Who is deadlier?

(AotC) Count Dooku -vs- Darth Maul (TPM)

Location: The Geonosian Hangar where Dooku fought Yoda.

Maul appears instead of Yoda, and he and Dooku fight to the death.

Who survives?

Maul has brute-strength advantage, Dooku has force advantage against this version of Maul. So split 5 / 5 IMHO.

Let's see what the masses think.

Dooku wins comfortably.

I would love to see that Maul wrecks Dooku like Savage Opress did though. But probably TPM Maul isn't physically strong as Savage (TCW Maul probably), but more skilled and faster, if Maul deflects his lightning I really don't see the scenario where Dooku outduels Maul, maybe he can push him or even choke him with the force, but maybe... TPM Maul has good TK defense and very durable as well.

I prefer maul... But dooku win with difficulty.... He iz able to cut maul light zaber with eaze...

And ? Cutting his lightsaber does not provide any win, Maul is just as good as with one lightsaber. He already dueled with Qui-Gon at tatooine with one lightsaber, and defeated amped Kenobi with one lightsaber as well.

Not to mention, Clone of TPM Maul defeated Vader after he cut his lightsaber in two, which means nothing.

I Know but then iz defenzif eeerr againzt dooku....??? Eeeeerrr...

It says Maul has better physical condition and Dooku has better force powers, it is not different than what I said.

However, it underestimates Dooku's weakness to physical and kinetic power and it also underestimates Maul's primary power which is physical and kinetic power.

Physical beasts like Maul and Savage are the worst enemies for that old man... Even inferior brother Savage Opress, -and this happened before his prime- he was able to overwhelm Dooku with one stroke.

Count Dooku wins with moderate difficulty.

Dooku 8-9/10. His bladework is only marginally superior, but he has a solid force advantage.

He'd only take TCW Maul 6-7/10 though.

Dude you need to reformulate this argument of yours about the kinetic power. The Physical one makes sense due to Dooku's age, but your kinetic power one is weak.

The word "weakness" isn't mentioned in the ROTS Novel with regards to Count Dooku. In fact the word "weakness" was only used for Djem So's lack of mobility on the same damn page as the quote you always repeat as proof of Dooku's apparent weakness.
And you need to stop focusing on this 1 stroke of Opress's that floored Dooku (only because he hit the wall behind him by the way), as if that's what would happen every time Opress traded blows with him. Really if anything it's Opress who also has the "lack of mobility" which is a MAJOR WEAKNESS for Dooku to exploit. And he did by constantly dodging his strikes. With Skywalker he exploited it by kick slamming him to the wall, knocking the wind out of him.

Now if you were to focus on the "physical" aspect and say something like "Dooku's shown a vulnerability to "physical" attacks likely due to his age. Whilst Maul excels at physical attacks.." then that's an argument some might be able to take more seriously.

Just my opinion bro.

Dooku is obvious superior.

I don't really see how Dooku is outdueling Maul, even his TPM version, even TPM Maul was superior duelist to AotC Kenobi and AotC Anakin and Maul has a solid physical strength advantage here, Dooku's only option here is choking him casually, but I don't see he is doing that easy or for a majority, Maul has already enough force power to dominate force senstive Silus, and TPM Kenobi, he survived via using the force, protect himself against Vader's force attacks etc.

Maul is the worst opponent for Dooku imo. But, that doesn't diminish Dooku's dueling skills which is defeating the likes of Kenobi or Ventress with moderate effort, TPM Maul probably can't defeat them (Kenobi or Ventress) with ease, he had to work harder than Dooku tbh.

If he cut maul light zaber it became a lot eazier !!!

Maul reziztance to the force and hiz agrezziv martial art make the combat a really cloze fight....

Well on one hand, TPM Darth Maul's feats mostly come from a shitty movie nobody likes, and his main supporter on this site overhypes him to no end. So based on that a lot of people could beat TPM Maul because he just inherently sucks.

Then on the other hand, he actually has sufficient feats to contend with Dooku and take at least 3 wins out of 10, maybe 4.

So yeah, it's really, really tough to pick which one of those logical routes to take. But I think will have to go with the latter.

I just read your Ulic respect thread, nice job.

His force power is actually quite impressive for someone we think of as a sabers only kind of guy.
