Loses at 5. Is there anything to suggest that Wibdu grew notably between TPM, AotC,...

There are actually a few ways I see it

1. Wartime experience- Windu's primary combative experience as both a martial combatant and force wielder would've been the Clone Wars, and that would've also spurred the greatest necessity for an emphasis on his combative ability.

2. Inner Darkness- Windu's inner darkness is stated to be something he feared until after his experiences on Haruun Kal, and that his fear of his own inner darkness gave it more power over him and would make him recoil from it. Obviously if you don't understand a part of yourself you're less comfortable wielding it, and Windu notes his own inner darkness as being both his weakness and the strength upon which he built his entire fighting style, so his ability to understand and wield the cornerstone of his fighting style would definitely impact his effectiveness as a fighter.

3. Feats- Obviously if his best feats take place at a certain point, it's more justifiable from a debating perspective to say he's at a certain level once he acquires those feats, which is inevitably later in the timeline. So in this sense it's justifiable to say he improved because the evidence of his abilities provided points higher the later on you go in the timeline.

4. Depa Billaba- the argument can be made that if Mace considers her bladework on par with or greater than his own as of the Akk Dog fight well before the start of the Clone Wars, and that if Mace's circumstantial fight with her on Haruun Kal proves him having considerably superior bladework, then consideration of both instances suggests improvement on Mace's part.

4/5.

Not seeing how he dies at AotC/TCW, tbh. Insider confirms as of AotC Dooku outclassed any Jedi in the Order besides only Yoda, and there's confirmation his understanding knowledge of the Force is superior to any of his peers -- which Mace was stated as.

So I'd say he at least makes it up to four.

Kurk
Honestly a fight between Dooku and Mace would come down to environmental factors, the situation, state of mind of both characters. Neither of them has a clear skill advantage which outdoes the other.

Ziggystardust
4 or 5, probably 5.

Petrus
5 definitely, 3 maybe and 4 most likely.

The Ellimist
Toss up 2 and 3, loses at 4, obviously gets annihilated at 5.

MythLord
I see no reason for 2 or 3 to stalemate the Count; he's confirmed by AotC to outclass any Jedi besides Yoda, and I don't think a year and a half of wartime experience is going change that for Mace.

Still 4 or 5.
