He still did not burn his own face on purpose and lose the saber. Windu did not have to wait. Sidious can note pre,dice the future. Windu beat him. Sidious used the situation to his advantage as a master manipulator.

Actually it can be argued that he did in order to look weak to anakin and need assistance when George Lucas explicitly states that sidious was faking weakness. Also in the duel sidious could have killed mace with his force powers. I have to agree to disagree on that one. He is a master manipulator and can use precog however I do freely admit I have my doubts on how the ability works. However he doesn't have to see in the future as its common sense. If your wife is going to die and I tell you about someone who can save her and them tell you you can't learn it from a Jedi. Then I go in to tell you I'm the one who can save her. And I have been trying to manipulate you to the dark side ever since the battle with count dooku all the way to then you really think I don't have all of this prepared and ready?
He faked weakness when he was shooting the Lightning because he knew in his current situation he couldn't get the better of Windu and needed assistance.
He had all the pieces together to manipulate Anakin and used the situation along with Windu about to kill him to turn Anakin. But he lost the duel. If the guy was all knowing he would have foreseen vader toss him over the edge down a shaft in Rotj.
Yeah, for all his power, Sidious' precog seem to really suck. That could be due to his arrogance and makes sense the way Dark Side powers work (fueled by passion, rage and other strong emotions). His power (other than his raw power, I mean) lie in his ability to manipulate others and to "cloud" others' precog over a huge area (how he was able to hide order 66 from the Jedi council acknowledged by Yoda in the movie IIRC).

He lost the battle but did he lose the battle. Like yes he lost but the purpose behind it. He succeeded in drawing anakin to the dark side. Well he actually faked weakness so he could look weak to anakin so anakin would help him. Master manipulator.
He lost the duel and manipulated Anakin after he showed up. Windu even knew how unstable Anakin was and warned him to stay away. Anakin was mentally weak as shit.
So when the Ultimate Clownshoes named Quan says he lost you concede he lost the battle, but before that he threw the fight blah blah blah. I know you guys bonded with your Harry Potter OneZee's on while supporting the coward Voldy, but you don't need to be such a weak follower. Grow a pair Clownshoes Jr.
You cannot even string together a complete sentence so you shouldn't attempt to mock anyone. You're a fool. He actually uses evidence to debate unlike yourself.

You mistook that out of context. What we saw onscreen was that he lost but he threw the fight so he won the fight. He lost onscreen but he actually won the fight sense he is the better duelist. I actually don't support voldemort I support the order and hogwarts for your info. Also get a brain sense you misunderstood what I said. I said he lost but he didn't lose. He lost the battle onscreen. But he threw the fight and the purpose behind the battle sidious also won.

You misunderstood what I said sidious threw the fight all the proof you believe is on your side which is one line vs more than just one line of proof and common sense is on my side.

I will make this clear so everyone will understand. Onscreen without commentary or anything what we see is sidious lost. That is what I mean by he lost the battle. However add in all the commentary and common sense and logic and your brain then you know sidious threw the fight.
I disagree. He can't predict the future and needed all his focus on windu. He was disarmed and manipulated from his position at that point. That was his only play since windu had him dead to rights.
