I like the idea that Grievous cybernetically downloaded all the lightsaber forms yet mainly relies on just spinning
Knowing that across all 7 forms, there’s f*ck all about what to do against it.. I don’t blame him
in the og clone wars dooku tells grievous that because he does not have force sensitivity that he is at a disadvantage against jedi but if they fear him , get intimidated by him he will win
It’s a good trick
Grievous: I’ll try spinning, that’s a good trick
"seemingly"
Dooku was terrified of Grevious, because Grevious was trained in his Jedi Arts By Count Dooku!
LOL
AHAHAHAHA
You fooool
Grevious was trained by dooku but all he does is use four arms and recklessly swung his lightsabers even striking the floor more than Kenobi. This must mean that dooku can also just do as he taught and pull out four arms and sabers to swing like a helicopter
@@randomguy5312 damn right he can
It's so sad that Clone Wars series portrayed Grievous such a way they did, instead of him being this brutal killing machine who'd be absolute nightmare to duel with, what he was meant to be originally.
I love how even with all of this Obi-wan was a perfect counter to Grievous, as he tries to overwhelm while Obi-wan specializes in being overwhelm
Mind you...Kenobi got beaten up pretty bad in that fight
@@johnnyscifi yeah but there are hardly any one sided fights in star wars (Dooku against Obi-wan is pretty one sided but that because he perfectly counters Obi-wan)
@@SuperDababy2 Absolutely!
Ah, the fantasy of Grievous actually being formidable, I feelike the clone wars, for all its merrits, did both Dooku and Grievous a disservice in certain episodes, such as when Grievous loses to Gungans, when Dooku gets caught by random pirates, when Grievous loses a 1v1 against Ventress, or when Dooku gets put om the back foot by Anakin for some reason. The show was a masterpiece at times, but with having reoccuring villains, they did do them a little dirty from time to time. Grievous was an instrament of death, he shouldn't lose most of the fights he gets into, especually against a sith assassin who in the same arc couldn't even take a blinded Dooku in a 3v1.
When you actually think about it, TCW didn't really have formidable villains.
@@bouncin2207 I suppose, they did make a lot of them seem weak sometimes, Maul was kind of the exeption, although he did lose most one-on-one fights, since he's on the weaker side for sith in general.
It was always crazy to me that Dooku was the only one to completely own Kenobi. Shows how powerful he really was
Maul almost had him if it wasn't for Maul's showboating.
@@ScentitarFragrance I mean he did defeat Vader twice, Maul, and Grievous...
Dooku was his master's master so it would make sense
Yes, I would say Power played a role, but it was more so Skill and Experience.
@@eljefe3864 Yep!
I see Dooku was late to the Halloween party with his Mysterio costume.
I like how General Gievous downloads every form of lightsaber technique straight into his brain and is even trained by a... THE master duelist, only to be taking down by Obi Wan going full on clumsy-rando, shootie Mctootie. Going so far as to validate Han's comment on ancient weapons versus a good blaster at one's side, even before he said it.
Its kind of cool to see even the dark side had restraints on even allies to ensure that a genocide or and absolutely unstoppable force could not take power over the galaxy. Its almost like, “The enemy of my enemy is a friends” but really like, “My most powerful foe is my closest ally”.
Dooku wasn't afraid of Grievous...just wary of him because he taught him everything that he knew!
Then he was a bad teacher. The best teachers always hold something back.
@@eddiesid1149 He did, because he was worried of Grievous' potential.
Yeah, I think this guy likes to overstate things in his video titles.
It's interesting that Obi Wan doesn't get more credit as a duelist. He actually was able to make adjustments necessary to beat all of his foes when it counted. His loss to Vader in their last match only came because he serendered himself to the force in order to used what Qui Gon taught him in order to play a better role in the training of Luke among other things. Obi Wan was a very bad dude, and his strength was in his work ethic, because he wasn't even the most talented of Jedi in the force, which is a lesson that hard work can overcome talent.
