How do you know? You haven't seen Dooku deflect a Blaster bolt. Don't make poor assumptions. It's quite rude.
im not being rude, but it commonly known that makashi is weak against blaster bolts. and unless i have made a huge mistake Dooku uses Makashi. Now the chances are that there wont be any stray fire in which case Dooku proberbly wins after a while. But I was just saying its a possiblity that you have to think of, is that rude?

Do you think from 70 years of Jedi Training that Makashi is the only Form Dooku mastered/Use/Practitioned/knew of?
Seriously. For one, he was brought into the Order as a Youngling, and Younglings must first learn Form I, So he obviously knows that, and Form I deflects blaster bolts. Plus, for all we know, he has mastered all seven forms.

Look, Dookus in an exchange of blows with mace a bolt comes he then has to change form to a weaker duel style than vapaad handing the advantage back to Mace. im not saying Dooku cant deflect its just an extra hastle.
What makes you think it wont be a hassle for the "ALMIGHTY WINDU!!!1111"
His form isn't a solid dueling Form. While Mace handled the bolts, Dooku could chop him up just as easily as Mace chopping Dooku up while Dooku blocks bolts. Think about it.
Well, the only instance I've ever seen that says Makashi sucks against blaster bolts is KOTOR II. And that doesn't hold water with me.

Well, I don't think stray blaster bolts are going to be bringing down dueling monsters in the calibre of these two. Sure, it may be somewhat of a hassle having to block a saber and the stray blaster bolts, or maybe even purposefully fired bolts.
Now, it is of my belief that Dooku is almost purely a Makashi duelist. The purest duelist, in that sense, of his time. However, it would be foolish to assume that, after eight goddamn decades of training, he would be dumbfounded by a blaster bolt. Now, the Force is somewhat hindered here, seeing as how the duelists aren't going to be able to pull off a strong Force attack without exposing themselves to fire. So, this essentially comes down to a duel, which could go either way. But by Dooku's completely saber-oriented style, I'd give him the victory. However, only by the slimmest of margins.
i know that nobody can actually be 100% and i know that some of you will agree with me while others disagree but the way i see it, mace windu was a better duelist than count dooku and i don't think force powers would be a factor in the result of this duel (it is already known that mace windu was great at resisting force powers, even better than master yoda) so therefor mace windu wins. Now you can disagree but just remember that nobody can completely be right so lets try to keep this forum free of arguments and cursing and stick to debating tour issues.

No need to play the Mod.
And pray tell, how is Mace Windu better at anything than Yoda when it comes to combat?
well faunus, sorry to burst your bubble but as you see in the film star wars episode 3 : revenge of the sith, mace windu is about to strike sidious down but is caught off guard and is still able to block it, whereas yoda was caught off guard by sidious and lost his lightsaber. And im sure that if given the chance under circumstances like yoda, mace windu would have been able to block it with his hands aswell. I dont play the mod but when i see someone like you who sees themselves as god pick on someone for no good reason i like to stop it.

Where did Sidious ever catch Mace off guard ?
whereas yoda was caught off guard by sidious and lost his lightsaber.
He dropped his lightsaber - how often do I have to repeat that ?

Mace might be able to block lightning with his hands. But still Yoda is the superior duellist and force user - in fact he is the most powerful force user and duellist in the movies.
Windu and Dooku might be quiet close in both duelling skills and force power but I still say that the Shatterpoint ability will give Mace the edge on Dooku.
he was caught offguard when mace was talking to him once sidious was unarmed and was able to release his fury of force lightning which mace probably never knew he could do. Yoda didn't drop his lightsaber, it was knocked out of his hand by the lightning. And lastly you should read up on what we were debating instead of jumping to conclusions, we were never discussing who was the better out of dooku and yoda.
