The Best Lightsaber Form and Why

The Best Lightsaber Form 

Hello everyone and welcome to Star Wars Fun facts and Opinions. Today we will be looking at the best lightsaber fighting forms according to my opinion, strictly this is my opinion based off of 15 year experience in swordsmanship. I will be talking about the pros and cons of each form. However as a side note, My say over what is best is in no way the "end all say all" of what style is best, swordsmanship has many types of forms and practices and to a practitioner  a certain form is best suited for him or her. With that said lets begin! 

We will be going from least to greatest. Technically there are 8 Lightsaber Forms 

No. 8   Shii Cho

Shii-Cho is the basic lightsaber form, what it provides is the basics for each Jedi in the description labeled on the picture. 

Strengths: 

Shii-Cho covers the users basics of attack and defense, parrying. If mastered well a practitioner can take on multiple opponents in open field combat, the form provides enough variety to be considered lethal. The form mainly uses wider and heavier swings that can be more wild compared to a style that is more refined and elegant, the form has a basis for basic blaster deflection and parrying. The best person to use this form was Kit Fisto. 

Weakness: 

Shii-Cho as powerful and wild as the form is, it leaves the user open to counter attacks and more refined styles such as Makashi, the fencing form. In short imagine a Knight without armor using a bastard sword against a duelist with a smaller sword called a Rapier, as powerful as the Knight is, the fencing duelist would simply evade or counter strike the heavy swings of the Knight. Same could be said for Lightsaber combat. 

No.7 Niman 

On the picture on the Bottom is Niman, This is the jack of all trades form. What it does it take bits and pieces from each style and combines them together, its like the mixed martial arts of the lightsaber form. 

Strengths: 

Niman is a great form to use against opponents as it provides a variety of attacks and opportunities as well a good defense for the user. Not only does this form gather parts from other fighting forms, but it also incorporates the use of force attacks within the sequences. A great user could effectively combat multiple opponents at once while maintaining the upper hand. A swing here, a force push after followed up by another light saber strike. Noteable user is Jedi Battle Master Kao Cen Darach. 

Weakness:

Although the form provides a variety of attacks and opportunities and a good defense, the form is highly exhausting on the practitioner, after using force powers on top of physical abilities the user will grow tired quicker than a user who uses mainly one form or another. 

No. 6 Jar'Kai

Two is better than one right? That is what Jar'Kai provides, the practitioner uses sequences from Niman while duel blade fencing. 

Strengths:

Much like Niman with the same strengths, the bigger difference is Jar'Kai practitioner uses two blades providing quicker and more aggressive fighting style. The user enhances their ability to output blade work and quick strikes that are well calculated. 

Weakness: 

Again much like Niman, the user can become effectively tired if engaged in a long fight due to the high energy needed to output for the form. Not only does the user get more tired, but the strikes are weaker considered the practitioner uses only one hand for each blade as well as if the style is interrupted it no longer flows the way it should. The duel blade fencing form is great against multiple opponents to keep at bay, but against a single opponent if the flow of blades is stopped it is like a dam stopping water. 

No. 5  Ataru 

Ataru is considered the acrobatic form, this is the form used by Yoda. 

Strengths: 

Ataru is a highly aggressive and offensive form providing little defensive capabilities. This form is similar to Niman, but it incorporates hand to hand combat strikes within the sequences of lightsaber attacks. The user who masters this form is extremely leathal and has a great offensive output to put most opponents on their back foot. This form is best used when done in small burst rather than longer extended fights. 

Weakness: 

The form is highly aggressive and offensive, but it leaves the user to be tired very fast if overextending ones self. This in turn leave the user open for counter strikes or to go on the defensive, which Ataru really has no defense at all, the user would have to go back to the basics of Shii-Cho if put on the defense. 

No. 4 Shien/Djem So

The picture on the top shows what Shien/Djem-So is, this is the form that Darth Vader/ Anakin Skywalker use.

Strengths: 

Shien/Djem-So is a great form of lightsaber combat, this form is the Samuari type style of Lightsaber fighting. This form is quick and powerful and provides great defensive capabilities and is considered the most balanced of the forms favoring attack and defense. The user could be on the attack and if a counter strike happens to the user, the user can counter the counter strike and continue their barrage of attack. 

Weakness:

These is almost no weaknesses to this form, the only weakness is unbalance. This means that the practitioner has to be mindful of their movements, if they put too much focus on offensive attacks they are prone to counter attacks, but if too much on defense they do not get the opportunity for offense. 

No. 3 Juyo/Vaapad

Juyo/Vaapad is the all out offensive form, this is the form that Mace Windu, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul use. 

Strengths:

Juyo is highly aggressive with quick fierce strikes in the sequences, it may seem random, but it is controlled and well calculated imagine top tier duelist who have great offensive abilities, they are extremely deadly and only the best of the best can match the form. The form is made to overpower, overwhelm, and barrage the opponent. 

Weakness: 

Juyo has no defensive capabilities, this form is all powered through offensive tactics and attacks and if interrupted the user has to fall back on a rather weak defense, the best bet for a Juyo practitioner is to be stopped for a brief moment and counter strike to get back on the offense again.  Because the Juyo attack is all attack, although the attacks could be well calculated and executed, the attacking side still has less time to react and always keep acting, this means they are prone to counter attacks if their attack fails. 

No.2 Makashi 

Makashi is the Fencing form, this form was made for lightsaber dueling with 1 vs 1 opponents in mind, but if mastered is able to easily contend with multiple opponents. Count Dooku Uses this form. 

Stengths:

Very well balanced to offensive and defensive strikes, uses more counter strikes rather than offensive flourishes. This is a piercing form which means it looks for any opening and exploits it hard. The form is much faster than most forms and is just made for dueling. Imagine a fencing master specialized is dueling combat, any type of warrior whether it be Samurai or Knight or Viking would be a challenge, but the fencing master would be able to overcome them with pure skill and tactics. The form requires a sharp mind to use it, this means using leverage, counter striking, great foot work, and well placed blade strikes carries the day. 

Weakness: 

Although the form is elegant and refined the most, it lacks one thing. Strength. If a practitioner is against someone more powerful direct blade to blade combat is risky, this means the practitioner could be over powered if not using their tactics. 

No.1 Soresu    

The defensive form, this form when mastered is considered the best form with no weaknesses, but it has no offensive output. Obi Wan Kenobi uses this form and perfected it to be proclaimed THE Master of the form. 

Strength:

This form is all defense which means anyone trying to output, overpower, onslaught, or overwhelm will simply be shut down by the form due to the failure of not having effective offensive attacks. In short, you cannot defeat someone if they stone wall your offensive, the attack becomes mute and useless and tires out the offensive opponent. Soresu masters are able to negotiate their way in a fight and out last anyone in a duel. The form is made for long engagements and attrition to tire out offensive users, once the offensive user is tired the Soresu master can either end the duel by taking an offense of their own, or implementing a counter strike once they read the offensive sides strikes. This form requires patience, tactics, and manipulation of the field and opponent. This form is the expression of tactic ingenuity on the defensive. This can lead opponents into false securities and later exploit them when comfortable. 

