I honestly didn't even think that was a possible opinion to have, lmfao.
No, Yoda doesn't walk .000001 miles per minute because of some ****ing affectation, wtf?
Yoda's enemies in the Temple? None that I know of. The opposition the Jedi have to overcome as Galactic peacekeepers? Quite a large assortment I'd imagine.
I don't see Yoda throwing the cane away every time he's outside of the public eye. He's a pretty philosophical dude as shown in TCW so I imagine the slow pace of life as the Order's "frail" and "old" master suits him. Allows him to take things in and turn them over in his mind.

Yoda's abilities as a great warrior is publicly known as per DR, I believe, so who's he faking there?
Hell, why is he walking up to Dooku slow when Dooku and him sparred in the past?
I honestly think your the only person in the planet who think Yoda's been faking his cane. 😬
Second section of the last response addresses most of your post. It's possible Yoda simply enjoys taking life slower. Actually, we KNOW that's the case since it would take the barest fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the energy Yoda possesses to allow him to replicate the physical attributes of an Olympian athlete at all times. As per DR we know he doesn't NEED the cane to get around and logically Yoda's passive augmentation as a Force user should FAR exceed the likes of Maul. That's all that's really needed for me to adopt the position that Yoda isn't nearly as frail as he acts.
I might just be. 😛 But that's ok.

Why not? Ever read "The Art of War?"One of the most important tenants is to keep your true strength hidden from your enemies. If Yoda could make the Galaxy think he was just a wise old sage that needs a cane to move around all the better if they underestimate him.

No.
Yodas battle feats are more akin to a Super Saiyan; he may be able to call on that power at any time but he lives comfortably at a much lower level of existence mostly due to his old age. Notice when he's done fighting Dooku he got back to his arthritic self and slowly laboriously grabs his cane... Thats no con job he's pulling its his natural state; he "powers up" when he fights but it cant last forever.
Yes he was, but say Sidious showed up in that hangar looking for trouble right afterwards Yoda would've been able to spring back into action on a dime; he's not hiding his true strength he just wouldn't be able to sustain amped Force abilities forever, his energy conservation is probably best displayed by his little hover chair we see him use throughout the PT in the Jedi Temple.
Only Sidious is stated to use his cane as a trick.
Yoda clearly does not use the force walking around, or else he wouldn't need the ****ing cane. His just uses the force to augment himself when he needs to fight.
Vader needed time to meditate and draw on the dark side outside of his suit in order to function in his armor properly. Just another example that shows force users aren't just constantly drawing on the force to augment themselves necessarily.

And he'd lose pretty quickly because he had used up most of his Force reserves thus "exhausting" himself.
