I have done much research and my results have given me the anwsers that Darth Sidious is one of the greatest sith to ever rise. He faught Master Yoda in an amazing duel and came out "victorious", but he was throwing things at yoda, i would say that their duel was a draw, at first yoda was on the offensive but then The Emperor gained the advantage when he used force lightning, they both went flying. Yoda then knew that the troopers were coming. Soo he escaped. They had one of the greatest battles i have ever seen in my entire life, probably second best to Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, the greatest lightsabre duel ever.May the force be with you
Yoda had so many disadvantages, really, At one point of the battle he had to flip all around sidious while he stood ground. Fair? NO!
Another time Sidious had the high ground advantage and yoda was below him. Paply threw oval balconies at him and yoda still managed to throw em back.
Lets put it this way Its easy to throw a bag filled with tons of sand correct? But to catch it and throw it back is pretty damn hard. Yoda did this.
Another thing. He lost his lightsaber which made the match even more dangerous for him. Did he hold sidious off? yeah.....he defelcted his lightning and gave him all he had.
Overall, Yoda is a great master, and could have easily kicked his ass if the terrain was flat or the area was a more balanced arena where you cant expect any turnovers. IMO sidious is not all that powerful.. i mean some jedi and sith are better at one thing than they are at another.
Good point!

um let me get this straight. fisto is the third highest ranked master in the jedi councel. mace is secound. yoda is third. sidiuos killed two of three jedi masters and deafeted the other one. you have to be insane to say that sidiuos is not an excellent dueler.
well, mace believed in anakin, so he dident really get his as kicked. Many people say that it was all part of the plan to hold on Mace and seem like he was trying to take over, but i have read many nooks that have different opinions toward this, and i have to say that Sidious dident know what to expect with windus Vaapad style, if you read, his syle converts the siths anger into fear and makes the battle much worse for them.

high ground or not. both of them in the biggening where on the same level. so it was 100% yodas fault that he lost ground therefore making him inferior to sidiuos
At the same lvl? lets see here. COmpare height. Yoda is 4 ft smaller than sidious and his style requires physical energy. Paply was not tired at all cuz all he had to do was stand in one position and move his lightsaber around. This happened b4 they were at seperate locations. So the lvls and advantages changed frequently throughout them battle.
Yeah i remember and Paply was screaming to not be afraid of that fear and use anger in power instead of it. All i have to say is read the books man i know enough about dooku vs anakin to tell you that anakin was equal to him before he stopped being afraid of what he was feeling and converting it into raw power. Also Dooku changed syles dramatically during that battle he wasnt even using his form 2. So he was cocky and deserved what he never expected.
