This was actually exactly why, and its noted that the shortness of the fight is because both are very good fighters:

So kenobi 's edge vs maul should be only marginal and maul logicaly is at his prime at this point

Maul is at his prime when he lost to Kanan and then gets ****ed in 3 moves? Lmao

People just need to accept Maul sucks

-gained knowledge and was collecting sith holocrons
-showed new kinds of abilities to an extent no other version of maul has shown
-fought evenly with someone who could contend with vader in his prime and who as a padawan was challlenging the likes of grevious
-voice actor claims he's at his peak
-is implied by feloni to have improved along with kenobi as a duelist

What has tcw maul done that suggests otherwise?

Maul's voice actor says that he's past his prime.

Learning new abilities doesn't put you in your prime at all. Legends Ben Kenobi deteriorated despite learning new abilities.

The quote wasn't referring to combative power iirc.

And no, it alone doesn't but it implies power growth which would have to be negated by him detoriating as a duelistwhich there's no evidence of(fighting evenly with a challenge for prime vader>losing with favorable circumstances vs tcw kenobi imo.)

Additionally feloni also implies that maul grew as a duelist with his and kenobi's shorter fights being attributed to them being very good duelists(which would imply they weren't as good when their fights were longer.

Well, I found it yesterday and got told "no shit" so I didn't post it. And people want it when I've forgotten what thread it was in.... 😬

I'll try to find it.

Found it:
But he’s not ready to change his ways yet …

Witwer:" He has this ambition that still exists inside him and that ambition is eating him up –especially now that he’s past his prime and his glory years. Yeah, he’s a sadder character than we perhaps remember in Clone Wars."

Given the context of this quote, "past his prime" isn't referring to combative power, especially when earlier quotes from witwer imply combative growth. Its in the context of glory and ambition which has gone from ruling the galaxy, to looking for kenobi.

As with florrum, people are just taking crap out of context
