Ned didn't give a shit about take him alive. He was concerned about his daughters. For that alone he had no choice but to kill them all.

More like drunk poster! You know full well Ned had not a chance in hell to take them all out, and he's not one to overestimate his powers. Rygar, just concede the darn point!
And eventually it really is all pointless, no one could withstand the might and skill of #SerArthurDayne #SwordOfTheMorning #TheRealAzorAhaiReborn. Not even Faramir.
Ned would have killed Jaime and his men would be like, "Dayum, he just killed the Kingslayer, what the fuck we do now?" And while they are pondering their next move, Ned already disemboweled all but one of them. Just as Ned is about to put an end to him, Boromir arrives. Boromir pushes the Lannister guard to safety and deflects what would be Neds killing blow to him. Ned is so surprised to see a younger, but no less sexy version of himself that he loses focus and Boromir stabs him in the penis. Ned drops his sword and falls to his knees expecting an honorable strike. Instead, Boromir blows the Horn of Gondor in his ear and lets him bleed out, because that's the kind of prick Boromir is.

Rygar, that's not how you concede a point! This is how:
Ned strikes first blow because he's all emotional about Jory getting an eyestab (#YouKnowYouLoveIt) with Jamie's little blade (that's the knife, the big blade is stabbing something else- watch the vid).
Jamie deflects and after a generally fair amount of blade swinging, with a might comeback strike knocks off Ice from Ned's hands. Ned falls to his knees begging for mercy (#SerArthurDayneDuelCopycat), and here comes Howland Reed, sorry I meant Boromir to stab Jamie in the back. Cowardly done. Because that's the kind of prick Boromir is.
But Jaime is the blood of Lan the Clever... he heals instantly and takes Sean Bean's characters head's off. (#OneStrikeTwoHeads #OneRockTwoBirds).
Jaime defeats both and all is well in Westeros.
You are welcome! (I'm not touching the flaccid comment with a ten foot pole, bc Don WOULD be hard pressed not to ban me if I did. I would ban me myself for that one should I ever type it)
Ned strikes first blow Jamie deflects and... takes Sean Bean's characters head's off.
and then comes Faramir and snort them all. Even Yoren.

Faramir could blow his nose and destroy half of Rohan.
These are words of wisdom that I fully support.
But you all forgot about Yoren, who's the biggest boss out there. Arrows *and spears*? He's got that shit covered.

I think that the outcome of the duel was mostly even leaning to Ned's side.
My reasoning for this is because Jaime is incredibly overconfident at the start of the battle as shown by his taunt by raising his blade which Ned swats aside with his own and surprises Jaime with his speed of attack, I think that Jaime is surprised about this and barely manages to keep a defense up. that is where Ned's advantage ends however as they briefly break apart, Jaime gains a more resolves composure as he seems to try get his act together while Ned shows no sign of wavering regardless of his sweat, this cannot be accepted as a sign of weakness as Kings Landing is described as a Morrocan climate so it would be natural for a swordsman to get sweaty while fighting in Kings Landing moreover it is stated in the books that Northman and the heat do not mix as they are used to the snows of the North.
If the guardsman had not intervened, I believe Ned would have won as when he engaged Jaime, he did not repeat Jory's mistake of ignoring the advantage of reach his sword gave him over Jaime, he stayed his distance when he fought save for when they parried and locked and then Jaime was seen using every bit of his strength to try overcome Ned so he couldnt pull the dirk on him like he did with Jory whom he just directed the blow downwards and used this brief moment of confusion to stab Jory. People and my friends say Jaime has the advantage of youth, agility and hes a Kingsguard, while that is true, it does not mean that it having those qualities guarantees victory as shown in The Red Viper vs The Mountain. Ned was in a state of cold fury but the key point that I think makes him win is experience. Ned has fought way more than Jaime and was composed in the fight, Jaime however was overconfident which is a big mistake to make in a battle as is shown later in the series.
In conclusion, Ned would have won that fight because he has the advantage of composure and experience over jaime whom was arrogant in his abilities and overconfident in the fight.
