Count Dooku [Pro] Vs Mace Windu [Con]

Thank you Con for posting your argument I will now make my Counter-Argument "Dooku's is specificlaly designed for one-handed holding making him weaker than Windu when it comes to close-combat." - Con This is false Dooku's blade can be wielded double handed however because of Makashi he wields it with on hand in order to make the dueling form more effective. "Windu is simply too strong for Dooky physically. The reason Anakin lost to Dooku despite being younger and fitter is that unlike Windu, Anakin isn't brilliant at actual saber fighting, his strength lies in force manipulation " - Con This is also false although Windu may be stronger that doesn't mean Dooku can't withstand his attack if you look at the video. You can see a much older Anakin using his rage against Dooku and although Dooku is pressured he remains calm and is easily able to counter Anakin's assault by using the force. Anakin is also a very renowned Duelist as he is a Djem Duelist and considered to be one of the very best in his fight against Obi-Wan Kenobi if Obi-Wan had not moved the fight around by changing it's location he would've easily been overpowered and killed by Anakin the only reason Anakin killed Dooku was because Dooku could not handle the assault of two skilled Jedi that being Obi-Wan and Anakin. "Both are mentally adept at fighting so the fight won't be won by one outsmarting the other; it will be won by the one who tires out last and doesn't make a fatal error by slipping up before that." I agree with you up to a certain point however Dooku is far superior when it comes to Knowledge and Experience as I stated while Dooku was a Jedi he was often tasked with going to different systems and fighting. He has also been a Jedi for far longer than Mace and also trained Qui Gon Jinn another very powerful Jedi. Dooku has been able to fend off multiple Jedi Masters and Sith at the same time. He has fought and killed plenty of Jedi Knights and has even bested Anakin at certain points also worth noting that Strength doesn't have much to do with this battle considering even after being knocked across his ship's bridge twice by Savage Oppress he was still able to escape and then straight after that fight which was Ventress and Savage against him. He was able to fight Ventress and best her all without tiring from the battle. "1) Windu was the first of the entire Jedi masterminds to realize Palapatine had turne don them and immediatley sought to act on it and if it hadn' tbeen for Anakin's betrayal he would have succeede din doing so." - Con This is false and true while Mace suspected something was wrong because Palpatine didn't return his emergency powers it was Anakin that found out Palpatine was a Sith Lord and as we can see in the movie Mace is surprised by this knowledge. "In Clone Wars because he knows Dooku to have a strong preference for drawing out fights and never finishign his enemy off as he's too kind hearted to so do." - Con This is so incorrect Dooku has killed plenty of Jedi and has soon no mercy this is evident when he goes to end Ventress's life and in the Son of Dathomir when he plunges his saber through you can read that issue here and keep in min that Comic is canon. http://www.readcomics.tv... Also worth noting is that Dooku is also good at psycho-analysis this is evident due to the fact he was able to train Grievous in every type of Saber Combat. "Palapatine he knew he simpyl ha to provoke him to electocute innto his lighsaber (which actually helped power it if anything) and was about to win the fight had Anakin not surprise attacked him." If you read the novelization of Revenge Of The Sith you will see that Palpatine had the ability to kill all the Jedi masters in that very room due to his speed however he wanted to test Mace's Vaapad and see how strong Mace truly was so Palpatine held back and used his anger to strengthen Mace's Vaapad. In a fight with Dooku as I stated in my first argument Vaapad fails as Dooku never shows any true rage or anger when dueling and as for that last part surprised attacked him this is true but i believe this is why Mace loses it is because he is simply to wild with his attacks I believe Mace will leave himself open to a full fledged attack giving Dooku the chance to thrust his saber through Mace's chest. "Windu is a healthy 30-or-so year old black male (age not stated but judged by his looks). It's possible he's much older, around Yoda's age, but has used the force to hinder aging." Mace is not much older as simply hindering aging by the force is never truly a Lightside ability and has not been figured out yet which is evident by Darth Plaguesis who tried to become Immortal and Palpatine who in the books tried to finish what Plaguesis started as they both wanted to implement the Rule Of One rather than the Rule Of Two. As I have stated Dooku is more experienced and just as fast thanks to the force he was able to hold off Anakin multiple times even though Anakin was during power from his rage which only increased his strength. Dooku also uses the force in a much better way than Mace who uses it for straight forward attacks, Dooku often uses the force to throw off his opponent in the Son Of Dathomir Dooku was able to withstand Mother Talzin's lightning eventually getting help from Sidious himself and it is stated that Mother Talzin is just as strong as Sidious hence why Sidious and Dooku viewed her as a threat. Dooku's dueling style Makashi is fully mastered by Dooku and as you can see Dooku is able to block assaults from Anakin with one hand even when Anakin is on top of him using his rage. He can also easily dodge lightsaber attacks without even needing to block once again evident by that video source. While Mace may be younger and stronger Dooku is simply more experience and smarter he would either try to throw Mace off with a force attack or simply wait for Mace to make a foolish mistake. While Mace is powerful he is just not as smart, experienced or talented as Dooku is, Dooku has shown us time and time again that despite being hold he can easily keep going and battle through it. Thank you Con for your points I will now await your rebuttal. Sources: http://www.readcomics.tv... http://starwars.wikia.com... http://starwars.wikia.com... http://starwars.wikia.com...
