Shatterpoint is a tactical advantage, but against three notable combatants he will be hard pressed to take advantage of the Shatterpoint, even if he is able to find it.
Of course, he notes in Shatterpoint that even if he'd managed to kill Dooku instead of threatening Jango, the bounty hunter would've killed him immediately. So if Mace somehow screw up, he will die.
Telekinesis is one of the most rudimentary force powers, and Grievous was trained by a Sith Lord. Dooku, in designing a training regimen for an intended Jedi Killer surely taught him how to counter, or at least cope with a Force Push.Which is why Mace Force-pushed him off of a train (mag-lev) in Labyrinth of Evil, right?
Mace even remarks that Telekinesis is one of the first techniques that padawans and younglings learn- even before they start lightsaber training. Surely Dooku would have included such an important skill.Actually, it's how to counter telekinesis, but yeah, that would be more than implied as well.
Grievous has already been proven capable in dealing with Vapaad.Not for very long. He began mimicking the motions of Vaapad, and Mace decided he'd had enough. He cut the floor out from under Grievous, dodged the counter-attack, and Force-pushed him off of the mag-lev. This, while having to fight and keep from being blasted off said transport while moving at high speeds, when all Grievous had to do was turn on the magnets in his feet.
The force will throw the battle in his favor in a one on one duel, but the two bounty hunters would throw the battle in Grievous's favor.Not nearly enough. Mace dealt with far worse in Shatterpoint, and the Battle of Dantooine had him single-handedly fight through a droid army and bring down a seismic tank, possibly with his bare hands, depending on what source you look at. He was fast enough to land six blows on Kar Vastor before the man could blink, and Jaina Solo - someone who had only just learned the shatterpoint technique - was capable of destroying supposedly indestructible armor with only a small burst of directed telekinetic energy at the weak points. Mace, who has mastered it beyond anything we've ever seen and used it in truly astonishing manners should be able to do the same to the Fetts' armor, then grind Grievous into the ground.
Again.