Serendered?
people's problem with obi wan is that he relied on form 3, no one doubts his skill but it does affect his "cool" factor
@@guerradan Yep, he allow Vader to win. That fight in Obi-Wan made that clear. Anakin (Vader) could never beat Obi-Wan.
@@frankwilliams3036
It was badass of Obi-Wan to overpower Anakin without a lightsaber.
Obi-Wan wasn't a bad dude, quite the opposite in fact.
Grevious could catch anyone slippin if they didn’t bring their A game
fell in a lightsaber duel? he blasted him
I rank swordsmen like I rank cliff divers. There are only two ranks..."grand champion"...and "stuff on a rock"
Sidious was also afraid of Grievous thinking that if Grievous was highly force sensitive he would possibly overthrown Dooku and himself.
Of course Dooku held back the secret technique of High Ground in fear of Grievous becoming too powerful. That alone might have saved Obi-wan’s life in their duel.
You know I always disliked how they over complicated Obi-Wan being capable of taking Grievous. I preferred the idea that Dooku's teachings were ignored. He did not have fear, surprise, or intimidation on his side, and in fact, Kenobi had at least one of those on his. Despite the first clone wars series no longer being canon, those teachings are still very much valid even being included at least partly as an interaction dialogue between Dooku and Grievous in Battlefront II.
Obi Wan "The force made me pick up the blaster"
Dooku is awesome ❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️
Great content! That's very interesting and I can understand Dooku's thought process on the matter. I'm not sure if I heard right in the video but was it said that dooku defeated Yoda in their sparing sessions?
Dooku Nuts : small cashews
Dooku was allways a majestic figure in my field of view. I just finished Tales of the Jedi, and I was shocked how accurate Dave Filoni presented him.
Spoilers
When he duelled Yaddle, I was worried over a little plot armor favoring the old Jedi, but to my suprise the whole situation were as grim as I would like to see. Dooku's style, his power, his might, the way he is illustrated in the mini-show is so nice to see. He controlled the duel, and were allways ahead of Yaddle, I did pity her so much during the time. I'm definetly happy about the outcome, and it proved to me that yes. Dooku WAS the best Lightsaber duelist, in the Jedi order, before Anakin reached his peak.
Darth tennebrous would be proud 😂
ive got two major points of critic here: 1.) there is no such thing as luck in the star wars universe (at least regarding to ben kenobis experience ;-) ) 2.) with no outer un-/lucky factors there is no such thing as a un/-lucky day for grievous per se; in fact every follow up day is grievous best day regarding his abilities because his cybernetics ensure theres always a positive build up/learning
ps.: makes it somewhat funny that his cybernetic minds final best conclusion is just "take four sabers and spin them around"
He got overwhelmed by a bunch of Gungans. Anything can happen on any given day.
Grievous partial cybernetic brain held all 7 forms of light saber combat....How much more powerful (dangerous)would a force user with just a partial cybernetic mind with all 7 forms of light saber combat be ?
Depends on who, since Grievous without cybernetics is already as competent as an average force user.
And you also have the problem of disconnecting yourself from the force the more cybernetics you add.
Thanks
I would have liked to see dooku against darth kassin,, blade master and instructor of darth bane. And the blade master of the jedi during the darth bane Era.
That was super interesting. We need Star Wars Dark Side and see the whole story from the perspective of Siths.
nobody can overcome the power of the phrase, "Hello there."
Are we forgetting that all Dooku had to do was hit Grievous with Force lightning and his circuits would be fried?
This statement that being that Yoda, Mace windu, and Darth Vader(which one?, his first yr. 10 yrs or in return of the Jedi Vader, or is it Ataru/ Djem so Anakin/Vader) being real contenders for skill with the blade, yet not the strategy of countering the form.
Often I hear Yoda defeats Dooku in sparring and Dooku defeats Yoda between them.