Weakness: 

As awesome as a stone wall defense is, it simply leaves no room for attacking if the user is a pure Soresu practitioner. It would be recommended to know another form for offensive abilities, but luckily most Soresu Masters have a knowledge of Shii-Cho as a basic. However Jedi Masters like Kenobi knew more than 3 forms of lightsaber combat: Soresu, Ataru, Shii-Cho, and Jar'Kai.   

However again this just my opinion, but feel free to agree, disagree, or leave a comment! Hope you enjoyed

Obi Wan Kenobi vs Mace Windu

The Soresu Master vs The Vaapad Master

      VS    

Obi Wan Kenobi vs Mace Windu would be a legendary battle to finally put to rest the idea of Offense vs Defense. The two Jedi are exactly the opposite masters of each other. 

Back Story: 

In The Prequel era, Mace Windu and Obi Wan Kenobi were both highly regarded Jedi Masters on the Jedi Council. Both were considered the top Jedi next to Grand-master Yoda as well as Anakin Skywalker aka The Chosen One. 

The Challenge:  

During a flight to a Republic Base Mace Windu praised Obi Wan for his mastery in Soreu ( The Defensive Form) 

Mace Windu: "I wonder who would win? The master of a classic form, or The master of a killing form." 

Obi Wan: " Master Windu you flatter me, but I wouldn't say Master".

Mace Windu:  " I didnt say A Master I said THE Master "

In this contest we are going to be taking Obi Wan Kenobi vs Mace Windu in a sparring duel because these two wouldn't kill each other, but they would spar each other and we would see who comes out on top. Again we will do the common 4 rounds based on Physical Abilities, Dueling Skills, Force Abilities, and Tactics. The final part will be a scenario.

Round 1: Physical Abilities

Obi Wan Kenobi 

Obi Wan was a middle aged male in his later 30's during his prime of The Clone Wars. Obi Wan was a master of attrition fighting which means he had a great endurance that only the best of the best can match. This is evidence when he has his long Lightsaber battle against Darth Vader on Mustafar. It was said that Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin covered a few miles on their foot pursuit. Obi Wan was considered a well built and strong person. Some would say he was a humanoid tank. This means Obi Wan was able to take a lot of damage and keep on fighting. Obi Wan was also considered fast and highly reflexive in lightsaber combat dueling as well as hand to hand combat, he was considered as good as a martial artist Darth Maul was and agile as well when need be, but he most of the time was able to be strong and firm in his standing. On a scale of 1-10 on his physical abilities Obi Wan Kenobi has a 9.5 out of 10 due to his resilience during combat as well as his endurance can outlast anyone.

Mace Windu

Mace Windu was a Human Jedi who was older in his years around 40, but he was just as good in shape as men half his age. He was considered one of the most powerful force users in the Jedi order and was gifted with great physical abilities, Mace Windu was considered to be one of the most in shape Jedi of the order, on a scale of 1-10 on physical conditioning, Mace Windu would be at a 9, I say 9 due to his older age, but dont let that fool you in how well he is conditioned. Mace Windu was well conditioned to have marathon lightsaber duels as well as engage with enemies who were younger and stronger than he was, but to give you an idea of how strong Mace Windu was during a battle in the clone wars he destroyed over 100,000 battle droids in a fight and slayed many of them just using his bare hands. This speaks greatly to his strength, speed, agility, and endurance to last in a fight. Mace also was able to keep up with the speeds of Grand Master Yoda and Darth Sidious who were considered some of the fastest beings in the galaxy. He fought on equal offensive output as General Grievous who could strike up to 20 strikes per second, if not Mace Windu could put more of an offensive output making him deathly quick. 

On a scale of 1-10 on who wins round 1 
Obi Wan Kenobi: 5
Mace Windu: 5     

Round 2: Dueling Abilities

Obi Wan Kenobi 

 

Obi Wan Kenobis Fighitng Styles:
Form IV Ataru: This was a highly aggressive form capitalizing on quick strikes and combing flips and martial combat into the mix along with arial strikes. Obi Wan was considered a great practitioner

in this form.
Form V Nimon/Jar'Kai: Obi Wan despite not being seen with two Lightsabers at once in films, does a demonstration on how well he can use the form against two Sith Warriors, Darth Maul and Savage Oppress.
Form III: Soresu: This form was the 100% defensive form that guaranteed the user to live in battles, but it offered no offensive abilities so the practitioner had to create their own opportunities. Soresu's main focus was to be energy efficient and tire down the offensive opponent until they gave up due to fatigue or made a mistake in their fighting style for the defensive practitioner to capitalize on. Obi Wan Kenobi was not a master of the form, but THE MASTER of the form admitted by Mace Windu.
Form III also had no weaknesses compared against any other form of Lightsaber combat.
Obi Wan Kenobi's Greatest Feats:
1. He went toe to toe with Darth Vader in the battle of Mustafar and beat him in his potential prime.
2. Kenobi was able to fight with Qui Gon against the highly trained and out of his skill level at the time Darth Maul and was able to defeat him. ( Only to have him return later )
3. Obi Wan was the perfect warrior to handle the barrage of attacks from General Grievous and defeated him while being on the defensive.
4. Obi Wan Kenobi was able to meet the skills of Count Dooku in episode 3, This is discussed in the novels by how impressed Count Dooku was that Kenobi had become a Soresu Master. Dooku only beat Kenobi again by way of the force, not in swordsmanship like episode 2.
5.  Because of that acknowledgement from the highly renouned Dooku, this means Obi Wan Kenobi was able to contend with the best of the best swordsmen and not fall to being outmatched by swordplay.
6. Obi Wan used the form Nimon: Jar'kai, an unfamiliar form to him and faced off against the deadly brother duo of Darth Maul and Savage Oppress.
7. Obi Wan Kenobi has had multiple duels with General Grievous and is one of the only Jedi who live from it.
8. Kenobi was able to defeat Asajj Ventress more than once
9. Obi Wan Kenobi had perfected the Form III Soresu, (lets put this short as a person who actually does swordplay, if someone has an Iron wall that cant be broken, despite the ferocity of an attack, it wont be broke so the offense becomes mute.)
10. Obi Wan Kenobi was considered one of the smartest duelist when it came to his opponents from using the high ground, to working his way inside of a rushed enemies flurry of blows, Obi Wan Kenobi is always thinking on his feet when it comes to a duel.
11.Obi Wan Kenobi has faced off against the galaxies deadliest foes and overcame them and also did so by not losing anything vital like an arm or a leg.
12. It took Darth Vader to defeat an Old Obi Wan Kenobi, though Kenobi knew he was sacrificing himself during his last duel.

On a scale of 1-10 Obi Wan Kenobi I would consider is the most well rounded, but perfect defensive master, He is a perfect 10 to me. 

Mace Windu

 

Mace Windu is by far one of the most powerful Jedi in the order and is regarded as one of the top swordsmen in the entire Star Wars history. Not one person on this list would ever make easy work of the Jedi Master. Mace Windu was the second in command next to Grandmaster Yoda and was considered the face of the Jedi order before the prophecy Anakin came along. This Jedi Master is considered one of the deadliest warriors due to his magnificent abilities. Many people suspect Mace Windu of almost falling to the Dark Side, but allow me to clarify, he has a Dark Side aurora with him.

Mace Windu is a master in all Lightsaber combat, but his favorite Lightsaber form is a self made varient of the 7th Sith Form Juyo calld, Vaapad: This is a highly aggressive form that requires the user to enjoy the battle and use the dark side of the forces energy against the opponent. Mace Windu was by far the top tier user of the 7th form variant and was the best of the best as they come in regards to offensive abilities.

