Mace Windu vs Yoda

Yeah, Sidious definitely seemed to unleash himself more against Yoda then he did against Mace, which does suggest that he could have been holding back against Mace to basically give Anakin his final test.

^You could also argue that the Dark Side by that point was far more powerful with the eradication of the Jedi Order and the rise of the Empire.

I think Mace beat Sidious fair and square but I don't think he can repeat the same performance against Yoda. Mace was basically in the fight of his lifetime and was punching way above his weight. Seeing the other masters cut down in front of his eyes, fighting for the fate of the republic, his Vaapad being so strong because of Sidious.

I feel Mace's "baseline" level is closer to Dooku/Maul tier than Yoda/Sidious tier.

Mace wins pretty handily.

yoda

I think Yoda is better in sabers and obviously force powers.

Yoda should win this battle.

Also didn’t Lucas say that Mace defeated sidious fair and square hence a better saber duelist , the only Time sidious faked/ feigned his weakness is when aniken comes and when he uses his force lightening etc ?

Lucas's tier system had Yoda as a 9 and windu as an 8 bordering 9 which would indicate yoda was a bit better

OR Sidious was just in a better position and location to keep his distance and Unleash his full powers on Yoda than he was Mace.

This is possible. Look how Ahsoka fought above her league against Maul in S7.

This is definitely not the case.

If Yoda was able to disarm Sidious I don't see it out of the realm of possibility for Mace to do the same.