The fact that Obie Wan could let the force guide his mind and body in a duel is some Bruce Leroy Golden Glow type fighting. That's mastery
It also makes Obi-Wan going for the blaster make more sense, as Jedi are supposed to abhor blasters, and Obi-Wan even comments as such, "So uncivilized," as he tosses the blaster away. Not to mention how accurate Obi-Wan was in those shots despite being untrained with a blaster. Without the Jedi code to hold him back, just the will of the Force taking things through his hands, the Force was able to take up a blaster and shoot down Grievous when all else had failed.
0:15 Dont you forget Darth Sidious who defeated three jedi garn masters in a matter of seconds?
Dooku was terrified that Grievous would take his lightsaber.
Dooku and Grievous can't duel on even ground...Dooku is an ex-BattleMaster so no Grievous would have no chance in hell at beating Dooku on his worst day.
Nice
I think Mace falls into the "can get lucky, wins 3/10"category as well, with Yoda and Sideous beating dooku 9/10 times
Interesting that both Master Windu and Count Dooku had strong fears about General Grievous (different reasons but still iconic).
Every concept of a higher power works best when faith lays in that power and not in one's self.
It's what I thought or close to it. Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus was getting older. General Grievous was the antithesis of everything about Dooku outside of Fighting I.Q.: his Fighting Style, Psychology, Goals, Objectives, and desires. Dooku was that keenly seasoned Master who had prefected his Skills. Grievous was that very experienced Young Man who was extremely Dangerous. This is the Old Lion vs. the Young one. This is a more advanced version of Obi-Wan vs. Anakin/Vader in their 1st duel.
I've always wondered...... since he can hold 4 lightsabers 1 in each hand can he do 4 different styles at one time.....?
Interesting question. I would imagine yes. That is, if the 4 forms in question weren't contradicting each other.
Another interesting holocron
He was scared because he knew what he did to grievous and if grievous found out all hell would break loose
Duku had the force. You dont duel grievous.
You crush him or electrocute him push pull maybe even mind trick him. But never duel him. His lack of connection to the force is his ultimate weakness.
Grievous VS Darth Wader
Lmaoooo
@@PaleoTheExaminer Why, wader are a youser of a hyperdiced form as veal yousin his suts abiletys and other forms to bring them byond there limits i komination and elevaits them all. That vs grievous copjuter brain = ??
Yep wading through sand warrants its own Sith title.
The title makes it sound like dooku is alive and a real person💀
Wow
What about sin dralig v dooku thoughts
Its possible Dooku hesitates to open himself fully to the Force, as Obi-Wan did. The Dark Side may not be so generous...
Count Dooku is one of the most saddest character
General Grievous was the Frankenstein monster of the Star wars universe
Even Mace Windu was afraid of General Grievous because of how quickly General Grievous adapted to Vaapad worrying if the duel continued General Grievous would easily overpower him.
The fact that Grievous was able to copy a lightsaber style that relied on a Force connection definitely proves how dangerous and how skilled he was. There is nothing more terrifying than a mimic who can perform the same technique without any of the knowledge behind it.
Obi wan gave himself over to the force and finally ended the duel by picking up a blaster and shooting him LOLOL. I mean, I know it's fantasy but does anyone even edit this stuff anymore? He didn't defeat Grievous using the force at all! He fell back on desperation and got lucky lol.
Good point.
Did Grevious every knew Court was a jedi...🤔 I think he did or was that information he kept from Grievous and told him "oh I study some Jedi ways"..
Didn't Grevious know all lightsaber forms? Dude was an absolute unit.
Did u watch the video
Grievous had had to be somewhat force sensitive to function as he was...
What's the source of Dooku being the greatest duelist of his era?
I think dooku spared Anikin and kenobi
He did. Multiple times. He chose not kill Anakin on Tataooine, Naboo twice, and on the Slaver's Planet. Dooku spared Obi-Wan on Oba Dia when he had an absolute clean shot at his chest when he grabbed his sword arm. But he kneed him in the gut and threw him instead. And in ROTS he could have easily stabbed Obi-Wan in the chest instead of throw him across the room.
