Makashi excels against Soresu, considering that Soresu's probably the least kinetic form there is. Dooku is also much more skilled than Kenobi, being able to tool good jedi masters (like Sora Bulq and Master Tholme, at once) and people like Assaj Ventress (who was able to almost match Obi-Wan in saber combat by Obsession which isn't too far from ROTS), stand toe to toe with people like Yoda and Mace Windu and he was also clearly able to handle Obi-Wan fine in ROTS, whatever explanation that the ROTS novel has to say about Kenobi holding back in the beginning or whatever is simply wrong, because the whole fight scene is a complete contradiction to what happens in the movie, which renders it invalid.
Honestly, I'm loath to use any information from the depiction of that fight in the novelisation. Most of it appears to be hyperbolic and contradictory.
Advent and I debated this over in the Windu vs. Vader thread. I analyzed the ROTS movie duel. It's impossible to suggest that Kenobi gets killed in 13 seconds due to the Kick-Choke-Throw, because in that manner Anakin would get owned as well (becasue Dooku could have given the same treatment to him instead)!!! And considering all these facts, Advent gave Kenobi 40 seconds while I am giving him 1 minute 5 seconds.

he is one of the only people who ever stalemated mace, the other was yoda, but i dont put them on the same level, i think that tyrannus would get owned by yoda, in clone wars he looked as if he was taken aback by how good yoda was then said hell with this and made that piller fall on obi wan and anakin so he could askape. I dont think he's on par with mace in the force or in saber skills but i havent seen this guys full force powers, i know he pawns grevous and ventress but i dont know what his powers are. Sidious and Yoda would kill him eventually though, maybe he really is the darkseid verson of mace windu but like i said i dont put him on par with yoda or darth sidious.
