Where do they fall!?. Get fullrest in between eachmatch

2.Kit Fisto/Plo Koon
3.Count Dooku/Qui Gon Jinn
4.Mace Windu/Shaak Ti
5.Anakin/Kenobi
6.they clear
Taay'hai
1. Maul stomps Grievous, Savage stomps Ventress
2. Maul toys with Kit Fisto, Plo Koon gets wrecked
3. Qui-Gon is killed by Savage, Maul lives and Dooku dies trying
4. Maul gives Mace one hell of a fight, Savage barely wins, Mace dies
5. Tie
Vensai
Stop at 5 for sure.
Quigon and Shaak Ti are severe weak links.
Zett
1. Grievous/Ventress:
Well, none in team 1 is even able to take any advantage over Savage. And Mauls is quite better then his brother. So its a stomp.
2. Kit Fisto/Plo Koon:
Well, Kit lost to Ventress, and he's in the same league with her, I think. Plo is a bit better with both, force and sabers. He even forced Ventress to flee with broken arm. But he lost to Savage. So, even if Plo is somehow able to fight with Savage as equal, then again Maul's superior skill is deciding point. It's stop or almost stomp again.
3. Count Dooku/Qui Gon Jinn:
Qui-Gon was one of the finest swordsman in order, and was able to press on Maul during their fight on Naboo. He did better against Maul then Savage in my opinion (imo TPM Maul's saber skill are very equal to TCW Mauls's - TCW version is just much better with the force). Dooku on the other hand is strongest person here - with both, sabers and force. And this duel might be different then the others - in my opinion it wouldn't be 2x 1v1. Dooku can engage Maul in sabers, and helps Qui-Gon with Savage by using his force FL or TK. In place with a lot of space, Dooku might be even able to defeat both brothers by his own. Despite all of this, Dooku and Qui-Gon might be a nice team, with great teamwork. So Dooku and Qui-Gon take this.
4. Mace Windu/Shaak Ti:
Well, I don't hold Shaak Ti is such high esteem like most of you guys. I think she's below Kolar, Fisto, Koon, Bulq. Anyway, she's much better then Adi, so maybe she might be able to hold Savage for a while. Mace can kill Maul, but im not sure if he will do this fast enough. Yeah, Shaak Ti is weakest link, and it can go either way. Mace lacks better force feats, I think - if he would be able to force push or throw Maul, then he could help Shaak Ti with Savage and kill him with a seconds. But after his fight with Bulq, I doubt, that he might be able to do this. Yeah, it can goes either way. Maybe brothers' better teamwork may give them a small advantage. With Depa or Sora as ally, Mace would take this easily.
5. Anakin/Kenobi:
Jedi probably wins that. The only brothers' chace is to take out Kenobi with TK - maybe Maul would be able to do that, but I doubt. Anyway, there is their only chance. In sabers Anakin can defeat both of them, and Obi-Wan can defeat Savage, and is - at least - equal to Maul. And jedi's teamwork is as good as borthers' - if not better. So jedi 8-9/10.
S_W_LeGenD
The brothers might clear but this would be dependent upon circumstances and setting.
Some possibilities:-
1.) The brothers would experience trouble at 3 due to Count Dooku.
2.) The brothers might fail at 4, if Shaak Ti (in this team) is her peak incarnation. Mace can hold his own against majority in his time.
3.) Team 5 is also tough to crack. As per my observation, the brothers have advantage in case of effectiveness of their Force powers against the Jedi. Therefore, the brothers can win in this contest, if they play smart.
In the nutshell, the brothers can win/loose against 3, 4 and 5 teams.
DARTH POWER
They will lose at 3/4. Dooku/Mace are hard core on their own. Getting help from skilled Council level members will tip it in their favor.

Not sure if Quigon is a strong enough link though.
DARTH POWER

Well he held off TPM Maul for a while, so I'm sure he can hold off Opress for a bit(like Adi did), whilst Mace deals with Maul.
Mace is fully capable of engaging them both by himself. Although he'd probably lose on his own.
Intrepid37
One of the brothers will beat Jinn before Mace beats the other, in my opinion.
DARTH POWER
Maul could probably last some time against Mace. But Opress won't last very long. Then Jinn wouldn't last very long against Maul either. Which would leave Mace vs Maul, which obviously Mace will win.
Intrepid37
True, but there's a good opportunity they'd get a chance to double-team Mace.
DARTH POWER
True, but even if they can double team him they'd probably win it after a hard fight.
I just personally think a Council-Level Master like Qui-Gon should tip the scales for Mace to take the win.
Col. Valerian
It could go either way. As you guys have said, it mainly depends on who dies first.