So Obi-Wan had a moment of "oneness" with the force???
I think Dooku lowballs himself because that's what smart people do. He might think that Grievous could potentially beat him but I think he meant purely in a sparing session. Dooku has too much for Grievous to handle like force lightning and crush to go with his saber abilities.
Just pick him up in the air ? Wtf in a situation where it’s not a video game boss any good Jedi should be able to force anything this guy because he can’t use the force. If he shoots something out his body to defend that idk because he can do this anyways. Still anakin beats dooku, dooku can beat greaves , obi wan beats Greaves and then can beat anakin so if obi wan can beat the skywalker then be default he beats everyone he can beat…………..😅
Yeah that whole thing with obiwan is not how fights work. People age. Different strengths and weaknesses. Just bcauses you can counter y person who countered x person, doesn't mean you can counter x person yourself.
As for useing the force on grievous. He has clawed feet which he can use to grip the ground, assuming the jedi he is facing has the concentration to be able to pull it off.
Well Vader beats obi wan later so wether or not you think obi wan may have won but Luke would have died from a laser blast so that would have been like losing idk… the force on grievous though in the cartoon clone wars movie and yes the same one where mace windu is punching holes in droids but he crushes grievous with the force a little and I think that stops him I haven’t watched that in a while
I wouldn't say he was "Terrified", but he was wary of Grievous.
"Yoda, Mace Windu, Darth Vader"
When talking about the best lightsaber duelists in *all* of Star Wars lore, you really left off Exar Kun, Grandmaster Luke, the Emperor's Wrath, the Hero of Tython, Tulak Hord, Kas'im, and Jaina?
Yes,exactly.
It actually doesn't make sense, IMHO. At the end of the day, it's combat. Combat never, ever goes according to what's on paper. It's volatile. And that's why it's contradictory that an experienced fighter like Dooku would assume his chances against such an alien opponent would realistically be 8 out of 10. Since experience should tell him that at best he has a 6 out of 10 chance (just like Yoda or Mace or some other Jedi masters would).
And that's not only about "out of 10" in mathematical comparison to "out of 100" or "out of 1000". Like in: Any Clone trooper has a chance to kill Yoda. So, logically, "out of 10" there is a 1 in 10 chance to kill Yoda. ... The thing is: When it's down to live or die, that's definite and that influences the outcome. It's just not the roll of a dice.
I would have to say that when it came down to the final Display of Power that Grievous could potentially but have a very good fight and potentially overcome Darth tyrannus in the end he would still be able to utilize Force Lightening
I don't think it would get to that point. Grievous had issues against many lesser swordsman and Dooku didn't teach Grievous everything. "A wise master does not reveal all his secrets at once."
...NNNNNNOOOOOOO
I love all the grevious lore where's he's so intimidating
The movies and shows just didn't do it justice
Obi wan won because windu crushed grievous chest cavity and severely weakened him. At full strength Obi wan had no chance 1v1 against grievous
This is why my star wars character would be an alien creature that can live a very long time and I would be decently strong in the force but with my extremely long lifespan I would become a master of all 7 forms and even the forbidden 8th form that neither jedi nor sith practice but I would be a tall gentle gaint like creature and enjoy teaching the next generation and helping a mandalorian clan that had became friends and almost family to me and believed that they had a right to exist even though many years before I was sent to go find the rumors of a supposed clan forming and killing them I would chose not to and instead be trained like a mandalorian and have my own personalized armor as a gift from the leader of this clan that was almost like a brother to me even though I was greatly be older then him and would get their help with getting the chips out of my clone legion and helping me save many jedi and gathering many of my holocrons and fleeing far out into the unknown of the outer rim to build a new temple where jedi and mandalorians are trained together as a family but that's just what I would be I would also use my skills of all 8 forms to protect my friends and allies
Sounds like a Mando commercial.
