Darth Maul vs ROTJ Vader

Started by Archangelysses10 pages

The point was his hand was severed after repeated blows to the same position to knock the blade out of the way. 4 if i remember correctly

I think you mean you won't continue this because you can't prove the point. In RotJ, Luke was moving nowhere near as fast as Ray could (which is also Maul's potential abilities as no one else portrayed him) Vader was unable to prevent Luke from cutting off his hand. Now, if Vader could not prevent one person (who Lucas admitted was a half-trained boy) cutting his hand off, how would he be able to block the attacks of someone moving at least twice as fast, and with two blades rather than one?

WTF! Can you read? I said it was because you never stop, you are stubborn and a hypocrite, don't be an **s hole by assuming such things....

And Samuel L Jackson was the only one who portraied Mace, so he must suck....

SLJ portrayed Mace brilliantly in ROTS.

Yes, but not as a swordsman, then he sucked balls....

And those four blows would have occured within half the time had they been delivered by Maul.

Prove it. Luke was moving no slower than Maul.

And Vader still beat Maul, in the continuity. Therefore, this fight's been done.

I think it's clear that you're the one who can't read. Yes, I am stubborn, because I am not going to change my opinion about something without good cause or proof too. There is no proof that backs up your point, so I see no reason to change my mind.
As for Sam, I repeat my previous question about if you have seen 51st State, where he WTFpwns a gang of skinheads by wielding a golf club very much as he does a lightsaber.

As I said previously, you cannot judge Vaapad by the same standards you would judge Makashi, they are two totally different forms. Makashi is one of grace and precision, Vaapad is one of synchopated attacks and almost illogically connected moves. It's like comparing an apple to an orange, you just can't do it.

Vious translation: I'm a hypocrite who keeps with stupid comparisons and whenever I'm beat at a point, I simply discredit it.

Vader won. He killed Maul. We getting that? he made up for his loss of speed, get it?
You. Are. Wrong.

Nope, your the one.... And I have provided proof, you just won't take it as such because you don't want to...

Are you seriousley comparing Samuel in ANOTHER movie, winning over some people when he has a golf club, to Mace Windu? That was another film, that was not Samuel himself. Anyone can swing a golf club and kick ass, I've done similar to people wielding a stick....

Where did you get such info on Vaapad? And that doesn't matter, they both were slower than Vader was in ESB, and the kick he performed in the end sucked ass, should be parried easy as hell. The thing is that you shouldn't judge the character after the actor who performed it, Mace and Sidious apparently weren't that slow.

Watch the last duel on DVD or find it on You Tube, and then compare it to the link I provided (or even when TPM). Luke was moving his blade much slower.

Vader never fought Maul, that comic isn't canon.

You just can't accept being wrong, can you.

No, I won't take it as proof, because it isn't proof. You cannot judge speed in a novel or comic, you can when it's a moving image. Luke never moved a lightsaber as fast as Ray (or Maul in TPM) RotJ movie shows this as an indisputeable fact.

Okay, provide proof that Sam can't[duel. Yes, it's another movie, but it was one that showed that he had some skill in wielding a weapon. That had to come from the actor regardless of the character they're portraying. The way he was swinging the golf club was very similar to the way he wielded the lightsaber, a fact most likely incorporated into Mace's style by Gillard.

There are plenty of online sources about saber techniques. I'm sure you won't consider them canon, but all the information is no doubt a distillation of everything written about saber technique in the novelizations and EU.

You're absolutely right, it doesn't matter. Mace/Sam has absolutely nothing to do with Vader Vs Maul. This will be the third or fourth time of me pointing this out to you. Why are you constantly bringing an irrelevent point into the debate?

Yes Maul may have delivered four blows quicker, but speed as I stated earlier does not make up for brute force.

Compare a rapier to a claymore. both swords are deadly, but the rapiers speed does not necessarily dictate victory.

You don't get it do you? He defeated SEVERAL jedi masters AT ONCE. Are all jedi suddenly slow? I remember a padawan keeping up with Darth Maul, these guys had PLANNED to take Darth Vader for a LONG time....
Darth also EASILY kicked someone who was noted as the fastest, strongest and flawless warrior where they had gathered some of the most well trained and best warriors. He was like a kid against Vader....
As I said, don't judge the character after their actor....

They are moving slow in that fight, he is performing a ridicilous kick at the end, they are not even matching blades at the time and Sidious cannot still block it. Sidious is holding his lightsaber straight above his haid, he has no defence what so ever. If you are saying that Luke is slow then look at this fight....

So you can't show me proof? Give me the exact quote....

Why don't you get it? You are comparing Ray Park as an actor to Darth Vader as an actor. How do you figure that a normal actor would move fast with that kind of suit? It doesn't make sense. Then I compared the actors, showing that Sidious or Mace performed WORSE than the others, but they are clearly much above either Maul or Vader....

For example, would you put TPM Obi equal to ROTS or AOTC, because he performed himself equal to them in TPM, and he actually showed more speed in TPM than in AOTC?

how do you do those quote thingies anyway

Vader wasn't trying with Luke. Vious, you gotta at least give me that -_-

*Checks* Nope, Luke's still fast.

And Vader. Beat. Maul. Get this through your head. It shows rather clearly Vader IS superior

Yeah, I just skipped reading a lot of stuff.

Vious, you won't admit defeat. You won't listen to reason. You're a hypocrite. You can just leave and make everyone a lot happier.

Vader destroys maul. He can easily just choke him or crush him with the force. And if it gets down to a duel, vader still beats him quite badly. As a duelist, vader is pretty much the best in all of the films. the movies depict him badly imo, just look at some of the stuff he did in the EU. Plus, there is the fact that he is the chosen one, and so his luck and morale is at the highest when he is battling a sith.

No, you don't get that you cannot judge speed from a comic. It doesn't matter how many Jedi Vader took at once, because there is no way of knowing how fast or how slow they are.
The reason why Obi-wan was faster in TPM was because he was using Ataru rather than Soresu, which involves using the Force to propell the body beyond what is physically possible. He then stopped using it, because it's defensive abilities were lacking.
Incase you hadn't realized, I said to compare the speed with which Luke was moving with the speed Darth Maul was moving in TPM (or as fast as Ray was moving in an impromptu display) Darth Maul is capable of doing anything Ray Park can and more.
As for your constant referal to Sidious and Mace, try and get it into your head that the styles of fighting they used against each other were not the same kind of 'fast' style like Makashi. They used synchopated attacks. Do you understand what that term means? They were not constantly attacking each other at the same speed, but varying.

I agree entiresly, Vader wasn't trying to kill Luke. That's not my point. My point, is Luke was trying to kill Vader (when he lost controll of his temper) and Luke was not moving as fast as Maul. If Luke could break down Vader's defences, then someone moving twice as fast would do so a lot easier.
