Thanks, I learn from Quanchi
Originally posted by SunRazer I love how you highlighted the part where Venamis knew Plagueis' style inside-out but failed to mention that Dooku lacks such knowledge, and instead pretended that Plagueis' form was predictable. Which it obviously would be to someone who knew everything about his form, but not to someone who doesn't possess such knowledge, like Dooku.
Dooku would analyze Plagueis and find a pattern/weakness like Makashi calls for and exploit it. Plagueis on the other hand would not find such impurities in Dooku's form.

This would not happen with Dooku simply b/c of his dedication to Makashi. Being a defensive form, Plagueis would be forced to prod and attack not Dooku.

So no, Plagueis doesn't employ wild strikes lacking precision and finesse - it's the opposite - he drew that out of someone who appeared masterful in combat. So in actuality, Plagueis is quite the refined swordsman with understanding of technique and precision.
You are going to argue that Plagueis had a superior knowledge of Makashi to Dooku?

Who says he used it to humiliate jedi?

Sidious is stronger than Plagueis is the force. The disparity between Dooku and Plagueis is not so great that the latter can not contend with him long enough to exploit openings.

And in the end, you weren't even reading Ellimist's post properly. He never said anything about Dooku not holding the edge in pure saber technique, only that he wasn't vastly more skilled, which you didn't even address.
By definition all interpretations are valid
