Rebels Maul>TCW Maul?

I don't there's been a big change in his power level either way tbh.

Yeah, I find it strange when Maul fans deny they were fighting pretty evenly, when that's actually Rebel Maul's best feat.

Without that he's just the guy who can take out Inquisitors, but loses to a blind Kanan.

The barely fought on screen, you can't even come close to get a general idea of their standings out of that. Besides StarWars.com already confirmed Maul > Ahsoka so that's actually pretty good.

On fair ground, like most battle threads, Maul would destroy Kanan so you can't hold that against him.

The implication was they'd been fighting for over a minute without either of them gaining ground. That's actually a pretty nice feat for Maul given that's on Filoni's show, and Filoni is admittedly biased towards Ahsoka whom he's turned into a powerhouse.

It wasn't a strong enough confirmation on StarWars.com IMO

It's not about holding it against him. It's about what Rebel Maul's greatest feat is. According to you it's beating Inquisitors, and then ending his debut episode with a terrible low showing.

Yes it should be a one-off, but it'd be nice for them to have Maul easily beating Kanan & Ezra to show that was clearly a one-off case.

D. Thor continuing to embarrass himself.

No that wasn't the implication, we never see them starting to fight and looking at how they, like you said, have barely moved when the screen cuts back to them. Considering that when we actually see them fight they're moving all over the place and clearly aren't staying in one place at all, it's more likely they only recently started to fight and not for anything close to a minute.

A confirmation is a confirmation, little to debate about it.

It isn't a low showing if circumstances are involved, that's my entire point. You can't compare Maul losing to Kanan with him beating Inquisitors (or fighting with Ahsoka) because the context is entirely different.

Agreed, it would.

So DD, what were they doing for that minute and a half? Exchanging numbers?

Ahsoka likes her bad boyz

D. Thor just takes it. The lack of pride in certain people is astonishing.

Who cares what they were doing, assuming they were fighting, especially when evidence points out otherwise, is just based on personal interpretation and preference.

facepalm

While assuming they were not is to accept an incredulous and indeed illogical premise. Sry, I'll pass.

... Is Duelist really trying to say that Ahsoka and Maul stood around for a minute and a half?

No I'm not, just pointing out what evidence tells us.

PS It was a minute 😉

Wow. Dumb.

I'm telling ya, Maul was trying his luck before he started fighting her

I honestly think Maul actually became more powerful in Rebels. We see him wielding a brand new double-bladed lightsaber, which obviously means he at least to the liberty to build a new lightsaber, and I doubt he planned on building it without also planning to train and hone his skills somehow. This is made clear based on his definite advantage over the Inqs and his performance against Ahsoka.

^ True he seems to have kept up his skills. On the other hand we don't know how long he was stuck alone on Malachor, so he might have still been just a little off form. But up or down, there doesn't seem to be much of a power gap between TPM, TCW, SOD or Rebels Maul.

Btw is there anything in Canon stating TCW Maul > TPM Maul?

Because Shadow Conspiracy is Legends right? And IIRC that's the only source to place TCW Maul > TPM Maul.

Canon TPM Maul isn't that overwhelming since his feat of beating Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan is diminished. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan as of TPM have almost nothing in Canon.

TCW Maul stalemating Obi-Wan is a better feat.

It's a better feat to use for power scaling, yeah. But that doesn't necessarily make it a superior feat. Because TPM Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Having nothing impressive doesn't necessarily mean they Were nothing impressive.
