Kyle Katarn vs. Darth Maul

Kyle at his peak. (what do you think that was/is?)
Vs. Maul.

Kyle Accolades: Defeated Jerec in the Valley of the Jedi, Defeated Tavion, Defeated Desann.
Considered a threat by Caedus, I believe is the blade-master of the NJO?

Maul: Didnt defeat Bondara, but knew he was going to. Defeated QGJ,
Defeated the Padawan chick from Shadow Hunter...

Kyle. Damned if I know anything beyond Outcast, but defeating two Dark Jedi like Jerec and Desann was pretty freaking good considering his lack of training. And being the NJO battlemaster and a threat to Caedus. Dude. Dude!

Good thread.

I shall ponder this further...

Im going darth maul but its going to be tight

Actually, I'm not sure about this.

Not sure about what

About who wins.

Kyle.

Maul may have only had one blade and was overconfident but he still got PWNED by Obi-Wan.

Kyle takes this.

my personal opinion leans towards Kyle as well, but I see it as very close. Kyle's willingness to use force-lightning might prove the difference here.

I'd like to see some of Kyle's feats or accolades. I'm not convinced by his defeat of Jerec or his disciples; it's indicative of remarkable natural skill, but unless there is some sort of novelization or cutscenes that show otherwise, those battles qualify as "unknown," just like any other video game protagonist.

Its the usual disconnect of fighters from different eras. But both Jedi Knight and Jedi Knight 2 have accompanying books. I don't have them, but I've read them, thought long enough ago that I wasn't taking special note of character descriptions.

He was mentioned in conjunction with Kyp in Backlash however, in a quote that insinuated that they were close to the same level.

Who was?

Kyle was.

Oh, my bad, I thought you said Kyle twice.

Yes this always proves that anyone anywhere beats maul.

Read TPM book it say there that. Obi wan tapped into the dark side and got lucky when he was facing darth maul

i'd say kyle

doing a front flip over someone and cutting then half faster then they can react is skill and speed, not luck

Maul was just stupid. Kyle's a smart guy. Ergo Kyle>Yoda.
