Maul deflected Sidious's lightning in deleted scenes and pinned him down. Well you can ignore the TK feat but Maul certainly can deflect lightning,
Considering both of their feats, Krayt's TK is not better than Maul's, I say they are matches at that good.
Maul certainly can be a good match for Krayt, adding Savage is secures the victory.

Actually, I think we can ignore everything from a deleted scene that hasn't even been properly edited/created.The TK feat is just a proof of why this version of the fight is completely trash.
But they certainly did something there, I mean why did they change their battle location ?
That scene can add to blu-ray edition.
I'm not saying Krayt wins or anything. Just that that scene looks pretty stupid to me and can't be the proof of Maul's capability of resisting Sidious' lightning. Even if the scene were to be taken seriously, we all know that Sidious was toying with them so there is no reason to believe that he went all out with his lightning there.

Why? Sidious was caught off guard, it happened to Vitiate too.
Revan hurled Vitiate back while the latter was focusing on dominating the former's mind. Maul, on the other hand, pinned Sidious to a wall, and the latter was unable to get free, not to mention that he wasn't distracted. Huge difference. Good thing that this portion of the fight was removed.

On YOUR site, people are claiming ROTS Sidious can 1v3 speedblitz Nihilus, Talzin and Vitiate, the latter 2 of which have prep. So lol.
Secondly, you could not list one speed feat for any of those characters that would allow them to keep up with or perceive Sidious. Anakin has seen sub-light ships moving in slow motion, and has speed feats like appearing to be in multiple places at once, yet Sidious was moving too fast for him to perceive properly. Likewise, Sidious has moved faster than Maul can see several times. To say Nihilus, Talzin or Vitiate can do any better is wishful thinking at best.
I didn't say anything about winning. I'm no expert on any of those characters and I don't pretend to be. I'm simply saying that Sidious can fight faster than any of them can perceive with a lightsaber, at least going by Legends Canon standards. You can call me crazy but I don't see what's so unreasonable about what I said.

Yes, but these people are vastly more powerful than Maul, especially Nihilus in my opinion. Besides, Sidious speedblitzing Anakin is a direct contradiction of the movies, considering that the latter wasn't there during Palpatine's fight against Mace.

I'm honestly done with the "but it didn't happen in the movies" "it's different in New Canon" BS people bring into Legends debates. In the RotS novel, which is canon to some degree, Sidious moves faster than Anakin can see. It's a different depiction of the event from the movie but it's still a depiction nonetheless. And there are other examples of Sidious moving too fast for characters to see, i.e, Fisto, Kolar, Tiin, Windu, Maul...
