--Mace Windu vs Darth Sidious--
I dunno. In a saber duel, Mace would defeat Sidious. But I don't know. I noticed he fought harder and more powerful against Yoda, using the Force at a much more dangerous degree. If they fought like he did against Mace in ROTS - Mace would kill him. If Sidious fought like he did against Yoda - using the environment, speed, and the Force - I'd say he'd win.
So...uh...erm...Mace, I guess.
--Count Dooku vs Master Yoda--
Count Dooku is the superior duelist - but Yoda is just superior. He is harder to hit and his Ataru makes him extremely quick. Eventually, I think Yoda will beat him. But Dooku's not gonna go out like a punk, either.
Victor: Yoda, after a long fight.
So...in THIS case...Yoda and Mace win in their respective duels, I think. I don't know if Dooku could have bested Yoda, as we have no other fights to compare him too - except for Obi-Wan and Anakin - who don't match up to Yoda. And he fought them the same way. Mace's fight with Sidious is much different than his duel with Yoda.
In this particular matchup, I'm gonna have to say the Jedi win.

I dunno. Dooku is superior to Mace in experience and a superior form. Mace has superior raw power and physical advantages. Mace is no push over, but Dooku HAS beat him in the past. I dunno if he could do it again, but most likely.
Dooku's strange mix is superior to Mace's Shatterpoint + Vaapad? Perhaps; we know Dooku beat Mace 13+ years before TPM, but we have no idea how much either has progressed since then. If the implied references from the Clone Wars and Shatterpoint are to be believed, Mace improved significantly.
Whether or not Mace ROTS would lose to Dooku ROTS is undecided. We know Mace is a superior duelist as compared to Sidious; so if Mace fights Dooku, he wouldn't lose by much, if at all. I believe Mace ROTS can defeat Dooku, at the time of Dooku beating him, he would be in his mid thirtees at the latest; he had some time to develop his skills further, and it is heavily implied he did.
But it's irrelevant, Mace is not fighting Dooku. Mace would be fighting either Palpatine (whom I believe he would beat again) or Yoda (whom I believe would be a great fight). Yoda is hard to hit by almost anyone, but if anyone can hit him, I'd be putting my money on Mace, who is a Shatterpoint practitioner and would have that advantage on the small and quick Yoda. Dooku and Palpatine would at least take a long time.
Now, it's inconclusive if they pair up like that. However, we KNOW Dooku can hold his own against Yoda. We also KNOW Mace can beat Palpatine. So if they were to fight that way, Mace would beat Palpatine while Dooku holds off Yoda, and they power duel Yoda. Jedi should win.
But who on earth has decided Yoda switches to the Dark Side? It would be a lot more logical if Mace did, though both of them aren't very pluasible.
No. According to the official website, Mace can and did defeat Sidious fair and square. I used to think otherwise, but the site seems highly accurate. I do - however - express my doubts when you compare how Sidious battled Yoda and then compare it to how Sidious battled Mace.
You'd notice Sidious considers Yoda the superior threat - and fights against him with tenacity and aggression than what he did with Mace.
Whoa, hell. Lol I didn't notice it said Yoda went to the Dark Side. I do find that highly unlikely, but oh well.
Sidious vs Mace - err...Mace.
Sidious vs Dooku - no comment. If Dooku can successfully turn the fight to sabers only, he'd beat Sidious. Otherwise, I doubt it.
Yoda vs Mace - Yoda.
Yoda vs Dooku - Yoda.
Yoda wins. Lol.
in Dark Rondevouz Dooku says that if Yoda ever turned dark he would leave the galaxy in ruins could take over from Palpy in a heart beat, destroy everyone yada yada. He also says that the galaxy cannot comprehend the power that Yoda would wield on the dark side. So that right there tells you that Yoda on the dark side would be invincible. Dooku was terrified of Yoda turning to the dark side and realized that he would have no chance if Yoda turned.
So I think Yoda would beat either Mace of Dooku, whoever he is against.
For Sidious, there has to be a reason why Dooku never challenged him, I will say they are equal, Dooku superior in lightsaber skills, Sidious superior in the force. If he faced Mace I think he would fight more like he did against Yoda, using the force and everything else. So I think that him and Mace would be really close, probably with Sidious winning, but to appease you I will say that they are equal.
So this is what we end up with:
Option One
Yoda > Mace
Sidious > or _ Dooku
Yoda and Sidious win
or
Option Two
Yoda > Dooku
Sidious _ Mace
Yoda and Sidious still win.
So Yoda and Sidious win this no matter what.
