Count Dooku runs a gauntlet

Count Dooku runs a gauntlet. There's two scenarios.

Scenario 1: 1 hour rest after each match.
Scenario 2: Full rest after each match.

Arena: Where Obi-Wan killed Grievous

1. Qui-Gon Jinn + TPM Obi-Wan
2. Kit Fisto + Shaak Ti
3. Darth Maul
4. ANH Obi-Wan
5. ROTS Grievous + 2 Magnaguards
6. ROTS Obi-Wan
7. ESB Vader
8. Mace Windu

How long?

Never makes it past Maul either time. Might even fall to Qui Gon and Obi if they're fighting as a team.

Don't you think his knowledge of the force would be enough to defeat Maul?

Yea, he could beat Maul pretty well with force powers, unless he's pretty tired. Still, a full hours rest isn't bad.

I'd say he does clear one solidly, 2's pretty hard, beats 3 with force.. honestly it's pretty hard to rate 4 but I'd say passes, beats 5, has beaten 6, definitely stops at 7.

Of the first 6, 2 is probably the hardest.

Well, if he makes it past number 5... He definitely dies at 6... You know, 'cause that's what we see in the movie...?

🤨

Let's not forget that Qui-Gon is not Windu's equal as it was normally rumored. I say Obi-Wan can take him with lightsaber's only but Dooku's refined Force skills might give him win. After that he loses.

I say Dooku with full rest clears the first 6 and after that, well, I honestly think he could win both, but also lose both.

What I sad was sarcasm. Of course he gets past 6.

I say he actually dies at 8.

The pairing in 1 pretty much lost to Maul, and Dooku > Maul.

Master Obi-Wan and Anakin > Qui-Gon and Padawan/Knight Obi-Wan

Obi and Anakin didn't fight as a team because of the young one's idiocy/anger. As a team they would have crushed. Anakin took him solo a short time later when he was focused, so had both pushed the Dookie as a pair it would have been ova.

I see Dooku getting to 6, before it ends in a stalemate. Obi-Wan was the best master of Soresu at the time, as noted by both Dooku and Windu. It'd just go on and on, if it was pure sabers. Force-wise, Dooku could catch Obi offguard and fling him around again.

Nope. Dooku>Kenobi. Established for a long time.

Too busy to explain right now.

Kenobi managed Anakin at the height of his Force and saber ability, the same Anakin who had previously taken the Dookie. Obi-Wan survives the day.

Though Kenobi only won due to using the terrain to his advantage.

Still... Kenobi probably has the best lightsaber feat of all time.

Totally high and casually strolling around deflecting blaster bolts.
^ - Just had to mention that. I laughed when I read it the first time.

But honestly. As the foremost master of Soresu at the time, and his intuition, I can see him stalemating Dooku, not winning outright. Dooku will either find a way through the guard, or they'll both get really really tired. Since both styles place an emphasis on not expending energy.

Stops at 7 for scenario one, dies at Grievious for scenario two.

You guys DO know that Makashi is a form renowned for being able to penetrate a Soresu defense, correct? Thats why Kenobi has no chance against Dooku.

Yeah don't know why this is being questioned. It doesn't need to be explained, Obi get omgwtfpwned twice from an old Dooku. It's not a contest between the two.

First of all this is later form. When Makashi was created, they didn't even consider Soresu as it did not exist. So, if one of this forms "would" have advantage over other, it would be Soresu.

Moreover, RotS novel proved this myth wrong. Will right more about it later from work.

In the ROTS novel, Dooku was tooling Obi-Wan and Anakin before Anakin got angry and Dooku tired so I don't think he has a problem with Kenobi.
