With an Force attack. Kas'im was shitting on Bane the moment he switch to his likely preferred lightsaber form. Even before then, the only reason Bane was winning was because his astronomical strength in the Force - something Cin doesn't have hear. Aside from that - Kas is pretty far above guys that can stomp high-level masters of multiple forms, and, even though i find the Tuk'ata scaling thing to be bullshit, Bane fighting through scores of them while being in less than optimal state is pretty damn impressive, yet, Kas was still his superior.

But again, it's not hard to surpass Cin's shitty feat because being stomped in emphatic fashion isn't anything to really talk about at all.

Honestly, Dooku's praise is better than those accolades, lmao. Just a bunch of lip-service and factually incorrect statements E.I. "unparalleled skill".
Leaves me wondering why you shit on Hord when Cin is more or less, in the same boat.

Yes, Draling hype boils down to basically being "one of" the best duelist of his era, and he's gotten praise from Dooku. Kas'im was the greatest in his era and was praised by Darth Bane.

Not seeing any big difference there at all.

Cin's hype is really impressive, certainly more impressive than Kas'im's by a significant margin. However, his actual showing is the shit my shit shits. What you guys are debating here [which showing is less shittier], is honestly, hard to analyze.

I mean, Cin lost to an Anakin that wasn't actually even trying, as he was choking another Jedi whilst fending off his attacks with extreme ease. As good as Anakin is, that's utter ownage at its maximum. For being considered one of the best in the Order, the Battlemaster and the Chief of Security, he certainly wasn't even close to living up to it all.

I'm not saying Kas'im would win, tho.

Dooku choked Kenobi for only a couple of seconds and blasted him away with TK to continue to deal with Anakin alone. It's pretty obvious that Dooku would not have been able to handle choking Kenobi + fending off Anakin for more time.

Big difference from killing Drallig with his lightsaber whilst simultaneously choking someone, effortlessly.

Dooku did those things in a matter of seconds; he couldn't afford to hold Anakin off with one hand and choke Kenobi with the other for longer than a couple of seconds, or he'd be overwhelmed.

Anakin, on the other hand, killed both of his opponents.

this doesn't matter, being wrecked by anakin doesn't remotely invalidate any of the accolades and would happen to kas'm as well, the points still moot.

It's not speculation, bro. We saw what happened afterwards. Dooku dies at the hands of Anakin. There's absolutely no way Dooku would've been able to fend off Anakin whilst choking Kenobi for more than a couple seconds and not die. You know it.



It doesn't invalidate them per se, but it sure as hell does make them seem much less impressive.

Sure, sure, there is no shame in being decimated by Knightfall Anakin, but you'd think a guy that was the Battlemaster, lightsaber instructor and praised by Dooku as one of the stellar swordsmen of the Order would put up at least a minimal fight against Anakin. Instead, Anakin completely shits on him with one hand while choking another Jedi. Imho, he didn't live up to his hype even a little bit.

The movie portrays it as if Anakin was only able to stand toe-to-toe with Dooku after Kenobi was ragdolled, and managed to defeat him after the dun moch scene. Before that there was nothing to suggest that Dooku was struggling.
