Obi Wan Kenobi (ROTS) VS Darth Maul (TCW)

Who would win

Obi-Wan.

Maul really should win. But I'm not sure he will.

Maul with difficulty

Kenobi is maddeningly underrated. He wins with extreme difficulty.

I'll give it to Kenobi by a margin.

Hardly. The two of them are equals, I could even argue Maul is superior easily.

I meant by a slim margin. Perhaps I should've specified.

Obi-wan hands down, but its in no way a 'stomp' by either of them. good fight by the by

I don't even see how you could even concretely give either of them the win tbh, much less hands down. Ironically enough, though I voted Kenobi, Maul actually has the better feats of the two. Obi's performance against the brothers in Revival are really the basis of my decision.

Same here, though to be fair, he was kinda of struggling against Maul when Maul employed dun moch(a variation of it maybe?) against Kenobi during their duel(the one were Ventress helped Kenobi) so it might go both ways tbh

Kenobi takes it, his Soresu allowed him parry even the raw power of a bloodlusted Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar. Anakin's emotional state may have affected his precision and finesse, but if anything it likely increased the power behind his blows. If Kenobi can last several minutes against Skywalker taking blow after blow, parry Grievous' 20 blows per second, I don't see Maul getting through his defense. Furthermore, although Maul traditionally defeats Kenobi in TK, in the most recent Clone Wars season he does deflect a TK from Dooku (albeit with Skywalker's help, still though its Darth ******** Tyranus here) and on Mustafar he does deflect Anakin's TK. Granted Anakin's focus was way off, I can't see Skywalker's TK power dipping down below his AOTCs self.

This is all subject to change given Maul's upcoming performance against Dooku in Sons of Dathomir.

I give Kenobi the edge in pure Sabers and Maul the slight edge in an all out. Either way it's going to be a very hard fight. I think both characters are underrated as combatants tbh.

😕

No he doesn't. Kenobi defeating Anakin is easily a better feat than anything Maul has done.

What?

Kenobi should win this.

What?

Maul is his superior with the Force and is his equal with a blade. He should have the edge, but he doesn't for some reason.

Kenobi and Maul are roughly equal in TCW. Kenobi as of RotS will take this though.

How exactly do you figure Maul is Kenobi's equal with a blade? Kenobi has always been depicted as having the slight edge in that area.
