People are giving Maul too much credit. This was the 'badass' who sat and wacthed Obi-Wan jump, flip, pull a lightsaber, land, THEN swing at his midsection before dying. You'd think reaction time would be better for someone trained to fight multiple Jedi at a time.
My verdict? Maul gets butt molested by Aayla and Ki-Adi's saber.
That was in the Darth Maul comics. And it was an excuse to kill him off, he had to die someway and Obi-Wan had to survive. If he really had that shitty reflexes then how come he toyed both Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan at the same time?
Qui-Gon is better than Ki-Adi, Qui-Gon is better than Aayla. He loses against them at the same time though.
Obi is a little worse than both I belive, but as a team Qui-Gon and Obi are far superior to what team Ki-Adi and Aayla would have. Maul TOYED Obi and Qui-Gon as a team.

Really, I typically thought people underestimated Maul.
No doubt Maul would win.
I must say, I would like to know where people are getting the idea that Ki-Adi-Mundi does Makashi. I'm not doubting them. I'm just wondering innocently because I've never seen.
Considereing that Mundi does do Makashi, this would make him an excellent blade-to-blade duelist. Aayla does Ataru. She is more flexible than Qui-Gon and probably in better shape than the 50 or 60 something year old man. Aayla has proven herself in her battle against Aurra Sing, and Mundi has proven himself the best (probably) of the Hypori Jedi who faced General Grievous.
Maul is an powerful fighter also. He managed to hold off Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, seperated them, then defeated them (some may argue that Obi-Wan beat Maul, but if there was no pit, Kenobi would be dead). He also defeated the poweful Black Sun group.
Mundi and Secura would give Maul a tough little fight, but in the end, Maul would overcome them.
Hmmm I won't go through the trouble of reading. No offense intended, but what else was there apart from Soresou? I mean, Kit Fisto is basically the only Jedi Master who used Form I, and we know he didn't use Niman since all their users who were at Geonosis died. We also know he didn't fight with Juyo because there were VERY few practitioners, and if he had Soresou, he probably would have taken out a few more clones. Sorry, if I offended you with that, but I was just asking.

Well here are some notables who practice the main forms:
Shii-Cho: Kit Fisto, Cin Drallig (lightsaber instructor), and Yoda
Makashi: Dooku, Sev'rance Tann, Cin Drallig, Tyvokka, Shaak Ti
Soresu: Luminara Unduli, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Bariss Offee, Cin Drallig
Ataru: Yoda, myself, Aayla, Sidious, Tsui Choi, Cin Drallig
Shien: Anakin, Plo Koon, Luke, Cin Drallig, Vrook, Agen Kolar
Niman: Hundreds and hundreds, perhap even thousands
Juyo : Mace, Depa, Sora, Echuu-Shen Jon, Maul
Anyway, if you're asking what Ki-Adi Mundi uses, it's probably either
Shien or Makashi
And how did you offend me?
Sidious also used Juyo, as he showed during his duel with Mace. And about Maul's reflexes being slow, Sidious jumped just as slowly at the Jedi in ROTS and still cut down Agen Kolar just as easily as Obi-Wan cut down Maul and the ROTS novel states that with Yoda and Obi-Wan gone that left "Mace Windu and Agen Kolar, two of the Order's finest swordsman, to deal with Sidious".
In response to that, I have two theories:
1.) In the choreography, they really couldn’t make Sidious’s jump any faster (otherwise it would be to fast for the viewers to see) so they made it like that. In SW universe, the jump must have been really fast, so that Agen Kolar can get stabbed without him responding.
2.) That was just bad choreography. I don’t what George Lucas was thinking, but he made “one of the Order’s finest swordsmen” look like a piece of shit.

Soresu also had thousands of users, didn't it? Anyway, I thought Drallig was a Niman dude shock
Okay 🙂
Didn't mean to, just making sure I didnt
Pretty much everyone learns Shii-Cho as a youngling. Few master it - Kit Fisto and maybe a few others.
Niman was a very popular choice in the Golden Age of the Jedi - the diplomat's form, many people mastered it and many of its users fell at the Battle of Geonosis.
Ataru, Shien/Djem Sa and Soresu were the standard forms - many jedi mastered them.
Makashi and Juyo/Vaapad were the rare forms of the time.
