Mace Windu vs Anakin Skywalker

who wins who dies?

Anakin due to approachable skill and much greater power.

Windu 10 / 10. It has been already confirmed that he was only second to Yoda, at the time Anakin and Obi-Wan were still Jedi Knights. You can argue Windu vs. Dooku, since Dooku was no Jedi Knight when this info pop out, but Windu is superior duelist to both Anakin and Obi-Wan.

Anakin's own words ;

'"Obi-Wan is a great mentor; as wise as Master Yoda, and as powerful as Master Windu.''

He is basically comparing Yoda to Windu.

And let the retardation begin...

"You have to be either Mace or Yoda to compete with the Emperor," Lucas says.

--George Lucas, The Making Of Revenge Of The Sith; page 204

RotS Anakin was not on Windu's level yet.

Found some new accolades for Mace guys.

Mace Windu is omnipotent

Mace Windu is the greatest lightsaber duelist of them all and owned sidious easily

It's really irrelevant considering how Mace suggests that Anakin might be even more powerful than Yoda is, twice.

If you want take Anakin's opinion seriously, he also firmly believes he's the most powerful Jedi on the Council.

Obi-Wan also compared Windu to Yoda.

"But surely, Master Windu," Obi-Wan had said, "you, with the power of Vaapad or Yoda's mastery of Ataru-" Mace Windu had almost smiled. "I created Vaapad to answer my weakness: it channels my own darkness into a weapon of the light. Master Yoda's Ataro is also an answer to weakness: the limitations of reach and mobility imposed by his stature and his age.

----Revenge of the Sith Novel

I never said Windu is the best lightsaber duelist of all time. I am just presenting the sources about Windu.

Lucas, Obi-Wan and Anakin, all of these guys compared him to Yoda. And Gillard already said that he is only second to Yoda.

He is basically comparing Yoda to Windu.

No he is not... He is comparing Kenobi too Windu. There is absolutely no comparison between Yoda and Windu in that line.

Anyway, Windu wins because of Vaapad's loop.

On topic, my answer is the same as it basically always has been. I think Mace would win, more or less 6-7/10. Generally speaking, Anakin is the more formidable warrior--however, his fiery passion that he used to overwhelm Dooku will be turned right back into his face against a master of Vaapad.

EDIT: @Marco - Nick Gillard's statement was as of AotC, and he explicitly states that as of RotS Anakin has jumped up to Mace's and Yoda's level. Secondly, several people in RotS allude to Anakin being perhaps the most powerful Jedi alive, including the omniscient narrator, so I'm not sure what you're trying to prove.

Yep. If Anakin could learn to not rely on fear and anger, he'd have a better edge. Or even if he stayed in balance more. But nope.

But then again, would Anakin truly be as powerful as he is without it?

Actually, Nick's rankings in RotS makes no sense to me. Because the reasons ;

1- He put Sidious, Yoda, Dooku and Anakin in a same tier. Which is stupid.
2- Then he said Anakin & Obi-Wan matched each other perfectly

Nope. His fury was what allowed him to defeat Dooku.

Still putting Anakin & Dooku in a same tier with Sidious was still stupid.

1- He put Sidious, Yoda, Dooku and Anakin in a same tier. Which is stupid.

Not Dooku. Mace, Yoda, and Anakin were said to be up with Sidious, that's all he said.

2- Then he said Anakin & Obi-Wan matched each other perfectly

He wasn't speaking of their levels of ability--He'd already established that the gap between them was enormous. He was talking about their respective fighting styles, and familiarity with each other's habits if you will.

1. He puts Sidious, Yoda, Windu and Anakin on the same level (in terms of Saber duelling). He doesn't mention Dooku.

2. He explains they are equal, when fighting each other, because they know each others moves inside out. But he still made it clear Anakin is a level above Kenobi.

In terms of saber skill? These are absolute masters we're talking about here. Even Kenobi is up there, honestly.

I don't see any speed or skill disparity between Anakin & Obi-Wan here, honestly. This is a really good example since they were fighting against the basically same level opponents ;
