Drallig was more technically skilled than Anakin in that he knew more forms, but when it came to sheer skill, as in natural proficiency with a blade, Anakin was flat-out better.

Boo boo's
1. We don't know the exact reason why Anakin beat Cin; it could've been augmentation related; similar to how Dooku lost, or Anakin basically blitzed him through superior strength and speed. If not that, then Anakin won through superior lightsaber skill.
Lightsaber skill to me means anything not related to force augmentation that a user relies on to defeat an opponent in battle. This could be knowledge on the forms, in-depth mastery of one or more forms, knowledge of weaknesses, etc.
E.g Vitiate doesn't have shit when it comes to saberskill, but he has incredible augmentation to make up for it.
Pre-Vizsla could be an extremely skilled-duelist (not saying he is), but could easily be defeated by padawans due to his lack of augmentation.
As for natural proficiency with a blade...meh....I say that falls into the force power-level category.

And generally speaking I agree quality > quantity
That's why Dooku himself said something along the lines of a jedi who focuses on all the forms will never be as effective in combat as one who dedicates all their time to solely one.

They are angry because they have been forced to recognize that their hour has arrived; that the time has come to surrender power to Shimrra and the new order."
In the Senate room fight Yoda clearly had the upper hand on Sidious in their lightsaber duel BUT the terrain favoured Yoda heavily as there was no room for Sidious to maneuver trapped in the Chancellors podium. A fight on neutral ground would be a different story I think, as seen when Sidious fought the Zabrak brothers he's almost unstoppable when he's got some room to maneuver.
this thread got dead at the moment of its inception
