But regardless I'm going to side with Maul. First and formost he was rasied form childhood to be a killing machine. Palpatine pushed him to be a coldblooded killer and to have a tolerance for pain that is beyound ridiculus. 2. He has the force on his side. This offer's him a great number of advantages. First and formost he can sense enemey attacks beofre they launch them. This also allows him to move at very high speeds. Maul is almsot exclusivly trained form physical combat with the force,abiltys such as force speed, which make even the fastest oppoenets look like there moving in low-motion., and let humans catch objects in there hands that will move severla feet in a fration of a second. The force will also allow him to grab his oppoenet and throw then around or pull them close to him and impale them with his light saber.

Mauls biggest adanantge is his abilty to see what his enemy will do beofre they do it, and combined with force speed will allow him to close the gaps and cut his oppoent down quickly and effectivly. He defeated Qui-gon in a duel, and he was widly regarded as one of the best duelest in the Jedi Order, equal to Mace Windu.
