If he doesn't stop at kun he clears.

Hmm, I honestly think Jaine could stand a chance. Malgus even more-so and holding, in my mind, an advantage against the Count. While his chances against Kun are all but non-existent.

I doubt it.

and has a stylistic advantage as a duelist,

Hardly makes up for being an incredibly less prolific one. Besides; it's not like Dooku hasn't handled pre-RotS incarnations of Anakin just fine.

He stops at the b0ss.

I wouldn't say it's concrete, but he's largely matched his abilities as of Deceived, and only grew stronger since then.

Malgus has had 30, 40 odd years of battlefield experience to hone lightsaber skills described as "flawless" by the HoT, in which he performed feats supposedly never since replicated, and was considered one of the greatest warriors in the Sith Empire.

"Incredibly less prolific" seems a bit of an exaggeration.

Though where that gap actually existed, he was still knocked on his ass (by Savage).

Besides; it's not like Dooku hasn't handled pre-RotS incarnations of Anakin just fine.
I wouldn't say that. Pre-ROTS Anakin solidly defeated him on Naboo, at least in the lightsaber duel:

And prior to that Dooku got disarmed by Anakin despite having Magnaguards for back up:

He held his own but I wouldn't say he handled him just fine at all, he handled him with considerable difficulty.

With a full rest, he stops at Malgus, Exar or clears. Both of them are his equals, and it would be a split in both fights.

No one thinks Skotia can put the Count down?

Darth Malgus and Exar Kun are more powerful then Count Dooku.

McP Senior Member

In my opinion, they are more or less equals. Dooku, Vader, Mace, Revan, Malgus, Krayt, Exar. And a few more, perhaps even Maul.

Palpatine, Vitiate and Plagueis are their obvious superiors, and outclassed them all.

Darth Malgus is superior to Count Dooku in official standing in Legends:

Malgus submitted utterly to the dark side, and doing so made him an exemplary warrior. His battlefield feats have never been duplicated. (Darth Sidious)

"There in the hangars I encountered the most dangerous embodiment of the dark side I have ever experienced-the man who would later be known as Darth Malgus." (Satele Shan)

In his quest for domination, Darth Sidious tracked down what remained of five pivotal Sith texts written by his most powerful predecessors. (Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side)*

*In no specific order: Darth Plagueis, Darth Bane, Darth Malgus, Mother Talzin and Sorzus Syn

I'll let others debate for Exar Kun.

Is he also superior to Sidious and Plagueis then?

Means nothing, since Satale never conforonted any guy from Saga era

Are you trying to put Bane above Vader, Dooku or Maul?

Being superior to Count Dooku translates to being superior to these two? you are not making sense.

And yes, Darth Sidious perceived Darth Malgus as the greatest warrior among all Sith. Sidious also advised Darth Vader to consider Malgus as role model and learn from his accomplishments.

Have you read Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side?

Yes, I have. Bane was more important for the Sith achievements. But it doesn't place him above those three. As a warrior, Bane is obviously inferior to them.

Malgus > Vitiate TBH.

carthage PLEASE PROTECT ME STONES

To be fair Sidious in the new canon considered Vader's power unparalleled:

Come, Darth Vader, you of all people should accept that some are born for greatness. That some are larger than life.”

Vader remained silent.

“Yes, Lord Vader—Tarkin.” Sidious softened his tone. “You are a true Sith, Lord Vader. Your dedication is unerring and your powers unparalleled. Perhaps, however, you are under the misimpression that only Sith and Jedi have trials to pass-Tarkin

I'm not aware of Sidious's statement's regarding Dooku's power but seeing as Sidious has similar knowledge regarding Malgus, its possible Dooku may have something comparable to Vader at least *shrug

And Darth Sidious did not perceive him as the greatest warrior among Sith. Still, Darth Bane is really powerful and officially counted among the most powerful Sith. You may not like the character but don't let your personal bias cloud your judgement.

Canon is different from Legends.

Darth Malgus does not exists in canon.

Vitiate is not a Sith. He pretended to be for a long time but he isn't.
