Anakin Skywalker (AOTC) VS Cin Drallig

Anakin Skywalker "I am a slow learner" VS Cin Drallig "There is one lesson you've yet to learn, how to become one with the force!"

Drallig

If Anakin gives into his anger Drallig is dead.

Other circumstances, IDK.

So? There isn't much evidence indicating Drallig is that skilled, and while AOTC Anakin sucked he still held his own against Dooku albeit momentarily. Drallig is featless and in ROTS was killed by him in a single stride

If you're referring to the game that's N-cannon, ROTS novelization shows him getting butchered without even an engagement.

Anakin is more powerful and more physically capable. He'd take Cin down.

Anakin.

Although he's got very few feats, pretty much every pertinent source acknowledges Cin as one of the Order's most elite swordmen. Make no mistake, Anakin was certainly gifted during AotC, but I'm not confident that he yet wielded upper echelon swordsmanship.

Siding with Cin.

Anakin pressed Dooku in a lightsaber duel, has encased himself in a haze of green light with his saber, and has vastly impressive TK showings in the Clone Wars miniseries.

"I'm a slow learner," Anakin replied coolly, and he came on then, so suddenly, so powerfully, his green blade whirling with such speed that he seemed almost encased in green light.

For the first time, Count Dooku lost his little confident smile. He had to work furiously to keep Anakin's blade at bay, dodging more than parrying. He tried to step out to the side, but stopped as if he had hit a wall, and his eyes widened a bit when he realized that this young Padawan, in the midst of that assault, had used the Force to block his exit."

The movie didn't show any such thing. AotC Anakin gets tooled.

Exactly. 👆

Anakin preformed admirably against Dooku(especially for a Padawan), but that excerpt is non-canon, as it is contradicted by the film.

He performed just as well in the portion of the duel where he dual-wielded, which isn't contradicted by the movie.

Actually, he did okay, not well. Dooku still had control.

He fared far, far better than Cin did against RotS Skywalker regardless.

"Anakin!" he called, and he tossed the young Padawan the blade. Anakin caught it without ever breaking the flow of his fighting, turning it under and igniting it immediately, putting it into the swirling flow.

Obi-Wan wat ched in admiration as Anakin worked the two blades in perfect harmony, spinning them over and about with blinding speed and precision.

And he watched with similar feelings the working of Count Dooku's red lightsaber, flashing ahead and back with equal precision, picking off attack after attack and even countering once or twice to interrupt the flow of Anakin's barrage.

Obi-Wan's heart leapt in hope as Anakin charged forward suddenly, bringing his green blade over his shoulder and across, down at the Count. Obi-Wan understood immediately, even before he noted Anakin's blue blade coming up and over the other way-the green blade would push the Count's lightsaber out of the way, clearing the path for the victorious strike!

But Dooku retracted impossibly fast, and Anakin's down-cutting green blade hit nothing but air.

This surprisingly sums up my exact thoughts.
