I still question Ulic's saber abilities even as a saber prodigy, even if 1 or 2 people think he's better than Yoda. DE Sidious however was better than Yoda, he was young and agile and very strong with the force, so I'd say he takes it in all 3 fights.

But Ulic stalemated a pissed off Jedi while seperated from the Force. Unquantifyable, but according to Kreia's descriptions (When she talks to Atton in Telos), it should account for a hefty bit.

Right and how woud you define it and put it against DE Sidious' abilities? You can't. Ulic could have held his own against almost all of the PT Jedi if not all of them(possibly), but the DE series is where the combatants start getting very powerful.. I still say he goes down in all 3.

Yeah, I remember that discussion. A jedi without the force is considered less capable than an average person because a large part of who they were is missing. Yet Ulic not only recovered, he still managed to get an excellent fighter.
Eh? Sidious lost to a Luke whose powers were being amplified by those of Leia.
Notice how the room gets progressively darker, up until the point we see Sidious pin Luke up against the wall. We then see Leia, surrounded by light, and Luke breaks the lock, as well as the darkness, which is visible through the scattering of the dark in the next panel.
The first time they dueled, Sidious put Luke on his ass.
I don't think Palpatine is dramatically out of practice at all. I'll say that he takes it all three times more often than not.
