Darth Sidious runs the Gauntlet

I did say stalemate. 😉 Does it really matter if he knew he couldn't win? He was trading blow for blow, dead even. Of course Mech Vader has more stamina and strength and would eventually win...

Meh. I'm no good at playing Devil's Advocate. I, too, believe Anakin is superior to Obi-Wan, regardless of version.

Well if he knew he would lose, and then "gave up," then its not much of a stalemate. You could say that Dooku and Anakin were stalemated up until Anakin decided to pwn him. 😬

But I want you to know that I read your last part, I was just commenting on your first part.

I thought it was common knowledge that Dooku = In the Zone Anakin...

(Not)

Lol, I think you missed my point. Ben Kenobi, obviously, was also hampered when compared to his younger, ROTS self. Yet he was still able to stalemate Vader until he sacrificed himself.

That was my initial point. No high ground explanation. No tactical advantage. Just skill.

Well, I don't see what relevance this holds to the discussion we're having. We're not arguing the old bat Ben Kenobi compared to mecha Vader, only ROTS Anakin and ROTS Obi-Wan. Their elder counterparts are a different story since they both declined greatly; it'd be silly to imply the duel in ANH means anything when comparing their PT incarnations.
