Darth Maul runs the gaunlet!!!!

Maul, on his best day could beat Obi Wan, if things played out for him (like terrain advantages and such). At his best and with some luck, he makes it to seven and is beaten. Normally, he goes down in six.

There is no way under any normal conditions he makes it past seven.

Maul, on his best day could beat Obi Wan, if things played out for him (like terrain advantages and such).

Now that's quite an assertion to make, care to back it up?

Well, could Obi Wan(as good as he is) beat Qui Gon and his former self like Maul did. It's highly possible that if Maul lived on somehow to RotS he would be alot more powerful than Kenobi seeing how his master is Darth Sidious and he is a Dark Side practitioner.

That's like trying to guage what full-potential Anakin would have been - impossible.

According to The Phanton Menace: the Visual Guide, and several other sources, Maul was actually one of the most skilled and most dangerous Sith apprentices in history.

I think a lot of people underestimate Maul because of the fight against Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. He pretty much dominated the fight, and if you've read any of the novels and EU literature, it expands on Maul's arrogance. During fights, he has a habit of intentionally fighting on a lower standard - to gauge his opponent's strength and skill, and see if they will provide a challenge.

He did such things to prove that, even without going full out, he was capable of dominating most people.

Great post. I am one of the few (I believe) to give Maul the benefit of the doubt. He was arrogant in TPM. Just think what would have happened to the saga if he dislodged Obi...
Anyway, Maul could get to 6 without too much trouble, but he would have problems with Obi Rots and Count Dooku. I think he could whip Anakin (unfocused) because he doesn't want him to get focused.

I think he gets done in by Mace Windu. Windu would find a shatterpoint or even beat maul in saber combat-gasp- but if maul did beat Mace, he definityly goes down to Vader.

He wont get past ROTS Obi-Wan, and if by some miracle he does, Dooku pwns him with martini in hand.

He does not make it past 6. Kenobi's defense would break Maul's lightsaber in half and then Obi-Wan takes the road to victory from there.

Indeed. I don't see Maul getting past the Soresu Master, especially consiering that he got dropped on his arrse by a blood lusted TPM Kenobi. And I'm pretty sure that Rots Kenobi is stronger then TPM Blood lusted Kenobi.

1. Obi Wan Kenobi(TPM)
2. Qui Gon Jinn
3. Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker(AotC)
4. Kit Fisto
5. Plo Koon
6. Obi Wan Kenobi(RotS)
7. Anakin(not thinking clearly like when fighting Obi Wan)
8. Count Dooku
9. Mace Windu
10. Darth Vader

Like most people, i agree that Maul would go until ROTS obi-wan. After that i doubt he could continue, but if he actually beat obi-wan, i am pretty much sure that anakin would take him down because even "no thinking clearly" aakin was still stronger then obi-wan. Also, maul's agressivity would probably turn on anakin's rage and when this happen, maul is sliced in 15 seconds...

I think Darth Maul would Get to ROTS obi-wan and put up a hell of a fight but lose

and in the darth maul journal if its canon didn't Maul fight Qui Gon and Obi Wan with a bad anckel and still dominate

I say he gets to 4.

he could stop at 3

He will reach 8th spot. Then Dooku will finish him off.

Though he will start having serious troubles from 6th spot.

and in the darth maul journal if its canon didn't Maul fight Qui Gon and Obi Wan with a bad anckel and still dominate

Really, I didn't know that...

I wouldn't say dominate, as he ended up getting cut in half.

Maul clearly won the fight. I think he takes Anakin when it comes to lightsabre fighting. The only reason Kenobi tripped Maul up is cause he gave into the Dark Side. Sabre-wise if Anaakin could take Dooku Maul should too but Dooku would probably win w/ force powers.

Nope, Dooku is a better swordsman then Maul as is Anakin, by a huge margin.

He would stop at 6 imo.

I believe Dooku>Anakin also when it comes to sabers.
