I'm just stating the facts. Maul's staff is based on Zabrak tradition, suggesting a deep connection between using dual-blade and Maul.
Regardless, the title has DD in the title. It should be obvious we're talking Canon only. Composite doesn't exist and is made up by fans who want to unfairly support certain characters by using material from two different mediums.

Zen, just because we don't see it explitcly stated or it isn't shown doesn't mean we can't use common sense. Regardless, Maul turning the tide was because he got over surprise and started feeding off Kenobi, not because he preferred a single saber.Still, his choice to fight with only one vs qui-gon raises the possibility he only considered using dual blades advantageous when facing multiple adversaries
Common sense to what? Maul seemed perfectly fine using a single blade in TPM, it doesn't need to be his preference but that doesn't mean he's suddenly lost if he only has a single blade. Why does there need to be a disadvantage anyway?

Maul used both blades against Vosa, Anoon Bondara, Darsha Assant, and Qui-Gon+Kenobi. He used it once in his brief 1v1 with Qui-Gon. And in the comics against non-Force wielders he always used two blades. It's clear he used two blades much more.

Well apparently Ventress is just as pathetic.
I agree though, that any Jedi/Sith worth a damn should be fully adept at wielding a single Saber.
Heck skilled users like Fisto and Kenobi can quickly switch from their orthodox weapon to expertly wielding dual Sabers.