Mace Windu's Greatest Feats:
1. Having a 1 on 1 duel with Darth Sidious, the fight was described as a battle of flashing shadows this was the ultimate Sith Lord vs Jedi Master battle.
2. Usually able to contend with Count Dooku as an equal if not be his better in sparring.
3. Windu would have defeated Sidious had Anakin not stepped in.
4. Windu Easily killed legendary bounty hunter Jango Fett.
5. Windu once decimated an entire droid army by himself using only his hands and the force and his lightsaber techniques.
6. Windu has the force ability called shatterpoint that works against an opponents openings. 

Winner of this round by scale of 1-10 

Obi Wan Kenobi: 5.1

Mace Windu: 4.9

I only say this because Mace Windu despite being a great swordsman next to Yoda or Anakin, he has not been as accomplished as Obi Wan Kenobi. Kenobi would be able to hold his own against Palpatine in Lightsaber Combat, The main thing is that Mace Windu's Vaapad is very strong against Darkside users, but Obi Wan Kenobi is the perfect example of what a Jedi should be. Windu would be fighting against a warrior of the light, but the main thing is that even though Windu can use his own dark aura, this wouldnt hold out long enough against Obi Wan Kenobi. Eventually when it came down to a extended lightsaber duel Obi Wan would outlast due to his endurance and is skilled enough in offensive combat and clever enough to have an offensive  plan in mind. The thing is the person who is always on the defensive and keeps their energy studies and is able to perceive the offensive parties  tactics and plans.

Round 3: Force Abilities

 

Obi Wan Kenobi 

Kenobi was considered a powerful, wise, and talaented Jedi Master, though he was not considered the most powerful such as Yoda, Mace Windu, or Anakin, or Count Dooku, or Sidious he was a skilled master with great debt in the force, able to become a force ghost eventually in his older age, but also was a great combative Jedi when it came to using the force as defense, never offense. Kenobi dedicated his force abilities into his physical abilities, as well as his perception and meditation to have a clear mind.  He was skilled in Force Strength, Speed, Push, Pull, Mind Trick, Force Field, Deflection. On a scale of 1-10 on how well Obi Wan was as a Force User he is a 8 out of 10. 

MACE WINDU 

Mace Windu was considered a very powerful Jedi Master in the force, second to Yoda, he was gifted in many attributes of the abilities the force granted him. He was gifted with great precognition foresight, force crush, force push, speed, throw, physical strength and agility, and his greatest force ability shatter point: This ability is able to look for the weaknesses in opponents, like starting at a perfect shaped mirror, but being able to see the weak point. In his battles Mace Windu has been seen sending hundreds of battle droids flying by a powerful force push, he is also a Jedi who knows mind trick, force infiltration: This is when you can go inside someones mind to read their thoughts. In anything short Mace Windu was considered to be the Chosen One, until Anakin came along. On a scale of 1-10 Mace Windu was considered a 9 out of 10.

Winner of Round 3: Scale of 1-10

Obi Wan Kenobi: 4

Mace Windu: 6 

Though both do not out class each other in the art of precognition and foresight, Mace is shown to have more power in the force, but these two would most likely not use the force on each other as an offensive type.

Round 4: Tactics

Obi Wan Kenobi

Obi Wan Kenobi was considered a great tactic mind when it came to battle, he was nicknamed the Negotiator during The Clone Wars, but he was an excellent duelist as well when it came to fighting. He knew when to advance and go offensive as well as when to be defensive and stone wall. However, Obi Wan Kenobi next to Mace Windu and Yoda and Anakin was considered one of the best Generals that served in The Army of The Galactic Republic. During duels Kenobi was often clever on how to lead opponents where he wanted, knew when to surprise his opponents, as well as make them fall into a false sense of security before springing a trap. Kenobi is always seen to come up with plans on the fly. The best thing Kenobi is known for is his ability to adapt and observe. On a scale of 1-10 Kenobi is considered a 9 out of 10.

Mace Windu 

Mace Windu was a great, powerful, and wise Jedi Master. He was a very great strategist in his tactics when it came on engagements. Mace was one of the greatest Generals in the Clone Wars, normally taking on the hardest and most deadly missions other armies had to offer. Mace normally succeeded in his missions as well as his task, however when it comes to dueling he is very direct and forward, one would say his rushing to Palatines office was considered rash and wreckless when it came to confronting the Dark Lord of The Sith, Mace underestimated his opponent by only taking 4 Jedi Masters, however one could argue he didnt underestimate his opponent if he took 4 Jedi Masters, but that is always up for debate. However, despite Mace Windu's direct and forward approach, he can manage to do it because he is able to back it up and hold his own in almost any situation. On a scale of 1-10 Mace Windu is considered a 9 out of 10.

The winner of this round by 1-10

Obi Wan Kenobi: 5
Mace Windu: 5

The Scenario: 

The Master of a Classic Form vs The Master of a Killing form. 

This battle will take place on The Jedi Temple area. 

As Mace Windu issued the challenge of The Master of a Classic form vs The Master of a Killing Form. Obi Wan would humbly accept Mace Windus challenge.  The two Jedi Masters would meet in the Jedi Temple training room as both would ignite their Lightsabers and begin in their respected forms. Mace Windu would begin the offensive approach to test Kenobis legendary master-ship of Soresu, this would not disappoint Mace Windu and Kenobi would be very surprised and impressed of Mace Windu's speed, power, and lethal form. The two would begin to intensify their duel and this would play out much like Anakin vs Obi Wans duel with Windu getting a few physical strikes of punches and kicks to Obi Wan, but not without Obi Wan Kenobi returning some strikes of his own. During their duel Mace would be surprised that his Vaapad would be stone walled so well against someone like Kenobi. In this type of duel Soresu and Vaapad would be canceling out each other as the two great Jedi Masters would be admiring each of their abilities and strengths, this battle wouldn't use much of the force, only slight pushes and shoves it would to each other.  Mace would attempt to use the force power of shatter point, but much to his surprised Kenobi would keep his defenses perfect, not even a inch out of place. As the battle would rage on, flashes of blue and purple would be seen throughout the temple to capture the attention of the Jedi within the halls. The battle would be the ultimate form of defense vs offense, but eventually the war of attrition would end with Mace not being able to get an angle over Kenobi, but Kenobi would out last enough to tire Mace Windu and eventually be so tight and perfect with his defense he would eventually slightly angle his blades to disarm Mace Windu, thus Making Obi Wan Kenobi the winner.



Reasoning behind Verdict: Although this battle would be extremely epic to watch, it would play out much like Anakins and Obi Wans duel with Kenobi holding his own and not letting Mace overpower him, even though Mace would look for openings, but Kenobis defense would be too great and eventually his tactics and endurance as well as a skilled swordsman would carry him to victory over Mace Windu, but only by a slight margin. 

Personal thoughts: Although it is favored that offense usually carries a battle, when you come across someone with a stone wall defense and you cannot overcome that person then eventually the offensive person tires out leaving the defensive person to perceive the attacks and give counter attacks and eventually mounting an offensive of their own to overcome the more tired offensive fighter. I know this from swordsmanship over 15 years of experience. Eventually offense is good, but if its not executed and doesn't succeed the repercussions are disastrous.

