This is like the other duels...except you added a dark side nexus....
ok...to my understanding Obi Wan seems to have Maul's number in every duel...
he'll last long enough for Windu to help finish Maul....
Tyranus and Mace...is there Magna Guards,near by? to help him escape...like the last duel???
Both will benefit from the dark side nexus...Tyranus will get half of the boost instead of the full,
because I still don't believe Tyranus is full Sith(no yellow eyes)..
imo he is more full Dark Jedi Master pretending to be full Sith....
As far as Mace goes...he'll channel half of the Dark Side Nexus and use it against Tyranus...
Or channel Tyranus's Dark Side Nexus boost back at him...or both...
it won't take much and overwhelm Tyranus....
Tyranus and Darth Maul are good....they won't win all 3 tiers...may be 1but 3...
Even with home advantage....
I say Mace and Kenobi 2 to 1.....

Its far more likely Dooku simply masks his appearance similarly to how Palpatine does his. The man is very dedicated to his appearance, Dark Side wrinkles would hardly be something he'd abide by.

Or Dooku chokes Kenobi like he did in ROTS, then Dooku and Maul double team Windu.
So of you people crack me up and its as if you've never read a novel.. watched a cartoon or movie. Kenobi hung in or beat Maul and Savage at the same time... Yet there are some clowns that are acting like Maul just stomps all over kenobi. It's an absolute joke to even utter such words. In fact, Kenobi holds the most decisive victory of the two fighting eachother... you know.. that time he turned maul into a half pint midget as a padawan... I mean honestly.. Maul stomping kenobi is well past dumb and into hilarious category
Oh not this crap again:

Kind of like how Maul was stalemating/beating Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn at the same time.

You mean after Maul fought off both Kenobi and Qui-Gon together, and then killed Qui-gon and then disarms Kenobi and it ends with a surprise move on Maul. Yeah great 👆
Problem is DP.. I'm not the one saying Maul stomps Kenobi like I've see a few people say. You know that is a stupid stance, and yet, you said nothing. I don't care if people think Maul could win after a long tough fight, and while I don't agree, I could see that. This notion that Kenobi is the weak link and maul will just walk all over him is a joke.. plain and simple..

This I agree with. They've just fought too many times for anyone to be under the delusion that Maul stomps.
I personally see them as equals (which I have stated on countless occasions on these boards btw).
Maul's the Anti-Kenobi to me. Kenobi's not the most powerful Jedi, but he packs a punch and is the "perfect" Jedi so to speak. Same with Maul as a Sith.
They might("might" being the key word) be equals now but Kenobi has peaked, and Maul is nowhere near his peak.
Maul was scarily powerful for a Force user in his early 20s. He survived being bisected and spent the past 12-13 years living as an animal, and only a short while after regaining his sanity he was able to fight on even ground with opponents such as Kenobi and Ventress.
A few months after that he was able to hold his own against Sidious himself for a while. And in the deleted scene he was able to withstand Sidious' lightning and pin him to the wall with the Force.
People don't acknowledge how much of a prodigy Maul really is. Maul has all the right stuff to surpass even Sidious in power(though not in cunning). In fact not even the Chosen One, who shoots midichlorians out of his rear end, has displayed such a level of precociousness. In fact the only one who surpasses him in this department is Luke, and that happened decades ago when the Jedi were barely fleshed out and the Sith didn't even exist.

What makes you say that about Kenobi? Kenobi was still improving up to the end of the clone wars, as his fight with Anakin showed.

Uh, not really. I mean, he didn't increase that much from PM and his revival, and he had a lot of training before that point.
Sure, he improved, but it wasn't that giant a leap. Nor were his force powers too crazy.
I could see him eventually passing Sidious in dueling-but-not-force...
As for force users gaining power fast, consider Rivi-Anu. Holds up a Venator star destroyer as a just-promoted-from-Padawan knight.

Well that's probably to do with the fact that he wasn't exactly training in the years in between. Guy was just out of his mind crawling around on those spider legs.

He will have great potential, otherwise Sidious would never have wasted all that time on him. But still Sidious didn't seem totally satisfied that Maul was "the one." So he probably had potential to grow near Sidious level, but maybe not quite equal him.
But who knows how much potential Kenobi had as well. The guy was the Master of Soresu, and beating on foes such as Opress, Sith Skywalker, Ventress and Greivous before he even reached 40. And was stalemating Vader when he was in his late 50's after presumably being out of action for many years.

I almost spit out the water I was drinking when I read this... Is this sarcasm?
Well this part of your post is a bit out there:

You seem to be mistaking Maul for Starkiller or something. An easy mistake as both are voiced by Sam Witwer 😛

What makes it even more impressive is that Maul lost half of his body, and thus his potential.
While he was in his early 20s Maul dueled and killed one of the best masters in the Order. By comparisson, Plagueis for instance was in his 25th year of apprenticeship before his first mission, to assassinate a person he was sitting across the table from him, and wasn't even Force sensitive.
To put things in perspective, the current Maul is around 35 years old and rivals Dooku in power, who has about 90 years of Force training(13 of them as a Sith). With half-a-body at that.
It's scary to think what Maul would have been had he not been bisected in Theed, with his body intact and 13 more years of apprenticeship under Sidious.
Windu would've taken down Sidious/Palpatine plain and simple had he not had interference or had the need to bring him to justice. He's also great with his fists and his Force Jumping might work in his favor so he's basically the Jedi equivalent of Dooku/Tyranus.
Obi-Wan varies but he does the typical factor which is getting tossed around and then finally becoming the last man standing but if he has help from someone other than Qui-Gon, he's set to go me thinks.
This would be even more interesting if we had Yoda, Joruus C'Baoth or Darth Bane were in this match.
