You're referring to when Darth Talon fought against Wolf Sazen, and Shado Vao while in perfect condition.
Neither of the aforementioned Jedi were ever noted as skilled swordsman, so the feat itself is lessened. In fact, Wolf Sazen gets his ass kicked very easily by Darth Nihl on almost every occasion.
Now, Darth Maul had gone into battle against the likes of Qui-Gon Jinn, someone who we know was talented with a blade, and Obi-Wan, who was seemingly a promising padawan. He dominated the entire fight, then killed Qui-Gon Jinn is thirty seconds flat. Let's take excerpts from The Phantom Menace novelization itself, found in chapters 22 and 23:
"Their efforts at attack, at assuming the offensive against this dangerous adversary, were woefully inadequate.
But on this day, he had met his match. The Sith Lord he battled with Obi - Wan was more than his equal in weapons training, and he had the advantage of being younger and stronger.
His agility and dexterity allowed him to keep them both at bay, constantly attacking while at the same time effectively blunting their counterattacks, relentlessly searching for an opening in their defense.
So they challenged the Sith Lord quickly, and just as quickly discovered that their best efforts were not good enough
They should have won this battle long ago. Against any other opponent, they would have. But the Sith Lord was battle trained and seasoned well beyond anyone they had ever encountered before. He had matched them blow for blow, and they weren't any closer to winning this fight now than they had been in the beginning.".
It's evident from the above that Darth Maul could've taken both of them, and that they were lacking in comparison to his sheer skill and determination. So, your point collapses.
This is aside from the fact Darth Maul had been injured before the bout even began. We see him kick the living shit out of the duo with melee attacks. The only reason he actually lost was because he was caught off guard by Obi-Wan's sudden burst of power by giving into the dark side, but even then it states that " was the stronger of the two".
Other than this, Darth Maul has taken down Anoon Bondara, the then Battlemaster of the Jedi Order, who's lightsaber skills are described as "second to none", and as a whole, "one of the best fighters". Talon has never fought anyone on this caliber, or shown that she could even contend. Maul is also "one of the deadliest Sith apprentices in history", Darth Talon is outclassed in a weapons confrontation, point blank.
Irrelevant.
Simply because she was using a single blade doesn't mean anything. We've seen those with a double blade surpass those using only one blade, and vice versa -- even when it comes to two on one. It's completely idiotic to even bring this up.
That's complete and utter bullshit.
There's absolutely nothing to indicate such a thing, don't be so dense.
Read the comic, it won't show you anything that I haven't included in this thread already. Save for the fact she was tossed some fifty yards by Cade Skywalker, who had been an out of practice Jedi for seven years, with only ten years of training to begin with (at most), and had been using deathsticks, which lessen his connection to the Force.
In lightsaber combat, Darth Maul wins without exerting his upper limit, from what we have seen. In an all out battle, he takes the cake there, too.
And the only Force power she has used offensively during battle was Force lightning, something we know can be deflected, and it's an ability that Darth Maul has resisted, albeit from a Nightsister, nonetheless it supports the fact that were he to get hit, he may or may not go down (because we don't know how potent her lightning is on relatively powerful beings ).
She has demonstrated other abilities, namely an unnamed technique, however, that was used on an already defeated opponent, and akin to that of the drain knowledge power. It has no regard in combat, and showing that she possesses one other possibly unique power means jack shit, it certainly doesn't say that her reserve of force energy is greater. Especially when you consider that when Darth Maul dueled Darth Sidious, he had became extremely fatigued from battling assassin droids, and renewed his strength using the dark side, which is impressive in its own right (also note that its stated that during the flurry, even Darth Sidious "barely deflected them"
.
Back to the point, Darth Maul is a practitioner of Force grip. I could apply the same thing, as well. Like I said, her Force powers will hardly be enough to take down an opponent with superior skill and who's physical strength, speed, and agility outweighs her own.
okay what ever you say it is pointless debating against you, not worth the time, you where right I was wrong.
