Shien/Djem So. The heavy, powerful strikes work well against Makashi.
Actually Dooku had no problem against Anakin's Shien.. It was his Djem So that caused him problems..
But even that one on one Dooku could have handled.. What really defeated Dooku was Anakin's raw power.. It was too much power for him.

Dooku's Makashi wasn't countered by too much kinetic energy, it was countered by Anakin's unparalleled and inhuman Force powers. Anakin in that state of mind, channeling the amount of Force power he was, would have defeated anyone regardless of their style. He was faster, stronger, and more powerful than any form could handle.
Makashi by nature is designed to counter opponents who are stronger than you, it isn't by nature designed to counter a nuclear bomb going off in your face.
Anakin was not only stronger than Dooku, he was so fast Dooku couldn't even physically see him. Dooku had to expend his force reserves just to sense and predict where he would be, no form would have saved Dooku from that sort of speed and power.
This is all seriously overblown.
The real Dooku, Legends Dooku, had no problems with anyone bar Anakin who is probably the strongest duelist in history before accounting for the temporary darkside amp.
The Count has effectively ragdolled almost everyone he's come across anyway so none of this matters.
