The facts also are that:
- Maul was defeated by padawan Kenobi
- Maul was defeated by a blind Kanan
- Maul was lured into a trap by padawan Tano
- Kylo Ren was defeated by the untrained force and lightsaber user Rey

It's not my opinion you dumbass. These quotes are all from the ROTS novel, which EXPANDS on the events of the film; giving more context to the movie. These quotes make it pretty clear that Windu won because of Vapaad and Shatterpoint, you have no argument.

Before he could follow through on his stroke, a sudden arc of blue plasma sheared through his wrist and his hand tumbled away with his lightsaber still in it and Palpatine roared back to his feet and lightning speared from the Sith Lord's hands and without his blade to catch it, the power of Palpatine's hate struck him full-on. He had been so intent on Palpatine's shatterpoint that he'd never thought to look for Anakin's.

Windu was entirely focused on Sidious' and his shatterpoint during the fight. Again, suggesting that Shatterpoint was one of the only reasons WIndu was victorious.

So tools he can use somehow make it less impressive but tools Sidious uses are fair game. How deliciously hypocritical of you. Windu beat him fair and square, crybaby. Sheev is overrated.

Maul let his guard down after he skillfully disarmed him.
Maul previously had Kanan dead to rights. Tano intervened. Maul was overconfident and went off the cliff. Maul just recently bfrd him into space for yet another win. Unseen allies make it an unfair fight. Against no incoming threats Kenobi and Anakin were trapped in ray shields.
We don't know that but he was clearly injured prior to their fight.
Wait until the next film my First Order doubting simpleton.

Way to misinterpret my words. My point is that Windu only won because of Shatterpoint and Vapaad, as my quotes prove. Otherwise, Sidious would have blitzed Windu just like he blitzed the other three. And there's always the fact that Sidious sensed Anakin's approach and threw the fight to trick Anakin into falling to the Dark Side.

No proof he threw the fight just conjecture by fanboys. So Windu resisted due to his own innate abilities. Glad you agree that he won under his own ability. He does so again here.

Circumstantial abilities. Sidious is > Yoda which inherently makes him > Windu. Sidious is superior no matter what. His victory was purely circumstantial. As I proved.

I cited the context and Maul had the advantage and clear victories on his own. Palpatine was unable to muster a worthwhile defense after he was disarmed hence the Anakin pleading.

While there are no official sources saying Palpatine threw the duel, the evidence we have does suggest exactly that.
1: Sidious is a master manipulator.
2: Sidious wanted to trick Anakin into turning Dark Side.
3: Sidious' lightning was overpowering Windu in the novel. (Once more suggesting superiority.)
4: Palpatine has used feints and deception before, the fight's events fit his MO.

You ignored canon fights and outcomes and made more baseless claims based on abc logic. I insult people who want to live in delusional worlds. That'd be you.

If there are no sources we must use the available evidence, which back my argument in this case. As for being new to debating, no, I'm not. As evident by the fact that I have now bested you three times. Your being too ignorant and retarded to understand and accept that isn't my problem. Yet you haven't countered ANYTHING I've said with anything other than unsubstantiated opinions. Your debating skills are woefully lacking.

Saying you bested me while ignoring the evidence and making things up you can't prove is being delusional and stubborn. Two traits you shouldn't embrace. I countered you with facts. Saying Yoda is better than Windu is making a baseless claim.

You countered me with unsubstantiated opinions, not fact. Provide a source to prove your point, otherwise your credibility is non-existent. As for Yoda being > Windu,
Inside the spacious interior of the Galactic Senate chamber, Yoda challenged the Emperor. The two engaged in a spectacular duel—a contest between the most powerful practitioners of the Force’s light and dark sides.

He seems to be second most powerful jedi on the that council, next to Yoda.

These quotes state Yoda as the most powerful Jedi in the Order, and place Windu as second. Unsurprisingly, I win again.
