Wait...what does "perfect state of clarity" mean? At the opening states of their battle, he was using a ploy form, so it's tough to tell how good he was. But a "perfect clarity" Anakin would theoretically destroy Palpatine, lol.

Vader has had decades to hone his skills as a duelist and in the Force by ROTJ, also he's a cyborg with artificial limbs, by default he's stronger. This is specifically stated in the novel Rise of Darth Vader.
Vader had to completely retool his fighting style. We know that his armor hindered his actions. And neither his feats nor accolades ever reach Anakin's league again
Yes, he's obviously much stronger naturally due to his mechanical body. But Anakin's Force augmentation is much stronger, so that balances it out. Given that Anakin's strength output exceeds the likes of Grievous and Yoda, I doubt you could bring up feats for Vader that are in excess of that.
Yeah Neph, he is easily matching Yoda's strength in the best state of mind clarity can afford him. He also has the weight, leverage and stylistic advantage.
Noobsnowman confirmed. Lol, I always wondered why you got so upset with me before, now it all makes sense.
@Neph, Yoda and Palpatine seem to be pretty even as far as augmentation goes, and Yoda disarms him through superior skill - which makes sense. However, ROTS Anakin is confirmed to be a new type of beast than his former self in TCW and was legitimately battering Dooku, on all accounts.
