No but the DS Revan does different events and actually survives past KOTOR but both of the Mauls die and the have same backstory (prior to their rebirth) so essentially it comes down to who they faced Kenobi and Vader. and how well they did against them.

why dont you just theorize instead of whining about non canonicity??
Clone Maul was making the deathstroke on Vader when vader stabbed though himself to kill the clone, effectively surprising him. This gives maul more skill then vader, but a incredibly smaller brain, and low forsight, as this has happened alot. Vader killed obi wan. Obi wan killed cybernetic maul
The cybernetic Maul had to have also lost a decent amount of force potential seeing as how he lost his torso in TPM so that might play a factor in this duel.

hmm but darth vader had to have also lost a decent amount of force potential seing as how he lost most of his limbs in rots, so that might have played a factor when he fought both obi wan and Clone maul. Therefor making clone maul weaker then in my previous arguement?
Yeah... as I've said before. Maul isn't the brightest star in the sky, if you get my meaning.
Plus his reflexes suck. Obi-Wan was in the air for at least two seconds while Maul just stared at him in amazement while he front flipped over him, retrieved his lightsaber, then cleaved him in half. He actually didn't even really seem to understand what was happening until he was halfway down the energy shaft.

hehe There isn't much to roast, according to eu, maul is supposed to be some sort of god, but im not seeing it, and yes i read the darth mau lwhere he whiped out dark sun.
In AOTC Anakin just stood there while Dooku sliced off his arm. Pay attention when it happens, Anakin stands there still for over a second. His reflexes must suck. Agen and Saesee just stand there while Sidious kills then, their reflexes must suck. Sidious is able to hit Yoda with Force Lightning before Yoda can even react, Yoda's reflexes must suck. Vader just kneels there while Luke whacks his lightsaber repeatedly, he must also suck. Palpatine just stands there and electrocutes Luke while Vader looks back and forth between them, and then moves towards Palpatine, who doesn't realize what's happening until he's above Vader's head. he must suck.
Point being, if Maul sucks for that one thing, then all of these guys must suck as well.
That is the worst thing about the movies, IMO. In these huge duels, the loser ALWAYS just freezes right before losing. The lone exception would be the Qui-Gonn-Maul fight, and that makes it my favorite simply for that reason.

get this strait, man. These guys did not hold still with an ignited lightsaber for 3 seconds while a padawan flipped over them, turned around, and skewered thim, with the exception of the latter guy that sideous killed. you think sideous suspected his 30 year long main homie was going to sneak up behind him and throw him in a botomless pit? Sideous was supposed to monologue for 30 seconds more in the sids vs yoda fight, then draw his saber, and charge yoda, not say a few words then instantly whip out a lightning bolt that moved as quick as, well, lighting! Lee is an old man when fighting anakin, and the 1 second interval was because of this, and because anakin expected the attack to come from somewhere else. Maul only needed to move his lightsaber the tiniest angle to deflect the body slicing kenobi's ninjalike move.
