Nowhere is there any proof that they are equal.
I don't buy your retarded quotes. Sidious sent Yoda running like a *****, and was blocking all of Yoda's attacks on the senate pod. Apart from the stupid ROTS novelization, Yoda can barely handle Dooku yet alone Palpatine
Even in the dream sequence Yoda never got the upper hand.

You mean the scene where Palpatine blocks all of Yoda's attacks while standing still on a senate pod? And then sends Yoda running like a ***** when he uses his TK?
Yoda lost that fight, I don't get why its so hard for people to accept that. Only in incredibly stupid quotes that don't take into account his loss, do people consider them equals.
Yoda ran from the fight, he fought evenly with Dooku in AOTC, he isn't on par with Palpatine.

Sorry but no. Let's take a look at the G-canon screenplay.
YODA unleashes a ferocious assault on PALPATINE, causing him to almost go over the edge. The Dark Lord drops his lightsaber but recovers with a BLAST OF ENERGY from his hands that surrounds YODA. YODA is deflecting the Sith Lord's lightning bolts.
The energy bolts begin to arc back on the Emperor. It looks as if the Dark Lord is doomed.
Yoda was pushing Palpatine's shit in in the Saber duel. If he hadn't been caught at an awkward position at the end of the duel he
A. Would never have struggled to deflect the Emperor's lightning
B. Would have sliced and diced as he no longer had a saber.
Also don't kid yourself, Yoda retreated because there was a battalion of troops on their way to help Palps. Also the Satele downplaying in this thread makes me sick. She isn't going to get blitzed.

"Sidious battles with passion and fury, only to be matched every blow by Yoda's calm, measured skill."
-Beware of the Sith
"Yoda is an immensely powerful Jedi who can control blue crackling Force lightning."
-Mysterious of the Jedi
I accept your concession.

No, he retreated because he didn't like his odds against Palpatine. Nowhere are troops listed as a reason for Yoda's departure.
So you don't think the entire Senate Guard shooting at him was a reason for his departure? Regardless they are equals. I concede that it wasn't the reason, but it certainly was likely a reason.
