RotS Sidious -vs- Count Dooku

Maybe, I just think he'd be silly to try, because he'd more than likely lose. And that his best bet would just be to fend him off, looking for either a tactical advantage or a way to escape, or both.

Sidious (and Windu) are just much stronger than Dooku whose way past his physical prime Imo.

Although I do seem to remember when Talzin possessed Dooku, Sidious says to her something like "You clearly don't have Dooku's Saber skills", just before he beats her.

I think Kenobi and Skywalker make a poor duo when tackling one opponent. They seem to do much better on their own.

By UNANIMOUS verdict, Dooku is more screwed then he ever realized.

POWER! UNLIMITED POWERRRRRR!

That was Lightning. This is Sabers only.

I think anyone saying Sidious kicks his butt 10/10 is seriously underestimating Dooku's Saber Prowess.

Even with sabers only, Sidious is FAST. Dooku, for all his elegance, is going to get speed blitzed.

I agree that Sidious would solidly defeat him, but Sidious is not capable of blitzing every character not named Luke/Yoda/Plagueis/Caedus.

You say Anakin is powerhouse yet same Anakin failed to defeat Obi-Wan, if you believe Anakin's physical strength is abnormal, then he should've defeat Obi-Wan just as he did to Dooku. However Obi-Wan had no difficulty with Anakin's kinetic power.

Soresu's better at defending, that doesn't somehow make Dooku weak at it. Makashi is in fact an excellent defending form.

You're also ignoring the fact that Dooku almost had Skywalker beat when he kick slammed him.

Obviously Dooku wouldn't try. He fears Sidious like he does Yoda. But for the sake of VS thread we can at least imagine him fighting till the end. 🙂

Actually yeah I agree. Dooku would lose 10/10 in an All-Out but if it's Sabers only I'm sure Dooku could take something like 3 wins out of 10.

Oops Double Post.

Dooku can't win 3/10 against Sidious imo.

You know this is Sabers Only right?

Even with sabers, Sidious is still too fast for him to even perceive due to his enormous force reserves.

Dooku gets stomped.

Sidious 10/10 tbh. Dooku can hold his own, but he really doesn't have much chance of defeating Sidious.

I don't, but apparently, according to the guide that the article is derived from, M. Lucas said that if Anakin had suffered none of his injuries, he could have beaten Sidious.

This same uninjured-Anakin defeated Dooku, so it makes me ponder.

No fool, the implication was that if he didn't get injured he could have become 200% of Sidious, but instead was reduced to 80%.

Dat 2 year late reply tho

Darth Sidious is profoundly above Count Dooku. The former's performance in a confrontation with Darth Maul and Opress Savage clearly represents great disparity between him and Count Dooku in power and martial abilities, the latter struggled against a lesser trained Opress Savage and Asajj Ventress in a confrontation and managed to escape via circumstances.

Kind of iffy A>B >C there tbh. Given:

1. When you have a Power level scenario of Sidious > Dooku > Maul > Opress, then even though Maul+Opress would likely take Dooku for a solid majority, the Power disparity between Sidious and Maul, and especially Sidious and Opress just becomes too much for them to put up any kind of decent fight. But that doesn't mean Dooku can't put up a decent fight when he is more Powerful than Maul, and Vastly more Powerful than Opress.

2. Count Dooku was stalemating/besting a greater duo than Maul/Opress in Season 6 of TCW against Anakin+Obi-Wan. And that fight was mostly just Sabers.
