"deadly" isnt even a description of someones skill. hence why im confused why people say "Well maul is described as being the deadliest sith apprentice in history so hes uber". a child with a berreta is deadly even if the child doesnt know how to use it. hes still "deadly".
simply being "deadly" isnt getting maul anywhere. kit fisto has feats to back up the quotes saying hes one of the finest duelists in the orders history. maul and anoon do not.

Why do you think he was called deadly? Because he can stare you to death?

Let me ask you a question, is a child with a gun as deadly as an individual who has far more skill, far more experience and far better combat capabilities with the weapon?
There have been many "deadly swordsman" through out the mythos, but just exactly how many of them are that skill ful to be labelled one of the most deadly?
Originally posted by Ms.MarvelI have listed down the facts which you blatantly ignored.

And just to let you know, an out of practise sidious slaughtered kit fisto within mere seconds, maul was able to give TPM sidious(whose lightsaber skills were at his peak) a very tough fight and nearly kills him despite being hungry and exhausted from a while earlier after fighting hordes of assasin droids.
We also have darth maul killing not one but two legendary swordsman.
Originally posted by bayhunter12Mace can beat Dooku. Agreed.
I disagree, mace can take dooku due to the fact he beat dooku's master. Then agen kolar can hold up against maul for a good while and fisto, well he can can at least hold off malak long enough for mace to beat dooku.
However Maul and Malak>Agen Kolar and Kit Fisto
And it's not like Dooku vs Mace will end in minutes. It will take forever.

along with the fact that he beat qui gon and anoon bondara whom were described as legendary when it came to swordplay?
anoons never done anything to substantiate that statement. anything. hes stated to have the best technical prowess in the order which can be interpreted as simply being the most knowledgeable of all the styles on paper. at the same time hes been stated to not be on the level of the true top tiers (such as yoda and mace).
so what has anoon actually done to make him a legendary?
You're reaching. Being the deadliest child in the world is a HELLUVA 'ccomplishment. Being the deadliest Sith apprentice in history is as well.
it was just a metaphor. simply being deadly in itself isnt an indication of skill. ares didnt mention the deadliest in history he just said deadly period. im the one who brought up that quote.
When you can endanger your master's life (one of the greatest Sith at this particular point) during said apprenticeship---then you've got something going for you.
he surprised him and briefly held the upper hand. kenobi did the same exact thing to maul. literally putting him on his ass.
He took on and defeated two of the Order's saber legends.
you mean the two featless wonders? both of whom were only considered "legendary" up to the time of TPM, 10+ years before RotS? Kit is stated to be one of the finest duelists in the entire order as of RotS, which is pretty much the orders peak in terms of skilled duelists.
If we're tallying up similar feats here, then how many Sith legends have Fisto or Kolar undone?
sith apprentices? none. how many sith apprentices has maul actually on-panel defeated? how many people of actual importance and skill that has been proven on-panel has maul beaten? kit fisto easily defeated greivous who was pretty much the most devastating fighter in the CIS next to dooku. hes been not only stated as such but has the feats to back him up, defeating upwards of four or five jedi by himself and defeating both durge and ventress at the same time. greivous has actually displayed more prowess then maul, qui-gon, and anoon combined. defeating him with ease is a testimont to kit fitso's superiority.
I gotta say, this a very refreshing change from the recent monstrosities that have come out of those new members. Kudos.

Originally posted by Ms.MarvelI am by no means trying to downplay Kit's skill. It's top notch. And you make a good point with the era-to-history ratio for Kit as compared to Jinn or Anoon (if you're erroneous or wrong I can neither prove nor disprove [fact the only line sporting Jinn's potential legendary status from an eternal standpoint is Wookieepedia's line from The New Essential Chronology about him and Mace being unable to actually outduel one another]). I feel Kit is quite up to the task of taking on Maul and winning. It shan't be easy, nuh uh.
sith apprentices? none. how many sith apprentices has maul actually on-panel defeated? how many people of actual importance and skill that has been proven on-panel has maul beaten? kit fisto easily defeated greivous who was pretty much the most devastating fighter in the CIS next to dooku. hes been not only stated as such but has the feats to back him up, defeating upwards of four or five jedi by himself and defeating both durge and ventress at the same time. greivous has actually displayed more prowess then maul, qui-gon, and anoon combined. defeating him with ease is a testimont to kit fitso's superiority.
And I can't wait for the Clone Wars program to abolish Grievous' status as Jedi-killer numero uno. Won't be long now until Zett Jukassa is surviving a one-on-one with him.

