Nihl can beat someone like Bane, but Maul is too much.

Pretty strong lightning at that, but Force lightning isn't the be-all and end-all of power.

I mean.. Nihl's great but I'd put him below Savage.

Mm, he's not quite as much as a brick as Savage (though still a pretty good brick, he's shrugged blaster bolts to the chest too), but he's a more experienced duelist.

That was because of his armor, though. Whereas Savage has a large plethora of durability feats that don't just involve bolt tanking.

He might be more experienced but then.. so was everybody Savage ever fought/defeated.

Sure, but if you look at the Adi fight, she was doing entirely fine, up until she overestimating the effect his kicks would have, giving him an opening. And when faced with someone of higher skill, well, Maul casually outmaneuvered him. Skill-wise, Savage does come out as having some exploitable flaws that he makes up with via raw toughness and power.

Nah, she wasn't.

-Darth Maul: Shadow Conspiracy

Also, Gallia has no relevance to Nihl. Nor does Maul.. whose track record as a martial artist kind of shits on Nihl's were you to try and compare them side by side. Him disarming Savage is both due to Maul's own unarmed skill and something you can't transfer over to Nihl even slightly.

I'm not saying Savage is infallible but experience isn't something that will allow Nihl to win against Savage. To take a page out of your book, you can look at Nihl's second fight with Cade: someone very strong in the Force with immense potential and natural affinity. For all Nihl's experience and likely superior technical skill he was outmatched by the more powerful fighter. Given Savage's own affinity for the Force and his superior dueling feats, I doubt he'd lose to Nihl.

Show trumps descriptor, and still, 'little by little' and largely due to strength. Nihl's better than Adi and has more strength and leverage.

I don't really give a shit for your nitpicking, man. I love Nihl too but he doesn't belong in this thread, and your argument is very, very thin.
