Edge in power?
Dooku's TK feats are honestly just comparable to anything Windu's done IIRC
Hell, crushing Grievous' chest (could he have used Shatterpoints? Sure, would sort of like to see where its implied though :hmm) and injuring him with that speeder is more energetic than anything Dooku's done with his own TK feats (how the **** is he using shatterpoints to damage him with a speeder exactly? :hmm)
Sure, I've read ShootingNova's comparison, but his understanding of what makes a feat impressive is laughable as hell, calling outlier on perhaps some of the most underwhelming showings Windu has (Those super battle droids are hilariously light, Windu TKing that massive metal doorway and damaging that Tank with it is exponentially more impressive for example... no, gravity doesn't accelerate shit to the speed that gate was falling in the 0.4 seconds it took to hit the tank :lmao)
No, not even arguing about the outcome of the thread dude, just some good ol'devil's advocate about shit I find hilarious :maybe
Dooku's obelisk feat is better than anything Windu has done, I would say. And his showings of ragdolling Kenobi, Vos and Ventress could denote superior power, if not mastery of power, at least.
On the topic of Windu being more energetic - I fail to see the relevance. Dooku's a more reserved telekinetic, sure - but he's also more skilled. His use of TK is almost completely oriented towards complimenting his dueling skill. He uses it to get the edge over opponents whether that be separating duos, hurling missiles at them or just flat out overpowering them, and uses the same methods with his lightning. We don't see the same destructive displays from him you'll get with Malgus or Vader, but his use of TK is more relevant to a fight like this than say, Windu's ability to crush metal or send droids and tanks flying.

Not going to blame you for saying this
Not many people are all that spectacular at gauging size
Per volume of material though? I wouldn't be shocked to learn the Gate Windu TKed had more mass with 99% of its volume hollow than what Dooku bothered to lift.
And his showings of ragdolling Kenobi, Vos and Ventress could denote superior power, if not mastery of power, at least.
Kenobi's best feat IIRC is the wave one (which I've never been given a size for, but it sounds impressive enough :hmm) and his stalemate with an emotionally crippled Anakin
Which, to be fair, I'd consider that Anakin still above Padawan Anakin.
Windu's not exactly weaker than Obi-Wan though.
Know nothing about Vos and I don't know enough about Ventress to guess if she can scale to Padawan Anakin either.
On the topic of Windu being more energetic - I fail to see the relevance.
Character A and B are roughly as equal in all stats barring the destructive power they can chuck out with their generic magic powers
Character A can lob a spell with the power of a nuke will no ill effect
Character B is only powerful enough to replicate an MOAB
Who wins?
Not the situation here, but I like discussing semantics. Skill isn't some trump card. Stats are generally more relevant.
Dooku's a more reserved telekinetic, sure - but he's also more skilled.
Let's say, for sake of argument, I still forgot Dooku overpowering a much later into the Clone Wars Anakin in my second post?
What's skill matter in the face of overwhelming raw power?
I'm a master swordsman. I'm told to fight a rhino head on, no gimmicks.
I will be trampled to death every time, my skill doesn't matter in the face of its raw stats.
Not the situation here, but this is me discussing semantics of what you said for fun :maybe

Windu crushing metal that can survive city engulfing explosions and star fighter laser cannon fire is relevant to a fight... and pretty easy to accomplish
Sith and Jedi alike are nerfed by bad writing, and I suppose I keep forgetting I come from a board where we eliminate that entirely to accommodate characters that, in character, would never fight to begin with.
Don't sell Dooku short though, like I said, he's shown to be a match for Anakin's TK late into the Clone Wars
Granted, I think its pretty easy to connect the dots to many characters with Anakin's TK feat, but I'm just shooting the shit here :maybe
