No Sidious won cause he did have the higher ground. He didn't have to put as much force into throwing the pods down and it took more for Yoda to throw them back upwards
Gravity > High Ground > You
Originally posted by Obi-Wan Kenobi'That's true, but in most cases, the person on the low ground does not have the height or arm length to swing as high as to make the "high-grounder," duck or crouch.
What the ****? When swordfighting, it's hardly better to have the high ground. You have to crouch much more to block, and your feet are very vulnerable. When your low ground you can easily stab at his feet, or trip him easily.
Plus the fact, that the "high-grounder," can do a little something called, "Blocking and Fighting Back." Much easier than the 'low-grounder."

picture it.
when you have the high ground, you have far more access to strike at vital areas, you have a better perspective looking down at the enemy. not only that but your opponent has to climb in order to charge you...so i guess i stand corrected in part with regards to gravity having no role...but still you cant compare that strategy to palps/yoda

Those goddamn echoes...Except in that case Luke had the high Ground:
Luke: "It's over daddy, I have the high ground."
Vader: (thinks) "This seems familiar..........Oh Well. Here goes!"
PHIZSLICE!
Vader: "Ah f*ck! My nose!"
Luke: "My God, my father is Michael Jackson."
Emperor: "Good! Now fullfill your destiny, and take Darth Neverland's place at MY side!"
LMAO. "Daddy".

Nick Gillard has stated that Anakin was a level Nine duelist (Most likely proved when he killed Dooku) and that Kenobi was a Level eight. This most likely indicates Anakin was a better duelist.
If Anakin was the better duelist and having the lower ground is better, come up with an explanation on why Kenobi won instead of Anakin.
