LOL! No, I escaped from that months ago... 😆

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
my justification for this argument is
...idiotic.
that he has a custom made lightsaber with a curve that is made to fit makashi but could prove disadvantageous were he to try other forms with a specialty built saber.
There's nothing to suggest that a curved hilt lightsaber would carry any drawbacks if one utilized a different form. Asajj Ventress carries two lightsabers with a similar construct to Dooku's, yet she's quite able to handle herself without being a practitioner of Makashi. Likewise, so does Darth Bane who uses Djem So.
There's more than enough evidence that supports Count Dooku would be quite capable of handling himself against blaster fire. The most prominent piece is the scan where he's actually doing such. And as Gideon pointed out, it's likely Dooku knows more than just Makashi (at the very least, he knows Shii-Cho - which would provide protection against their fire).
also these are super battle droids which fire at a fast enough rate to blow through someone who isnt using a form built for lightsaber deflection
Obi-Wan managed to block a barrage of Durge's bullets, which leads me to believe Count Dooku - who is Kenobi's superior in the Force by far - would be able to block the attacks rather effortlessly using the Force.
One should also point out that given Dooku was the figurehead of the CIS, he should know how SBDs operate. He knows exactly what they're capable of and considering his battle prowess, that's a huge advantage. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother arguing against stupid things like this.

Because you know as much as I do that there is no point to your existence outside of making me awesome signatures, wearing stylish clothing, and providing entertainment for Gideon when Faunus's mom is away?
The only way for Dooku to get past Anakin is to casually obliterate him with the force, which will require minimal difficulty. However, Dooku, being an arrogant dueling specialist, will likely attack Anakin with a saber, and he's screwed. If, however, Dooku does force-pwn Anakin, he likely dies at Revan. After fighting numerous battles, Dooku will not be able to contend with Revan's ability with the force, and so Dooku is pwned.
Count Dooku gets a day of rest in between battles. For an octogenarian who is capable of using the Force to rejuvenate himself in the heat of battle against two of the finest swordsmen in the Jedi Order, I doubt he will still be suffering from problems if we give him such a long period of time. And if the Count uses the Force to disable and destroy Anakin, I would predict that he dies at Darth Revan, after a difficult fight. After all, nothing indicates that Revan is a superior swordsman, nor do his Force powers just overwhelm Dooku either.
Originally posted by Blax_Hydraliskmy only problem there is, while obi may have done okay against maul after going all emo, he definitely did not 'floor' him [aside from a couple well placed saber strikes/physical blows]. in fact, the only thing which prevented maul from killing obi in the end, was his own arrogance. had he actually tried to make obi fall of that ledge, instead of toying with him like a buffoon - maul certainly would have taken that battle without question.
When Obi-Wan goes darkside, he floors "The deadliest Sith Apprentice in history" in about 10 seconds.
