*nods to Borbarad* Darth Malak vs. Darth Maul

Malak could still kill him even if he's not hanging onto a pit. It would be difficult, but Malak could pull it off.

In a saber fight, yes, Malak could. But Malak is at heavy risk, too

It is a 50/50 fight.

Both are uber awesome (I am using that term correctly, yes?).

I still have not set aside 15 minutes to read about Maul (but will do so soon) though from what can gather he is most impressive.

Indeed it would be a difficult fight. However, in a Force fight, while Maul can resist Force Lightning, do we know if he can resist a sustained bombardment by it? Plus the lightning of a Sith Lord is probably more powerful than that of a Nightsister. Also Malak can use Force Drain, which would wear down Maul's health in a Force fight.

I think I would give the fight to Malak about 70/30

Yes, but the problem is even if it could sap Maul down, he's still capable of delivering a sudden strike while still being electrocuted

Um, a sudden strike of what?

His lightsaber? It's how he killed said Nightsister

Actually, on review I would give it to Malak at 67.547/32.453.

I base this on something that I have come across at another forum.

Oh. I was talking about in a Force fight. Of course in an all-out Malak could block with one hand while lightninging (is that a word?) or draining with the other.

Close enough 😕

One must be as precise as possible when talking of these things.

When I read about Maul fully I am sure that I will have the correct answer to 12 decimal places.

This may not be good enough, but all we can do is try.

lemme geuss you had to use calculus to figure it out.

besides maul might be able to win but malak wins the majority of the time.

force wise, maul maul gets pwned.

Forcewise Maul gets owned by, what, more than 75% of the Force-users?

here's a question it's an old piece of waffle i read in older topics
why exactly did people think Malak was stronger than people like Nihilus or Traya simply because he was #2 to Revan ?
doesn't make much sense

Malak was able o easily defeat many mandelorians, Mandelorians who were extreemly efficient killers.
He was described as being very talented ust like revan, but was extreemly ruthless, when it came to battle.

He was the only person besides revan who was able to control the Star Forge without being consumed by its power, that in itself is extreemly noteworthy.

He isn't better than traya or nihilus because he's #2 to revan, he is that powerfull because he earned his rank and power.

i know
i was just asking why some people thought that
read it in older threads and thought maybe someone understood it

😕 😕 😕

While it seems apparent that Darth Malak could overcome Darth Maul in a contest of Force powers, a much more cogent and logical argument would have to be made to suggest that Malak is superior to Maul in a strict contest of lightsabers:

Darth Maul is one of the most highly trained Sith in the history of the Order.

Pushing his physical and Force-assisted abilities to the utmost, Darth Maul built and uses a double-bladed lightsaber as his primary weapon.

-- The Complete Visual Dictionary, page 51

The present Sith Master, Darth Sidious, is the diabolically brilliant mind behind the training of one of the most dangerous Sith apprentices in history: the deadly Darth Maul.
