Count Dooku did injure Yoda with a slash to the arm on Vjun. But this was after he hurled a woman out of a window and attacked Yoda as he attempted to halt her terminal velocity with the Force. After an engagement where Yoda professed his reluctance to hurt Dooku and Dooku, in turn, professed that he would enjoy killing Yoda, Dooku is knocked back and admits that he has been overpowered... and reveals that he put a missile in high orbit for just such a scenario. He then jumps out the window.

I'm just saying that he wasn't a pushover per say as a Jedi and seeing as he's gained like what, over a hundred years more experience since then, I don't see Dooku pwning him. Winning, sure, but I think Dooku would be breathing heavy, to say the least.
he wasn't a 'pushover,' sure, but there's a fine line between 'pushover' and having the ability to fight Dooku.
And he's been in stasis for a lot of the time. he's seen comparatively little fighting, even in the war
In all honesty, I have no idea. Wyyrlok genuinely cares for Krayt as a friend and the Wyyrloks have always safeguarded Krayt's secret and Krayt himself when they could easily destroy him via revolt or while he was in stasis.
It's entirely possible that Wyyrlok is serving a weaker master. As I said, he manages to fight an Ancient Sith in Darth Andeddu and utterly destroys him in the Force.

I disagree Lightsnake. Although all the retcons make this look ridiculous, it is most likely that Andeddu predates even Marka Ragnos, and even though his spirit was in the holocron, logically his skills atrophied over a period of thousands of years, at least. That's like saying Ragnos is a weakling because he (tavion) got defeated by Jaden. It just doesn't make sense.

And i believe darth sexy thinks andeddu predates ragnos because of his armor, it looks like ancient sith armor and it also looks like andeddu came from egypt.

He still managed to, through his holocron, nearly turn Darth Krayt into a krayt dragon.
Andeddu needs a novel, now.

Logically, it seems Andeddu predates Ragnos. However, how the hell did he find his way to Korriban when the republic couldn't until the Great Hyperspace War? And how the hell did he find his way back to the deep core, whose hyperspace lanes are out of wack and weren't exactly researched until the age of Palpatine? There's a lot of nonsense surrounding his history. It's unlikely he would be of Bane's sith order, since there were no sith to chase him down and attempt to extract knowledge from him. IMO, his backstory was poorly conceived.

According to the Clone Wars Visual Dictionary, Count Dooku "attempt[s] to gain the upper hand" in his duel with Anakin Skywalker on Tattooine by revealing that Ahsoka is in danger of General Grievous's Magnaguards. After that, he gets a boot to the face and is knocked on his ass.While he does demonstrate superiority over Anakin in their brief Force engagement, he couldn't get the upper hand in swordsmanship during that duel.

Bane is uber and compelling enough, we don't need a third book about him.

The issue with the theory that Andeddu was 'atrophied' was the power he demonstrates as a Holocron, and that he revitalizes with one's life force...he's demonstrating no problem doing what he can do, he's in his own place of power and then he's the one forcing the duel, fully expecting to kill Wyyrlok.
This doesn't seem the actions of someone whose power has decreased