Um, given that Mace Windu alone was able to defeat Darth Sidious, who tooled the two Maul brothers with contemptuous ease, I don't see how the duo would stand a chance against Windu and Shaak Ti together. Windu just needs enough time to sink into vaapad, and then Maul's "whah I hate Kenobi" dark side rage will simply feed his own energies.
Furthermore, it's quite a stretch to denigrate Windu's strength in the Force; he's one of the few persons in history to have mastered shatterpoint, turns Sidious's lightning back on the sith lord at point blank range, and holds up an avalanche in Shatterpoint. Maul and Opress both get pinned by Sidious with no apparent effort.

That doesn't mean Mace can do the same. Mace's force powers are more comparable to Dooku's than Sidious's.
And remember Maul and Opress are no slouches in the Force. They have both ragdolled Jedi Council Masters, starships, smashed apart prisons from the inside e.t.c.

I don't think it's ever stated that Mace can only draw on a single entity's dark side energies.
Windu just harnessing Maul's power should be able to solo them, given that he is, in baseline, >= Dooku, who would have defeated RotS Anakin and Obi Wan together had it not been for the former's "in the zone" moment.

That's where A>B>C doesn't work. Dooku won't be force choking Maul with the ease he force choked Kenobi. And he certainly won't be kick slamming Opress half way across the room onto his rear.

Evidence that Maul > Kenobi in the Force?
Also, I'd point out that these brothers' forms, and with their being sith and all, aren't as suited to coordinating attacks as Obi Wan and Anakin.

Both Maul and Opress are > Kenobi in Force TK. How many times do they have to ragdoll Kenobi before they prove that. And how many more feats(above anything we've ever seen from Kenobi) do they need?

I agree in an all out ROTS Anakin and Kenobi >> Maul and Opress.
Problem against Dooku is Kenobi was taken out too easily by the Force. Whilst Maul and Opress are both Force beasts so will prove a much more difficult duo to seperate.
Remember Dooku just had the edge over Ventress and Opress in the episode "Witches of the Mist."

I find his TCW persona unbearably dull. He was highly interesting and intimidating when he was just a terrifying-looking badass in TPM. I mean, he was literally the ****ing devil. And he didn't even say a word, he just showed up and wrecked shit. How cool is that? As of the Clone Wars he's just another boring Sith who rages and gives villainous monologues.
He should be the Jason Voorhee's of Star Wars. Not...... Malak.

He was amazing in TCW. I mean him and Savage was a BOSS combo. They should have lived longer had another 2seasons with them before Sidious put the nail in there coffin.
They rushed that WAYYYY to fast tbh.
The Freddy Krueger of SW would be Lord Nyax.
And Im shocked you would even put Maul and Malak in the same sentence in preference.

Vader's prolly the better character, but he ceased to be the better villain in ROTJ. And as controversial as this is, I'd say Vader was at his absolute most badass in The Force Unleashed II.

Urgh, he's so boring. He just shows up and fights people while spiting out hateful dialogue.
Maul and Malak are the same archetype, where they're basically just a really unpleasant, hateful thug. But at least Malak was a good villain since he personally screws you over and captures Bastila and stuff. I don't care about whatever Mauls doing in TCW at all.

Malak's great. Imposing, scheming, cunning, and fairly direct. Complex plots and master strategy is Sidious's domain, but Malak will take the more straightforward route and simply Cut the Knot. He wants Revan's mantle, what's he do? Waits til Revan's in a precarious position and simply unleashes overwhelming firepower. Same with Bastila.
I admire that pragmatism.
Nephthys
Malaks good. He bombs a planet and screws you over repeatedly, making him an engaging and dislikeable villain. Then you learn about your past together and it gets personal. Which is always great for a villain.

The_Tempest
Nihilus is fine in theory, but deeply flawed in execution. Avellone couldn't make up his mind if he wanted Nihilus to be omnipotent or crippled, cunning or moronic. It would have been best had he been unaffiliated with the Sith in general.
Kreia's also fine in theory, but is far too blatantly sinister to be a skilled manipulator.

Agreed on both accounts. I think that's really what is so disappointing about Nihilus. He had the potential to be of the most interesting Sith in the mythos but, at the end, it falls flat on its face.

Nihilus has mystique going for him, that's it. Kreia's got awesome motivation but is, again, too dark and blatant about it for anyone with double-digit IQs to not instantly distrust. It'd be no different than Sidious being the ragged ugly fvck we see in ROTJ running for Senate in TPM. At least George recognized Palpatine had to appear and behave absolutely unassumingly for his gambit to be effective. Avellone was far too heavyhanded.

You're meant to distrust her. Avellone knew that he couldn't top the Revan reveal so didn't try. Instead you spend the game running around with the Big Bad and conscious of that fact whenever you talk to her. It makes it very interesting imo. The Force Bond thing ensures that even those who want to just attack her understand why the character wouldn't.

