Tpm Maul meets "Revan" incarnation Vitiate in the fields of Dantooine. If Maul destroys make it Valkorion. If Vitiate wins make it Post Nathema Vitiate. Who wins?

Just looking through my old documents and this feat in particular stands out:
So while avoiding security patrols, skylights and motion detection lasers, Maul runs, jumps and climbs through these headquarters so quickly that if you even wanted a camera to see him, it needs to be put in slow motion. Not see him with any great clarity, just finally be able to register he exists. And this isn't him in a combat situation, trying to murder his opponent with absolute efficiency, travelling in a straight line, which would allow him to move much more quickly.
Vitiate might not be ready in time before Maul cuts his head off here.

HoT was literally a foot away from an insanely weakened Vitiate and no blitzing occurred. Still don't see Vitiate not defeating Maul in a single attack.

Novel Vitiate != SWTOR Vitiate. Novel Vitiate on a powerful dark side nexus gets disarmed by Meetra Surik's saber throw, nearly blindsided by T3, and knocked on his ass by his own lightning bolts. There's basically no evidence that he has bothered to refine his reflexes or close-quarters combat abilities at all, given that his imperial guard basically makes it impossible for any of his fodder to get as close to him as Maul starts in this fight.
Likewise, Force augmentation is correlated more closely with "raw" power than other, more external abilities are, and Maul's raw potential rivals Palpatine's. Add that to his far more relevant training and specialization in close quarters combat and speed-blitzing feats and it's unclear if a sorcerer like Tenebrae would be prepared to deal with one of the fastest and deadliest combatants in the mythos standing six meters away from him.
(HoT was also weakened but ILS and co. can handle that)
