally assumed it was a Westerosi euphemism for "fucking". Syrio assumed it was an ugly daughter who needed to be taught how to please a man. After initial awkwardness between Ned and Syrio, he began his stay in King's Landing.

Something like that.

There is literally no evidence that Jaqen=Syrio other than them both liking Arya and both of them having been in Braavos at some point. Maybe Samwell Tarly is Syrio.

It could well happen but speculating about it with so little evidence is dumb, even Mermen has quite a bit of evidence if you interpret it that way.

Ok then why wasnt syrio's head riding a pike along with the nanny and ned? Dude is alive and if he isnt jaqen then hes somewhere else.

Cause he wasn't actually part of the Stark household? He was up against an armed and armored member of the kings guard, he was unarmored and had a broken wooden training sword. Dude is dead.

Because he's just some shithead retainer as far as they're concerned? The septa was a pretty high level servant not just a random hireling.

how would joffrey know he wasnt important? The way he fought and presumably died to protect arya suggests he was more than some hireling. Sorry guys, youll have to come up with better reasons why syrio is dead.
