Darth Vader's Lightsaber Skills

Yeah I guess not. But that means Maul vs Vader is already doomed to be a massive lopsided contest

Maul will be defeated yes. But I believe to make it appear to be a good fight Vader will be hindered or Maul will be amped in some way.

So The Resurrection fight all over again except Vader dominating? That's kinda boring.

Dooku has some nice feats of his own but primarily in lightsaber skill. As with Maul, Dooku was more of a duelist than a Force practitioner. Vader seemed not to be particular toward either one. That said, Vader is more powerful than Dooku based on feats; so listing showings from Dooku in that regard is pointless. However, their dueling feats should be compared with one another.

Dooku has:
held his own against Yoda (he lost in every encounter he had with Yoda though even while amped)
sparred as an equal with and beaten Mace Windu
beaten Obi-Wan and Anakin consecutively
beaten Tholme and Sora Bulq simultaneously
beaten Quinlan Vos
beaten Grievous several times
beaten Asajj Ventress

Vader has:
beaten the Dark Woman
beaten Celeste Morne
beaten Roan Shryne
fought as an equal with Darth Maul
fought as an equal with Luke
fought as an equal with Obi-Wan (whose skills had increased since Mustafar)
effortlessly beaten five or six Jedi, two to three at a time in succession (basically a gauntlet of Jedi)
beaten four out of eight Jedi; one of them killed another; the last three defeated Vader by combining their powers to hurl objects at him (this was shortly after RotS; so Vader was still new to his armor and substantially grew in power and skill later on)
beaten countless other individual no-name Jedi and Dark Jedi (Bol Chatak, Sha Koon, Sardoth, Hylon, etc.)

Honestly, the characters that Dooku has fought have their own respective feats to credit their skills, while many (but not all) of the opponents Vader has dueled are virtually featless, which is largely why I consider Dooku a slightly better swordsman. But as I said, Djem So might even that out.

What has changed in todays Star Wars? He can stalemate Ashoka Tano on a Darkside nexus?

Stalemate? He was beating her.

What, because she was making orgasm faces?

Because he was consistently on the offensive, she seemed visibly fatigued near the end, and he drove her out of center of the temple to the edge of it. It's obvious he was winning.

The use of of conjecture is a sure sign tell that there was nothing obvious about it.

I'd love to hear your explanation on how it was a stalemate, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Given that there is little no evidence to the contrary it should be easy.

It was a stalemate because it was a stalemate.

Tano face ****ed him and held her own. Vader is an embarrassment.

Dooku has comprehensively beaten his opponents. Moreso than Vader tbh and Dooku didn't have a massive strength and stamina advantage to rely on when he wasn't winning.
