Anakin's inconsistent. He certainly can get too powerful for Maul to handle. But on an average day It'd probably be quiet even tbh. Especially when we consider Maul's superior Tk abilities.

Against TPM Maul, RotS Anakin wins but not more than 8-10.

Against TCW Maul, Maul wins decisively.

Maul can't compete with his furnace heart, bro.

But Obi-Wan could?

I certainly don't see Maul decisively beating Anakin like Marco1907 suggests. But on any given day I definitely see it being an awesome fight. Especially given Maul's "consistently" superior TK showings.

I was joking, but Anakin didn't fight Obi-Wan the same way he fought Dooku. Especially towards the end. Against Maul, it's definitely sans morals, all out, at his best, for a forum duel anyway.

Well the OP does say ROTS Anakin. And let's face it, ROTS didn't just show Anakin beating Dooku. It showed Dooku handling Anakin and Kenobi at the same time. It showed Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting each other equally for minutes on end.

At the peak of his power/abilities I'm sure Anakin would trounce Maul. But on any given day I personally think it would be quite even.

RotS showed Anakin destroying Dooku. Even in the movie. The novel makes it seem that Anakin is dominating the entire duel. And then ending the duel in an instant just because he wanted to. 😬

I know that, but you seem to be missing my point. Which is that's not all that happened in ROTS.

What also happened?

1. Dooku (in the same fight mind you) handled both Kenobi and Skywalker together at one point. Choking Kenobi while flooring Skywalker. Skywalker was floored for a good 10 seconds btw, so if not for Kenobi that may have been an opportunity for Dooku to end Skywalker.

2. Skywalker fought evenly against Kenobi for several minutes.

So again like I've said a couple of times now, IF Skywalker is able to unleash his full power on Maul then Anakin tools Maul. However on any random day/moment, chances are this would be a damn good fight, seen as Maul is more consistent in his performances. Especially with his TK Showings.

Really not sure what you're arguing against here.

Anakin only defeated Tyranus via djem-so maneuvers which is only weaknesses of Dooku. Also Anakin lost to Dooku twice in TCW as well.

The reason I see Maul beats Anakin decisively is; Anakin has no tool to defeat Maul unlike the situation that he used his physical advantage & djem-so skills against Tyranus.

Tyranus was still better than Anakin in RotS.

@darth power

Don't you agree that Tyranus was more powerful than Anakin in RotS ?

I think he's above Anakin on a consistent basis.

TCW shows Anakin can give him trouble even in a one on one. And I believe Anakin can channel that extra power with which he's capable of defeating Dooku (as per ROTS film and novel).

But more times than not Dooku will win decisively or at least barely edge him out Imho.

He fought better against Kenobi than against Dooku. Compare choreography.

The Anakin and Obi-wan duo seems to underperform quite a bit for some reason. Especially in TCW.

Even then, Dooku isn't doing well against the pair. Yes both were knocked down, but Dooku's own thoughts make it clear that he is struggling the entire duel.

2. Skywalker fought evenly against Kenobi for several minutes.

Anakin is also more conflicted here. Anakin hasn't fully embraced the Dark Side and is emotionally torn, where as in the duel with Dooku, no such conflict. Anakin has no reason to fight Maul the same way he fought Dooku.

So again like I've said a couple of times now, IF Skywalker is able to unleash his full power on Maul then Anakin tools Maul. However on any random day/moment, chances are this would be a damn good fight, seen as Maul is more consistent in his performances. Especially with his TK Showings.

Because in a forum duel, you are supposed to assume that someone performs at the peak of their abilities unless otherwise stated. It doesn't really matter what your opinion on what would happen on, "Any given day," is because we're assuming this isn't every given day.

@Arheal:
Spinning more and twirling sabers around each other doesn't mean you fought better.