Boba Fett vs The Predator! 

Hello there! Welcome to Star Wars Fun Opinions where we talk about verses series normally, but today we are still talking about a verses type series only we are doing it in a story form instead of just comparing statistics of characters. However there will be some of that element inside the story. 

The Greatest Hunt In the Galaxy.

Contenders Boba Fett ( Star Wars ) Predator ( Predator series and Yautja race ).

Boba Fett is hired to track down and kill a murdering alien species in the jungle land of Kashyyyk. Fett takes the job though he hears the alien rumored to be the Invisible Death. Fett taking this more as thinking the foe is only a sniper, he plans a phase of attack. Fett then decides to blast the Slave one ship into hyperspace towards the world of Kashyyk. At Kashyyk Fett hears more rumors on where the last attacks where, and how the bodies of the victims were mutilated. Fett sets off into the Kashyyyk  jungle to hunt down this killer.  Fett walks slowly and cautiously through the Kashyyyk looking for any sign of movement. Fett both hears and sees nothing due to him not turning on his heat infrared or antenna. Meanwhile the invisible Predator is up in the trees looking down on Fett and decides to try to make this Mandalorian his new trophy. 

 Fett Suddenly feels an uneasy feeling and contacts his computer on the Slave 1 ship to get a reading on the environment. The Slave 1 Ship immediately detects a life form above Boba Fett sending him information on the area. With his quick reaction to the data from the ship in Boba’s helmet visor he turns on his Infrared and increases his hearing antenna.  There he sees the Predator in his infrared HUD. The Predator looks down at him wondering if he has been seen or not due to him being invisible. Fett does a quick draw first and shoots his EE-Carbine Rifle hitting the Predator in his leg. The Predator screams its bloody roar and jumps across the trees to try and out flank Boba Fett. Boba Fett ignites his Jet Pack to pursue the Invisible Death. Drawing out his EE-Carbine Rifle Fett fires a barrage of blaster bolts through the trees. While some blaster bolts hit  Predator most of the bolts miss due to the Kashyyk thick jungle. The Predator is leaving behind a blood trail of green blood for Fett to follow. As Fett’s Jet pack is running low he has to land so as not to waste all his fuel in pursuit of the invisible enemy. Fett also loses the blood trail for they seemed to have stopped bleeding. As Fett looks around the area to find a blood trail suddenly a blue like plasma round shoots from the trees and hits Fett right in the chest. This doesn’t kill Fett because his armor takes the damage and his power armor liner passes the damage through the whole body. Fett falls to a knee for a second, but stands back up. The Predator keeps firing rounds from the trees at the Bounty Hunter, but Fett decides to point his jet pack rocket launcher up in the trees and fires. This shot doesn’t hit Predator, but the energy from the explosion causes the predator to fall from the trees and hit the ground, though not hurting him because he can jump that high. Fett stands up after being shot 2 times from the Plasma Cannon on the Aliens shoulder. The Predator with its massive 7 foot body stands up to look down on his opponent, bleeding from its arms and legs. The two are only 20 feet apart. Boba’s EE-Carbine Rifle has been hit from a plasma round. The Predator mounts his shoulder canon back on and aims for Boba, but suddenly Boba shoots his wrist rocket from his Gauntlet to destroy the Shoulder Cannon on Predators shoulder. Due to the explosion on his shoulder the Predators mask is severely damaged along with his shoulder cannon. The Predator decides he has found a worthy advisory, one that he can take the pride in killing with his own hands. Boba sees the Alien take off his mask to revile his quite ugly face. However this doesn’t intimidate Boba Fett. The Predator suddenly pulls out his Glaive and Net. With a mighty hurl he throws the net at Boba Fett, but only to have his net burned by Boba’s wrist flame thrower. The alien charges the bounty hunter while throwing the net and closes the distance. His Glaive and Wrist blades ready for combat. Boba’s incredible reaction time quickly dodges the incoming stab from the wrist blades of the Predator and pulls out his vibro blades from his right wrist gauntlet to deflect the glaive attack. Boba Fett attempts a kick to the Predators stomach, but is met with barely a budge. The Predator looks at Boba Fett with a prideful look and power punches the bounty hunter in a show of might. Boba Fett is knocked back 10 feet staggered, but shakes it off and thinks quickly as the Alien is charging in. Boba Fett lifts up his left Gauntlet and fires his Dur-24 wrist launcher into the Predators stomach. This makes direct contact with the Alien and he is knocked down to one knee. Now as both he and Boba Fett stand up to face each other. The Alien in its sheer might charges again at Boba Fett, but before it could reach Boba Fett. Fett activates his jet pack again while upholstering his Sacros K-11 Pistol. He fires a few rounds into the Predator, but again the might of the Alien proves powerful as Predator cocks back his arm and throws the Glaive. The Glaive spear misses Boba’s head, but hits his jet pack. The jet pack sends the bounty hunter flying into a tree. Fett hits the ground from the impact with broken ribs, and internal bleeding, but luckily smoke from the jet pack covers a 10 foot gape. The Predator uses its natural infrared vision to barely see the wounded bounty hunter in the smoke and charges at him with his wrist blades out ready to claim his trophy. As the Predator stabs at the Mandalorian, a flash of green light appears from the smoke and suddenly the Aliens arms are seen flying off with. The Predator lets out a bloody roar. As the beast screams in disbelief and agony Boba Fett rises from the smoke and decapitates the Predator with his collected lightsaber, giving the predator no time to activate his self-destruct bomb. The Bounty Hunter has won. He truly is the best hunter in the Galaxy, but only by experience. 

The Winner: 

The verdict reasoning: Although the Preditor had a superior physical ability and endurance, Fett never goes into a fight without his equipment and yes even a lightsaber, the thing is Fett has hunted and killed Jedi before so not only does he collect Jedi braids, but it is likely he has collected the Lightsabers as well as a trophy type weapon, but it is seen in the comics he does briefly fight Darth Vader for a short period with a Lightsaber he collected. This shows Fetts abilities to fight opponents far above his level. Predator had the offensive and physical ability, but in this fight Fett had the skills to combat, the equipment to out put, and the element of surprise to leave the predator who is more honor based vulnerable and can be tricked into surprise attacks. 

However this is my opinion and short story for who would win, what do you think of the Story? Leave a comment below and like if you enjoyed it! Til next time have a great day!

The Battle of The Sith Apprentices 

    

In this round we will be looking at the warriors who filled the apprentice roles, one serving under Darth Sidious and the other serving under Count Dooku. 

This is a verses battle between two former opponents so therefore much of their same states will be used from previous post before. 

As always we will analyze from 4 rounds: Physical Abilities, Dueling Skills, Force Abilities, and Tactics.  

Let the battle begin!

Round 1: Physical Abilities 

Darth Maul 

Darth Maul: was a well built humanoid Zabarak Warrior who was in his physical prime, considered to be stronger than most, in fact he was highly conditioned to do long engagements with enemy fighters and last for a long time in battle. If we were to rate on a scale of 1-10 on how good of shape Darth Maul was in he would be reaching a 9.5-10, he is the perfect fighting condition duelist. He is not only physically strong, but extremely fast as we and agile in his movements. He is seen using many physical strikes within his combat sequences as well as performing aerial flips during duels crediting his physical abilities. He also has a great endurance for engagements and has one of the highest pain thresholds due to his species, he can tank mounts of pain and keep fighting. In short you wouldnt want to go against Maul and expect to last.

