Darth Maul (SOD) vs Peak Exar Kun (Sabers only)

- Start 20 feet away
- Takes place in Grievous' Lair

Maul gets his Dark Saber and Single Red Blade
Kun gets his Double-Bladed Saber

Maul

In terms of raw ability they're both as good as it gets, physically they're both top tier beasts. The only difference I see is in Kun's favour which is technical mastery and style.

Kek@Kun having more technical mastery or a style advantage against Maul. If anything, it'd be Kun being more powerful.

Kun has more strength in the Force, but not necessarily more raw power with respect to augmentation. Assuming he does, he probably wins, even if Maul has better physicals and impresses me more in terms of skill.

Exar Kun.

Either way.

Ancient Sith combat techniques combined with a unique Trakata/dual-phase variant of Niman saberstaff combat. Yeh, that with precog is an advantage.

That's a disadvantage, lmao.

Clearly not given the likes of Tulak Hord slaughtered armies with his skills. Traya states the ancient Sith make Kotor era swordsman look like children and Chris Avellone stated her assessment was accurate. With the Dark Holocron Exar Kun learnt designs for his weapon and Sith teachings he personally attributes his easy victory over Vodo to, as opposed to Kun usually being a peer of Vodo.

Unless Maul lives in KotOR II, that's the definition of a pointless observation.

Armies from the same era, that would be scaled accordingly, lmao, that's pointlessly circular.

Tulak Hord was super-awesome because he could use a lightsaber at all, people like Ragnos were still using swords.

Traya is significantly below any of the PT powerhouses as a duelist. She's also nitpicking like a small handful of ancient sith out of several thousand years.

Yes, but Maul comes with the training methods of one thousand years of iterative improvements from Bane to Sidious, and has potential to rival Palpatine's.

Making TOTJ/KOTOR era duelists look like children is absolutely a valid observation, it's a style Maul is not familiar with. If you don't agree then you're more than welcome to your opinion.

I'd side with Kun.

Except the Sith that Maul descends from is the same branch that the ancients like Tulak Hord, not Kun, descend from. There's no reason Kun should have some type of advanced style that Maul doesn't.

Kun
