Well he obviously won't because he died right after that fight
But seriously, assuming that was his "Best Ever" performance, then it obviously was a one-off because it was his last performance as well.
And I would argue it was at least a "Peak" performance for Mace considering just a few months earlier he lost to Darth Maul + 2 Mandalorians. Palpatine would rip through those three 10/10 times. And that's without help from Secura Lol.

Yea I was also going off mental state as well. Psychologically speaking mace was in the heat of the moment, the highest point of internal anger ever, it makes it clear in the novelization that this was fueled by how the republic was being run by the Sith was why he was pissed. After that, even if he wasn't dead, his internal anger from a psychological stand point would be lower since he already fought him once and then Sidious won't have a plan either, just to fight. You agree right.
^ Yeah I mean focus/mental state is something that is known to greatly effect Jedi/Sith in combat.
Look at Kenobi and Ventress stalemating/losing to Maul + Opress one episode, then the next episode Kenobi stalemating Maul 1 v 1, then at the end of the same episode Kenobi stalemating/defeating Maul + Opress combined.
Filoni's commentary made it clear that the difference in these fights was Kenobi's focus/mental state. And that's clearly going to be more so with Mace given the nature of Vapaad.
Facts are:
Mace fought equally with Sidious when fighting for everything he believed in.
Sidious Stomped Maul + Opress together. The fight made it clear this would happen 10/10 times.
Mace + Secura lost to Maul + 2 Death Watch warriors, suggesting Maul + 2 Death Watch warriors would take a good majority against Mace alone.
That you're hypocritical as ****? Pretty sure that was the argument I just made. Why don't you make up an argument that actually backs up what you said against DP? I agree with much of what he said, and look forward to you actually making a point yourself.
I'm not going to debate with you when DP is doing fine on his own, and my response to you would be the same as the one I'm giving to Benni. It wasn't short just because it was a few comic panels. It's a still medium, and Maul didn't "run away," because Mace, Aayla, or Clone Fodder 5 and 6 were a threat to him, so it's completely irrelevant.
It was two comic panels in which we see Maul kick Aayla in the face while blocking an attack from Mace, that's all, and that tells us next to nothing other than that he can contend with them.
In the end Maul fled (because yes Mace Windu is a threat to him) after Windu was caught off guard by a missile. This too tells us very little about a pair of Mandos ability to handle Mace in a straight up engagement, in which evasion would probably be involved.
All in all we can surmise next to nothing from the fight other than 1. Maul won't be blitzed by a Windu tier duelist, even with mid-tier backup 2. a missile blowing up in your face hurts.
Nothing we didn't already know, but not much else.
