Im just gonna pop in and say that the battle

Darth Maul vs. Rinzler

is Unfair due to the fact that the Force was used. The force is thought to be created by and connected to living beings, and controlled by emotions. Both of which cannot exist inside The Grid. Programs do not have emotions in a biological sense, nor are they organic. Heck, they arent even made of atoms. They are comprised solely of the On-Off state of a given Bit in combination with millions of others, and charged by electrons. As such, the force would have no presence within the grid and could not be manipulated. Darth Maul would have to rely on his biological strength in use of a Saber Staff.

Rinzler would have not years, or decades, but centuries of training in his weapons. Time is faster within The Grid.
