Close combat would end badly for maul. Other than that, Maul should be able to strangle snake eyes from the beginning of the fight.

The only one who can defeat Maul is Kenobi, tbh

And you also have instances in both canon and Legends where an enraged Maul was able to legitimately challenge Palpatine himself in sabers, and actually defeated Vader sabers. It's all about what his mindset is going into this fight, tbh.

...Not that he'd even need to draw his lightsaber to win, but still.

...Not that he'd even need to draw his lightsaber to win, but still. yeah, I'm not saying that he doesn't have some beastly feats, just that they happen what, once for every two losses? Also, unfortunately for Maul, his showings in Rebels legitimately make him seem like trash. He beat up the inquisitors (who themselves were garbage, seriously, the first Inquisitor was the only impressive one), got stalemated by an adult Ashoka, and then failed (rather hilariously) to beat an injured and completely blind Kanan. The worst part is that he died in three moves to Kenobi, the same Kenobi who could only manage to stalemate Vader. Sadly, as time went on, Maul grew stagnant and finally weak enough to be decisively beaten by someone that he was once a peer to......

Anyway, Snake Eyes could conceivably get close enough to get into close combat. He's notoriously difficult for telepaths to sense/detect after all...

Where Rebels Maul is concerned, Matt Martin(a chief creative executive and part of the official Lucasfilm Story Group) confirmed that he was old and out of practice at the time:

...Which certainly helps explain his lackluster portrayal(s) during that period.


But if we're talking *peak* Maul, he can undoubtedly best SE in close combat as long as he goes into this angry and out for the kill. However, if Maul goes into this arrogant and trying to play with his opponent(as he did against TPM Kenobi, for example), then yeah, SE can beat him.

Always great to get info on SW characters and how they match up w. others.
