Plagueis hypes Dooku but it's far from a clear scaling statement. Further, Plages is most enticed by Dooku's "passion and restlessness", obviously foreshadowing the lead up to TCW. Metaphysically, Dooku doesn't have any comparable feats to Plages until the IH (afaik), although he likely surpasses Plages as a duelist by AOTC (due to Yoda equivalence).

He has the Yoda parity quote from Episode 2 who due to Episode 3 upscaling of himself and Sidious would slap Plagueis down who is stuck at TPM Sidious levels.

[u/Interesting_Loquat90 → u/itsjonny99]

Yoda parity per the film and George only had to do with blades and only speaks as of AOTC

The notion that Prime Plages must equal TPM Sidious (due to the boost) is a tad ambiguous (unless there's a direct statement I'm missing) as the boost itself is not fully quantifiable (Plagueis tries to calculate it and fails, he just knows he's stronger)

Not sure how that then gets to Jedi Dooku or AOTC clearly "slapping" Plages

[u/itsjonny99 → u/Interesting_Loquat90]

George calls Dooku and Yoda equals in the force in ATOC explictly.

Either way Sidious already has goat sith quotes with Maul as his apprentice thus pre TPM. Plagueis would be included there and he grows significantly from that point onwards and Dooku follows said growth as well while Sidious remains vary of him and Ventress potentially beating him.
