Well, now I feel you are putting words in my mouth. Before we knew about the "True Alpha" we were still classifying Scott as either a Beta or Omega. So Scott was fighting  against two people who either were just as powerful has him or more and all he has going for him is 1 month of experience over them. And that 1 month of experience is pretty much entirely self-taught. Also throughout the series when Scott would clearly be labelled as an "Omega", he performed just as well as Isaac did when fighting the Kanima or in the early Alpha fights. Then they revealed the "True Alpha" thing and it made sense to me if instead of spontaneously gaining Alpha power that Scott was in transition to become an Alph ever since he was turned.

There really isn't much of an explanation between near equalness between Derek and Ennis & Kali other than writer's error. Because he shouldn't have. Ennis and Kali were enhanced-Alphas due to killing their pack and then further supplemented by being apart of the Alpha pack. Derek really had no chance. Also look back to Season 1, the last fight between Peter, Scott, and Derek before Peter transforms into his Alpha state. Peter was untransformed and easily kicking Derek's and Scott's ass while they themselves were fully transformed. I don't know how true this is, I know that other people believe it but there is a concensus that a werewolve's strength depends on how transformed they are. They are at their strongest fully transformed, middle if only (eyes, teeth, and claws), and low just human form. Ennis, Kali, and the Twins were fully transformed enhanced Alphas but they didn't beat Derek's pack in 3x05 as easily as Peter was beating Scott and Derek in S1. If you take account of the difference between an Alpha and two Beta's in S1, and apply that to how the Season 3 Alpha's should be than the enhanced Alpha's should have been easily kicking ass with no effort. As I said, that one is on the writers.
