Actually, isn't there a quote saying Cin was the most skilled Jedi in the temple during Knightfall? (thus suggesting he's > Shaak Ti)
Ehhhhhhhh.
The inverse is also said. There's also sources stating Shaak Ti organised the fleeing of the younger Jedi while Cin refused to abandon his pupils who stayed to fight, suggesting she'd already evacuated the temple when that quote surfaces. Not to mention, when Anakin arrives in the temple the first Jedi he attempts to find is Shaak 🙂
Basically, even Drallig's hype isn't that great mmm
I'll give this one to Kas'im.
For the love of...jeez folks, here's the quote.
"Power moves served you well on Hypori against Jedi such as Daakman Barrek and Tarr Seir. But I pity you should you have to face off against any of the Council Masters."He called into hand his courtly, curve-handled lightsaber and drew a rapid X in the air - - a Makashi flourish.
"Do I need to demonstrate what responses you can expect from Cin Drallig or Obi-Wan Kenobi? From Mace Windu or, stars help you, Yoda?"
- LoE
All of 2 seconds.

I think that's more because Ti told Anakin prior pretty much "You're a noob, you can't help Mace and them." When Mace and company went to go arrest Palpatine.
"I'm the chosen one. My place is there." His breathing roughened, and he looked as if he was getting even sicker. "I have to be there. That's the prophecy, isn't it? I have to be there-""Anakin, why? The Masters are the best of the Order. What can you possibly do?"
- ROTS novel.
I'd be pretty pissed tbh.
Sounds more like he just wanted to slaughter her, than seeing her as a bigger threat.

@Zenwolf: It should also be noted that Dooku was mad at Grievous for being too machinelike in his training and was berating him.
True, but I don't think that would really be a factor in what he said.
Though granted also true, that would correlate to that particular Grevious' fighting style.
So through his fighting style there, yeah perhaps Dooku was just meaning the way Grevious was fighting at the time.
Which was also the way that Grevious fought and overwhelmed Ti and wrecked all the other Jedi aside from Mundi.
So even still, that's still something for Cin there, as while Grevious might not fight that way later on, it didn't make him any less dangerous considering what he did with said fighting style.

I do. He's seeing Grievous as not being elegant enough in his movements. Given Dooku's the era's premiere Makashi practitioner which is the most classic and elegant of the 7 forms Grievous's style would likely piss him off, even make him think that it was a mockery to lightsaber combat which would bring about that chiding. Given how Grievous performed against Mace and the fact that Mace is well above Cin Drallig along with most of the other Council Members I believe we can safely say that the words that Dooku said in anger and annoyance in an effort to berate Grievous did not hold much actual weight.

Check my edit, I think that's fair.
