Originally posted by SheevTPM Maul hasn't been written "weaker". In fact, he is still stated to be "one of the deadliest, most efficiently trained Sith in the Order's history":
This.Really kind of strange how much weaker TPM Maul is in canon then he was in Legends. In Legends he was an absolute beast.
The difference is that TPM Maul hasn't been expanded on nearly as much in canon as he was in Legends.

Canon TPM Maul f*ucked up a rathtar...
He slaughtered a few of them with his h2h skills alone... While only using a goddamn axe.

But he also needed help against some hunters in the same series.Eh inconsistency will be inconsistent I guess....but yeah, Maul takes this.
That's probably because Maul didn't exert himself as much when he fought the Bounty Hunters, and they were in much greater numbers than the Rathtars IIRC. SW is weird in that regard, when Force users clash with non Force sensitives, they should be blitzing them but don't, I always chalk it up to the Force users not being arsed to tap into their Force reserves to do the blitzing.

I mean blitzing isn't the only way, but I guess. Still I feel like the writers always wanna show Force Users as powerful...but at the same time grounded, it was like that before too.
Then again, problem with multiple writers I guess...though if it's in the same series, it's weird.

Hunting the Rathtars was a physical feat. Whereas against the Hunters it's more about blaster deflection against greater numbers.
Sometimes feats need to be broken down like that.
But aside from that I wouldn't overthink it.

This isn't Ventress + Opress vs TPM Maul though, TPM Maul would honestly get creamed if Ventress and Opress teamed up against him, either can individually give him a good fight before getting hammered to their deaths.
If its a 3 way fight then its as weve already said, Savage is likely the first to die, Maul will be the winner.
I wouldnt count on that. He was a more than match for TPM Qui-Gon + Obi-Wan. He has the physical strength to take on both, and he will likely exploit Savages lack of skill.
Ventress and Opress combined would destroy Jinn and TPM Kenobi. Weaker versions of Ventres and Opress put Dooku on his ass for a moment, and Dooku had to spam Force Lightning to survive (something Maul doesn't bother using), and their combined fighting styles will just be a nightmare for Maul. Not seeing he beats both of them at the same time.
