Maul might have more feats but he was still never a truly top tier guy.

Is he even Dooku level?

What are Maul's best feats?
Based on the cinematic he comes across as a highly skilled and cunning swordsman with pretty decent combat-ready TK to boot. His ability to dual wield a lightsaber with a double-bladed lightsaber is pretty much unprecedented (and indicative of high level skills and an unorthodox style), he was doing extremely well against multiple Sith Lords, and was doing stuff like redirecting lightning from one sith and using it offensively against the other (successfully), and possessed the awareness and foresight to use a saber throw from a good distance away to parry an attack from Malgus that was probably about to deal a fatal blow to Satele.

It's not enough to take Maul, though.
Yeah, Kao doesn't stand a chance against Maul in any of the rounds save for the bonus one. Maul can't just ragdoll both with ease - it was likely that his Kenobi ragdoll wasn't necessarily easy either, and required some concentration. After all, even Dooku couldn't just easily ragdoll Obi-Wan - he did manage to push Obi-Wan in the RotS novel with a flick of his wrist, but only after gathering considerable Force energy, IIRC. Still, a combination of superior Force power, superior physical traits and superior skill could probably award Maul at least a couple of wins in the bonus.

Anyone going to post Maul's best feats? And how does TCW Maul compare to TPM Maul?
They're largely the same with the exceptions that TCW Maul is more powerful, driven/focused and uses his powers more directly.

Looked like he did it pretty effortlessly to me. But I agree with ILS.
Originally posted by ILSThis essentially, I wouldn't say Kenobi as a Padawan is better than Darach or Zallow but Jinn and Maul's significant increase in power more than balances is out. Although without a double bladed lightsaber he'd have a harder time of it... I'd assume Maul has his darksaber as well?

Think you might be overrating Qui-Gon a little (and I believe the novel states that Qui-Gon was no longer the warrior he once was). Darach was doing the same to a younger Malgus and his master, who was a highly respected Sith Lord and showed himself to be a very resourceful combatant (showing great application of Force Lightning mid-lightsaber duel, even catching Satele off guard at one point while not engaging her).
