@kilius:
Season 5 Savage has a good chance
How does he have a good chance against an opponent who is considerably superior to him in every aspect except strength and endurance/stamina?
Savage probably isn’t going to fling him every time they connect blades
That seems like a huge outlier so he definitely won't be able to. Dooku had absolutely no problem connecting blades with Savage in an earlier sparring session and base Savage has never sent other opponents such as Adi Gallia flying with his hits. Yes, those iterations of Savage were pre-prime, but his physical strength should've remained more or less the same .
but the idea Dooku has trouble going blade to blade isn’t far fetched
That idea is feasible, but Dooku's strength is vastly underrated. Going by the ROTS movie, he held his own against Anakin Skywalker in a bladelock, and only lost that bladelock due to Anakin becoming rage-amped. He could also hold his own against the force-enhanced strikes of Yoda (a being capable of matching Darth Sidious in strength) despite being somewhat tired. Even if Dooku does have trouble meeting Savage's strength head-on, he could easily dodge the latter's attacks and disable him through far superior skill and surgical precision
Anakin and Kenobi also had difficulty going toe to toe, the latter disarmed after a short fight,
That was when Savage was rage-amped, making the fight very circumstantial. Thus that feat is not quantifiable in a fight where Savage is presumably not rage-amped.
people bringing up Ventress forget Savage sent her flying too and when she blocked his leaping strike in the tanker she was planted in a crouch, not squared up like Dooku.
Savage being stronger than Ventress is irrelevant since Dooku is also stronger than Ventress, as evidenced when he repeatedly overpowered her in bladelocks despite using one hand and being distracted by Savage.