Why didn't anyone go, "Use the force." on Grievous? If a couple, a few, several Jedi used the Force to prevent him from moving they could have arrested him.
Or instead of that just pick him up slam him into the ground until he's gentle and not so froggy...
I'd just force push him then stab him lol
This claiming Dooku beat Yoda in duels sounds like legends as Canon lore says only Plo koon was ever able to beat Yoda in a duel.
I mean it’s reasonable to think that Grevious could possibly win given certain circumstances, the dude was an accomplished warrior turned into a nightmare killing machine so…
Yes just ask mace windu
... and dooku had force lightning ...
But Obi-Wan killed Grievous with a blaster.
Mace beat Grievous so did Kit Fisto
In my experience there's no such thing luck
Grievous won the lightsabre duel with obiwan but lost his life to a blaster bolt
Obi bested in the duel ,but defeat him by shutting him
"Shooting".Spellcheck please.
More of like time to abandon ship 😅
I could defeat the count?
I always knew i could but i still need his teaching to destroy all jedi and i respect dooku. Btw The only reason i lost to kenobi was because i didnt escape what a fool i was now look what happen to my multiverse self my grieverse if you will
Until we meet again always love whatching vids about me
LFG
Was Dooku better then Sidious?
Don't get me wrong, but I think Obi Wan Kenobi won through blaster fire
Sidious wasn't in your list
And yet Ventress beat Grevious easily, and Dooku beat her easily so…
Grevious was fodder and we all know it, he couldn't handle proper Jedi Masters 1v1
Obi wan is the 🐐
1:40 dooku still found it highly necessary to train with dooku
Dunno if agree with that opening statement. Seeing is he's hardly the best in his Era. Dooku probably would lose ALOT more often then win against quite a few ALSO legendary adversaries. If he was one of the best EVER. without being trained by someone like Yoda or Mace or similar or BETTER then Dooku in heavy saber combat then someone like Anakin just woulda NEVER OR STRUGGLED to catch up to him instead of regularly an progressively building in power like he did in something similar to an escalator or rising elevator an less a hilly road with road blocks that we'd expect if he was THAT good.
An Grevious... Shoulda headed Dooku's warning concerning other greats like Yoda an Mace.. seeing as Mace basically turned him into a giant sentient soda can that he then proceeded to LITERALLY Force Crush an almost made the "soda" come spilling out the nearest openings.. which shoulda been a reality check to Grevious not to get cocky. Especially if YOU'RE trained by one of the best EVER and get that sorta warning vs specific people. A mistake he made yet again with Kenobi which I guess is basically his arch rival in a way.. allowing for the Jedi to end him once an for all
An how MUCH must the Force itself wanted to see Grevious done once an for all to direct sure shot ole Ben to aim an "uncivilized" blaster at the giant Death Cola machine an use him for target practice???
Two things: It wasn't a progression. Anakin was out-dueled in swordsmanship by Dooku nearly every time they fought during the Clone Wars, including an humiliating bout a few months prior on Oba Dia. Secondly, It took Anakin leveling up to Chosen One to defeat him, and it happened so fast, under such odd conditions, that it can hardly be classified as a pure test of swordsmanship. Let's be clear, Anakin wasn't just some dude, he was the Chosen One. He was always going to surpass Dooku in Force power to the point that swordsmanship became secondary.
Also, I think the presumption that some of the greats prior to the Rule of Two were by rule better is dubious. Do we really have a basis for comparison? Just because the Jedi were less able duelists does not mean that Dooku was less able than legendary adversaries. It is entirely possible, that Dooku is the best practitioner of Form II ever, simply because he was the culmination of refinements to the form that were not available to others. Indeed, he amply demonstrated that he was so skilled that he rather easily overcame the traditional deficiencies of the form. Ultimately, Dooku I think it is clear that he was the finest pure swordsman of the era. So much so that he could duel Yoda, who is demonstrably more powerful in the Force on even terms, simply thanks to his skill with the blade. He also earned an easy draw against Mace Windu on Ridley, the man who defeated the greatest Sith who is, allegedly super amazing good and master of all Seven Forms, etc, which I actually don't believe.
