S66 doesn't have a point, but yeah I haven't really been getting my point across either, NGL. Been more focused with dealing with S66's arguments than my own.
Now that S66's arguments are basically the Twin Towers post 9/11 at this point, I'll mount my offensive and see if he can gather enough from the rubble for a rebuttal.

And this was the TK portion, I'm guessing. Unless for some reason you think Lightning needs an or between it when being used in conjunction with TK. And in that case, I'd recommend a dictionary. I'd also say that dominating the one confirmed powerful Force user is not the same as dominating 4.Wtf does that even mean? And Revan was using powers that kill "powerful Force users." He was clearly killing everyone there besides the shielded protagonist. 😬
No, you see Anakin and Obi-Wan both coudhed after bracing themselves and then immediately TKing in Dooku's direction. Nice try, though.
It's called having the wind knocked out of you. You're not this stupid, despite Ant's claims to the contrary.
Firstly, you don't lay paralyzed and silent on a floor from having wind knocked out of you. Trust me I've had it happen to me, and seen it happen.
Secondly, they attacked after getting up. Didn't say they went flying, as they threw up a defense, whereas the TOR strike team didn't.
Thirdly, I put the attack to show that one little force push rendered non force users unconscious, whereas Revan's all powerful feat didn't, if we are taking that in game part as full truth.
fourthly, I was comparing their level of dominance over other force users, which wasn't strict TK. Thanks for continuing to tell me what I meant after me telling you differently.

Sounds like you're the one speculating. It's a major contradiction that he would use a power that was killing them if he wasn't wanting to kill them, unless he was unaware that he was killing them, but I take it he's a smart force user. Regardless, Dooku has incapacitated force users quite quickly and effortlessly.
You claimed Revan would two shot Dooku via an ability that didn't incapacitate or kill anyone.I get that, but what you're not getting is the simple fact that the attack was meant to either defeat or kill, which he failed to do despite a large amount of time being put in the attack.
No, you're wanting to take the feat as is despite context being foggy on the account that it takes place during game play. The argument that he can kill some of the Counts caliber, whereas he couldn't to far weaker opponents do "the good guy/main guy argument" is stupid, unless there's something in the plot that clarifies his failure despite the amount of time he had to accomplish his goals. Sorry, but that's a stupid argument. You need to establish the potency of the attack, and based on what you want to take as full truth, just doesn't cut it.
That being said, you do raise a good point. Even though Revan would have killed them, he still didn't, so what makes Dooku a difference? Even besides the fact there isn't any Spirit of Revan roaming around, I'm not proposing he's going to use a Force Destruction based attack on Dooku. That seems to be far more useful against multiple opponents (i.e. "crowd control"😉. Nevertheless, in the moments leading up to his Force Destruction, we saw Revan capable of doing the following:
[list]
[*]Revan ripped through the Force barriers of Darth Marr, the Emperor's Wrath / Darth Nox / Barsen'thor / the Hero of Tython, Lana Beniko, and Satele Shan. Satele Shan had up a Force Protection Bubble (which has been stated to be very powerful) and was bolstering the teams abilities via Battle Meditation.
[*]Revan pulled the collective team listed above, and other legendary non-Force sensitives such as Theron Shan and Shae Vizla, towards him.
[*]Revan then instantly jerked them back away from him once they got near him, hurling everyone sans the protagonist into large pillars.
[*]Revan incapacitated and suspended all members of the strike team (besides the protagonist and his companion) in a Force Whirlwind based attack that was of pure light or dark side energies. This made it completely impossible for them to both use and call upon the Force.
[*]Revan slowly pounded the team to oblivion via Force Destruction, and would have been successful if Revan's Spirit and the spared protagonist had not blocked Revan's Force energy by countering it with the opposite alignment of pure energy created by Revan's Spirit.
[/list]
The fact Revan's Spirit was able to negate Revan's energy proves that Revan was hardly performing at his best as well. It has been stated that the physical Revan was the embodiment of both passion and power, while Revan's Spirit was an entity of pure wisdom. Spirit Revan himself admitted that he is not powerful enough to confront Revan alone, hence why he cannot interfere in that physical sense. However, he did say he would aid the team in other ways (i.e. the example listed above, teleporting the team, and moving a large archway). If this Spirit of Revan is only a fraction of physical Revan's power, yet he was still capable of negating Revan's power, it goes to show Revan didn't unleash all his power in such an all-powerful display. The reason why? He still had to do an enormously intricate and most likely taxing ritual to summon Vitiate's spirit, which was always his main goal.
The fact Revan can telekinetically dominate the team as expressed above (the bullet points), brings me to believe he could be able to do exactly the same to Dooku. Instead, when he slams Dooku against a pillar / wall / whatever is available in the environment, he's going to waste no time to end the fight (compare trying to kill off one person versus eight - a lot different). In a hypothetical, as Dooku goes to engage Revan, Revan is going to unleash a telekinetic attack that will send Dooku flying backwards, destroying his Force barrier in the process (Revan did this to a team more powerful than Dooku over four times, so suggesting he can't do it here is silly). Once down, Revan's going to play around, and can probably Force Pull Dooku back into him in a similar style like he did to the strike team - and end it quickly with a blade strike. This is obviously one of many scenarios, but every scenario will start with Revan telekinetically ripping through Dooku's barrier, and then seizing the advantage through that. In most situations, a "two-shot battle" is more than likely given Revan's reputation as one of the most intelligent characters in Star Wars on the battlefield. If Revan can, for whatever reason, not gain the advantage over Dooku through this at the start, he has ample time to try again throughout the fight (i.e. Revan was telekinetically dominating the strike team midfight).

