There are two fights that people have used to lowball Mace Windu all the way down to Ventress level, and it's time to change that. Most of the content in this thread will be Legends material and will include spoilers for many Star Wars Comics, Novels, and other forms of media.
People have tried using this quote to lowball Mace Windu all the way down to Sub-Ventress, while ignoring the actual fights themselves.
"Mace Windu had to use all his skills to defeat the dark side fighter Asajj Ventress."
- Star Wars Fact File 108
From what we know they have fought twice in Star Wars lore.
First Fight:
Let's analyze the fight here:
First scan: They clash blades once.
Second Scan: Mace states that they aren't equals, to which Ventress agrees.
Third Scan: Ventress runs away.
This isn't exactly what I would call "using all your skills to beat someone".
Second Fight:
Let's Analyze This Fight:
First Scan: They engage in a duel as normal with one fighter charging the other.
Second Scan: They clash blades once, and Ventress admits that she's channeling her rage into something useful, which can be interpreted many ways.
Third Scan: They continue clashing, but the deck shifts, which separates the two.
Fourth/Fifth Scan: Ventress runs away.
Again, this doesn't exactly look like "using all your skills to beat someone."
Final Verdict
Neither of Mace's duels show him genuinely struggling to beat Ventress or that Ventress has parity with him.
