Oh yeah? And how much effort do you imagine Palpatine put in either's case?
Clearly a fair bit considering the Quote Arhael provided about the level of destruction he was unleashing, and the fact that he did actually kill Opress in case you did or did not notice.

Apparently he used his "full fury" against the Council. There. We have a statement of mindset. Do you have one for when he fought Savage and Maul?
So please explain to me how "Full Fury" is more of a mindset statement than becoming immensely destructive by being "Fueled by the Dark side."
But hey, if that's not enough for you enough of an indication of his "intentions" for you, then The same source says this:
"he views the Zabrak not as an apprentice, but as a rival to be destroyed.."
Does that give enough of his intentions for you? That's actually the most clear quote on his intentions from either fight.

Because if you don't, going by the fight alone, Palpatine was basically slowly pulling the legs off of a beetle when he could have ended it far sooner.
Quite possibly with his initial Tk attack. But either prove he could have cut them up in the 2 on 1 Lightsaber fight quicker than he did. Or go learn how to present evidence, instead of just bringing speculation to the table.

Let me teach you what this thread is about since you clearly have no clue.
A few posters here seem to think Sidious could have Saber Blitzed Maul + Opress as quickly as he did the B-Team (a theory that has Zero proof to back it up mind you). Marco gave a quote where the Supervising Director of the Sidious vs Maul+Opress fight has Flat Out said himself that Opress simply put up a better fight than the B-Team. Crediting him putting up that better fight to HIS OWN PERFORMANCE, and Not to SIDIOUS HOLDING BACK MORE ON HIM.
Then there was Tempest who gave a quote saying Sidious Unleashed his full Fury to prove he wasn't holding back. Kind of a useless quote of 2 reasons:
1- It's a source which likely isn't Official canon anymore, and this whole thread is discussing Official canon material, as well as quotes from people involved in official canon.
2- If anything he should have given a quote which flat out said Sidious was holding back against the Brothers. Because this whole "Sidious was Toying, and "The fight lasted as long as Sidious WANTED it to," these are all lines used on these boards, but not once used in any official canon material or sources.
Then Arhael came in giving a similar kind of verse (except from a source which is still very official) which stating the level of destructive power Sidious was unleashing. Then saying how it doesn't SOUND LIKE Toying or Holding back. Again the words "Toying" and "Holding back" haven't been used to describe that fight anywhere in any official canon source or by anyone involved in any official canon.
Then you jump in out of nowhere deciding to be an A-Hole and wasting my time explaining to you just how much of a clueless A-Hole you're being.
