Count Dooku tips?

[HerrDave]

Right then, I've got this game on GoG (where it has been optomized, no crashes so far after 19 days, audio stutter if I switch weapons/throw grenade really fast)

AND I am wondering about two things...

1) Does Count Dooku hit harder than other heroes? He seems to do so, as his attacks are slower.

2) I've been finding it hard to land some hits / keep up with other heroes, what am I doing wrong? (bracing myself for the 'git gud, skrublet' line)

3) Extra credit: Do you have any tips on playing him?

He doesn't really hit harder. If he does, it's not much more than other heroes. He is easy to counter because while he is doing his combo it is possible to get out of it. He is kinda of difficult to use just like the emperor. For tips, all I can say to to choke, air attack, and try to only hit people with the end of his combo. You could also do the choke lightning, but it's usually frowned upon by other people.

Well thats a shame it is, guv! T'count can't hit a third o' the people that vader can then!

Reason I ask is that I am continually force-pushed/pulled/stunned and if it happens even once, I either have a 1/6 chance of jumping out of there, or I get combo'd by luke/aayla secura & melt.

As for choke-shocking, I just play with friends, so harnessing every 'be a gnob' tool is my plan.

Thank ye kindly good sir!

Ye Olde Gentleman Jedi kind of bothers me, Dooku that is.

As you say, he seems rather slow and unwieldly in lightsaber combat and his force powers feel... Or at least look underwhelming. Usually because I find myself shot to bits by clones while trying to lightning the bunch of them.

I've found his sprint attack to be quite powerful though. It is a shame because Dooku just feels like Sidious but still bound by gravity. I think Dooku should have had the force lightning AOE slam and Sidious should not have.

Back on topic anyways.

Sprint attacks, air attacks, choke-lightning (Right ♥♥♥♥ move that is) Anything that isn't his standard lightsaber swinging.
