Hmm, so on your butt means there's nothing you can do right?
Except he DID do something from that position. He fired Force Lightning which held Windu's Saber back.
Just for the record examplpes of people on their butt and under someone Saber yet NOT defeated:
@2:37 (actually in a worse position), and @ 2:54

And here @1:18-

And before you shout "BUT THEY HAD THEIR SABERS", you just claimed there's No Room for maneuvering out of that poisiton. These are also combatants with only equal or inferior TK to their opponents, unlike Palpatine who clearly has superior Force Powers.
Not to mention the evidence suggests he had a 2nd Saber on him. But even for arguments sake let's say his 2nd Saber wasn't on him when he knew he had multiple Jedi coming to arrest/kill him... Then that would of course be another of multiple contextual factors that lead to Mace coming out on top in that particular fight.

Addressed.

3) "Ineffective" meaning "unsuccessful" or didn't "produce desired result". NOT that it had no effect. Sheesh, one would think you'd know that was my meaning. But I'll gladly explain it if I wasn't clear.
Which is YOUR Opinion since we Never Saw the conclusion of their FL Exchange, as Palpatine STOPPED it, Faking being weak.

4) Except for the fact that Luke was on his butt, incapacitated and smoking? Or the fact that Yoda was knocked face down, smoking and stunned? You know injury isn't the only effect that is visually apparent, right? I wasn't even sure I should dignify this insanity with a response...Oh but I guess "AUDIBLE EFFECTZZZ!" is enough for you. 😂
Point was "NO SCARS" does not mean your "fine."
And again, Yoda and Sidious Finished their FL exchange. Mace and Palpatine DID NOT.
I find it amusing you are honestly arguing that "Screaming in Pain" means the combatant is quite comfortable and can carry on all day 😂

5) Except that I made this point to prove that Sid's lightning attack had a more detrimental effect on him than his opponent.Kinda like a situation where you both struggle for a knife and the knife gets pointed at you and you stab yourself in the leg repeatedly, granted you can take that, granted that you CAN get REAL lucky and MAYBE reverse the knife on your opponent even tho there has been no signs of it even moving his direction (and is still slowly inching it's way towards you even more) other than him struggling against you. I mean you can certainly make an argument for that. But don't blame ppl for laughing at you/shaking their heads at you when you do.
Yeah except usually when somebody gets stabbed they're not in a position to SMILE as soon as the something they like happens.
You tell me, you stab a guy and he gets the knife out smiling, and you yourself are screaming in pain from a slash you got, you'd be comfortable you're going to get out of that situation on top? LOL

6) Firstly, let's not deflect here. I didn't make the assertions, your side did (you didn't make it, you "defended" it). I merely presented the scene as it happened and pointed out all evidence in the scene goes against their assertion and then made my interpretation in line with my arguments.Secondly, you seem to be misunderstanding how logic and proof works. You see, I don't have to point to anything BUT the scene as it proves my argument in its entirety. Inserting any other interpretation into the scene like "Sids threw the fight" requires YOUR side to provide indisputable proof (w/c you didn't). Simple logic there, son.
First of, No. All you had to do was go back to see how Our Debate began.
It began on Page 6, where I asserted that Mace is NOT a Peer of Sidious and is in fact below him, no matter what happened in that particular fight.
And everything I've been arguing since has been in defense of that idea.
Next I've since that very page asserted my belief that Mace did Win the Saber portion of the fight, but the FL Exchange is up in the air. With the novel included I'm of the opinion Sidious "would have won". With the novel Not Included, I'll just leave it as up in the air.
However Fact Is we did not see the end of that exchange due to the Anakin factor, and Sidious preferring to use the situation to sway Anakin onto his side.
So let's get this straight, there's no "Evidence" of the End result of the FL Exchange either way, because it Never Happened. All that's clear is both sides were struggling, with one side shouting in pain more, but with no visible damage and the other side getting scarred up.

7) Onus on you to prove that he still could. All logical signs (Windu took no damage, was advancing and, as far as I can see, wasn't even breathing hard at the end of the barrage <---- all supported by timestamps) point to the exchange being far worse for Sids than Windu. Simple logic here, can't believe you can't seem to get it.
LOL So you dismiss Shouting in Pain, but take "Breathing" into account. Brilliant. Let me know how Palpatine's breathing after you timestamp that.

8) I actually have been in several fights yes, I boxed for two years and took various self defense for 6. And you're right it's not about who takes the most damage in the fight. It's about the end result. Who gets knocked on his ass or who gets put in an unwinnable position.Fortunately, not only did Sids take more damage, he also got put in an unwinnable position.
Already showed it wasn't necessarily an unwinnable position. Of course I won't lie and say it was a normal or good position either. But the "possibility" of a win, or a stalemate, was definitely there.

9) Except he did back down first. SMH. You inserting excuses like "pretending to be weak" notwithstanding.
Kind of an important factor.

10) What is your obsession with going the "AUDIBLE effect" route? 😂 screaming has no bearing here. All it proves is that Mace was struggling. Didn't even stop him from slowly advancing. How much damage Sids take is irrelevant and you using examples of OTHER sith "feats" (not Sids) of taking damage is irrelevant (not to mention inadmissible as "feats" aren't interchangeable) as well. As there was NO provable progress to winning that was gained on his part by his barrage. Essentially, all you have are theories and maybe and coulda beens. I have clips with timestamps. My proof > yours.
Just the fact that Sidious Wasn't Screaming suggests he wasn't finding the exchange as difficult as you let on. Scarring alone is meaningless to the fight, It's about How much Pain he can handle.
Mace screaming suggests Pain on Mace's side as well. Because Not All Pain is Visible.
Oh excuse me for bringing up Facts about the kind of Punishment Weaker Sith can take, let alone the Ultimate Sith Master. Of course Palpatine can take more punishment than his much weaker and less experienced Sith Apprentices.
Feats are Exchangeable to that extent. For example, we see the Super Sprint Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon do at the beginning of TPM. To say Yoda can't sprint that fast because we've not seen it would be Pretty Retarded.
Yes we should Ignore the Plot, the Story, the Accolades given, and just go by "TIME STAMPS" LMAO
FYI, Windu was Only Advancing as Palpatine began faking his weakness.