General Grievous 

     

General Grievous: General Grievous is a cyborg which means he has enhanced strength and speed that of super humans aka Jedi strength and speed, but more on the faster and powerful side. Because General Grievous is a cyborg and he as cybernetic body he doesnt tire, which means he can give an unlimited output of onslaught attacks and not be tired, the General is so fast that he can dodge force base attacks and close the distance quick on his opponents resorting them to Lightsaber combat. The Generals body is also made of DuraSteel which is strong enough to resist light placed Lightsaber strikes making him a walking fighting speedy humanoid tank. The General is also enhanced with Jedi type reflexes as well as the General is pretty finesse when he needs to be. The General also has 4 arms he cause use at his disposal in case one gets hacked off, but regardless The General will always be in the fight til the end.

The winner by physical abilities, although Maul is extremely impressive with his physical prowess he eventually can get tired when compared to a machine that can keep going just based of a physical ability alone.  

Winner by scale of 1-10 

Grievous 6, but in terms of physical condition of 1-10 Grievous is a 10 

Maul 4, but in terms of physical condition of 1-10 Maul is a 9.5

Round 2: Dueling Abilities

Darth Maul

Darth Maul was considered to be one of the finest duelist in Star Wars History, I mean in the Top 7 Duelist in the Galaxy. He was able to combat both Obi Wan Kenobi ( Padowan, but fought later as he was a Jedi Master too ) Qui Gon Jin in the first episode and manages to slay Qui Gon. Qui Gon was considered to be one of the finer swordsmen of the Jedi Order at the time. Darth Maul was also able to contend with Darth Sidious 1 on 1 for a while until he was out maneuvered and then defeated by the Dark Lords Force powers. However, make no Mistake Darth Maul has fought not only Jedi, but Count Dooku, Asasjj Ventress, and General Grievous as well and managed to live through them. Darth Mauls dueling style was Form 7 Juyo which was the highly aggressive and offensive form of combat. The Form was considered to be unpredictable and rapid in attacks giving great offensive output onslaughts. However, that doesn't mean Maul didn't have balance as due to his double sided lightsaber he was able to do attacks and counter attacks if opponents attacked him. He was a greatly gifted duelist I would say only the best of the best could contend with Maul and live to tell about it, or be lucky enough to escape before its too late. Maul also had a practiced hand in single bladed combat, and dual blade fencing as well called Jar Kai.   

Grievous

           

 

Trained by the famous swordsman Count Dooku, Grievous was taught to be unorthodox as well have a high skill in all 7 Lightsaber forms. General Grievous has the skill and experience to be considered a Master Leveled swordsman on Jedi Master Level duelist. The General has had many experiences in fighting clones, other alien races, and of course Jedi. Here are some list of his accomplished fights from greatest powers to least.

1.  Master level/ Sith Lord: Count Dooku, Obi Wan, Kit Fisto, Mace Windu, Eeth Koth, Ala Secura, Shak Tii, Ki Adi Mundi, Darth Maul ( briefly )
2.Jedi Knight/Sith Apprentice: Asajj Ventress, Nahdar Vebb, Roron Corobb, Foul Moudama, Daakman Barrek,
3. Padowan/ Jedi: Ashoka Tano, Sha'a Gi, Tarr Seirr, and much more
4. Arc Troopers
5. Normal Clone Troopers/ Basic military units

The point of this is that Grievous is shown to be really proficient with dueling and has great experience against powerful beings and foes, he is very combat hardened and highly trained enough that he took on groups of Jedi at a time, not just one or two, but groups of high trained Jedi. General Grievous because he has 4 arms can wield 4 Lightsabers at the same time with complete control without damaging himself. Not only this, but the General usually overwhelms his opponents with his onslaught of attacks breaking peoples defensive barriers as well as he can have a devastating onslaught of attacks that makes it perfect for opponents who try to out offense Grievous. This is why the Jedi Council sent Obi Wan Kenobi, because it was near impossible to take an offensive approach against the general, hence why they sent the perfect master of defensive combat. Only the best swordsmen would be able to out duel Grievous. Despite Grevious's successes and experiences, most of his Master Level Jedi he has fought has either beaten him and he escaped or  came to a draw. He only beat one Jedi Master, but it was with the help of his Magna Guards as well. However despite the use of his Magna guards, General Grievous would be able combat Jedi on his own.

Winner by scale of 1-10 

Although Grievous was able to take on highly trained Jedi, he would have a harder time to fight against someone like Darth Maul due to his ferocity. 

Maul 6

Grievous 4 

 Round 3: Force Abilities

DARTH MAUL

Darth Maul was considered to be a powerful force user, he was trained by the Dark Lord of The Sith, Darth Sidious. He used most of his abilities in his physical combat, this helps to contribute to his higher pain threshold, his insane strength and endurance, as well as his force precognition was on point, precognition is when you have foresight of the future, hence why in the prequels it looks like choreographed dance fighting because its so smooth of these warriors in their prime. Darth Maul had good use of his basic attacks of Force Push, Force Pull, Force Throw, as well as Force Speed, he also uses the Dark Side of the Force to fuel his anger and hatred in gaining him power.  

Grievous 

General Grievous again has no force powers what so ever. He is Forceless, but that does not mean he is completely helpless against the use of The Force against him. He was trained by Count Dooku on how to dodge and maneuver around the force and its powerful abilities, only catching him off guard with a force push or power is what will make him lose focus. However, General Grievous has gone up against many powerful Force Wielders who used their advance techniques on him, but he managed to quickly recover or evade the incoming attacks, also he has clawed very powerful cyborg legs and feet that allow him to be planted to the ground at all times if he wishes. He was once pushed by a dragon breath force ability capable of sending hundreds of battle droids flying, but Grievous stood and even advanced through the maximized force push. However, if someone is deadly and quick enough to use Force Crush it would take a high powerful Jedi to collapse Grievous's chest
cavity. 

Winner by scale of 1-10 

Although Maul had a basic attack sequence they were quite powerful, but Maul often used his force abilities within his fighting styles and only really relied on them when necessary, however despite all of the Generals experience and advances with dueling force sensitives there was a show case when Maul effectively used the force on General Grievous. I assume Maul will know how to use the force on the General due to his great combat experience. 

Maul: 7 

Grievous 3

Round 4: Tactic Abilities 

Darth Maul

Darth Maul was considered to be a great dueling tactic mind, he was able to contend with two Jedi at the same time and make it difficult for both of them to overcome him, not only that, but Darth Maul was able to lure out Obi Wan Kenobi by causing some destruction around the Galaxy and trapping and even capturing the Great Tactic mind like Obi Wan Kenobi. Maul also took over the warrior planet Mandelore and controlled that section for a short time, he became so much of a dangerous force that even the Emperor himself wen to deal with him. Eventually Maul always skeemed to get revenge on those who do him wrong, such as Obi Wan Kenobi, he succeed in his revenge by killing Obi Wan Kenobi's love right in front of him only to see the Jedi Master broken. ( Wait Obi Wan had  a love connection? Yes he had a prior love connection and harbored feelings, but it didnt destroy him). However, the point was that Darth Maul usually knows how to succeed in his plans and strategy. He is a master manipulator and is able to trick people into doing his bidding.

