Anakin Skywalker "I am a slow learner" VS Cin Drallig "There is one lesson you've yet to learn, how to become one with the force!"

Drallig

If Anakin gives into his anger Drallig is dead.

Other circumstances, IDK.

So? There isn't much evidence indicating Drallig is that skilled, and while AOTC Anakin sucked he still held his own against Dooku albeit momentarily. Drallig is featless and in ROTS was killed by him in a single stride

If you're referring to the game that's N-cannon, ROTS novelization shows him getting butchered without even an engagement.

Anakin is more powerful and more physically capable. He'd take Cin down.

Anakin.

Although he's got very few feats, pretty much every pertinent source acknowledges Cin as one of the Order's most elite swordmen. Make no mistake, Anakin was certainly gifted during AotC, but I'm not confident that he yet wielded upper echelon swordsmanship.

Siding with Cin.

Anakin pressed Dooku in a lightsaber duel, has encased himself in a haze of green light with his saber, and has vastly impressive TK showings in the Clone Wars miniseries.

Anakin pressed Dooku in a lightsaber duel AotC Anakin preformed decently against Dooku for a Padawan, but I certainly wouldn't say he 'pressed' the good Count.

"I'm a slow learner," Anakin replied coolly, and he came on then, so suddenly, so powerfully, his green blade whirling with such speed that he seemed almost encased in green light.

For the first time, Count Dooku lost his little confident smile. He had to work furiously to keep Anakin's blade at bay, dodging more than parrying. He tried to step out to the side, but stopped as if he had hit a wall, and his eyes widened a bit when he realized that this young Padawan, in the midst of that assault, had used the Force to block his exit."

The movie didn't show any such thing. AotC Anakin gets tooled.

Exactly.

Anakin preformed admirably against Dooku(especially for a Padawan), but that excerpt is non-canon, as it is contradicted by the film.

He performed just as well in the portion of the duel where he dual-wielded, which isn't contradicted by the movie.

Actually, he did okay, not well. Dooku still had control.

He fared far, far better than Cin did against RotS Skywalker regardless.

"Anakin!" he called, and he tossed the young Padawan the blade. Anakin caught it without ever breaking the flow of his fighting, turning it under and igniting it immediately, putting it into the swirling flow.

Obi-Wan wat ched in admiration as Anakin worked the two blades in perfect harmony, spinning them over and about with blinding speed and precision.

And he watched with similar feelings the working of Count Dooku's red lightsaber, flashing ahead and back with equal precision, picking off attack after attack and even countering once or twice to interrupt the flow of Anakin's barrage.

Obi-Wan's heart leapt in hope as Anakin charged forward suddenly, bringing his green blade over his shoulder and across, down at the Count. Obi-Wan understood immediately, even before he noted Anakin's blue blade coming up and over the other way-the green blade would push the Count's lightsaber out of the way, clearing the path for the victorious strike!

But Dooku retracted impossibly fast, and Anakin's down-cutting green blade hit nothing but air.

RotS Anakin>>>Dooku, you realize?

This surprisingly sums up my exact thoughts.

Nothing supports him being the best other than a dubious accolade, he has no notable feats, no depictions of force powers, and he went out like a ***** when he fought Anakin.

So much for "Teh bezt ov teh order". His best feat is literally dying to Anakin

Is it possible that what we saw in the hologram was the end of their duel and not the entire thing?

Its stated that Drallig lost in a short fight.

Quote or something if possible?

Makes sense. A source also stated that every Jedi located in the Jedi Temple at the time were ''no match'' for Anakin and his troopers.

Contradicted by Shaak Ti dueling with him and then being able to successfully retreat.

A successful retreat does not contradict that she was no match for him.

No but it does suggest Anakin didn't steamroll her.

No one claimed as much. But he did force her to flee fairly easily.

Man, for a second I almost thought you were talking about Mace's dream team.

Yeah, I thought he was referring to Exar Kun or Tol Braga.

"At one point Ti engaged Vader in a fierce duel. Despite her great skill as a warrior she was unable to defeat him. However, Ti did escape after managing to disorientate Vader."

A fierce duel implies not easily.

Not lol as in 'thats so true', lol as in 'thats so retarded.'

It wasn't a as in you were funny, it was a as in your above average amount of silliness is pretty damn entertaining sometimes.

I think we're all expecting too much for Lucas to make sense in his writings.

SW in general doesn't make sense.
