Canon Dooku runs the Legends sabers gauntlet

Run 1: TCW
Run 2: ROTS

Trash: Darth Bane

1. Darth Malak
2. Darth Malgus
3. Starkiller
4. Ulic Qel Droma
5. Jaina Solo
6. Darth Krayt
7. Darth Caedus

Boss: FOTJ Luke Skywalker

Where does he stop

U

Canon?

TCW and RotS Dooku aren't that different in sabers IMO

Possibly down at Malgus

6, probably.

What about TCW Dooku?

Is there a reason to believe that there's much difference between the two incarnations in Canon? I mean, the only reason I can see to suggest that there's a difference between them is that Dooku performed even better against Anakin in RotS than in S4 TCW, and we know that Anakin grew vastly in power in between. He was also even with Anakin at the start of TCW. Which, granted, is quite a convincing reason, actually, but I'm unsure if that's because they both grew drastically or if it's just TCW's stupidity.

If he gets rest, he probably makes it to 6 either way. And perhaps a slight chance that he makes it to 7.

Dead at 6.

5-7

Legends characters are generally more powerful due to having more extraordinary feats, particularly if Stover's novel isn't canon.

There's also more supplement material to draw from, which you can then scale to the Legends characters along with their feats that they show.

Anakin dominated Dooku in the film. No clue what you're talking about Nova.

At the end, yeah.

I know. This is Canon only, though. I'm comparing Canon TCW Dooku to Canon RotS Dooku.

This.

Dooku isn't beating Krayt for any kind of majority, lal.

What has Krayt done to be superior to Dooku as a lightsaber combatant?

Besides being far more powerful in the Force, which, as the Darth Bane trilogy showed us, plays a big part in lightsaber duels: giving Obi-Wan a legit battle literally centuries before "perfected" his CQC skills and strength in the Force to a ludicrous degree, holding an edge over Cade Skywalker (who himself has Obi-Wan level skill showings) in his Vong state, blitzing and wrecking four of the best Imperial Guards in the galaxy while in a tremendously weakened state, again, thanks to the Vong transplants, etc.

Dooku's showing look better on paper, but using scaling and applying context and reason, it's pretty obvious Krayt is superior all around.

Canon Dooku lacks speed feats and is likely no faster than a normal human. Loses all rounds.

5-6.