General Grievous

The General was a brilliant tactic mind when it came to battle and war, many regarded him as a legendary leader when it came to fighting his opponents not only be conventional military on military force, but as a duelist as well. General Grievous was a master of using fear and intimidation as well as surprise when facing his opponents. This would cause someone to lose their moral during a fight thus leaving them vulnerable for his onslaught of attacks. General Grievous as well is very bold and fearless when it comes to initiating an assault, but the big difference between him and Rey is that if Grievous takes an initial attack he can back it up with experience and onslaught causing more duelist to on their back foot and defend giving him momentum. Grievous will normally initiate a duel with only 2 arms and 2 light sabers causing the opponent to fall into a false sense of security, but much like his battle with Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama he engaged with only 2 blades at once letting them fall into the false sense, but then once he detached his arms to make 4 arms he surprised them and quickly cut through them. The General took Count Dooku's lessons of dueling to heart and applied them as often as he can making him a brilliant tactician.

Victor in the round by 1-10 

Darth Maul 6

Grievous 4 

Although the two would greatly challenge each other, General Grievous wouldnt have any types of intimidation on the Sith Lord apprentice, but rather this would only fuel Maul to use his fear if he had any to feed his Dark Side Abilities. 

Scenario: 

This battle would take place on the planet of Mandalor. Darth Maul's new home planet that he is control of. General Grievous would be sent with a massive Droid Army ordered by Count Dooku only without his help. The General would be dispatched with his best units to face off against the Mandolorian Warriors following Darth Maul and an epic battle would ensue. Many casualties of the Droids and Warriors would suffer greatly with each combatant slicing their way through ranks and scores of soldiers and robotic combatants. As the two warriors made their way on the battlefield they would eventually find each other, Darth Maul would look on to see Grievous slicing and dicing his way through 10 warriors, quick flashes from his sabers would be an amazing sight for Maul to witness. Savage Oppress would also be witness and charge at the Robotic General, but with after a few moments of brilliant dueling, Oppress would fall with his double sided light saber rolling out of his hand. Maul would be enraged that his brother fell to such a robotic monster and force pull Oppresses weapon to him. " You just woke a darkness that will consume you, monster". With a robotic laugh Grievous would rebuttal " I hope you're a more challenging opponent than he was, I look forward to adding your lightsaber to my collection." 

Maul would ignite the double sided lightsaber and leap at the General, quickly flashes of red, blue, and green blades would be dancing off the Mandolorian buildings, as though there was a glorious and horrifying lightshow of colors, the quickness and speed of the flashes would be so fast it would almost be considered blinding to on lookers. As the battle raged on Grievous would get a lucky slice in and cut the double bladed lightsaber in half, then with a swift and powerful kick he would send Maul flying back, as the General advanced to Maul he would suddenly feel a heavy and powerful force push back knocking him into a wall. The General would stand up to see Darth Maul ignite his cut in half original Saber  as well as ignite the ancient Jedi Saber. The two would clash again matching speed, strength, and dexterity, but suddenly Mauls superior skills with lightsaber combat would start to slowly push the General on his back foot, the General would suddenly reach out and extend his four arms to the Red Warrior, suddenly Maul would be surprised, but no matter he would engage and not back down, with Grievous rushing at Maul with the four light sabers' spinning and flashing everywhere the two would reengage and Maul would be out dodging the attacks, blocking, and eventually after some time start to make cuts into the Generals 4 armed combat style, slowly, but surely Darth Maul would be dismantling General Grievous, eventually out skilling him with blade work and as a finisher uses force choke on the General to end his life. 

The winner for this battle is Darth Maul

The Smuggling Scoundrel vs The Galatic Bounty Hunter

In this match up between the two contestants we will be doing the same as we have always done in our previous articles, each person will be judge on 4 categories followed by a scenario battle, without further a due lets dive into the battle of Han Solo vs Boba Fett

Round 1: Physical abilities

                            VS                                           

Han Solo: A taller and well built human male, he is athletically strong and fast. He isn't a Jedi or a Sith, but he is what one would consider to be athletic almost on a semi pro athlete level. This almost undermines him, simply put he is in great shape. When I say fast I mean he has a very quick hand for a quick draw from his blaster on the level of top tier cowboy duelist. If you have your guard down around Han he might just surprise you. Han also has a good endurance for long missions, battles, and even torture. On a scale of 1-10 Han has a solid 7.

Boba Fett: Boba Fett was a Clone from the famous Jedi Killer Jango Fett, but Jango didn't want Boba altered like the rest of his clone counter parts so he was a normal human born with Jango's DNA. Boba Fett was considered extremely well physically conditioned and had his fathers abilities in physical proweless. Boba Fett was considered strong enough to fight 1 on 1 with a wookie and win, fast enough to kill Jedi, and stealthy enough that even force sensetives has a hard time tracking him. Boba Fett would put pro athletes to shame on his speed, strength, endurance, and stealth. Scale of 1-10, Boba Fett is a 9 for not being a force sensitive.

Winner of round 1: Boba Fett, he wouldn't be considered the galaxies greatest bounty hunter if he wasn't fit for the job.

Round 2: duelist/fighting abilities

     VS      

Han Solo: Han Solo was a great combatant on a field when he came against storm troopers or whoever really, we will see more in his upcoming anthology film. Han was a very quick hand with his blaster and often caught his enemies by surprise or opportunity. He had quick reflexes to usually get the jump on his foes, but often once his foes knew he was there it just became a fire fight. Han solo was also a great marksman and able to hit his targets often if not always. However Han was very direct once noticed and engaged in fire fights often, but that isn't to say at times he isn't clever and can be stealthy like when he was on the death star or at star killer base. However, each time he went he was discovered and then engaged in a fight. On a scale of 1-10 as a blaster weilder 9

Boba Fett: Boba Fett grew up training with Clone ARC troopers as well as being personally taught from his father Jango Fett ( the greatest bounty hunter at the time) and later the runner up greatest bounty hunters. Near the end of Boba Fetts training he killed Cade Bane the runner up and 2nd to Jango hence his dent in his helmet from a quick draw duel.  Boba Fetts whole life has been being trained as a gun for hire or soldier, he is considered one of the greatest shots, fastest shots, clever tactitional minds for his bounties, and also been in the clone wars leading up to parts of the galactic civil war. Boba Fett has plenty of war experience and he uses it well. In regards to speed or surprises, no one surprises Boba Fett or can outpace him in shooting.
On a scale of 1-10 as a blaster weilder 10.

Winner of round 2: Boba Fett, Han is a great combatant and ground soldier, but Boba Fett has faced many more enemies and has a bigger range of experience.

 Round 3: Tactics

       VS        

Han Solo: Han Solo was considered a great tactic mind, he was often clever and very bold, he often knew when to attack, when to evade, how to sneak in or sneak out, he was considered a great smuggler, so if anything he was a top tier professional thief in the galaxy. He has a lot of experience in dealing with the empire and knowing how to make a plan, he was successful on his mission on Endor when it came to sabotage tactics, he succeed on rescuing princess Leia from the Death Star even though he fought his way through he did survive. Usually Han had to make up plans on the fly and improvise, but sometime that can only get you so far, after all he did get captured on Endor to begin with, but when the Ewoks helped he took that as an opportunity to fight with his squadron. On a scale of 1-10 on tactics Han is a 8, only because he is so good with his plans on the fly.

