best fencer
who is the best with a lightsaber? I think Sidious. From what we've seen and heard he's ambidextrous and conserves movement well.
These are based on available info and my own observations (I do European fencing and Kenjitsu)

fencing is fighting with a blade, not limited to the European one handed definition.

I know I'm not and the fact is Darth Tyrannus is the best at fencing.

Martial arts isn't just hand-to-hand, it includes learning to fight with weapons which can include swords. Think before you open your mouth, if you don't then stupid things come out as I have witnessed on more than one occasion.

What are you talking about? Fencing is a style of sword fighting, which, unless I'm missing something, INVOLVES SWORDS.

And I practice daily, and the entire question was, who was the best at fencing? Fencing, a particular series of parries, counters and foot placement.
Dooku or Sidious.

Dooku, I'd say. He was a master at the old saber technique, which was fencing.

Yeah, he slaps Anakin and Obi-Wan around and then holds off Yoda, who is THE Jedi master.

Lucas has said that Sidious is Ambidextrous and nearly unbeatable, Mace almost bested him because form 7 or Vapaad or whatever is unconventional.

no, but the lists are fairly common on the net and i believe are described in shatterpoint
anyway, fencing really comes down to four factors: Speed, Agility, Skill, and Handedness. the latter becomes a factor for the following reasons. Much of the two handed combat in SW is based on Kenjitsu which along with Kendo are predominantly left-handed. The left hand is on the bottom of the blade and is strength and control while the right hand is on top and is used mostly for fine tuning motions.
In single handed combat, as in most martial arts and many other sports, the lefty has the advantage by virtue of surprise and keeping his or her opponent off balance. A lefty would have much more powerful and graceful swings.
Palpatine is both Agile and fast as seen in the trailers and spoilers. His skill is not in question since he taught Darth Maul. This leaves his Ambidextrity which was mentioned by either Lucas or Nick Gillard or both (don't quite remember). Most Jedi we've seen have a hand preference, usually right (Luke is an exception, just like Mark Hamill, he is left-handed). so palpatine has it where it counts, he has speed, flexibility, knowledge, and surprise.