Also, you are 100% right about the advice to Grievous! As amply demonstrated!
It’s funny how dooku could beat obi wan easily but obi wan could beat grievous
Early on in the war Dooku would have been able to beat Grievous if it was necessary to do so. Later in the war Grievous would have destroyed Dooku no doubt about it.
I think obi wan surpress windu in his exile he did beat him once and did made fool out Vader more then once
E
OK your keyboard/keypad has 4 letters
WAAAA-WA-WA-WA-WAIT!!!! In all of Star Wars LORE????? Dooku probably doesn’t even rate in the top 30 or 40 of all Star Wars LORE!!!!!! I begrudgingly accept that he’s #7 of JUST his lifetime, up until Return of the Jedi(arguably #8)! We know palpatine is better, we know Anakin is better, we know Windu is better, and despite the weird indecisiveness we’re given, we can be sure yoda is better, and as far as at their own respective heights, we can also be sure that much later Obi wan also DEFINITELY becomes better(Vader is definitely better, but that’s arguable whether u would count that as a seperate number than Anakin), and we also know that Ashoka DEFINITELY became better!
*anyone who could go toe to toe, and beat, or even indefinitely hold their own against vader, would be able to beat dooku(Anakin ended up completely wiping the floor with Dooku, in the later part of their last battle), and Ashoka only lost to vader cause her heart was definitely not into it, and also he was only about to beat her because she stopped fighting him in order to break thru the floor, otherwise she would have at LEAST kept up with him for an indefinite amount of time, and she was winning before that, as she had definitely damaged him, while he still hadn’t hurt her at all, she was just a little tired, but no more than him.
I’m not even gonna COUNT all the quite a few people(luke, Leia, and at LEAST 4 or 5 others)that were better than him AFTER the empire fell!
That’s like 15 people from just the relatively short period of time from his lifetime until the end of Star Wars lore. If anyone thinks that there aren’t at least 15-25 people including ancient Sith Lords, the ancient sith order, and ancient jedi order, then thats even crazier than considering Disney Star Wars as being true canon!
You can automatically add every major named Sith Lord as being better than him, too! I’m just quickly guessing that’s probably at least around 10 more people!
I totally forgot-Darth Plagus too! The only reason Palpatine was able to beat him was cause he poisoned&crippled him before they battled.
You boys hit the gym today?
If dooku became force sensitive some how hed be unstoppable
Nah. Dooku was never afraid of Grievous. Not in the least. Dooku wouldn't even need a blade to kill Grievous. Hell, even OG Grievous in 2003 Clone Wars was no match for the Count. And as well as he taught him, Dooku didn't teach him everything, clearly. As Dooku said: "A wise master does not reveal all his secrets at once."
Look I don't mean to over simplify a complex topic but he was literally cyborg built to fight. Of course intuition and skill are important but against Grievous it would be like fighting 4 masters at once working in perfect harmony. The shield of spinning, and the other two arms able, paired with a prefect robotic mind I just don't see how anyone could reasonably overcome that.. I mean if perfect force focus can't defend against a slightly more skilled sith, then what hope would there be against a tuned in trained mechanical monster like this. Ever play chess against the weak AI on your PC. Yeah, imagine that X1000. This is a universe of AI is common place, you think with 4 blades it cannot intercept and counter one? There are literally robots, right now in our crummy world that can move and use swords faster and more accurately than than best swordsmen. Give them four and about 100 years of tech development they can just roll over anyone? I know its a movie about space wizards and I don't want to over think it but yo, computers > human brains, especially when beating them 4 to 1 in armaments.
The force is stronger than any a.i.
