Grievous' confidence is electronic.

But even as a cyborg, parts of his brain have been replaced with electronics.

Right. But still, he can't be considered a Sith.

Guys. For the last time. It was 'Star Wars Tales'. The same series where Han crashes into Earth, Chewie becomes 'Sasquatch' and Indiana Jones stumbles upon the wreck of the Falcon and Han's skeletal remains. You can't take it into any consideration in these threads. So Grievous never did beat Durge and Ventress simultaneously. Have a read on a realization of mine a couple of months back. A theory on the General's 'suckiness', and why it is not so."Well, according to Count Dooku in LOE, who is Grievous' saber mentor, the General is incredibly skilled. However, while scolding him for seeming imperfections in his fighting style, the Count states that Grievous' greatest weapon and ally in combat is the element of surprise, along with fear and confusion. Without it, he would be destroyed. Then, the Sith Lord proceeds to name a few Jedi who would destroy the General if he didn't use these to his advantage; Obi-Wan was one of these Jedi, along with Cin Drallig, Mace Windu, and Yoda. Anakin was not. This may merely be the result of Dooku's determination not to acknowledge Anakin's growing power, but whatever. Proceeding. . . .
So, on Hypori, when a Jedi was killed in a split second by a mechanical fiend dropping onto his skull, Masters Ki-Adi-Mundi and Shaak Ti were stunned and confused, along with the other Jedi. They had never seen or heard of such a creature, and as a result, were sufficiently astounded, enough to give the droid General a victory against five Jedi. The same thing happened in LOE (I know, I use it a lot) when the General moves to capture the Chancellor. He uses a dramatic entrance combined with half a dozen of his towering elites to strike fear into the hearts of everyone present, thus ensuring a victory born of deception.
Anyway, as you saw in ROTS, Grievous has not a single one of these advantages on his side. In fact, Obi-Wan has the advantage of surprise on his side, and although it does little to faze Grievous, it nullifies the General's advantages. It was only Grievous' arrogance and confidence that kept him in the duel. When he realized he had not a chance, and probably remembered Dooku's warning, he fled.
Hope that answers it sufficiently enough. Just a theory, but in my mind, a fitting one."
Now as good as that theory is it can't stand up to what is written on the actual site. Is LOE canon?
