Anakin couldn't react to him in the ROTS novelization, he still wouldn't be able to track him even if he were to face him in combat

I don't buy this at all. Aside from the fact that part of the novel isn't canon, Sidious was also seen as a Blur by Windu, yet Windu was able to fight him, So Anakin "seeing" Sidious as a Blur does not in any way mean he wouldn't be capable of fighting him.
Or have you completely forgotten Luke's very first Saber training session?

Well Windu doesn't get the situ amp from Vaapad as he did in the novel, that mental state of his had a major situational buff for his emotions.
Sidious does have prep.
Shaak Ti won't get put down like Fisto, Tiin and Kolar were, Form II & IV master plus most cunning duellist on the high council statement points to her perfoming better than all three of her contemporaries.
If Vaapad is off, Sidious would probably have to take 2 of them out with force powers before diving in with his saber like he did in the movie. If its down to Windu and Anakin, Sidious would eventually kill them.
"To design and choreograph the sequence as well as the myriad other action-packed scenes in Revenge of the Sith Gillard says he first discussed with writer-director George Lucas the fighting prowess of each of the characters, which were ranked against other Jedi on a scale of 1 to 10". - Dueling Jedi article
"In Attack of the Clones, I had to give them levels," he says. "Sidious is a level nine . On this film, Obi is eight - he's moved up - Anakin is a nine; Mace is a nine, Yoda is a nine. They're up with Sidious". - The making of RotS.
Two out of four have the same combat prowess as Sidious. Sidious gets stomped.
I don't think I need to explain why Anakin isnt on the same power level with ROTS Sidious...
If Kenobi joined Yoda to face Sidious for example, he would do no harm to Sidious at all, in fact he would disturb Yoda's focus as Yoda would have to try to keep Kenobi alive.
The Choreography Arhael's referring to is related to Saber prowess only. Not Force TK Prowess which is something completely separate, but plays an important part in who can compete with who in all out combat.
The movie counts as the final canon version of the fight, not the novel and certainly not the comic book. Although they may represent earlier drafts of the fight.
Exactly and Sidious is being heavily lowballed here. This scene made me change my mind about Sidious' lightning being the strongest sith lightning out there and still Anakin only made things worse.
So are you or Arhael suggesting that Anakin could kill 3 council members in seconds while fighting Windu?
He killed Tiin and Kolar faster than they could react in the movie, in the novel he moved fast enough to be 'fading from reality' to Anakin's perspective. There is no difference in speed between the films and novel, the only reason Windu didn't get blitzed was due to being immersed in Vaapad
