What double standards? I supported my assertion with evidence that Revan's reputation is well earned. You clearly have no counterargument.

Do you think that Maul is all hype or does he actually have capabilities to completement his fearsome reputation?
What fearsome reputation? The Jedi didn't fear him.
Originally posted by Intrepid37 So you want me to judge Revan by the fact that he's never needed to do good stuff but clearly can? You masturbate harder to Revan than Dooku to Sidious.
You completely missed the point; did you see Revan
struggle to perform a feat with the Force? You have read the novel, right?
Nowhere during the events (covered by the novel) did Revan bring forth his maximum power on the table; not even during his confrontation with Vitiate.

Not really a baseless assumption. I have backed up my argument with clear force feats from canon sources, you have Scourge's and Surik's statement and then your opinion.
Feats alone do not prove relative strength of a character in comparison to others in the mythos.
Nihilus have incredible feats and he lost to duo of Meetra and Visas.
Similarly, Kao have decent feats and he lost to (young) Malgus.
Similarly, Din have decent feats and he lost to Bengal Morr.
Getting the memo?
Maul is simply better explored in the mythos in the context of Force powers then Revan. However, given the reputation of latter, he is likely to put Maul to shame in a showdown of Force powers. To give you an idea; Revan could collapse a building if he really wanted to with his TK abilities, as per Drew Karpyshyn. The author envisions Revan as a "very powerful Jedi."
Heck, Revan is touted as the Jedi Order's strongest champion:
Though the Mandalorian fought valiantly, in the end he was no match for the Jedi Order’s most powerful champion. (SWTOR: Revan)

You like to belittle the apprentice's statement but not Scourge's and Surik's because it suits your argument?
No, I pointed out the difference between Anoon's and Revan's respective standing within the lore. Again, what has Anoon done to complement his apprentice's touts?

It's not Yoda's perspective, christ. It's third pespective narration prior to his fight with Maul. The exact next line:But on this day, he had met his match. The Sith Lord he battled with Obi-Wan was more than his equal in weapons training, and he had the advantage of being younger and stronger.
Maul controlling the fight against Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan at the same time alone puts Maul over Revan in swordmanship.
Obi-Wan was just a padawan during that encounter.
Revan cut a swath through Sith forces stationed aboard the Star Forge; is this not an extraordinary display of skill and power?

Killing Grievous,
Obi-Wan killed Grievous with a blaster.

fighting even with Ventress and Maul, fighting even with Pre-Suit Darth Vader is above Revan.
Their is difference between fighting and winning, genius.
Ahsoka have also fought Grievous and lived. Would you consider her on par with Obi-Wan now?

Again: Revan hasn't bladework on Maul's level, like it or not.
Subjective speculation.

Cool. Maul destroyed the Black Sun's best warriors, survived, what, months without food or water fighting assassin droids, build a criminal empire so that Sidious thought of him as ''a rival to be destroyed''.
And these feats prove that he can rule a Sith Empire? Their is hell of a difference between managing a criminal organization and a Sith Empire.
Sidious regarded Maul as a rival because the latter was a logical threat to RoT and the former couldn't take chances.

Already did. Dry your eyes and come back.
Where?
- Destroying Black Sun's warriors is comparable to destroying Sith forces stationed aboard Star Forge?
- Lasting months without food or water is comparable to enduring 300 years of torture without food and water?
What else?

Absurd comparison. Prove it that Maul can unleash lightning.
Originally posted by Intrepid37
Apparantly you like to ignore canon evidence. He was an assassin, true, but fact remains that he was said to be one of the most dangerous and well trained Sith ever.
I am not ignoring canon evidence; I am critically evaluating the information that you are offering about Maul which hype his skill and power in contrast to his actual performance.
If Maul is so well-versed in the dark arts, then why have he not been able to unleash some signature Sith powers that many powerful Sith have demonstrated?
Originally posted by Intrepid37
Oh, and:a) Filoni's himself has said Maul is ''very well trained in all the ways of the Sith'' <- can't remember actual quote, he said it in an interview somewhere.

b) TCW Maul is even more powerful than his TPM-self:Maul had grown more powerful since the last time he’d been in Sidious’s presence, before the Neimoidian invasion of Naboo had turned disastrous and Obi-Wan had bested him inside the Theed power core. His hermitage on Lotho Minor, his lessons on Unbara, his restoration by Mother Talzin, and his training of Savage had all strengthened him, made him a more worthy vessel for the dark side to fill with its power.
And he still couldn't subdue (Jedi Master) Obi-Wan? In comparison, Dooku have humiliated Obi-Wan like how many times?

-Shadow Conspiracyc) Maul is a master of Juyo which requires him to be a ''high-end master of multiple forms''.
Revan is also skilled in all forms of lightsaber combat, as per Drew Karpysyhn.

Couple that with his feats of beating Qui-Gon, Bondara, Opress, fighting evenly with Obi-Wan, the quotes for being one of the most dangerous Sith in history, multiple ragdollings and other good force feats, it's pretty damn explicit.
- Maul had clear win over Qui-Gon. And Qui-Gon have defeated/subdued any powerful opponent before?
- Bondara fell due to the blast.
- Opress is not an expert swordsman.
- Obi-Wan isn't the top duelist of the Order.
- Hyperbole
- Feats based argument already addressed and put to rest.

That was a not real Maul.
Originally posted by Intrepid37
Either way, my point stands: Maul is far stronger physically.
Revan pack much greater raw power. He doesn't needs immense physical strength to be an overwhelming combatant.
