He also didn't try to ragdoll him, despite easily being capable of it. So that doesn't really establish anything.

That I can buy, given that even Maul can take out Opress in a few seconds, it would be silly to think Sidious can't blitz Opress.
But then Filoni's comments about doing better than the Council were aimed at Opress's performance. So I dunno, the 2 on 1 was probably pretty legit, with Opress being useful as backup, but useless on his own.

By your logic I could say: given that Johny punched Andy in the face, it would be silly to think Dilan can't outrun Andy.

Maul executed a technique successfully, which is not a demonstration of superior speed.
Well it was far superior skill (and enough strength to do that to a beast like Savage). In Sidious's case he stronger than Maul at least just as skilled, and faster. So I'm just saying I can see Sidious taking Opress out pretty quickly in a one on one. Dooku also had no trouble taking Opress in seconds in their one on one. It's his lack of skill. He seems to be much more helpful as back up. Back up to Ventress against Dooku. Back up to Maul against Sidious.
His tremendous strength probably causes difficulty to an opponent already in the midst of dealing with another opponent.

The fact that he managed to do it within few seconds doesn't make it more impressive either as successful technique can occur at any moment in any given fight. A fight between two world's best boxers can end in first few seconds, doesn't mean one is significantly better than the other.
Well it depends. I wouldn't expect Obi-Wan to take out Savage THAT Fast because Obi-Wan is a defensive fighter, and probably doesn't have the physical strength to take Opress out with one arm twist and one kick.
I personally think if someone can find an opening in my technique and take me out in a few seconds, that would impress me more than someone who spends a minute taking me out.
And with Boxing a knock out punch can come any time, but if 1 opponent wins in the first few seconds of the first round then I don't think anyone would call that close.

Marco, I'm just curious, where do you rank Maul in terms of canon fighters?1. Sidious
2. Yoda
3. Mace
4. Maul?I know you've said Mace>Maul before.
1_2_3 - This can be change, Sidious - Yoda - Mace
4_5 - TCW Maul - Dooku
6_12 - Obi-Wan - Anakin - Savage - Asajj - Grievous - TPM Maul - (maybe Kit Fisto)

Putting Maul over Dooku and Anakin is lolworthy.
Go watch the f*** movie, Obi-Wan kicked Anakin's ass.
And I didn't put Maul over Dooku, same level (4_5), it can go either way.
*Sigh
It is really hard to explaining things to you... My propose, don't read my posts, because you don't have the capacity to understand.
Originally posted by ArhaelThat's because his intent wasn't stated at all in that line.
"Meanwhile, Sidious duels the Sith brothers, never wavering from his position of superiority. Fueled by the dark side, Sidious is transformed into an agile, whirlwind of destruction".Whirlwind of destruction doesn't sound like toying or holding back. At all.
Don't be an idiot.
