10 or 11

7 for sure because this time Dooku won't be holding back

1.

EDIT: Actually, didn't see that this was sabers only. He could make it to 12, with some luck. He probably falls at 1, 8, or 11 though.

Anakin was holding back in the initial stages of the duel as well, according to the Stover novelization (which is simultaneously the primary source for Dooku holding back). Even so, Dooku was struggling mightily against Anakin; even before his Zonakin phase his every attack "aged [Dooku] a decade".

Krayt would beat him imo

How can Anakin lose Round 1? He is superior to Bane and beats him in a sabers only, and Zannah will just stand there and wait, given she can't even attack and failed to cut down unarmed, drugged Bane, and couldn't do anything because of having 0 ability to attack.

Anakin beats DoE Bane every time, while Zannah can only look and wait.

I agree with you because the same thing is usually seen in their duels in TCW, but Dooku always pushes him back with his force abilities. He held back from this in RotS.

Or Anakin was stronger in the Force in ROTS

When he tapped into his full potential for that brief "dark" moment near the end sure I can see that.

Dooku just effed up tactic wise by pissing him the F off and not intervening with force earlier in the fight.

That's possible but this is a dueling gauntlet.

In Sabers only I'm giving the majority to Anakin as it seems most of the time Dooku's age and use of Makashi struggles against Djem So without the aid of TK (Though that performance on Oba Diah by Dooku was quite impressive).

Oddly interesting match-ups....

I feel like you're really low-balling Dooku

I'd say he's lowballing Bane and Zannah worse considering he has Anakin doing better against Bane and Zannah combined than anyone else in this gauntlet.
