Form 2 is a true offensive and effective way of dueling, it is certainly far superior against a few forms. It's less tiring than Ataru for example and still a very effective form.
At least Dooku mastered it fully eventually but he should've been better like Sidious and his mastery of different forms.
Maybe he just didn't have as much midi-chloreans as Mace/Anakin/Yoda. 😛

In the ROTS battle Kenobi and Anakin were basically equal. They each met each other blow for blow. However Anakin had the darkside with him, was full of hate, and had raw strength and power that Kenobi did not. Kenobi was the smarter duellist, but not the better one.
Kenobi never was an incredible duelist in my opinion. He is incredibly good at defending. He still WTFpwned Maul in my own opinion but never became like Mace or Yoda. I don't think he could've surprised Anakin and bested him, he is just an incredible defender. (except against Makashi of course)
