How Powerful is Maul in Relation to Dooku?

As the title asks, how close is Maul to Dooku in sowrd-skills and Force power really?

Moderately close in his prime.

In swordsmanship they're pretty damn close, and I don't really see that much of a disparity at all.

In Force power, I favor Dooku since I believe his cruiser feat does put him noticeably above Maul in TK (even if I don't hold that feat to the same lofty ideal some others seem to).

Hmm. Maybe my analysis of Maul is a bit skewed after all.

Quite a bit behind.

Not in the same tier as an overall combatant; pretty close in pure sabers, with the biggest disparity being in Force knowledge and applied combat effectiveness.

not very 😛

Same tier in Force and skill, honestly.

Is inferior, but by how much is debatable.

Maul's physical peak was in those Chicken legs IMO. So by Revival when his power and skill had grown tremendously since his resurrection (according to Savage), I can see that Maul giving Dooku a very difficult time, perhaps even beating him.

After those legs were blown off though he was always solidly below Dooku IMO.

vastly inferior

Depends on your metric for sword skills. As a pure fencer, Dooku's noticeably better. Adding in Maul's martial arts and physicality (however overrated I find them to be), and he's quite close. Enough to pressure the Count considerably, but not enough to really win for more than 2 or 3 out of 10 rounds at best.

With the Force, Dooku's on an entirely different level - both with respects to effective power and general Force mastery.

That's why I think Maul with the huge robotic legs would be the closest. Such huge physical strength would benefit him a lot against Dooku.

Very close as lightsaber combatants and Force users, Dooku's cruiser feat is a persasuive argument for him being more above Maul in the Force, but Maul's gross superiority to Savage balances it out imo.

^ Of course that gross superiority over Savage was with the Chicken legs 😉

His legs don't give him power you fugg.

They give him strength, strength... Makes him stronger.. Give him harder kicks, makes him harder..

Equal as a swordsman, behind in the Force.

With or without chicken legs, he stomped Savage either way since he already had him at his mercy after disarming him