Originally posted by Ms.MarvelNothing, but as far as quotes and canon goes, he is "second to none".so what has anoon actually done to make him a legendary?
But if you want more infro, he defeated quigon jinn, despite having his stamina weakend and qui gon had spared with mace windu several times and the intresting thing is mace, despite having one of the most powerful lightsaber forms(who put sidious on his ass) and one of the orders most skillful duelists couldn't break through qui gons defence and couldn't out duel him while quigon coouldn't out duel him either.
Yet maul managed to defeat quigon and hold his own despite being outnumbered 2 to 1.
Funny how quigon mentions that Maul was in control of the duel and Obiwan admits that even when he was using the dark side he was losing that advantage

But theres a specific reason as to why he is called one of the deadliest sith apprentices in history, if his skills aren't as good and if he is not as skillful as you say, why did official sources even label him that way in the first place?
It takes skill to be labelled deadliest, not deadly.
While it is true that being labelled "deadly" is no indication of skill, being the "deadliest sith apprentice in history" is completely something else.
Originally posted by Ms.MarvelProblem is maul was severely weakened and exhausted and he "surprised" a sith lord that killed kit fisto with relative ease.

Yeah featless wonders indeed, being able to go head to head with mace(who put sidious on his ass), being unable to break mace defences while mace couldn't even get past qui gons defences or out duel him.
Very very featless and useless. Being called legendary.
Funny how you say quotes dont cut it for you yet your using a quote which describes kit fisto's combat prowess. Hmm i smell a hypocrite.
Originally posted by Ms.MarvelRight and that means maul is weak and not skillful. Its such a wonder why sidious as of TPM is already called the most powerful practitionar of the dark side and the greatest sith master to wield the dark side despite not doing anything on panel, despite not killing anyone on panel.
sith apprentices? none. how many sith apprentices has maul actually on-panel defeated? how many people of actual importance and skill that has been proven on-panel has maul beaten?
Originally posted by Ms.MarvelRight, he defeated 5 no named jedi, he defeated ventress that dooku pwned by lifting a finger and he supposidly displayed more combat prowess than 3 of them combined.
kit fisto easily defeated greivous who was pretty much the most devastating fighter in the CIS next to dooku. hes been not only stated as such but has the feats to back him up, defeating upwards of four or five jedi by himself and defeating both durge and ventress at the same time. greivous has actually displayed more prowess then maul, qui-gon, and anoon combined. defeating him with ease is a testimont to kit fitso's superiority.
Right, he probably displayed more combat prowess than even dooku so that means he is far superior to dooku, great logic!
You forget that mace could easily beat kit fisto on any given day(and tooled palpatine)and he couldn't even break through qui gons defences.
Your also forgetting that kit fisto wields shii cho which is significantly weaker than the juyo form which maul was pushed "beyond the limit" to master.

its disgusting. the baddies are getting dragged through the dirt. did you see the trailer for the new season though? it looks somewhat promising.
Ugh. I refuse to watch that abomination. After the $10 I wasted on the movie and the single episode I watched, I vowed to never view another moment of it. As soon as we here are forced to bow to any and all ridiculous canon changes made to characters in that show is the day I give up on Star Wars. The odd game or saga film, but after that I'm finished. Can only hope Lucas suffers some crippling amnesia before then.

ares - GideonThis is the second time someone has throw this in your direction in two days. Read.
Jedi Academy Sourcebook:Anoon Bondara's entry states that his Padawan learners and students regard him as a warrior whose skills are without peer. However, the entry itself says that Bondara "humbles himself" when he spars against "superior fighters" such as Qui-Gon Jinn and Mace Windu, though the sourcebook does go out of its way to regard his skills as "considerable."
WolverineStop being a jackass.

WolverineMaul defeated Qui-Gon Jinn when the man was pushing sixty; unlike some of his more powerful contemporaries, by that point he was already more vulnerable to exhaustion. This is made explicitly clear in the novelization.
qui gon had spared with mace windu several times and the intresting thing is mace, despite having one of the most powerful lightsaber forms(who put sidious on his ass) and one of the orders most skillful duelists couldn't break through qui gons defence and couldn't out duel him while quigon coouldn't out duel him either.

K'Kruhk?
Ki-Adi-Mundi?
Shaak Ti?
Right.
WolverineNot only is this a shitty comparison... but it's a really shitty comparison. One, Dooku "pwned" Ventress with the Force while sitting on a planet steeped in the dark side, which made him more powerful than usual. Grievous is not a Force-sensitive, he does not fight with the Force. 'kay?
he defeated ventress that dooku pwned by lifting a finger
Two, being "pwned" by Dooku when he happens to be sitting on a planet steeped in the dark side, which made him more powerful than usual - notable, considering how powerful he usually is - isn't much of a mark against anybody.
Clear?
WolverineSee above, and nice ABC.
You forget that mace could easily beat kit fisto on any given day(and tooled palpatine)and he couldn't even break through qui gons defences.
WolverineGeneral Grievous begs to differ. Hint: He was trained in all seven forms.
Your also forgetting that kit fisto wields shii cho which is significantly weaker than the juyo form which maul was pushed "beyond the limit" to master.
Aside from being just plain wrong half your post, you are being a jackass. This is the second time Marvel has dropped an argument with you on account of your hostility, yet from what I've seen she's been nothing but civil in dealing with you. You're lucky that I'm the one catching these instead of REX, but if you do this again I will consider reporting you myself. We already have a number of members acting like blithering idiots half the time they're here, we don't need another one.
