Darth Maul versus RotS Anakin Skywalker

Straight out saber duel, setting is an open field in Naboo, who takes it?

Maul easily.

Seriously Anakin beats him comfortably, however I'm sure others will say not...

Considering Anakin wtfpwned Dooku, I see no reason to think Maul would beat him.

Well, Maul beat up a bunch of battle droids in a comic book. As such, he's more then a match for Anakin.

Hmmm, my overall sarcasm is on level 10(my girlfriend calls me emotionally cut off), while yours seems to be stuck at a -2...

Indeed.

At this point it doesn't really matter. I'm just poking fun to poke fun, I'm over the irritation I had him with him. That was so last week.

Anakin Skywalker takes this.

Skywalker after a great battle.

Anakin wins but after a good fight with some difficulty.

Anakin destroys him easily, Maul doesn't have a prayer.

Anakin takes this but he gets a tough fight. Maul's pretty high up there.

BTW, Hey everyone! I'm new here. Been reading posts here every now and then for the last few days and decided to join in. I know a pretty good amount about Star Wars. I've read like 50 or so of the books since I started them about a year go.

Anakin takes this easily.

^ Why do you think that?

Anakin curbstomps maul.

^ At risk of sounding repetitive, why do you think that?

...Because Anakin tore through Dooku as if he were nothing but paper. However, comparing the situation with Dooku to the hypothetical one with Maul is ridiculous. I have no doubt Anakin will win, but it'll require more effort. Anakin was an onslaught that Dooku couldn't withstand, but Maul is of a different caliber. He's on par (if not superior) to Anakin in strength, speed, and agility, and he's got enormous martial arts skills and fighting prowess.

I think it'd be a good fight, but, yeah, Anakin will win in the end.

I definately agree with you, Gideon, Anakin will win. I just don't understand why anyone would think that Maul would go down easily or get curbstomped.

Most people perceive that since Dooku is more powerful than Maul (which he is), he'd get owned in the same fashion.

Makes sense I guess.
