Your lists are actually pretty neat, but I think my tiers are better

Are you implying that DE Sidious improved from RotS as a lightsaber duelist, or that Yoda got better as he aged?

DE Sidious probably improved just from the sheer power increase; he spent 20 years studying the Force to the OT, during which some of his best feats in the EU occur, and then he explicitly grows even more powerful by DE, and puts himself in a clone body from his physical prime. Any rust that he may have accumulated, if we assume he just decided to forsake lightsaber dueling altogether, is likely compensated for given those improvements.

Yup so 25+ years, my mistake.
Originally posted by NewGuy01Meh, RotS, post AotC - same difference.
TCW has called that into question, though. RotS being the first time he's held his lightsaber in years is retconned now.
