Good. Now then on the site(several actually)Anakin' profiles state that he has many emotional problems. The fact that his mother died in his arms drove him a little of the edge, The fact that one of his best friends(Qui-Gonn) died, the wisdom of the council clashing with his personall ambitions, his friendship with Palpatine(who constantly shows the "goodness" in giving in to the emotions, and finally Padme's friendship with Kenobi makes him twice as angry as he already was. All those emotions bear down on him and take away from his concentration and make him lose focus. Without focusing he will surely get his other arm lopped off.

I believe this is referring to Anakin in general. By RotS, Anakin had matured. By RotS, it didn't really affect his combat (save on Mustafar, but that was due to his wife leaving him)

AotC Anakin was terribly emotionally unstable, and that really limited him as a far. But by RotS, Anakin had matured.
The fact that one of his best friends(Qui-Gonn) died, the wisdom of the council clashing with his personall ambitions, his friendship with Palpatine(who constantly shows the "goodness" in giving in to the emotions,
These three things didn't take a visible effect on his combat abilities.
and finally Padme's friendship with Kenobi makes him twice as angry as he already was. All those emotions bear down on him and take away from his concentration and make him lose focus.
He wasn't really mad over the fact that she was friends with Obi-Wan; but by the end of RotS Vader thought that Padme has betrayed him and joined the "Jedi traitors" against the Empire. He lost his cool here because Padme arrived and said "You're breaking my heart, you're evil, i don't wanna be with you, Obi-Wan was right..." and guess who comes out of her ship? Obi-Wan Kenobi. This caused him to act all stupid, not Kenobi's simple friendship with Padme.
Since this kind of emotional stress is absent in this fight, I'm inclined to think the Skywalkers win.

Use force lightning on one Force chokes the other. 😎

Luke is powerful enough to give Dooku a run for his money on his own. Yes Im serious... you Luke haters. Add Anakin to the mix, and you have an indisputable Skywalker victory on your hands.
How is Luke able to give Dooku a run for his money again? Oh, with the no formal training he's received? Or his amazing no Force mastery? Or hell, maybe even the not even close to saber mastery? Yes, he'll give Dooku "a run for his money". As in Luke actually runs away with Dooku's money.
Really though, Luke isn't even on par with someone like AOTC Kenobi, who Dooku beat the piss out of. Maybe AOTC Anakin *and that's still giving him too much credit* whom Dooku toyed with and pwned quite easily.
Seriously, give some proof as to why Luke stands a chance with his "amazing" credentials.
I forgot! Maybe he'll stop Dooku by making a fool out of himself and getting his lightsaber knocked out of his hands by a lowly mercenary or possibly unleash his strike out tantrum. I mean really, I'd submit Vader fell to the ground because of laughing so hard at the moron in front of him.
But yeah - "run for his money"? Ha. No.
Though the Skywalkers still win anyways.
Oh, with the no formal training he's received?
It's presumed he spent several months doing intense training with Yoda along with hours with Ben.
Or his amazing no Force mastery?
I've never seen him exert him with the force. He has no trouble deflecting blaster shots or lifting C3P0. He managed to fight through dozens of Black Son guards (These guys were "worthy adversaries" to Maul) and fight off a bunch of crooks on Jabba's Barge, including Boba Fett!
Or hell maybe even the not even close to saber mastery?
Luke doesn't suck with a saber. People need to learn to pay attention.
He only starts sucking after "DAAAAARRRRRRRTTTHHHHH!".
He's not as good as Dooku, though.

I believe one on one training with Yoda himself (an honor afforded to no one else before him) could be considered formal training.

Assumptions. Do you have any proof that Luke had weak force or saber mastery?

Insulting. 😠

Along with what Razielim already said, Luke was more powerful than Vader, who was 80% of Palpatine.
I doubt Dooku is that much higher than 80% when compared to Palpatine, hence I suggested it would be a good match.
Your really bias against Luke, though I shouldnt be suprised being most of the forum is anyway. 🙄
