TCWs Luminara and Barriss vs. TPM Maul

Who takes this?

Luminara and Barriss.

Barris is the weak link imo, TPM Maul is more skilled in beating Xanatos and holding his own against Maul. He should be able to kill her without issue, and then take Luminara with mid difficulty at most.

TPM Kenobi blitzed Maul, Luminara speedblitz for the win. (This should be the right answer for you and Trocity.)

Is this Bariss from Season 5? Otherwise, Maul wins.

I don't see why Maul wouldn't be able to separate them like he did Jinn and Kenobi, or Mace and Aayla.

Mace and Aayla is a laughable example and Luminara is a master of Soresu, the very form that Kenobi picked up to answer for the weaknesses that lead to Qui-Gon's death. Luminara would last long enough for Barriss to come in and help her.

Luminara & Barriss' orgasmic synergy in combat makes me think Maul probably wouldn't be able to seperate them.

Kicking Aayla Secura off of her feet whilst dueling someone who is several tiers above both Luminara and Barriss is a laughable example? Nah man.

I mean, great, she is a master of Soresu. How does that prevent her from being separated from Barriss? Jinn is on-par or superior to Luminara, and Kenobi at this time is probably superior to Barriss or at the very least in her ballpark, and they have superior synergy to the pair in this thread as well. Maul was anticipating their attacks with ease and leading them around the battlefield at his own discretion. Why can't Maul just kick Barriss into unconsciousness or stun her long enough to get Luminara on her own and take her out? Luminara isn't invincible either, Ventress has found success against her with a kick that sent her flying, and Maul is at least as good a martial artist as Ventress with far greater striking power.

Also, the thing that's really laughable here is Lord Stark's half-assed Maul hating spree he's been on today. Between deeming Maul as inferior to AotC Kenobi to attempting to create a spite thread that he's one sidedly arguing in..... pretty dire form, man. I think you should quit while you're ahead.

Good points, but where are you getting Jinn/Kenobi > Unduli/Offee in the synergy arena. Genuinley curious.

Because they can anticipate each other's moves perfectly, as per TPM novel.

Barriss being able to copy Luminara move for move while killing droids has little to do with having perfect synergy in a duel. When you're dueling people as a duo you don't copy everything the other does or you get in their way. So really you haven't proven that they have perfect synergy, just that they use similar moves.

And even if I gave you the benefit of the doubt that they had perfect synergy, it's not like that helped Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon, who at the very least match Barriss and Luminara as a duo.
