Darth Maul (Ep1) Vs Anakin (Ep2)

[Ultimate Cell]

Part of [mention]Captain Cadaver[/mention] challenge. Bonus if Anakin loses have it be his Episode 3 self.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Darth Maul most likely wins with mid-diff. Most sources tend to cite Qui-Gon as on the same level as members of the High Council when it came to lightsaber duelling and Maul was at least equal to him with better stamina. Whilst TCW Maul is likely a good deal stronger than his Episode I self, the former being capable of stalemating Dooku in the force should be fairly scalable to his TPM self all things considered.

RotS Anakin easily beats TPM Maul though. During The Clone Wars, he was shown to fare well 1 on 1 against Dooku several times and Legends-wise, his accomplishments on the Invisible Hand was enough for Windu to debate whether or not Anakin may be the most powerful Jedi of the era, so even when taking into account he was channelling the dark side and had a natural counter to Dooku's form of saber combat when he killed him, Anakin ought to be in the top 3 overall strongest Jedi during the end of the Clone Wars. TPM would lack the strength in the force or finesse in combat to counter him.

Imagine being one of the strongest Jedi but Master Windu doesnt grant you the rank of master

Only one solution then - join The Senate and kill some younglings.

Yeah I'm going with CC on this one. Maul beats AoTC Anakin mid diff but loses to RoTS Anakin in a low mid-high easy diff fight.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

I would say that if it were TCW Maul VS RotS Anakin, it'd be a very even match though. Son of Dathomir presents Maul's strength in the force as equal to Dooku's and whilst he probably isn't as skilled in lightsaber combat as Dooku, his style is still quite a strong, unpredictable one compared to Anakin's. I'd say Anakin would win if Maul ended up provoking him enough for him to tap into the dark side, though without that it could go either way.

If maul was equal to dooku then he'd lose to anakin just as easily. Even taking the forms into account Dooku was completely outmatched against anakin.

TPM Maul vs AotC Anakin goes to Maul. He pretty easily handled both Qui-gon and Obi-wan, and I have a hard time believing the Anakin Dooku wiped the floor with could do the same.

Dooku was only outmatched once Anakin started tapping into his anger and the dark side. Prior to that, Dooku was fighting both Anakin and Obi-Wan fairly evenly.
