Mace's Shatterpoint revealed Palpatine's weakness--Anakin. His perspective narration says that, even submerged in Vaapad, the fight would have gone on forever if not for Shatterpoint. Palpatine's fear was provoked when Anakin entered the room, something Mace's Shatterpoint ability revealed, and what he used to his advantage to leverage a disarming maneuver. Shatterpoint isn't some magic KO attack he can throw at his opponents.That weakness is something Zone Anakin doesn't have. That's why we've labeled him as such. He's without fear, without hesitation:
"...all his fears and all his doubts shrivel in to flame."
"...the "terror and rage are out there, in the fight instead of in his head, and Anakin's mind is as clear as a crystal bell."And he did make Dooku look like a complete joke:
"Dooku's decades of combat experience are irrelevant. His mastery of swordplay is useless... Even his knowledge of the Force has become a joke."Zone Anakin never reemerged after that scene, and even the variation that fought Obi-Wan on Mustafar pales in comparison. There's a reason we keep saying that Zonakin stomps.
Who said Shatter Point was a magic KO?
Mace did Master this technique, he could call upon this technique at will
it was not difficult for him to use like it was for other Jedi...
if a shatter point was in this.... zone Anakin..... which it is ....then that's just what is....
maybe not fear but something else like...Anger? Attachment? ....
let's look at technique....if he covers all of Djem So's flaws then.....we might have something...
if he doesn't then....there's your answer...
Ever think why Mace is against him going on some Missions?
because he can see where he breaks.....
sometimes Anakin proves him wrong....sometimes..... the other times...he's right..
The only magic KO here is Zone...
