Proud Statement ~ However this ends up, the bloodshed would be most exhilerating to watch.
All things considered, I'm inclined to think the Count would come up on top - his style is suited for tiring opponents out.
After Form I's proliferation as a saber combat technique, Form II, or Way of the Ysalamiri, came about as a means of lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat. It is described as being very elegant, powerful, and requiring extreme precision, allowing the user to attack and defend with minimal effort, while his opponent tires himself out.
Darth Tyranus (also known as Count Dooku), from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, has mastered Form II to the highest degree, fighting with the precision built into the ancient technique. When he wields this form, it devastates the Jedi; the system of Jedi training at the time of confrontation between Darth Tyranus and other Jedi does not prepare the Jedi for the precise movements of a form bred for lightsaber dueling.
Yoda would tire himself out - his form of fighting would do that. With a one on one fight between Dooku and Yoda they would be more even, but with three of them Yoda would get weary pretty quickly.
As for Mace...
With his eclectic fighting style, it is said that only two individuals ever outsparred Master Windu: Yoda and Dooku.
It really depends, I suppose, on who tires out first. If Mace goes out first, then Dooku would win, for Yoda would be exhausted. If Dooku goes out first (not likely, considering his style) then Mace would win. On a one-on-one, Yoda is much more likely to win. If Yoda goes out first, then the two would be fairly even, but like I said, it depends.
But do remember - the winner of a fight is not necessarily the better fighter...
What a nice way for me to start out in the forum, debating.
I don't think Yoda is tiring out that quickly, from what I saw in AOTC, Dooku seemed to be very tired just after he had fought Anakin and Obi-Wan, but when Yoda came in he quickly regained his stamina. Are you saying that because Yoda was breathing hard when he fought Dooku that he will tire out?
I run to school every day, takes about 5 min. When I get there I breath very hard, but I'm not tired at all. The fact that Yoda does alot more jumping and fighting versus Sidious, and does not seem tired at all there, is enough fact for me to say that he will last as long as the others. We don't know how long an average life for one of Yoda's species is, but we know that Dooku is above an average for humans.
So his style gives him the edge by tiring out his opponents, but I don't think Yoda would stop for a time and try to rest, he would fight as long as he could, or if he got tired he could use the force against him, make some distance.
Yeah, ok, but still. We don't know enough about Yoda's species, what is the average age for a "unknown" to reach before he dies. Still, we know that Dooku is an old man, though he is in good shape, he is still and old man. From what I have seen, Yoda is in better shape in a fight than Dooku.
He might be equal or have better stamina (thanks to Makashi) but I doubt Yoda will drain his in this fight.
Yeah, stamina in the world of SW is a bit tricky because we assume that Yoda uses the force to be able to do all the stuff but it is still tiring as if the force only helps him partially or something.
But it's still stated and safest to assume that Yoda can't keep up fighting like that forever.
I think ataru is just not very effective when it comes to highly skilled duelists.
Agreed, though I still don't think he will get too tired in this fight 😆
Dooku escaped their last fight, I think he knew he was outmatched in both saber and force. I think Yoda would take him even though he would be tired. Remember that he fought through "ahellofalot" (LMAO)clonetroopers before reaching Palpatine and still managed to fight him for several minutes without showing many signs of tiring out.
But since we are unsure about their stamina I'm just going to say Yoda by defult because he is a better fighter than Dooku.
This match is impossible to tell really, it could go anyway. Therfore I'm going with Yoda because he's the best here.
If we have to tell whos going to fight who, I would think that Mace and Yoda would team up on Dooku. Mace and Yoda lost many jedi friends in the geonosis arena and had to fight a war against Dooku, they both had unfinished business with him. Then Yoda would kill Mace.
Just my opinion though.

Indeed. Nice post. I agree.
Dooku cannot beat Sidious because Sidious is the best Sith ever. In RotS, Mace beat Sidious. However the fact that Sidious could have been faking it is arguable. Anyway, I think Mace would beat Dooku 1 on 1. I also think Mace could beat Yoda 1 on 1. Yoda is stronger with the force, but I believe Mace to be the better swordsman. With all three of them the fight could go any way, but I would put my bet on Mace.
