Well, may as well do this in order:-Was hyped up (by other people/sith and what not) to be the "second coming of Exar Kun."
-Was able to defeat beast of Marka Ragnos (giant force resistant terentattek) while a mere acolyte
-Defeated an academy overseer while an acolyte
- Defeated the greatest teacher in the jedi order, as well as the best duelist said master ever trained, at the same time.
-Defeated Nomen Karr, who was capable of defeating one of the most dangerous sith assassins who ever lived.
-Right after this defeated Jaesa Willsaams, the prodigious apprentice of Master Karr.
-Defeated a giant, super advanced Wardroid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frqSQPxuQnY 7:30
-Beat Darth Vengean, Darth Baras's master, and a dark council member. While the Wrath did have the aid of Lord Draahg, he was rendered useless halfway through the fight, and Draahg credits you for the kill.
-Defeated Darth Ekkage, noted as one of the greatest sith assassins who ever lived, and is a dark council member. While some fodder master helps the Wrath, Ekkage one shots a sith lord with a burst of lightning.
- Defeated the Emperor's Voice, an entity that Harbors the strength of the Emperor himself. Speaks for itself.
- Lord Draahg: The Sith who helped you kill Vengean earlier has been cybernetically enhanced, his skills and power have been increased significantly. Notable is that without the amp, Draahg is said to have, "a depth of power few others can claim."
-Defeated Darth Baras, master swordsman, (Stalemated Satele), master force user (subdued Darth Angral with lightning), capable of controlling an entity, force choked a dude from across the galaxy, pinpointed exactly where his lightsaber was from across the galaxy, etc. Despite his already mighty power, he's being amped by two entities, Sel Makor and some other entity (who's presumed to be Darth Traya). At this point Baras is considered "nigh indestructible."
So yeah, there ya go.
Emperor's Wrath # 2 represents finest warrior of the Empire which is really really big.
It shall be kept in mind that the reconstituted ancient Sith Empire set harshest standards known for development of Sith. To spectacularly perform in such a setting of cutthroat competition is a testament to one's extraordinary abilities.
As good as Count Dooku is, he haven't been tested in ways like Emperor's Wrath # 2 have been or Sith Lords of the reconstituted Sith Empire have been in general. Yes, Dooku did perform well against Yoda but the latter always had soft corner for his former student and did not do his best to overcome his former student. Dooku also benefitted from the setting and managed to preoccupy Yoda with the effort to save Anakin and Obi-Wan; in this manner, Dooku found the chance to escape.
Emperor's Wrath # 2 have extremely solid combat victories under his belt, superior combat record then good Count. He should win.
I defeated Ekkage with my Warrior yesterday. The Wrath notes that Ekkage is the greatest warrior he's ever faced, meaning including Vengean, Nomen Karr and Wyellett. Her codex entry notes that Ekkage is not just one of the greatest Sith Assassins ever but also:
"Many believe Darth Ekkage was as powerful a weapon as the Sith have ever had, and that their victory over the Republic would have been completed long ago if Ekkage had not been captured. But there are also many within the Sith who fear her--realizing that they could just as easily be her next target."
