Anakin Skywalker's Physical Strength (Comparison)

Which puts Anakin above Vader, who's only beaten scrubs and driven back Ahsoka on a potential DS nexus.

I didn't say otherwise, anyway.

As of Season 4? Sure thing darling. Ahsoka would probably be his match at that point.

Regardless that's completely besides the point, not sure what compelled you to bring it up.

There's also their fight on Naboo where Anakin seemed physically stronger, even though Dooku was fighting defensively.

and then there is the other fight with magnaguards where Dooku disarms him and matches his bladelocks without much trouble.

With Magnaguards is the key point there.

It's a pretty solid response proving that Anakin was getting stronger through the duel.

That didn't need proving. And is irrelevant anyway, since we are talking about standard RotS Anakin, not Zonakin. That countered nothing I posted.

Also when Dooku blocks both Kenobi and Skywalker he had leverage and positioning on his side. [/B]

In regards to Kenobi, yes, but he blocks Anakin's downward vertical strike head on, one-handed, with no visible issue. And again:

@Azronger I am speaking purely in terms of Canon. What are your gifs supposed to prove? Everyone and their mother pushes each other back in a blade lock (the best example being Ahsoka pushing back Grievous).

Um, Dooku blocked his attacks head on. What do you mean it doesn't prove anything? If Ahsoka pushed Grievous back in a blade lock, then good for her.

On the other hand, Anakin smashes away Dooku's guard just moment later.

There is also the Oba Diah fight when Anakin power attacks Dooku and he easily blocks it and then pushes Anakin back.

not really, unless you want me to believe that 4 magnaguards was enough to weaken Anakin to where Dooku can outmuscle him.

We saw them fight one on one later that same season. Dooku was being driven back the whole fight.

Dooku was outmanoeuvring them both in that fight.

But Anakin seems to hold back when fighting with Obi-Wan.

Right, there was no need for him to be on the offensive though; he was simply trying to escape with Palpatine.

Well he wasn't actually trying to escape with Palpatine. He was just pretending that's his goal. The real purpose was for him to fight Ani.

Yes he was fighting defensively. But he still ended up being booted onto the stairs with only his Lightning and TK saving him from being throttled.

regardless of what happened later that scene happened.

You can't just cling to one instance like that. Anakin seems to have the physical strength edge much more often than not.

Lol so what you arguing about?

Anakin got mad and overpowered Dooku. Stop overanalyzing everything lol

And he does it again a few seconds after this but it's a little hard to see in a gif

^ He's just outfighting him in those scans. Aside from the first one nothing hints at Dooku using greater strength.

Except to disarm someone with literally slicing their limbs off, you need to force their lightsabers out of their hands. Something impossible without strength.

Second one he pushes back against his blade before slicing at him

Third one he disarms him pretty clearly with one big sweeping motion. Don't tell me that none of those maneuvers can be done without strength.
