Prodigal Knight Revan & Barsenthor II vs Darth Maul & Darth Nihl

Oh, so Maul's dueling skills will make up for him being severely outmatched in power, according to you anyway, and his lackluster backup?

First of all this idea that Maul is "severely outmatched" in the Force, when he's capable of ragdolling Kenobi, blitzing Savage, and surviving bisection is rather absurd. Revan is not dominating Maul is this category, nor will he have much opportunity when thoroughly pressed in sabers. And considering Maul's immense endurance capabilities, it's unlikely that Revan's offensive powers will do any lasting damage.

On the other hand, Maul is just better than KOTOR Revan as a duellist. Significantly better. And as far as Force augmentative physicals go, Maul has superhuman ability in that regard without drawing on the Force (see Maul: Lockdown), his TPM clone defeated Legends Vader through superior speed/agility and he has even pressed Sidious with his strength. So I don't see Revan overwhelming him in that department.

Yah, Maul could definitely defeat KOTOR Revan, and either way it will be a brutal engagement, not a stomp.

P.S. As far as his "lacklustre backup" is concerned, Darth Nihl is more than capable of contending with the Barsen'thor. As you would expect the third strongest member of the One Sith, who oneshotted Kol Skywalker and choked out Cade, to be. 👆

Personally, I don't think Malak is more powerful than Maul, you do. So the idea that Revan doesn't outstripe Maul in just about every Force related category would only make sense her given Malak's superiority as a duelist compared to Revan. And while ragdolling Kenobi is something that no one has ever done ever, and while Savage is the pinnacle of all dueling skill, I'm simply trying to understand your thoat process.

That is not what we are dealing with here. Revan may be firmly above Maul as a Force user in all comparable respects, but he's not outclassed.

Given how N-Canon that comic seems now

and how Maul obviously isn't stronger than Sidious with the completely Legends applicable TCW showing Sidious fending off both Maul and Savage at the same time, and the fact that Maul lost to Vader, I'm not sure why this matters.

And losing to Vader also doesn't at all detract from the fact he displayed superior agility.

Nice job overlooking his pre-prime Lockdown showings though i.e. his best ones.

You mean the one that needed an army to back him with Kol and got destroyed along with Talon by Cade? No, he can't contend with the Barsen'thor.

He's also a better duelist than the Barsen'thor, so yes he can contend.

Yeah that Maul vs Vader fight is bullshit tbh. I've come across a source saying that never actually happened.

To be "severely outmatched" in the Force to such an extent that Maul's duelling skill becomes irrelevant and the fight a "stomp" would be the difference in power between Ventress & Dooku, ragdoll capability implied.

Naturally you can confirm this some kind of proof or reasoning.I don't recall claiming that Maul was stronger than Sidious lol. And as far as the TCW fight goes, the Brothers are described as straining Sidious with their strength in the novel depiction and was in part was what I was referring to.

And losing to Vader also doesn't at all detract from the fact he displayed superior agility.

Nice job overlooking his pre-prime Lockdown showings though i.e. his best ones. Slice it however way you want but Kol was hardly defenseless.

And he didn't get stomped by Cade, he was defeated after a drawn out fight where Cade drew heavily on the dark side in the bowels I believe of a Sith temple.

He's also a better duelist than the Barsen'thor, so yes he can contend.

Barsen'thor would annihilate Nihl before Maul defeated Revan, or Revan would beat Nihl before the Maul vs. Barsen'thor fight ends, so either way Team 1 wins.

Maul isn't replicating Revan's Star Forge slaughter. He's not so far above Malak that he could beat him greatly amped, multiple times and after fighting through that level of opposition.

A guy who can oneshot a Skywalker is a weaklink? Now I've seen everything.

Compared to the Barsen'thor. She did beat an ancient sith lord who was amped by hundreds of Jedi Masters. While weakened. After fighting through legions of troops and alchemically enhanced soldiers. After tanking an explosion that obliterated a blast door to the face. After defeating her possessed Jedi Master. After giving said master some of her power. In Act 1.

(I think I got that right)

I'm sure Beni has a good argument for Nihl being a better duelist than the Barsen'thor that doesn't involve Kol and Cade's last name being Skywalker.

Maul's a pretty huge powerhouse in the force as well, don't forget.

Also, Darth Nihl cheap-shotted Kol Skywalker from behind.

- Most powerful Force-user in the galaxy with exception of Valkorion?

What? Endgame Revan is not a master of the dark side. He barely remembers being a Sith Lord.

Again, what? We're talking about KOTOR Revan here, lad. He's no where near Valkorion at this point.

Revan had his "new understanding" of the Force at the end of KotOR as noted in the novel, and Scourge held him above all others in the Empire.

1. Most powerful member of the Jedi Order
2. Champion of Light
3. Stronger then ever before

He visited Korriban and completed Sith trails.

Revan, at this point, was:

1. Most powerful member of the Jedi Order
2. Champion of Light
3. Stronger then ever before

The fact that he completed hs trails does not mean he is a master of the dark side. He was always holding back, he never actually basked in darkness or anything. He was a pretend Sith. Being a master of the dark side means you have nothing to hold you back, you have no morals, you want power, control, you manipulate, you murder, you're merciless. Revan at no point during his trails was he even close to this.

1. Does not mean he was even close to Valkorion.
2. So? Satele was also a Champion of the Light. Does that mean she's on par with Valkorion?
3. So? Endgame KOTOR Revan is still not the most powerful version of himself, not by a long shot and no where near Valkorion.

1. He never was.

2. He never was anyways.

3. He never was or would become.
