That is an A>B>C argument and they more often than not mean nothing. I honestly dont see how Yoda 'clearly' won that battle when he did nothing in the force battle and neither was overpowering the other in the lightsaber duel. Yes I am a fanboy (how can you not be a fanboy of the great Count Dooku?) but you are making the assumption that Yoda is better without taking into account what actually happened

Because frankly the duel was quite short and Dooku was not going down in such a short time, but honestly Dooku would eventually let slip and Yoda will win. What actually happened? What so now you want to say Sidious is on par with Dooku? If that was so, why did Dooku not think to rebel? Yoda easily blocked Sidious's attacks, yet Dooku has shown no ability to do the same.
You haven't explained why Dooku was fleeing if he was going to win as you assume. Btw being a fanboy means you usually only see one side of the argument.
dooku is awesome, ive argued for him against the majority numerous times on here, but this is a loosing fight for him. yoda is one of the two guys in the galaxy id conceed have better saber skills. even in a fairly small environment the weekness of yodas style wouldnt come into play because hes so small and can operate in a much more enclosed environment than other jedi. it would be an intense fight, but yoda would emerge the clear winner.
This is one of those times where the A>B>C argument actually works. Yes Yoda is equal to Sidous at the very least, and Sidious>Dooku, at least in force abilities, however we don't need the A>B>C argument to determine that Yoda was better than Dooku. Yoda was never beat in his entire life(unless you count the senate chamber duel a lost).
Sids was far better than Dooku in force abilities and they were on par with the Count maybe having the edge in lightsabre skills but that is irrelevant. To make the assumption that Yoda won because Dooku left is completely wrong. There is an array of reasons why Dooku left and Yoda winning is just one of many. I honestly dont see how Yoda won the force battle when he did nothing. And they both blocked each others attacks so I dont see how you can conclude Yoda winning the duel as well. Apart from some cryptic dialogue that Yoda uses your argument is based on nothing. AND STOP POSTING THAT PIC MYSTERIOUS MAN!!
someone leaving doesnt mean their defeated. they just realise sticking around involves more personal risk than their willing to commit to. i dobut he did, but dooku might have thought he had a 90% chance of winning, and wasnt comfortable with the 10% chance yoda had and left. personally i think dooku realised he couldnt do it. hed taken on obi wan and anakin, force dueled with yoda and knew that even on a good day with no fatiue its very likley yoda would prove the better fighter.
the a b c argument doesnt work. the differing styles and attitudes count for a bit. just becuase rock beats scizors and scizors beat paper doesnt mean rock beats paper. anyway, fleeing doesnt mean someone knows they will lose. and dooku would have lost to yoda.
Despite all the spelling errors Decay, you have added to what I said before. Dookus leaving DOES NOT mean that Yoda won, although it is one of many possibilities. The match that we saw was stalemated and if it had kept going we can only make assumptions on who would win. In my opinion, had it kept going Dooku would win because his style will help him to conserve energy while Yodas will use it up. Then Yoda will exhaust himself and the almighty Count can go in for the kill!

Yes, I'm sure after a 90% chance of victory, Dooku would leave. It's so probable, and so likely. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it's definitely a far stretch, and by far -- I mean like "in a galaxy far, far away..." far.

You know, I thank Buddha that you don't write Star Wars, and that your assumption do not count for jack, and are unsupported when most evidence points the opposite.
