Well, Mace does say that Anakin could possibly be the strongest Jedi ever (ROTS novel) and Anakin beat Dooku so he actually has a good chance against Mace, though I've always thought that Mace could take him because of Vaapad, it's good against Dark Siders, right? So he could probably take Anakin, in a very, very close duel.

Mace isn't used to fighting someone who actually has more raw power than he does. Mace has Shatterpoint, but, it took Obi Wan 15 minutes and a terrain advantage to find his opening against Anakin. Either Mace's ferocious Vaapad will hold off Anakin long enough for Mace to find a Shatterpoint, or, he will be struck down just moments before he can. Either way, tough fight.

I don't think Anakin is going to be able to take down Mace. He might have more raw power, but the saber experience and overall experience goes to Mace. Not to mention the intelligence and patience advantages all belong to Mace.
Arrogant yes, but its not really a duelling fault unless his arrogance stopped him from killing Anakin when he had the chance. Unfortunately for the Count that chance never arised.
I dont see why he is impatient. Besides, even if he was this would hardly cost him the match.
Shatterpoint does not automatically mean Mace wins.
Dooku was simply outclassed by Skywalker. Mace is roughly equal to Dooku, therefore (among other factors) Windu is not going to win. Anakin 'in the zone' is just too good.

Except Mace's Vaapad and Shatterpoint put him above Dooku in the saber category. Not automatically but he's likely more powerful than Dooku with those two things.
Why is Windu automatically better, then the Count with Vaapad and Shatterpoint, Dooku has mastered the ultimate lightsaber to lightsaber style and is more experienced.
The Count's blade was quick as a viper striking. Among the other Jedi, perhaps only Mace Windu would have been his equal on neutral ground: but here on Vjun, steeped in the dark side, his blade work was malice made visible-wickedness cut in red light.
This is from Dark Rendezvous where Mace already has Vaapad and Shatterpoint.
In a lightsaber match only, Anakin takes this, but in overall, if mace can use Force powers, he wins.

It would be really tough for Anakin, but, as he gets into it he will just become stronger and stronger, to a point where Mace just can't quite keep up.
Mace could tell Anakin that he is beginning to give into his rage, and Anakin may temporarily stop (maybe even reducing Mace's Vaapad effectiveness), but, after that, and he sees Mace coming at him, he'll hold nothing back, and either
-A: Mace's Vaapad will reflect that hatred back at Anakin, and hold him off long enough for Mace to find a Shatterpoint.
-B: Mace's Vaapad will reflect that hatred back at Anakin, and, it still simply won't be enough.
At first thought I want to say Mace, but, Mace seemed to match Dooku (or they were close, at least), during the Clone Wars, (and there's the quote that Count Makashi provided for us), and Anakin made short work of Dooku. I guess I'll go with this: Mace would win if there are any advantages to be had at all in setting. Anakin would beat him after a very close match blade for blade, on even ground.

Re: Mace Windu Vs Anakin Skywalker
Oh yes! The outcomes in the video game are there not because of the skill of the player but the actual abilities of the characters! How could I have forgotten?
