The film visibly shows Skywalker slashing Cin Drallig's shoulder here:

So, Anakin Skywalker killed Cin Drallig in two to three strikes with one hand.
And, let's just look over what he brings to the table:
So, even if you want to discredit one source as not being accurate, numerous sources highlight Cin Drallig as a B-Team or greater combatant.
Also, he's a greater lightsaber combatant than Shaak Ti, as stated here:

Obviously note Shaak Ti was inside the Jedi Temple and fighting the defenses, as stated here:

And Shaak Ti obviously has impressive feats, which are well known, and accolades, with some posted below:

This is direct proof Anakin Skywalker is capable of two-shotting the likes of Shaak Ti, Kit Fisto, Cin Drallig, etc. in a pure lightsaber battle.
That's a level of skill that puts him directly up with the foremost swordsmasters in the mythos, like Palpatine, Yoda, and Luke Skywalker.
Dismissing a top-rate Jedi swordsmaster like that is vastly beyond Dooku's capabilities. It's vastly beyond Mace Windu. It's vastly beyond Darth Vader.
And really, it shouldn't be much of a surprise. Let's take a look at this quote:
And this is further enforced by the following quote:
The first quote directly attributes Luke Skywalker's innate potential as a central reason for being capable of directly matching Darth Vader in combat. When one considers how vastly greater Anakin Skywalker's potential is (on par with the anchorites), it's frighteningly clear how skilled he really is. By the time of his final fight with Dooku or Cin Drallig, Anakin Skywalker is the foremost duelist on Djem So with years of combat experience. The text makes note that against Obi-Wan Kenobi alone, the two have spent "thousands of hours" sparring together. But further yet, his skills, which are already among the best, is rooted in the greatest pool of power the galaxy has ever known - power certainly relevant to the scene of the battlefield. In the fight with Dooku, Skywalker shows virtually unlimited strength, capable of simply growing more and more powerful without backing down or tiring. The text also conveys the image that his raw physical strength is greater than anything Dooku has ever encountered - which includes Grievous, Mace Windu, and yes, Yoda. Simply comparing those three performances against what Anakin Skywalker displayed against Dooku makes clear that what he did on the Invisible Hand was absolutely ridiclous. He outright and indisputably humiliated a Mace Windu-tier combatant into submission. Yes, Dooku did gain the advantage due to Dun Moch, but that isn't an indication of skill, so the point's mute to what I'm trying to argue.
Anakin Skywalker is quite possibly the most powerful Jedi to have ever lived - it's time we begin to accept it.
Wait I see, but it's not showing the blade cut through Cin's shoulder, Anakin's blade is just lowered, the hologram isn't showing the death. In fact when the scene switches to Yoda, you do hear more sounds of lightsaber clashing.
But the hologram moves too quickly to really tell much of anything, I'm not seeing the hack in the shoulder really.

The holograms copy exactly what is seen, what you are arguing is that the hologram was glitched during the fight to show the saber going through Cin, but something like that wouldn't happen when hologram's like that are the equivalent of Earth's security cameras.
On top of that, the mountains of evidence support what is seen on the hologram.
Whether or not its Solid is moot because the lightsabers aren't visibly see-through.

In the movie scene you can still hear the noise of lightsaber strikes after the movie focuses on Obi's reaction to the hologram. If Drallig was dead, who was Ani fighting against?