Boba Fett: Being the greatest bounty hunter in the world usually has well thought out planning and executions, normally in books, comics, or tv series, Boba fett always studies his enemies before taking a job, he always lures them into a trap of his choosing and often executes them when they don't expect it, however that doesn't mean Boba fett cant adapt on the fly either, after all in his profession not all plans go accordingly. Boba Fetts biggest successes in luring his prey is when he traps Mace Windu as a boy for revenge, Tracks down Han Solo's ship while hiding in garbage, assassinating high level crime bosses in their guarded homes, killing Jedi. Boba Fett is a great hunter if your not getting the jist by now. on a scale of 1-10 Boba gets a 8

Winner of this round: Tie 

Both can adapt on the fly and both know when to execute their plans. 

Round 4: Equipment

       

Han Solo: Han Solo only carried one thing, a good blaster, his DL-44 was considered illegal to the empire due to its ability to go through the armor of storm troopers, in short its pretty much the .44 Magnum of the Star Wars. Han also had a light jacket for good moment and silence, but other than that he didnt have much else. On a scale of 1-10 Han gets a 5 because he only has his skills and a good blaster. If he sustains an injury he doesnt have armor to protect him and he can be vulnerable for other attacks.

Boba Fett: Boba Fett was considered a Swiss army knife of star wars, he had Mandolorian Armor capable of taking heavy blaster fire, even light-medium placed lightsaber strikes, a special fiber suit for when injured it would work as a pressure system to keep him from bleeding out or holding his body in place. He also had wrist gauntlets full of different items such a wrist rockets, a flame thrower, and a wire bolo shooter to capture enemies. as well as he had his utility for hacking, scanning, blocking devices. Boba Fetts gun was a EE-3 Carbine Blaster Rifle, good for short and medium engagements, but it shot on a triple burst fire and semi, this was another illegal gun to have for the empire. Boba fett also had  a rocket launcher jet pack capable of making him fly for short distances, shooting devastating rockets, and having a quick escape from his enemies or a quick chase to get to them. However, all of these impressive feats combined do not match up to Boba Fetts helmet, his helmet has a 360 degree sonar tracking device that literally lets him be aware of all his surrounding areas, he can have night vision, thermal vision, and heat vision in his helmet, it also has a system inside to take care of toxins if in the area, it also is the most durable part of his armor. On a scale of 1-10, its a 10, I would say Boba Fett dresses to the 9's, but he is so well equipped that hardly anyone would beat him in readiness. 

Winner of round 4 by scale of 1-10 

Boba Fett: 8

Han Solo: 2  

Scenario: 

This battle will take place on Endor, the forest planet with the Ewoks.

Han Solo would be leading a stealth mission through the heavy forest of Endor, Han was tasked with a recon mission trying to find a way into the Imperial Base, as Han would be sneaking through the forest he would hear a snap from a twig, immediately he would quick draw his pistol pointing at the direction of the snap, but nothing happened, it was like something was standing there, but there wasn't anything, as Han would holster his weapon, Boba Fett would be leerking in the bushes. As Han continued he would find his way to the back of the Imperial base and would try to signal the others, but his communication device would suddenly be shot from his hand. Han would quickly draw his blaster and return fire at the tree from which the blast came from blaster bolts would hit the tree where Boba was standing, Fett thought " Best not to underestimate him" suddenly Fetts jetpack would ignite and he would be sending a wrist rocket at Han. Han Solo would suddenly dive showing his instinct from previous combat experience and dodge the blast of the rocket, but he couldn't rest for long because immediately after his roll he would be dodging more blaster fire from Fett, much to Fetts surprise he would be impressed by the skills of the smuggler. " Guess ill have to burn him out" Fett would ignite his flamethrower and cause fire to the forest, this would result in Han rushing his way toward the base and surprising the storm troopers on guard, he would expertly and quickly blast through them and rush inside with some of their thermal detonators, Fett knew Han would try to destroy the instruments inside the base. Quickly Fett would rush in, but his Jet pack would run out of fuel. "I still got 1 good rocket" As Fett rushed in Han would suprise him with a few blaster shots aimed at him. The blaster bolts would miss save 1 that would deflect off Boba Fett's shoulder Armor. Boba would also return fire and hit Han in the Arm as well. With Hans Arm bleeding Boba would track him through the base. Han would be sneaking from corridor to corridor doing his best to silently step, but Boba Fetts helmet contained his 360 degree sensory of Hans every foot step, as Han walked down a dark hallway he would barely see the light shine off of a helmet and suddenly he would dodge again with a blaster bolt jolting past him. Again to the Bounty Hunters surprise a quick shot was made and Fett was hit in the arm, only this time the blaster went between the armor, luckily Fetts special fiber suit would truncate itself around the wound so he would have some minor use of his arm. Fett would bend down and shoot his rocket lighting up the dark corridor, with Han solo exposing himself the hunter and smuggler would be face to face in a quick draw type scenario, as both stared at each other a moment stood still to where one would think that the men shot lighting, both men went falling to the floor, but after a while Boba Fett would stand up and claim his bounty, only his Mandolorian helmet would be badly damaged from Hans DL-44 blaster, Boba would trophy the weapon as his best and most challenging bounty.

In this match up we will be comparing their Physical, Dueling, Tactical, and Force abilities against each other and later end the duel in a scenario.

Round 1: Physical Abilites

Darth Maul 

Darth Maul was a well built humanoid Zabarak Warrior who was in his physical prime, considered to be stronger than most, in fact he was highly conditioned to do long engagements with enemy fighters and last for a long time in battle. If we were to rate on a scale of 1-10 on how good of shape Darth Maul was in he would be reaching a 9.5-10, he is the perfect fighting condition duelist. He is not only physically strong, but extremely fast as we and agile in his movements. He is seen using many physical strikes within his combat sequences as well as performing aerial flips during duels crediting his physical abilities. He also has a great endurance for engagements and has one of the highest pain thresholds due to his species, he can tank mounts of pain and keep fighting. In short you wouldnt want to go against Maul and expect to last. 

Mace Windu

Mace Windu was a Human Jedi who was older in his years around 40, but he was just as good in shape as men half his age. He was considered one of the most powerful force users in the Jedi order and was gifted with great physical abilities, Mace Windu was considered to be one of the most in shape Jedi of the order, on a scale of 1-10 on physical conditioning, Mace Windu would be at a 9, I say 9 due to his older age, but dont let that fool you in how well he is conditioned. Mace Windu was well conditioned to have marathon lightsaber duels as well as engage with enemies who were younger and stronger than he was, but to give you an idea of how strong Mace Windu was during a battle in the clone wars he destroyed over 100,000 battle droids in a fight and slayed many of them just using his bare hands. This speaks greatly to his strength, speed, agility, and endurance to last in a fight. Mace also was able to keep up with the speeds of Grand Master Yoda and Darth Sidious who were considered some of the fastest beings in the galaxy. He fought on equal offensive output as General Grievous who could strike up to 20 strikes per second, if not Mace Windu could put more of an offensive output making him deathly quick.  

The winner of this round 1-10

Darth Maul 5

Mace Windu 5

Although I said Maul was at a 10 and Mace was at a 9 that doest mean Maul would be able to outlast him nor Mace able to outlast Maul they both would go in giving it their all til a killing blow is struck. 

