Does it not take some time to charge the blasts, as per Kun's own admission?
No?

And it didn't take him time to charge the blast that he took Keto out with.
My analysis of the battle: In sabers, Dooku would take this, as he has better speed feats, and his lightsaber style is very efficient against other lightsaber wielders. Another reason is the fact that he has defeated other legendary lightsaber duelists. Kun does have the element of surprise with his unique weapon, so he isnt hilariously outclassed in this area. In the force, both are quite even, as Kun has his powerful amulet blasts, and Dooku has powerful TK. In the all out, it would most likely start out as a saber battle, with dooku taking the slight edge. Kun would then resort to his amulet blasts, while Dooku would attempt to ragdoll Kun with TK. Ultimately, Exar Kun would triumph 6/10, as Dooku would be completely unfamiliar with Kun's amulet blasts, though he could grab an advantage with his TK. I declare Exar Kun the winner.
Yeah. I just can't see Dooku taking Kun out with the Force seeing as how easily he brushed off Keto's attack as well as Odan-Urr's Wall of Light technique.

lol Neph, note that it says he can barely control/direct it
And then note how he gains control over it enough to consciously use it against Nadd and casually blast Aleema. He couldn't control it at first but obviously gained control over it.

Kun honestly has no skill feats to compete. Vodo-Siosk Baas and Uliq-Qel Droma are completely featless.
Ulic Qel-Droma arguably has the single greatest feat of pure lightsaber technique that we've ever seen (being able to match blades with one of the more prominent Jedi Knights of the era while completely cut off from The Force) and Exar Kun himself has quite the accomplishment under his belt in developing a form completely from scratch that was described as an improvement over the existing forms. Dooku by comparison basically is featless, in the sense that vague accolades and outclassing second rate Jedi with a lightsaber aren't really feats at all in the first place. He's completely outclassed in this matchup.

Ulic's been in a number of fights. He beat the Mandalorian at the time, defeated King Ommin (the darksider who lead the Naddist cult), defeated his brother Cay, was able to hold his own against the Jedi Sylvar, the one who gave Exar Kun his scars, even *after* being stripped of the force.
Baas, aside from his multiple duels with Kun, should be noted as having a buncha strong students, Exar and Sylvar. He also showed plenty of force power, battle meditation, wall of light, reinforcing objects with the force to block lightsabers, all that.
The era was overall more force-power focused than saber focused, to be sure.

lol
Anyway,
Sabers: Dooku
Force: Exar Kun
All-Out: Unsure
Not really. Outclassing General Grievous, skilled enough to regularly trouble some of the best Jedi in the order, and outclassing Bulq, one of the most skilled lightsaber instructors ever produced by the order, is far better than anything Kun has accomplished.
Crossing blades with some featless Knight isn't impressive. Developing a form doesn't showcase combat skill.

Sylvar wasn't featless and doing it against any Jedi while cut off from the Force would be extremely impressive. Developing a form (nevermind one that was stated to be an improvement over the existing forms) indicates great technical understanding of the weapon and general ingenuity with the weapon, and given that the form is stated to have died with him he also has the advantage of using a style that would be completely unfamiliar to Dooku.
