Darth Maul and Dooku engage the Jedi Strike Team from Star Wars Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir #3.
However this time, Gar Saxon never incapacitates the Jedi! Who would be victorious in a battle to the death?

Id roll with the Sith.

It was so easy for Dooku to take out Tiplee, he'd take out Kenobi ROTS style, He moves to engage Windu (One considered almost equal, only slightly higher)

Maul would kill Aayla quickly, she's good, not that good. Then the two just take on Windu


The only question is if Maul could survive that long against Windu/Secura.
Probably, given his displays against Kenobi/Jinn when he wasn't at his prime.

At the very moment Mace overwhelms Maul, Dooku kills him.

I find it rather odd that Maul took on the stronger team, tbh.

Him going after Obi-Wan would be to obvious to the audience?

Jedi. Mace and Kenobi > Dooku and Maul (and that is without taking Aayla into account).

Not really. The audience wanted to see a final Kenobi and Maul fight before Sidious came in.

Not anymore. Maul held off Aayla and Mace.

Exactly. They wanted and expected it. They didn't get it. Although if it doesn't happen in the last issue...

For a short amount of time...

Not really. The duel would have been as long as your average TCW duel.

"Would have". Unfortunately it was a two panel fight.

The entire comic was only 23 pages. Realistically, each page was about a minute.
The entire fight was about a minute or two (your average Star Wars length fight.).

Nah. There were pages that "realistically" couldn't possibly last a minute. Besides which its irrelevant that is was going to be an episode. It wasn't, so whats on the page is the only relevant information. The fight was brief.

Like which pages? Of course for some of the dialogue pages, additional dialogue will be included in the show

Grievous jumping his two guards, Dooku accepting Mauls deal, Dooku and Maul entering their ship.

I didn't see you arguing that Grievous and Mauls fight would have been a minute long in the last issue.

I was wondering if it actually was.

I never argued against them either. The fights in this series, despite being poorly portrayed, was designed and intended to be for the TV series.
The fight will realistically be then as long as the ones in the TV series are, and in that show, not even Tarpals vs Grievous lasts merely a few seconds.

It doesn't matter what they were intended for. What we got was a 2 panel fight scene. Would it have been longer? Maybe. It wasn't. Thats the only important thing.

You do realize in the ROTS comic, the Yoda vs Sidious fight was merely like 4 panels? That mean's nothing in terms of combat.

I know, it's no guarantee of a short duel. But it also doesn't make it a long one, does it? The fact is that we only see a tiny amount of fighting. That's all we can say for certain. Suggesting a lengthy duel happened off-panel is entirely speculative.

And so is suggesting a short one. http://r26.imgfast.net/users/2613/36/14/96/smiles/3177439056.gif
Let's call it a draw and go in the middle.

Not really. As I said, we only have evidence of a small amount of fighting.

Why? Could it gone longer? Sure, it could've been but based on what we know only a few attacks were thrown around.

Actually, it does seem to be a very short duel as we never see Kenobi (or Tiplee) engage Dooku in sabers.

Eh. They dueled the entire duration Dooku was spamming lightning at the other two, and then from the time the Mandalorian said "Three! Prepare your rockets!" to when the blast erupted.

If by "spamming lightning" you mean the one burst we saw him shoot. Plus, it's not like we see Dooku shooting lightning for a minute or so in other stories.

Well, let us look at it this way: According to Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Scholastic book by Patricia C. Wrede on page 165, the amount of lightning that Palpatine unleashed at Yoda is the most he is capable of pouring (about 20 seconds). It seems like the longest Dooku has ever unleashed lightning was against Savage Opress for about 8 seconds here, and he showed no signs of weariness. I would place a safe bet that the fight was longer then 15 seconds of direct combat, which was how long the Darth Malgus vs Satele Shan fight was.

****ing love your new profile pic Ant.

The Sith win this 10/10

Aayla isn't doing Windu any favors, and Maul is faster, stronger, and can hold out against Windu while Dooku ragdolls and kills Kenobi and that other Jedi

Windu gets wtfpwned by the Sith.

Mace had time to show his assumed clear superiority over Maul but he didn't. Just like Maul had time to show his clear superiority over Secura which he did.

Either way I think it's pretty clear from the scene that Maul can put up a fight against Mace. And the whole A>B>C thing (of Mace beat Sidious who stomped the Maul brothers therefore Windu also stomp both Maul brothers toegther) clearly doesn't work. In fact it rarely has worked in SW.
