Darth Maul vs Sora Bulq saber combat

hanger at theed palace

Sora Bulq's reputation as a swordsman eclipses Maul's own... but we saw how much that helped Anoon Bondara.

This is an interesting thread.

I'm gonna have to go with Maul. Guy's a beast. While Sora does have Vaapad to help him, Maul's incorporation of Teras Kasi could be enough to even out the scales.

Maul would realistically take it by all available evidence. He pretty firmly defeated someone more technically skilled in the form of Anoon Bondara, and aside from lightsaber technique there's not really that much we can say about Sora Bulq.

he fought mace to a stand off

lawl Nebaris.

Maul.

Sora.

All he has is Vapaad, and mind you this is not Windu Vapaad. How can Maul lose?

Edit: he

Sora is a male.

Beg your pardon, but no he didn't. He put up a fight certainly, but Mace left the duel only because he knew he was needed elsewhere. There's nothing to suggest Mace wouldn't have beaten him if the duel had continued.

Indeed, just look how easy Mace was able to get the better of him with a Force Push.

To be fair, Sora was expecting Mace to come at him with sabers and probably didn't expect him to whirl and hurl him aside. But it's highly likely Mace'd have killed him in a straight duel.

Sora also Force pushed Mace at one point and had him on the floor..

so yeah they fought to a stand-off..so its you who has to prove Mace was gna win.. although this was at the beginning of the clone wars, and before shatterpoint, and I beleive Mace improved after that.

Nope, a stand-off is when neither opponent can overcome the other. Mace left only because the other Jedi were in danger and needed him. Hence it cannot be a stand-off.

If the fight had not been interrupted by outside events and gone on without a victor then that would be a stand-off, but that didn't happen.

Mace mastered Vaapad. Sora was mastered by it. That clearly shows who'd have won.

..?What do u mean by that? There are tons of FEMALES who could beat him(sora). well not tons, but I would say LOTF Jaina, Darth Traya, Celeste Morne, Depa Billaba, Fay, Yaddle, maybe Ventress could all beat Sora. He hasn't shown any force prowess.. well if he has i don't know of any. so please link me to some if I am wrong.

btw what does that have to do with anything? Anakin was a male. Palpy was a male. Obi-Wan was a male. Maul was a male

so what???

Thats an ambiguous statement that doesnt mean anything.

And it was Mace's opinion. i.e. the opinion of an in universe fallible character. In Bulq's opinion Bulq perfected Vapaad, and harnessed everything that was inherent to it by embracing the dark side.

EDIT: ah chilled monkey.. lol
btw everyone is fallible, even the great Palpy.

and Vapaad was created to combat the dark side, not by embracing the dark side. That clearly shows that Sora was mastered by Vapaad, as whoever darth power quoted said.

(forgot to look at who was quoted.. sry no disrespect intended)

Interesting fight! Sora Bulq edges Darth Maul; 7/10.
