You weren't talking about combat in general, you were talking about duelling. You're a fencer right? So you should have seen that Dooku didn't [keyword]outduel[/keyword] Kenobi, but rather used the Force on him because he couldn't get through his [keyword]duelling[/keyword] defenses.
And what the hell, get over it?? I didn't say he wasn't in the top tier, I said he was below those four you mentioned.
~:Mr.Anderson:~Ah, Mr. Shatterpoint. Good times.welll... i haven't ever seen you wrong since your "mr. shatterpoint" days, so i guess I already do that...what are you doing tonight?
You're on the list, btw. Don't disappoint me. 😐
Unfortunately, tonight I'm out recruiting for Al-Qaeda Kim Jong Il the Obamanauts America.

Seriously, the hell is the FauNuts?
Spoiler:
See, DS accuses many people who agree with me of "riding [my] nuts." He asked if you were "riding nuts" when you "coughed" in the Maul thread. Now, anyone who agrees with me is riding my nuts. The FauNuts [courtesy: FauNutRider 6], get it? So those riding nuts are nut riders, and since they're riding FauNuts they're the FauNutRiders.

I'm not that bad of a guy...Or am I?

Pardon me, you are right. I have no substantiation for that statement.
Lightsaber training"He is a fencer. Leverage, position, advantage—they are as natural to him as breathing."
―Qui-Gon Jinn's spirit, to Yoda, on Dooku[src]Dooku in the Form II opening stance.
Before his resignation, Dooku was known as one of the most skilled duelists and lightsaber instructors in the Jedi Order.[1] Along with Yoda, Dooku was one of only two Jedi who were known to have bested Mace Windu at sparring,[3] and during the time of the Confederacy Crisis, it was said that aside from Yoda, only Windu would have been his equal on neutral ground.[10] Though styles like Form III, IV, and V were more practical in the age of blasters, Dooku's competitive spirit drove him toward the second form of lightsaber combat, Makashi, though he maintained a working knowledge of other forms as well.[20] He was one of a very few practitioners of this dueling-centric lightsaber form in the Order at the time,[1] and unmatched in his mastery of it.[23]
When he became a Sith Lord, Dooku had little left to learn about dueling, though he ended up learning the Sith art of Dun Möch, or disrupting an opponent's concentration by the use of taunts.[86] He was nearly successful in using Dun Möch to disrupt Anakin Skywalker's concentration in his final duel on the Invisible Hand. However, his attempt backfired on him fatally, as his taunts only [/quote]
Is what wikipedia says about the matter. "Working knowledge"
My assumption of mastery comes from the claim that he can outduel mace, when mace has mastered all 7.
and from this: i assumed the ability to teach meant mastery:
Grievous hunted Jedi for sport, keeping the four lightsabers of his most powerful victims within his cloak as trophies of his superiority. Taught all seven main forms of lightsaber combat by Dooku, he developed a personalized unorthodox fighting form, involving prolonged lightning-fast flurries and power moves designed to overwhelm his enemies. However, his lack of finesse frustrated Dooku.[4] His mechanical enhancements gave him an edge in close-quarter combat, enabling him to hold his own against several Jedi all at once.[11]
