Kit Fisto vs. TPM Maul

I must confess, I'm more familiar with Canon Fisto than Legends (there are a couple books I am only familiar with, and have not read that include Fisto), but if I remember correctly, Legends Fisto had a sparring match with post-AotC Kenobi, correct? And during said sparring match, Fisto was the decisive victor. AotC Kenobi was far more developed than TPM Kenobi. TPM Kenobi was virtually Qui-Gon's eaual thanks to the young reader novels which cover Kenobi's training under Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon and Maul were also extremely close, with Maul edging out due to stamina, I believe.

So, Fisto>Post-AotC Kenobi>AotC Kenobi>TPM Kenobi~Qui-Gon<=TPM Maul.

By simple scaling, Fisto>>>TPM Maul.

Of course, looking at Canon, that story changes. We only really have Fisto's accolade from Mace in the Mace Windu comic regarding Fisto being "unrivaled", which, while clearly hyperbole, does let us know that Mace considers Fisto to be top-tier. And we have Fisto's showing against General Griecous, where he easily chops off a hand, scores a hit on Grievous' shoulder, and lands a Force push all in short order. And of course, Fisto blocking a few of Sidious' attacks before dying.

While Maul has many more showings, the only direct line osf comparison between the two seems to be Grievous and Sidious.

Maul has encountered Grievous three times in Son if Dathomir. Once, Grievous seems to easily defeat him. The second battle, Maul tackles Grievous and we don't really see any combat. The third time, Maul Force pushes Grievous without the two ever crossing blades. Maul's showing against Sidious is tricky to count, as Palpatine was clearly toying with the brothers at first, and Maul only really did well after his brother was killed in front of him. And even then, we know Sidious intended to take Maul alive to lure out Talzin, so we know he never actually tried to kill Maul.

Leaving just their performance against Grievous to compare the two in Canon. And on that front, I'd say Kit Fisto did better than Maul, in my opinion. We actually see him crossing blades with the cyborg general for a time, and Grievous never lands so much as a kick on Fisto. The same cannot be said for SoD Maul. And all indication seems to be that SoD Maul>>>TPM Maul, so there's no guarantee TPM Maul could even replicate the level of ability he demonstrated throughout the Clone Wars.

Ugh why is TPM Maul so underrated?

Because he’s trash people hear tier 8 and use it as their saving grace but smartbois know the tier system doesn’t count anymore so Maul is stuck with failing to stop a weist rocket, not blitzing Komari Vosa, not blitzing Qui-Gon Jinn, not blitzing TPM Kenobi

But getting blitzed by Siolo Ur’manka :/

That would imply Qui-Gon and TPM Kenobi are tiers below him. Even if they aren’t on his level which they weren’t they weren’t so far below him that he’d be expected to blitz them.

Yo but in Cestus Deception Fisto literally throws himself off balance and uses his off hand and Kenobi still admits he’s the better duelist :/

Maul was injured by a blaster when he beat Vosa

Doesn’t mean anything lol Sidious would still be able to blitz the B-team with a damaged arm

Assuming that Tiin and Kolar are looking at the traffic again of course

Maul beats him.

Obi-Wan and Kit had been engaged for an hour now, each seeking holes in the other's defense. Obi-Wan swiftly discovered that Kit was the better swordfighter, astonishingly aggressive and intuitive in comparison with Obi-Wan's more measured style. But the Nautolan gave himself deliberate disadvantages, hampered himself in terms of balance, limited his speed, emphasized his nondominant side to force himself to full attention, the kind of full attention that can be best accessed only when life itself is at risk. To relax and feel the flow of the Force under such stress was the true road to mastery.

-Cestus Deception

Kit Fistos Maul. 😎

Maul orgasms before he dies.

So I guess a pre prime Maul getting blitzed by Siolo means he is shit. Nevermind that he was still an apprentice. Nevermind that he fought and killed one of the best duelists in the history of the jedi order (Qui Gon). Lets all look at his low end feats

U need some Rule34 Maul Pr0n

Well of course TPM Maul > TPM Kenobi Lol I’m just saying that as of TPM both Jinn and Kenobi wouldn’t be expected to be stomped by Maul which obviously didn’t happen.

Actually, on neutral ground without Maul's prep and advantages, the TPM duo would beat Maul.

They wouldn’t

Well they might but it wouldn’t be through skill it’d be through numbers

Agreed.
