Darth Sidious was more renowned for his mastery of the dark side of the Force, but when he finally showed his skills with a lightsaber, he could easily vanquish most opponents. Part of this was thanks to his use of the rare and dangerous Form VII, Shii-Cho. This form channeled the user's rage and passion to tap into devastating strikes and unique movements. Yoda and Mace Windu were the only Jedi who could really challenge Sidious in a fight.

Mace Windu was a prodigy, but what made him especially powerful with a lightsaber was the special form he invented. Vaapad was a variation of Form VII that used an opponent's anger against them. When Using Vaapad, Mace Windu could tap into his darker tendencies without being overwhelmed by them like a user of Shii-Cho would have been. Thanks to this, Mace Windu may have been the only Jedi Master on the council who could beat Sidious one-on-one.

Sidious' preferred variation of Form VII would overwhelm any Jedi who tried to use it, pulling them to the dark side. If you embrace the dark side, Form VII may be for you, but if not, you would need to have willpower like Mace Windu's to stay true to yourself.
