DE Sidious vs. Maul, Dooku and Vader

The most powerful incarnation of Sidious versus his three powerful apprentices.
Will the Emperor prevail or the apprentices will end their master?

All combatants at their peak.
Setting: Forests of Endor

1) Sabers
2) Force
3) All-out

Not sure who wins, but Maul's pretty much a non-factor here.

I think he's of some use in Sabers only.

Welll, Vader would be a non-factor in sabers.

😬

Maul would be a non-factor in sabers. Vader is often underestimated imo.

Maul would be a non-factor in sabers... if he has to take the brunt of Sidious's attack. If he engages when Sidious is occupied, then he can be useful.

Given that he's the weakest on the field by far, I don't see why Sidious wouldn't simply eliminate him from the start.

In sabers Maul vs. Vader ends up with Maul taking it.

I agree that Sids can try to take Maul out as soon as the fight starts. Not sure how much it will help him though...

Except this fight has actually happened and Vader won. he

He's fast enough he stands a reasonable chance of being able to avoid a blitz. I almost said "stay back behind the others," but I can't see that flying with the other two.

Sidious definitely should- that's why he went after Windu's crew first after all, Fisto could be dangerous as an assist even if he was easily soloed- but it might be harder to pull off here.

If your talking about the comic where a Maul clone is brought to life to fight Vader then... Maul won the Saber portion of the fight, Vader won by stabbing a whole through him and Maul.

IMO Maul is seriously underestimated around here. He is a Sith Lord after all.. Thats not a title Sidious would give lightly.

He is a Sith Apprentice. Its much more dismissive than Lord. And Vader is obviously a Lord though because I say so. Maul lost to a padawan. And even if Vader stabbed himself he still won.

Point is Vader didn't beat him via Superior Saber combat. If anything Maul was shown to be superior in that regard.

No he didn't.

I might be confused, but Vader killed him with his lightsaber while they were in direct combat correct? It seems to me thats what it means to defeat someone in lightsaber combat, don't you agree? So therefor you lose and neener neener neener, don't you think?

Do I really have to send you a link to ROTJ?

Vader got his ass handed to him by a Padawan.. At least Maul got taken by surprise, what's Vader's excuse?

Oh God! Ok Vader won due to his superior lightsaber technique of stabbing himself to get Maul.

Cold-blooded Ingenuity is superior technique. Same reason why you'll learn to attack a person's eyes and groin in Gung Fu.

Some see it as dirty-fighting, but it's actually superior use of combative technique.

'I am a Jedi, like my father before me.'

'Your skills are complete..... indeed you are powerful, as the Emperor has forseen.'

'I am Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight.'

Luke wasn't a Padawan. Plus he's, y'know, Luke mother****ing Skywalker.

Yup.

We're always two sides of the same coin, aren't we? 😛
