Anakin was, what, seventeen when he died? Not even? Maul was twenty-two or so, had vastly more intensive training, had achieved "high-end mastery of multiple forms," and thoroughly outclassed the most skilled swordsman in a Jedi Order that included the likes of Dooku, Mace, Qui-Gon, and Yoda.
Also, Kenobi was three years older than Maul. 😛

'thoroughly outclassed the most skilled swordsman in a Jedi Order that included the likes of Dooku, Mace, Qui-Gon, and Yoda'
I dont understand, are you saying Maul could have beaten Yoda, Dooku or Mace?

I agree. Why does eveyone use that quote then? It seems to imply that Anoon is the best, when he clearly isnt.
If Anakin lived, he'd beat Maul quite handely by LoTF, but as he died mid-NJO at seventeen: Maul in all three.

Originally posted by Vorpal RuinAnoon was the most skilled swordsman in the Order. This is stated in Cloak of Deception, as well as in Shadow Hunter. But the vast power difference between he and individuals like Count Dooku and Yoda mean that he can never make himself as fast or strong as they are, he can't react as quickly as they can.

Bondara's sparring sessions with Qui-Gon Jinn and Mace Windu actually make him question his purported status as the greatest duelist among the Jedi, but he realized in seconds that Darth Maul actually outclassed him.

I don't mean to be rude but ROFL Yoda, Mace and Dooku would take Maul and shove that double bladed Saber right up. He cannot stand up to them at all, Mace with Vaapad and Shatterpoint ability would destroy Maul's Juyo. Yoda is the Grand Master of the Jedi Order and completely out classes Maul by about two levels. Dooku is on par with Windu and the Master of Makashi, Maul does NOT outclass him as a swordsman. Ok Maul may have achieved mastery of Multiple forms but Yoda achieved Mastery of ALL forms. Dooku was a Master of argueably the most proficient lightsaber to lightsaber form save Vaapad. And Mace is the Master of a form that had been left incomplete for 4000 years, I believe Maul's saber form of choice was this incomplete version of a form Mace completed.
To say maul OUTCLASSES Dooku, Mace and Yoda is downright. 😆 😂

Do I need to spell it out for you?
Anoon can never defeat Yoda or Dooku because, while being more skilled than them, he simply isn't powerful enough to compete. The same applies to Maul, although he'd certainly fare better than Bondara would.
Originally posted by FaunusThe PT jedi in general relied too much on the forms. Several Jedi who mastered and excelled at their forms became predictable because of this. Makashi might have been the ultimated dueling form but Dookie relied on its movements too much and got out maneuvered by Anakin who used Djem So, and that particular form is more based on brute force and dominating/overpowering enemies rather than precise movements. Yet, it was Anakin's adaptability and innovativeness that won the day.

Those traits, combined with quick reaction, accuracy, precision can be more decisive in a Saber fight than just Mastery and skill.
This is how Maul defeated Anoon, and how Anakin defeated Dookie.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, it seemed misleading. Yeah, ive read Shadow Hunter and when Anoon and Maul fought it was a quick defeat.
