Looks like the cut was a bit higher on Snoke. It also diced his hands off if you look closely.
Don’t think Maul survived because he still had hands.
Being a bit higher? Meh maybe. Just saying. Their end (on the big screen) was almost identical, but one carried on, the other too dead to even blink.
It's really hard to judge Snoke's real power. A movie strongly suggests that both, Rey and Ren would be unable to beat Snoke. On the other hand, episode VIII starts not so long after VII. And Snoke considers Kylo as unstable child, which was defeated by a girl, who was holding lightsaber for a first time. And... that's actually true.
Episode VIII Ren is nearly the same Ren as we seen in EVII. Rey's training was rather short and pathetic. She was a capable fighter, but nowhere near to a Jedi masters.
Luke was also far from his prime. Snoke noted that Kylo is far(?) below Vader as well.
Snoke might be superior to Sidious, as well, as he could be inferior to Vader, Dooku or, honestly, even Maul. After TCW it should be clear, that you can overhelm superior enemy, if you will catch him off-guard. I'm one of those persons, who takes that deleted scene from Maul vs Sidious fight as a canon.
Originally posted by The MerchantThat is like saying General Hux is more competent at commanding the First Order than Kylo therefore he beats him in a fight.
Maul survived getting bisected and falling kilometers down a pit. That feat is confirmed requiring supreme power in the Dark side and mastery. Snoke just died. Maul>Snoke.
Are you ten years old ?
Vader was killed by force lightning therefore he's weaker than someone who doesn't die after a few seconds of fl. That's irrelevant. Yoda died to old age therefore he's the worst. For ****s sake your logic is retarded and irrelevant.
