I'm inclined to give it to Mace/Dooku. Either of the two solid level combatants would be able to match Maul and might be able to do so before Sidious crushed their ally. Together their power might overwhelm him. (Although we have no guarantee teamwork would actually be a boon; it wasn't going to help vs. Dooku on the Invisible hand...)

considering lucas himself said that mace beat palpatine straight up theres no reason to think mace will be "barely" holding on. palps would have been dead if anakin hadnt showed up when he did.
mace beats palpatine then goes to aid dooku if his fights still going on.
Better saber prowess, and far superior force skills. What's to stop Dooku pwning him the same way he did Kenobi in ROTS who is better than Maul.
I agree but that was a lightsaber fight, not an all-out fight. If the fight would have been say in the senate chamber things would have gone very differently.
Soresu gives Kenobi a defensive advantage, but he was taken down by Dooku through the Force, if that's what you're referring to, but what actually makes Maul better than Kenobi to the point of saying Dooku could beat him via A>B>C?

ABC's don't generally work in Star Wars, but it's not like Maul combat Dooku if he switched to a Force fight. It's not like Maul will be too much for Tyranys in sabers either. He's pwned Ventress many a time and trained Grievous. Not to mention lasted 30 seconds against Yoda.
While I'll retract my statement of Dooku "comfortably" beating Maul, nevertheless he will beat him. I'm a big Maul supporter and argued in his favor against both Dooku and ROTS Kenobi at times. But I don't see it here.
Now Windu on the other hand will defeat Maul "comfortably". It's just I'm not sure how long Dooku could last against his master.
Mace beats or matches Sidious while Dooku beats Maul. Then Mace and Dooku beat Sidious.

The setting of Alto City would be much more open than Sidious' chambers. This would allow for better usage of Force powers, which might shift the balance in Sidious' favor if he dueled Mace Windu.
Anymore thoughts?

I'm beginning to have doubts about Dooku vs. Maul. Maul is much more physically fit than the elder Sith, and his style has an approach similar to Anakin's. It is conceivable that Dooku's endurance would again be pushed past the limit. Is there any evidence that Maul would be able to withstand the Force long enough to wear Tyrranus out?
