A Battlemaster who is by all accounts featless. 😬Even if we did acknowledge that "okay he lost to the chosen one good feat regardless." We still don't know how the entire fight went. The accolades are good but he's lacking feats that would otherwise make him a top tier guy.
He was in the temple for the entirety of the war, he didn't really have the chance to show off. And when he did it was against the version of Anakin who was compared to Sidious, Mace, and Yoda as a swordsman.
When have I ever argued he's top tier? The most that I've argued is that he's likely better than Grievous because you know its blatantly stated in LOE.

A fair point.
But you misunderstand Stark, I was saying that if he had feats he would be top tier, I wasn't saying that you stated or implied that.
Dooku likely hasn't seen Drallig fight in over 10+ years, he's out of his prime. And I highly doubt Anakin could stomp Grievous with one hand while choking another Jedi to death.
I haven't read all of LoE, but SunRazer says he was just venting his anger at Grievous. *shrug*
And like I said before, Luminara has wayyy better physical attributes and for what it's worth, is actually fairly powerful in the Force.
Dooku wasn't really angry...at least from what I'm reading, he wasn't just liking how Grevious was doing in training against his droids.
Grievous and his guards were dancing. Going through their programmed motions. An Ataro attack answered by Shii-Cho; Soresu answered by Lus-ma... Dooku couldn't suffer another moment of it."No, no, stop, stop," he yelled, coming to his feet and striding to the middle of the training circle, his arms extended to both sides. When he was certain that he had their attention, he swung to Grievous.
"Power moves served you well on Hypori against Jedi such as Daakman Barrek and Tarr Seir. But I pity you should you have to face off against any of the Council Masters."
He called into hand his courtly, curve-handled lightsaber and drew a rapid X in the air - - a Makashi flourish.
"Do I need to demonstrate what responses you can expect from Cin Drallig or Obi-Wan Kenobi? From Mace Windu or, stars help you, Yoda?"
He flicked his blade quickly, ridding two of the guards of their staffs, then placing the glowing tip a millimeter from Grievous's death-helmeted visage.
"Finesse. Artfulness. Economy. Otherwise, my friend, I fear that you will end up beyond the repair of even the Geonosians. Do you take my meaning?"

Wow, people really interpret that as Dooku saying Drallig > Grievous? 😐
Well considering that Mace dueled Grevious fairly well, Obi-Wan defeated Grevious(abit not through sheer saber skill, but he did knock off 2 hands). Seems to me those who Dooku states considering them a threat to Grevious, now obvious we need no proof for Yoda.
But this at the least would be Cin at least to present challenge to Grevious.
Originally posted by ZenwolfMaybe. But Dooku has dueled Mace and Kenobi fairly recently when he said that. Again, he probably doesn't know what Cin is like now. I'm sure Cin was good in his prime, but now I doubt he's as good as he once was.

And surely Luminara would be some challenge to Grievous. She is a Soresu master after all, and she is an extremely agile/flexible fighter.
