Anakin Skywalker (ROTS) VS. Mace Windu (ROTS)

Who would win in a battle to the death?
Setting: Open Plain

Depends, does Anakin have two sabers

😂

Mace, though.

We should consider that Vaapad won't be as effective against Anakin (assuming this is light side Anakin). Although he still has Shatterpoint.

The only reason Windu managed to defeat Sidious was due to these abilities. Vaapad kept him on par with Sidious for most of the fight, until his Shatterpoint was able to exploit his weaknesses. Against Anakin, he'd be fighting without the aid of said ability, or at least with much less efficiency coming from it.

I think this would be closer than some people might believe.

Vaapad will be as effective regardless.

Against Dark Side Anakin? Yes
Against clarity Anakin? No, not nearly as effective as it was against Sidious.

Anakin is Mace's equal in sabers, or damned close to it.

Mace, and without too much difficulty

Unless we assume that Vaapad plays a decisive role here, then Anakin will give Mace the fight of his life.

And God help Windu if Anakin has two sabers.

You must be joking. You've seen the hell Anakin gives Dooku and you think Mace stomps him? 😆

Don't get me wrong. I believe Anakin wins, especially darkside one. What I meant is that Vaapad will work same way regardless of Anakin's state of mind. In other words I am against bullshit claims that Vaapad works better against darksiders.

Hmm, why is that? I was under the impression that Vaapad drew on the Dark Side of the opposing side and powered the Jedi wielding it.

I dunno if Anakin wins...I am not entirely convinced, especially because when it comes to force Windu is likely his better.

I think Mace takes this. Anakin was no doubt a great duelist at this point, but he was not Sidious', Mace's, or Yoda's equal. It wouldn't be a quick fight by any means, though Anakin falls in the end.

And you, sir, are correct. That is exactly how Vaapad works.

Outside of that, Vaapad is a ferocious form, which gives the user great speed and offensive prowess.

But its effectiveness reduced by half. The user accepts the fury of their opponent, transforming them into one half of a superconducting loop. The other half is the darkness of the opponent. Therefore, if the user is not a dark sider, the way in which the form is designed to be utilized would be literally incomplete.

That's what your missing. Dooku was Mace's Equal and he lost.

That's what you're missing. He wasn't Mace's equal. 😎

Is it stated by an actual source that Windu is Dooku's equal?

"Among the other Jedi, perhaps only Mace Windu would have been his equal on neutral ground."

Prior to ROTS, yes. 😉
