RE: Could Anakin have beaten Mace

So... with this revised duel, if Sidious threw the fight, it places an awful lot of faith on Anakin's timing ...and he suffered a kicked-in face to boot. For what it's worth to those arguing, I doubt there's anyone who thinks Palpatine's serious when he claims he's too weak. That's obviously a lie. But was the fall into the corner that preceded his pleas for help a lie as well?
That proves my point. As I said earlier, Mace DID get Palps on his back. I give him that. But as stated above, him claiming he's too weak is an obvious lie. IF Anakin hadn't of showed up, then Sids wouldn't have pretended to be weak. He just would have been really angry that Mace got him on his back and he would've blasted him with Force Lightning anyway.

Well I beat him in teh video game isn't that enough for you?
In my oppinion Dooku and Mace were relatively on the same level, Mace was probably a bit stronger.
Personally it could go either way, there are lots of upsets in duels and it isn't necessarily how 'powerful' you are.
Highly figurative.

1. It has alot to do with things. How Mace fared against Jango had alot to do with whether he has what it takes to beat Anakin. And the football thing was what zam said about Sidous just blasting Mace with a burst of lightning. How it would take more energy to knock down Mac, since he is bigger and harder to knock down.
2. Yeah, sidious was pretending to be weak. But even if he wasnt pretending, and he blasted Mace, Mace would have blocked it like he did later on. It would be difficult, but Palpatine is getting fried as he is blocking it, so it would take it's toll on him while Mace just toughs it out.

Jango has nothing to do at all with how Anakin would fare with Mace, and i would put Mace too at the same level with Dooku, but say Dooku is a better swordsman.

If Anakin would fight Mace like he did Dooku, Anakin would have won. If Anakin would fight Mace like he did Obi-Wan, he would have lost. Anakin is inconsistent.
By the way, I consider Mace and Dooku to be about equals. Mace might be a tad stronger, but Dooku uses the Dark Side, which gives him more offense, and he has more experience/comes off smarter and more cunning than Mace.

Anakin won dooku because he was consumed by anger and hatred making him a powerful force to be reckon with and it was too much for even a experienced sith lord such as dooku.Mace and dooku skill level is about the same as one was trained highly in the good side and the other at the dark side.But if anakin would have go on headstrong against a mace in top form,it is anyone guess that he may beat him as mace was defeated and have his hand cut off as he was caught off guard by anakin actions when he asked anakin to stay away as he wanted to finished off darth sidious by himself.

I don't think Anakin was strong eneough to fight Mace, Mace is more experianced.
If he was not injured he could have been the strongest.

it wasnt a want to kill him himself. He just wanted him dead. It's not like he wanted the trophy or anything.
and the only way anakin would come close to beating mace is if he went all out and tried to overwhelm him with alot of blows very fast. If he fought Mace like he did Dooku, he would lose. The style he used against Dooku was more smooth and connected. But if he used that samne way against Mace, Mace would eat him alive, since Mace fights quick and strategical with no wasted motions. If he is gonna beat Mace, it would have to be within the first thirty seconds of the fight, no goofing around testing his weaknesses or something.

smooth, he completly overwhelmed him, when they locked up in front of the chancellor he threw him back like he was nothing, he could do the same to Mace. Mace overpowered DS, he did not pull some move on him like Anakin did to Dooku with the hands, Anakin was taught by the best jedi, and could have beat mace any way, but he would have just overwhelmed him with power.

You have to remember that Count Dooku was old, He would have got tired eventally, And beating Count Dooku does not mean your all powerful, Count Dooku was the only one Anakin ever beat.
Mace would beat Anakin due to experience .
Anakin is only 22 years old, While the other masters are in their 30's and 40's, They are more experianced.
experianced > power
experianced is better then power.
Obi-wan and Anakin were clearly equel on screen, Anakin was more powerful and Obi-wan was more experianced.
that proves experiance is better.

not in his case its not. He killed many jedi masters, who had more experience than him in ROTS, Cin, SHaak Ti. and age is not everything, he and Kenobi are the ones who have been fighting the war while Mace and Yoda sit in the council.

yeah it was deleted then in reshoots they shot Anakin killing her, its in the making of book, and then they deleted that, but its not like that has any impact on Anakin beating Mace, i don't think anybody would think jedi master Shaak Ti could take out Darth Vader. it says on the databank she was there when he was killing everybody.