Dooku as similar feats against other opponents, with the circumstances being quite clear, and has done so consistently. Why is Revan being held in such high regard? Because the team was bigger? I acknowledged that,Uh, yeah he did. Fried them and sent them flying a at a far greater distance. And he did so while drugged up.
2.) I have already addressed why this is an inferior showing to what Revan has. The large bulk of your argument is that Revan couldn't kill any of his team. Well, Dooku couldn't kill any non-Force sensitives with a telekinetic push either. But wait, Revan did. Revan instantly killed eight heavily-armored Republic commandos with a casual Force push.
3.) This one is your current argument. Firstly, it's worth noting that Dooku lifting them up and throwing them out a window is not a superior display of domination than what Revan did. Secondly, you say Dooku threw them farther. I disagree. During the battle, as you see Asajj Ventress and her companions falling from the broken window, it's evidently clear that they are still basically right next to the giant mountain that Dooku's citadel stands on top of. The distance he threw them appears to not be much greater than that of the room itself. Revan threw them across the battlefield, which was rather large. It's also worth noting that the distance he threw them was not the maximum distance, given they were stopped via walls / pillars. It's not an accurate and fair comparison to make. Finally, Asajj Ventress and three Nightsisters do not compare to Darth Marr, Satele Shan, and Lana Beniko. I don't think why this is so needs any explanation. If you disagree though, read the following:
Darth Marr Respect Thread: http://www.comicvine.com/profile/darthant66/blog/darth-marr-respect-thread/103084/
Satele Shan Respect Thread: http://www.comicvine.com/profile/darthant66/blog/satele-shan-respect-thread/103104/
Yeah but he'd beat Revan via sabers.
I'm joking.
Would anyone, or yourself, wish to discuss Revan vs Dooku in regards to dueling? I will do a "tl;dr" on why I believe Revan would win:
Revan has more experience (fought in countless battles), comparable technical mastery (mastered all forms of lightsaber combat to the highest pinnacle), far greater Force reserves and augmentation (i.e. speed, strength, accuracy, etc.), and greater accomplishments (i.e. being said to be the greatest warrior in Mandalorian history, etc.). He also proven himself to be a much more dominating combatant (i.e. the purges on Manaan, Korriban, Rakata, and the Star Forge) with endurance and durability that is nearly unrivaled in all of lore. Finally, Revan's unique Battle Precognition that is said to predict entire wars in advance will grant him an even further edge on a field he is already, clearly, dominating.

Revan destroys Dooku as hard as I just destroyed you.

Indeed it is. Now, in a one on one chat with Ant perhaps you can tell him that I never ever said Revan was unable to kill him, and that therefore he's using the term concession wrong. I was merely stating that a within a protracted attack, not to mention a lengthy engagement, including the long attack, he failed to kill or incapacitate any of them (render unconscious, in this case), or whatever his intent was. He failed, period. Revan's good spirit is irrelevant when discussing the length of the attack, before his intervention, unless his spirit was diminishing the entire fight? If that's the case, I'd rather hear it from you if you don't mind. And also, that if Dooku can so casually dominate the likes of Ventress effortlessly and quickly, or dominate her and two other nightsisters simultaneously despite his handicaps, then it stands to reason that dominating a larger group with a much stronger and longer attack is well within his ability, especially when the force users he's so easily downed have better showing than Shan or any individual on the TOR strike team. Logic dictates that when something is done so easily, that shouldn't be accepted as the pinnacle of one's performance, or anywhere near close to it.
