Anakin would charge into battle because he's arrogant and die. That's in character. Your argument is powerset only. You really want to take the character out of the battle. I am still not convinced force choking would do anything to Ares since he's so powerful without a blade in his chest. Ares wins.
Wow, either not reading or just can't grasp.
Try to some objectively for once, CIS is turned off in these matches unless otherwise stated, so if you're insisting Vader be his arrogant self and charge, then apply the same rules to Ares (ie be objective for once), as he was just as arrogant and angry in his "look at me, I'm the god of war" attitude.
So they both go in head first as per their arrogant/anger personalities; Vader wins easily, as noted, he's faster, more agile and has battle precog.