The Force bond is a terrible EU creation, but one that I won't pin on Avellone, since it originated elsewhere.
There really didn't have to be a reveal. Have Kreia be the blunt, argumentative, blackmailing b1tch she really is to tertiary characters like Atton and so but an effective manipulator needs to disguise their sinister designs.
In Buffyverse terms, she needed to be more Mayor Wilkins/Holland Manners (Affably Evil and/or Faux Affably Evil) than The Master (Obviously Evil).

But that would screw up her whole thing of being a mentor to you. You can't have all those interesting conversations with you if she's pretending to be a good guy. Plus I think most people would just be pissed off that their character can't see through her lies and would feel uninspired to talk to her if she's just going to lie and manipulate you.

Caedus's transformation was the product of years of propaganda, harsh experiences, and pilgrimages to other Force cults. Invincible too late established him to be a ruthless but compelling Big Bad. Vitiate isn't remotely interesting in any depiction: he's lite!Palpatine minus the success and appeal.
Abeloth is close to Vitiate's lameness, definitely.

The problem is his transformation from interesting and intelligent Dark Jedi in Traitor to gibbering madman in subsequent books. It totally crossed the line of believability and destroyed our ability to emphasise or relate with him.
At least Exar Kun has old-school comicbook villainy as a good point. Abeloth is just meh.

Essentially, a guy named Lightsnake came along and challenged the old ways. Then he quickly converted another guy named Gideon, who would go on to rule the forum as the most gifted logician and rhetorician in the history of the universe (see Zampano for the relevant quote) until his untimely ambush by corrupt moderators. We prostrate ourselves before Him and live to carry on His ways.

Qui Gon has 0 chance Vs Savage. He's cool but sucks socks at saber dueling.

I may be wrong but imo Jinn can beat Savage, or at least hold his own until Dooku beats Maul.

Maul was simply luring Jinn back the whole entire fight, the only portion of there fight that counts is there 1v1. In there 1v1 fight Qui Gon came at Maul "fully rejuvenated" and got cut down in 30seconds.
Lets not beat the dead pig here.
DARTH POWER
So anyone who loses to Maul sucks now?
Qui-Gon was one of the best swordsmen of his time. Maul's just better.
That said no way is Qui-Gon beating Opress. Opress has defeated Adi, Ventress and even Plo Koon.

Lets not beat the dead pig here. 30 seconds is actually long for a lightsaber duel. Imo Savage wouldn't do any better than Qui Gon.

Qui-Gon's problem is he lack feats.
Intrepid37
Rather his stamina and lack of defense.

But only because Maul had lured him into a narrow corridor, where the Jedi Master's ataru (which had served him to stalemate Mace Windu in sparring) was ineffective.
On Tatooine, the two appeared to be evenly matched.

This has never been mentioned as having an effect on the actual fight. Besides, even with the help of Obi-Wan in much space, they were lesser than Maul.

I need to remind you that Maul had his leg injured from an axe and that it haden't been cleaned.
DARTH POWER
They still were not evenly matched on Tatooine. Qui-Gon was simply surviving, and when he escapes we see how exhausted he was.

They werint evenly matched on Tatooine.
Maul was driving Jinn back the whole time and Jinn was panting and exhausted.
And dont even use that as a excuse, seeing as being in a small corner would be just as much of a disadvantage towards Maul.

If TPM Maul and TCW Maul are close in sabers, then Jinn did much better against Maul then Opress.
Anyway, Dooku can engage Maul in saber fight, and help Jinn to take advantage over Savage with his FL or TK.
Intrepid37
I see no disparity between TPM Maul and TCW Maul in saber skill.
Col. Valerian
I think it's somewhere stated that he became more powerful. Not sure, though.
Zett
@Intrepid37
Neither do I.
@Col. Valerian
Maybe you're right, I'm not sure. As I remeber thats was Savage's word.
ROTJ Vader
^With the force broski.
Zett
^He said that, after he lost saber duel to Maul. So we can't be sure.
Intrepid37
Maul muses he's more powerful when he fights Sidious, which is very true considering his feats. More skilled? Not at all.

My post was in reference to Col.Valerians, buddy. No need to beat the dead pig.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the TPM novelization mentions it. That's why Maul retreats against Qui Gon.
(unless if you wish to argue that Jinn is legitimately driving him back...but that wouldn't really support your case)
Well, Maul repeatedly needs to take out Obi Wan with kicks, and backtracks against them, so...
That sounds like pointless Maul-wank inserted by some author, but it's canon, so I won't argue it.
Maul is certainly superior to Qui Gon as of TPM, but we can't overlook the fact that Jinn had been running in the desert for god-knows-how-long.

I actually finished the novelization a good three weeks ago. Never been mentioned.

Needs? Sources have told us that the Jedi's tactic were little more than ''delaying'', and now they had ''met their match''.

Again, never been mentioned that it hindered Jinn (and had he been running?)

Plus for this thread, Jinn & Dooku will have good chemistry together.

Honestly, not really. Dooku tends to fight alone and he looks down on Ataru's ridiculous acrobatics.
