rfa_vasquez Posted September 9, 2002 Author Share Posted September 9, 2002 Honestly Vader has to be 1 of the strongest if not the strongest to have joined the Dark Side.You heard Yoda talk about him.his ratings where in the 10000's or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Maz Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Originally posted by jessman233 See saber skill has nothing to so with the movies. Do you think in the early 80's late 70's they had the best skills? No, truth is if they were filmed around this time vader would be much faster. And in the sw universe one can't just weild a lightsaber. If you wished to weild it correctly you would have to be "linked" to it with the force. Almost becoming one with the saber. That enables those amazing saber swings. So vader would have whomped maul because of his force ability. Oh yes and darth maul wasnt one with his light saber, he only had a double sided one an took on 2 jedi for a bloody long time an killed one, the master, so i guess he must suck then :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Spy Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Actually I have to agree even tho maul did lose, got chopped in half and fell down a big pipe it could have just been luck, obi wan and qui gon couldnt get him 2on1 and we all know how good obi wan is my initial simple equation was perhaps a bit brash and it is quite right to say that it is only an opinion which cannot be proven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He held off a padawan and qui gon. Quigon's not exactly a skywalker if ya know what I mean. That's why he was so easily killed off. He wasn't that strong. But I agree that the maul death was horrible. He stood there for a whole 2 seconds before ben sliced him. terrible. Just face it that though maul was neat lookin, he was just for show. Killed off like quigon. never to be seen again. So think about it. You're going to say that maul, who died in episode one can beat vader who was one of the main characters and the one who brought balance to the force. Insanity.

C'jais Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Again, speed is the only thing that matters in a saberfight, obviously. Raw strengh does not. Vader in ep4-5-6 could never have beaten Maul, not with that clumsy suit he was wearing at least. If we're including force powers, Vader might easily have won though. But again, as several people have mentioned before (me included), there's a difference in moviemaking technology and choreography between the prequels and the OT. But, I think Anakin in ep2 and Vader in ep3 EASILY can slice Maul up good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Maz Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 bah. this is one of those debates, or polls as the proper name is, that cant be won, its just a collection of peoples opinions and diffrent facts gathered from the movies. so its really quite pointless. fun none the less to see diffrent peoples view's on the subject tho, but wouldnt maul and vader be buddys IF they were ever to see each other, as there both Darth's. i suppose they could make an ugly face anonymous club or something HO HO HO so thats my last view on it, i hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<JOTD>Jedi Hunter Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Lol, right on. Glad to see this thread get a little lighter. I personally think that alf would stop the fight and kill them both with his power to bring shows to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you in on a lil secret: Polls are completely worthless, opinions are not. Of course, this is what threads are for, did anyone ever think for a second that they could come to a forum and expect to convince others that their opinion was the will of nature? It isn't pointless, it's the whole idea of forums you're staring at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaderWriter Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 These opinions are epic guys! Great to see so many people think otherwise. Now that I think on it somemore, Vader had the most power of the force. He was slow and powerful with the saber (somewhat like the 'Strong' stance in JK2), so he clearly wasn't as quick or agile with the saber as Maul. But Vader would wax him for the sheer force power. Also Vader started throwing the saber as well as a whole lot of other tricks (moving objects, etc..)! He clearly knows how to use the force more than anyone (even Yoda). On another topic, why is it that Maul, Obi Wan, and his teacher not talk to each other as they fought. That was pretty weak if you ask me. What made the Eps 4, 5, 6 battles so intense and personal was the sheer interrogation from Vader. I'm glad that the SP game has this too. I love to hear those Reborns talk ****! -M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love to hear those Reborns talk ****! -M Vader definately has more power/knowledge in the force than almost anyone (even yoda?), but clearly his saber skillz lack in front of the neatly choreographed and computer-aided Maul. And I agree as well with the "fight 'n chat" concept emphazied in ep4-5-6, a lot more style points for that - epic and chivalrous! The reborns do get on my nerves though, that giggling laughter is too much to take sometimes... Jess: What can I say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth-Nasty Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 i reckon maul is the better fighter the overall saber fighting ability decreases as the films go on and you cant say vader beat obi who beat maul cos young obi is better than old obi:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Maz Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 my goodness me, we have a dafty on the forum jesus dude, are you trying to tell me u like sitting spending your time arguing or debating or polling what ever the fruit u wanna call it over something that cannot be decided, let me let u in on a little "secret" opinions are opinions and no one can challenge another ones opinion becuase its ~theirs~ so if you like to sit and have pointless discussions that lead no where then mibbe u need a visit from the little men in white suits that put u in padded rooms with those white jackets, so u can debate with the walls. as far as i knew forums where for duscussions, helping and learning.
