What's to take seriously? Some guy telling me that one character is better than another on a forum about a fictional universe where cyborg's wielding 4 lightsabers can be defeated by Gungans?
Oh and I found one that states straight forward that Dooku is indeed faster than Kenobi at his prime:
"The two droids fired at Obi-Wan, but he batted their fired energy bolts back at them and cut them down as he moved fast for Dooku. Unfortunately, Dooku moved faster, extending his left hand toward Obi-Wan as he used the Force to lift the Jedi off his feet while at the same time constricting his throat."

Problem?

Obi-Wan deflects the blaster bolts and then quickly moves to close the gap between him and Dooku, but Dooku Force chokes him. It doesn't follow that Dooku is necessarily faster than Kenobi, merely that he was able to extend his hand and summon the Force faster than Obi-Wan was able to cover whatever distance was between them.
If you're 20 feet away and rush at me, the fact that I can touch my chin faster than it takes you to reach me doesn't mean I'm faster, merely that I can complete my much more limited motion faster than you can complete yours.

Originally posted by KurkI always embrace the context. Do not lie. You've lost once again.
We're dealing with Quanchi here. He doesn't think in context when the situation doesn't benefit him. As long as it says Dooku is faster, I win. Just like in DD it says that Vos was faster than Dooku, though in context he just barely managed to get out of the way.
