ROTJ Sidious vs Dooku and Suited Vader

If his TFU self does, then why not?

I've never played it. Does he use it in the cutscenes or only being controlled? Is he still skilled?

Rahm Kota uses the Force to snatch it out of his sleeve, but other than that Palpatine is only seen using his Lightning. The novel may be different, though, and I think it's version of events is the accepted one.

He does not use his lightsaber in the novelization or in the comic. But since it's only a couple of years before ANH, we can assume that he does keep it on him.

for once, i actually agree with him, as Vader(in his suit)is more powerful than before. Dooku lost to him without his suit.

No. Count Dooku lost to Anakin Skywalker, a young man at arguably his physical peak. Darth Vader has robotic arms, robotic legs and a life support system keeping him alive. Ergo, your A>B>C argument is rather invalid.

But I'm not debating this issue. Again. As Darth Martin rightfully pointed out, I have already conclusively proved Dooku's superiority in another - rather long - thread. 😉

Yep.

dooku & vader win. sidious is strong but he can't stop both of them at the same time. sidious can't target both of them at the same time with his lightning. which means he would be open for an attack from either dooku or vader.

Why can't he?

Is Sidious one-armed in this match?

Sidious doesn't have arms, numbnuts. *Jinx Forcefield on any comment relating to my mother*

That's... a fantastic idea. It would give more meaning to the FauNuts!

This must be incorporated.

Jinx Forcefield still stands

hurr, faunus's muther is teh ugliez!

You might say she is the ugly stick! 😱

I think any amount of lightning is going to screw up his robotic suit, just like it did in ROTJ. Sid would exploit this pretty fast if he had two opponents. Even if DV can partially deflect or resist the lightning, it won't be enough. Sid wins.
Now if DV were fully physically intact and had just as many years of Sith training and Dooku was at his peak also, I do not think Sid would stand a chance.

Edit for the next couple of posts: I do not read the EU stuff so if Vader's suit can handle lightning better than the movie then the fight would be fairly close.

Of course not. He'd be twice as powerful as Palpatine by then.
