Darth Vader vs Count Dooku (Canon)

*Peak Vader*
*Peak Dooku*
*Canon only*

Inspired by Ant's skepticism of Vader's superiority.

1. Force
2. Sabers
3. All-out

Vader in all three

Vader fanatics are really getting riled up.

Vader but really close IMO.

Not really. I just really started getting into canon Vader, so I'm not adequately equipped to debate Ant on Vader vs Dooku, so I decided to see what everyone else thinks.

I can see discussion value coming out of this, tbh. Dooku can be argued as the superior duelist, while Vader as the better Force wielder.

What has Vader ever done that has so impressed you people ?

Dooku sweeps

Vader takes Force and all-out, and Tyranus likely takes sabers.

Reasons people, reasons.

It's obvious Canon is painting Vader as superior(Sidious also notes this), and his telekinetic showings are quite frankly much better than anything canon Dooku has done.

Add to that his monumental strength, Dooku's (exaggerated) weakness to that in-canon and Dooku's gonna have a hard time outfencing Vader before the latter hurls him off a cliff or something.

Vader takes all

Vader

Pre-Disney, a purely G canon debate, or really a pre-TFU one, would have Dooku on top.

Dooku>TFU Vader *eye emoji. The fight between him and Maul Reborn is consistent with Vaders power around that time since he didn't take down Old Ben easily.

Don't make me destroy you, Merch.

Vader in all, with sabers being the closest. Dooku has a good chance of winning due to Vader's lack of mobility and vulnerabilities which Makashi can exploit. On the other hand, Dooku can't take too many blows from Vader's immense strength.

Disney Vader is superior all around to Dooku
