Vader's too powerful and too trained in the Force; if the three can close the gap, they'll crush him, but any meaningful distance and he obliterates them outright.
Well, Maul's dueling ability has been stated to be "second to none".
Obviously, that statement was intended by the author to be taken literally; therefore Maul's dueling ability is unparalleled by anyone else in the mythos.
Combine that with the fact that he's "the deadliest sith apprentice", and a user of Juyo, which requries "a high-end mastery of multiple forms", and it's pretty obvious that the Zabrack is simply a league above everyone else in this thread in every way possible.

"Anoon Bondera" is Darth Maul's pen-name. Your argument is invalid.

Re: Obi Wan Kenobi (ROTS) Vs Darth Vader (ANH) Vs Darth Maul Vs Darth Bandon
Ah too many people to factor in. So I can't be arsed playing
Tbh after having read Shadow Hunter myself I think it's pretty clear the writers intention was to show Maul's combat (skills) were peerless.
And this opinion doesn't seem to have changed since the different forms were invented, as they had Maul being stated to have Completely Mastered Juyo.
Add that to Dave Filoni stating that in CW even though Maul is broken sort of like Vader, he's still an Extremely dangerous threat because he's been very well trained in "All the ways of the Sith."
So I really only see Maul being defeated in Combat by someone significantly more powerful.

Most people are only beaten by people more powerful. That's kind of the definition of being "bested".
