Darth Maul vs. Prince Nuada

Darth Maul gets something like his twin light sabers, except it has extremely sharp katana blades at the ends instead of light sabers.

Nuada gets his spear, except in this scenario it's magical properties are removed (it can't regrow broken blades and can't change it's length).

Both weapons are considered indestructible.

Darth Maul is not able to use long-distance force powers like telekinesis or that electricity-lightning attack. He's allowed precog.

Round 1: Darth Maul can't use his force powers to amp his physical stats (like jumping extreme amounts of distance).

Round 2: Darth Maul can use his force powers to amp his physical stats.

Fight to the death. Who wins?

Maul wins.

Maul barely used his abilities in his fateful fight.

Nuada in both.

I think Maul would have had a much more impressive first fight against a drunk Hellboy(who Nuada only defeated with the blade shard), and a fresh Hellboy at the end who was pretty much on the defensive and running away because he didn't want to hurt Nuala.

Seriously. For a warrior prince with thousands of years of fighting under his belt, Hellboy put up damn good fights despite no formal training in bladed weaponry.

It's called gimping the villain. The villain who should be leagues better than the hero still for some reason gets defeated by the hero simply because, well, the villain should lose to the hero. Don't forget that Maul was beaten by a padawan.

Maul was beaten because he was so certain Obi had died, he didn't bother to check. He got taken by surprise, and even though I admit it was a dumb way to get killed, it was simply because he got cocky.

Nuada died because Nuala killed herself, but it was obvious he wasn't going to just beat Hellboy on speed and skill, because while Nuada was trying to kill Hellboy, Hellboy wasn't trying to do the same to him.
