Vader specializes in a variant of forms 2 and 5.4 to 3 wasn't it?

Well first off they both got solo'd by obi wan, anakin gets more of a pass though because he was so young and stupid at the time. When maul fought obiwan he was already a Sith Lord and had trained with palpatine for years.
I will say I think Obi Wan beat Maul because of the style matchup not really because he is the more talented lightsaber fighter, where in Anakins case I think Obi Wan was just the more talented and more calm and experienced practitioner. I believe Maul to be one of the best with a lightsaber in the whole Star Wars universe, he's a beast.
I think Maul is definitely better than Vader in that respect, however Vader is MUCH MUCH MUCH more powerful with the force. And that is a problem for Maul.
That said both are amazing and I LOVE Mauls whole history and storyline it's just fucking awesome and I wish he didn't go out the way he did. But whatever.
Revenge of The SithYea there you go thats what it is...Vader was much more inclined with the force but Maul would've definitely beat him in a no force allowed lightsaber fight.
BTW: does anyone have the gif of the fight between Obi Wan and Anakin where they're both twirling their lightsabers in such an over the top manner that it looks silly? It's in the prequels im not sure which one.
He is on par with Yoda and Sidious.Isn't Mace Windu supposed to be the best with a lightsaber?

Ahh thanks. It's been a couple years since I've read any books.Vader specializes in a variant of forms 2 and 5.
They are in the same tier. Sidious was not even in his prime yet. Windu with sabers gives anyone a good fight. Force powers are another story.He easily beat Sidious until Anikin showed up.
Yeah his Vaapaad style really work against Sidios has it loops all the dark side hate sidios have back to Sidious. Mace Windu is just really a bad matchup for Darth SidiousHe is on par with Yoda and Sidious.
He needed more then Vaapad to get the edge on Sidious. He also needed shatter points. When Sidious used sith lightning even that was too much for Mace, he himself admited it was beyond Vaapad.Yeah his Vaapaad style really work against Sidios has it loops all the dark side hate sidios have back to Sidious.

Basically, Vader and Sideous were the two most powerful Sith ever, or rather George Lucas says they are, so no other Sith could have stood a chance against either.... because George says it.
Personally, I can't see how Vader could have stood a chance against Darth Bane, the first Sith Master after the Rule of Two was implimented. He had orbalisk armor that made him invincible to lightsaber strikes and blaster hits, and he had complete mastery in Force Lightening. Vader, at his best, would have been decimated in seconds.
But, if this fight could have taken place in cannon, Vader would be written by the author to win.
Bullshit? Absolutey it is. But hopefully with Lucas out of the way, future cannon stories can be told about how Vader wasn't the absolute badass he was thought to be, but he survived and dominated only because of his power with the force.
Fucking "Orbalisk Armor". Fuck you, Bane. I'm glad you're fake. Having saber proof armor is like that asshole friend of yours that just picked Guile in Streetfighter 2 and all he did was flash kick
Kylo Rens ugly ass destroys both Vader and Maul
Darth Bane is cannon, yo.
Fake as in? His stories in the novels are now non-canon but he is a real canon character.He's still fake.
He easily beat Sidious until Anikin showed up.

His novels are still a good read. His interactions with Zannah were entertaining to read and Sith lore was explored a lot.
