Who wins?

Sabers
All Out

Only two face each other at a time with the other one waiting. All fighters receive full rest between battles.

My bet is on Mace.

I'd go with Mace even if Anakin is Lightsided, He's still somewhat superior to Dooku and Anakin in terms of lightsaber prowess imo

Anakin and Mace aren't that far apart in sabers, and Anakin definitely takes Force, honestly.

I would put Dooku over Windu, albeit not by much. That being said, I have Anakin winning this.

Dooku > Windu > Anakin in both scenarios.

So if this starts off with Anakin vs. Dooku then Dooku scratches a win. By this point Anakin has surpassed Dooku in raw power and is rapidly approaching him in his ability to channel that immense power. That being said though Dooku is one of the most versatile fighters in the mythos and his combinations of lightning, Makashi, and TK will be a huge assistance especially considering he won't have to waste energy wiping Kenobi out.

Dooku vs. Mace Windu:
As has been stated in the factbooks Dooku and Yoda both have a history of out sparring Mace Windu. Given that Dooku always harbored doubts about the Jedi way and was fairly arrogant it wouldn't be a stretch to say that Mace always got a slight boost from Vaapad when dueling Dooku. And as we know Vaapad has been in existence since Kenobi first took up specializing in a form. It can be argued that Mace's mastery increased between AOTCs and ROTS, but even as of Dark Rendezvous mere weeks before ROTS the narration calls into doubt that Mace would be able to defeat Dooku even on even ground.

To top it off Dooku took on Mace and Kenobi, and Anakin and Kenobi and lived to tell the tale these are the top duelists of the order . Its an impressive showing no matter how you slice it. Mace thinks Anakin is up there with the greats of the Order (himself included) and Dooku has shown throughout the Clone Wars that he's capable of defeating him. Even in ROTS he was able to duel with non PO'd Anakin while batting aside Kenobi repeatedly.


Conclusion: Sabers would likely go to Mace (barely), although he's not operating on the same Vaapad boost he got against Sidious, Tyranus is no slouch in terms of Dark Side energy, being described as a "Dark Colossus bestriding the galaxy". Mace's speed will likely be amped.

Force would go to Dooku, he's got the edge in TK and has force lightning which Mace will be able to bat away, but for versatility sake will be a great additional asset Mace will not get. So even if their TK is dead even Dooku can throw in lightning to throw Mace off. That isn't the case, Dooku has better force feats.
All Out: I think that with his superior force powers and on par dueling the edge is again with Dooku.

Very nice analysis. You've swayed me; Dooku wins. Didn't Windu also mention in Shatterpoint that he wasn't sure he could defeat Dooku?

Waste energy wiping out Kenobi? He casually threw him. Most of the duel was actually spent against Anakin one on one, and it only lasted a minute at most.I don't see how it's so hard to think that Dooku genuinely lost to Anakin because he was outdueled. I don't see why Dooku would even entertain the idea of him losing, if he didn't think there was a high chance of it happening.

Personally, never did care for the whole "Dooku wasted so much energy taking out Obi-Wan" argument to do damage control on being beat by Anakin, my opinion is that he just lost outright.

Anyways, I'd say the Mace would take this, while Anakin is close to him in saber prowess, if he taps into any Dark Side power it's going to hurt him more then anything, this wouldn't be a short fight, but Anakin would get taken out after awhile.
