Sidious is faster than all three; he took out three Jedi Council members in the space of a few seconds, he took two Sith on at once easily... one of which was Maul himself, Vader is one lightning bolt away from a shutdown as shown in ROTJ and Dooku struggled to keep up with Yoda whom Sidious beat.... hes got a better chance than you all give him credit for
Not really a guarantee that ROTJ Sidious will be as spry as his ROTS self. Esp considering he probably hasn't touched a saber in over a decade by this point.
Blitzing Tinn, Kolar, and Fisto is one thing. Blitzing Maul, Dooku, and Vader is something else entirely.
There's also the whole "dark side confusion haze" thing to consider.
Same as above. Savage+Maul is much different than Maul+Dooku+Vader.
Lightning isn't necessarily an 'insta-win' against canon Vader, given that he has endured a full-fledged lightning strike with massively damaged/compromised armor. Not to mention that Palpatine's lightning would only connect if Vader a.) lost his saber entirely, or b.) completely dropped his guard -- both of which are unlikely in this scenario, imo... Especially when you also have Dooku on the field, who is sure to be spamming his own lightning at Palpatine.
I mean, Dooku's powers also grew "noticeably" during TCW(to the point where Palpatine was keeping a very close eye on him), but that's neither here nor there.
Palpatine could beat them all individually, but all of them together? I don't see it. As mentioned already, Vader alone could give him a hell of a fight. /shrug
