Were they equals? Definitely not.
Was Vader the better of the two? Clearly.
Did Ahsoka perform very impressively against a high tier opponent? **** yeah.
8th Brother sucked a dick. Such a disappointment, shit he did worse than a muggle Terellian Jango Jumper against Ahsoka.

Well Ahsoka wasn't in a desperate retreat for ten seconds before being dominated by the Force five seconds later, so I'd say I don't really understand why Ahsoka's performance against Vader doesn't meet yours.
Ventress was holding Dooku off far longer then 10 seconds. Need to rewatch that episode Emp.
I'm not really going to debate with you about Ahsoka's performance considering I haven't see the fight but from what I've heard it's apparently not what you were all expecting and coming from you I'm interested to learn what a "steady retreat" from Ahsoka looks like.

She got trashed pretty damn quickly.

Which is why your prolific commentary on the fight you haven't even seen kinda shocks me a bit tbh
It wasn't what I was expecting. It was honestly more impressive for Ahsoka than what I was expecting.
She was doing well enough from a sabers standpoint that if Dooku didn't have the force edge he did I feel she could have held out for a more impressive amount of time.
I was just trying to joke around. Apparently that was a no no.
Given your description of the performance it's about what I was expecting.
Ahsoka did fine, but I'm not seeing where people are getting the idea that she was Vader's equal or that she even really pressed him. There's a reason Vader turned his back on her and focused on getting the holocron. She didn't have his complete and undivided attention until after her sneak attack and we know how that turned out. Definitely not Vader level.
Don't worry though. If the writers are going in the direction I think they're going, you can expect her to be within Vader tier by season 3 or 4 as he trains her to be his secret apprentice in an effort to take down the Emperor. She'll probably be masked or something and we won't find out its her until the season finale.

But if you want something a little more conclusive:

1:04-1:07, 1:10-1:15, 1:35-1:48
It's quite apparent that Ventress and Dooku are quite far from being evenly matched as duelists.

I didn't say equals. Just that she could compete. Ventress's general demeanor in those moments and throughout the fight is one of pure offense as she was expecting Savage to be a greater help then he actually was evidenced by her growing frustration with his failure. When she faced Dooku alone we saw her do much better until Dooku applied his force advantage.
Well... That's unfortunate.
It's not uploaded on my usual sites yet so no.
