That Anakin wins, tbh.
The Anakin we see fighting the magnaguards, dealing with battle droids on the way to Dooku, during the end of OCW, etc., takes sabers but loses Force and all-out.
^ yeah.

The force advantage is still overrated. If you have X take Sabers and y take force, it's not an even split. It's like the Starkiller versus battles, he should get outclassed by Kenobi tier Duelists very convincingly but everyone thinks he'll just fcking spam force pushes, like wtf?
It really varies with the medium. It seems to make sense that a sufficient Force advantage would just be tactically superior to being better with a blade by a comparable margin, but that also depends on how difficult you think it is to launch successful Force attacks.

Yeah, but their range is limited.
If you look at the extreme, like an insta-kill level saber advantage vs. an insta-kill level Force advantage, the latter would win in all but the closest starting distances for the same reason a guy with a drawn gun usually beats a guy with a sword.
If the disparity is smaller, then it becomes more debatable.
hence why in close-combat, superior skill tends to trump superior power, provided that both disparities are similar and not vast.
Well, not when you consider the contribution of that power to precog and augmentation. In that case, power seems to be at least as important.