Round 2: Dueling Abilites

Darth Maul

Darth Maul was considered to be one of the finest duelist in Star Wars History, I mean in the Top 7 Duelist in the Galaxy. He was able to combat both Obi Wan Kenobi ( Padowan, but fought later as he was a Jedi Master too ) Qui Gon Jin in the first episode and manages to slay Qui Gon. Qui Gon was considered to be one of the finer swordsmen of the Jedi Order at the time. Darth Maul was also able to contend with Darth Sidious 1 on 1 for a while until he was out maneuvered and then defeated by the Dark Lords Force powers. However, make no Mistake Darth Maul has fought not only Jedi, but Count Dooku, Asasjj Ventress, and General Grievous as well and managed to live through them. Darth Mauls dueling style was Form 7 Juyo which was the highly aggressive and offensive form of combat. The Form was considered to be unpredictable and rapid in attacks giving great offensive output onslaughts. However, that doesn't mean Maul didn't have balance as due to his double sided lightsaber he was able to do attacks and counter attacks if opponents attacked him. He was a greatly gifted duelist I would say only the best of the best could contend with Maul and live to tell about it, or be lucky enough to escape before its too late. 

Mace Windu

 

Mace Windu was considered 2nd to none in Lightsaber Combat, he was one of the best and most powerful lightsaber combatants anyone has ever seen. He not only was able to contend with Darth Sidious by himself, but he outfought Sidious, though some speculate Sidious through the fight, but allow me to elaborate, At first yes Sidious threw the fight to save time for Anakin to see that Windu was attacking him, but during that fight Sidious regretted allowing Mace to live for a moment because this allowed  Mace Windu to actually use his form Vaapad and was starting to get the actual upper hand on the Sith Lord and Sidious feared his arrogance of that moment would cost him his life. Mace Windu is the master who created the Form 7 style of Vaapad, this was a form that allowed Jedi to enter into the fight and enjoy the duel and use the opponents dark side abilities against them. It is much like the Sith Form 7 Style Juyo, but only used for the light side of the force, but not many Jedi Practiced it due to its nature to lure Jedi to the Dark Side. Mace has even effortlessly decapitated the most dangerous bounty hunter Jango Fett as well and often Sparred against Count Dooku, a person who was on his level besides Yoda or Sidious. If anything Mace Windu is an accomplished Duelist who only the best of the best could stand up to. 

Winner of this round by scale of 1-10 

Darth Maul: 4.9

Mace Windu: 5.1

Seriously its almost so close its negligible, but this would be an ultimate duel of the two masters apprentices, Yoda's prodigy vs Sidious's Apprentice. If either of them slips up at all during this fight with each other its likely the other will perish to ones blade work. Windu only has the slight advantage because he can use Darth Mauls Dark Side energy against him, but that alone wouldn't be enough to beat Darth Maul.  

  

Round 3: Force Abilites

DARTH MAUL

Darth Maul was considered to be a powerful force user, he was trained by the Dark Lord of The Sith, Darth Sidious. He used most of his abilities in his physical combat, this helps to contribute to his higher pain threshold, his insane strength and endurance, as well as his force precognition was on point, precognition is when you have foresight of the future, hence why in the prequels it looks like choreographed dance fighting because its so smooth of these warriors in their prime. Darth Maul had good use of his basic attacks of Force Push, Force Pull, Force Throw, as well as Force Speed, he also uses the Dark Side of the Force to fuel his anger and hatred in gaining him power. 

MACE WINDU 

Mace Windu was considered a very powerful Jedi Master in the force, second to Yoda, he was gifted in many attributes of the abilities the force granted him. He was gifted with great precognition foresight, force crush, force push, speed, throw, physical strength and agility, and his greatest force ability shatter point: This ability is able to look for the weaknesses in opponents, like starting at a perfect shaped mirror, but being able to see the weak point. In his battles Mace Windu has been seen sending hundreds of battle droids flying by a powerful force push, he is also a Jedi who knows mind trick, force infiltration: This is when you can go inside someones mind to read their thoughts. In anything short Mace Windu was considered to be the Chosen One, until Anakin came along. 

Winner by scale of 1-10 

Darth Maul: 4

Mace Windu: 6

Round 4: Tactics 

Darth Maul was considered to be a great dueling tactic mind, he was able to contend with two Jedi at the same time and make it difficult for both of them to overcome him, not only that, but Darth Maul was able to lure out Obi Wan Kenobi by causing some destruction around the Galaxy and trapping and even capturing the Great Tactic mind like Obi Wan Kenobi. Maul also took over the warrior planet Mandelore and controlled that section for a short time, he became so much of a dangerous force that even the Emperor himself wen to deal with him. Eventually Maul always skeemed to get revenge on those who do him wrong, such as Obi Wan Kenobi, he succeed in his revenge by killing Obi Wan Kenobi's love right in front of him only to see the Jedi Master broken. ( Wait Obi Wan had  a love connection? Yes he had a prior love connection and harbored feelings, but it didnt destroy him). However, the point was that Darth Maul usually knows how to succeed in his plans and strategy. He is a master manipulator and is able to trick people into doing his bidding. 

Mace Windu 

Mace Windu was a great, powerful, and wise Jedi Master. He was a very great strategist in his tactics when it came on engagements. Mace was one of the greatest Generals in the Clone Wars, normally taking on the hardest and most deadly missions other armies had to offer. Mace normally succeeded in his missions as well as his task, however when it comes to dueling he is very direct and forward, one would say his rushing to Palatines office was considered rash and wreckless when it came to confronting the Dark Lord of The Sith, Mace underestimated his opponent by only taking 4 Jedi Masters, however one could argue he didnt underestimate his opponent if he took 4 Jedi Masters, but that is always up for debate. However, despite Mace Windu's direct and forward approach, he can manage to do it because he is able to back it up and hold his own in almost any situation. 

Winner by rate of 1-10

  Darth Maul: 5

Mace Windu: 5

The Scenario

VS

       


This battle will take place in the Coruscant Senate building, only instead of Mace Windu going to confront the Chancloer with his 4 Jedi, Mace instead finds the Former apprentice of the Sith hunting down Palpatine. The two would stare at each other for a moment, and Mace would say " So your the one who killed Qui Gon Jin." Darth Maul would smile and remove his robes and get into a stance ready for battle. Maul igniting his double sided lightsaber would be ready for Mace Windu to take the approach and wait for his opponent to make the first move. Mace Windu would ignite his lightsaber and begin his attack first, Maul would notice how fast and aggressive Mace Windu's strikes were and how it dawned on him the familiarity of the style, it was like his Juyo, but only not. Maul would reassess the situation and begin putting counter strikes into the Jedi Masters sequence, Mindu would be very strong to see these counters coming and use an offensive move to counter Darth Mauls Counters, but then Windu would suddenly feel a kick against his chest, as he went flying back he would see Darth Maul leap in the air ready to commit to an assault of his own, as Windu would land on his feet and regain composure he and Maul would be striking at each other blow for blow matching each others speed, strength, agility, and ferocity. The room would be flashing with bright colors of red and purple as the two would battle it out, through the dark city one could speculate that the flashes of red and purple lighting were in the sky. Inside the room Maul would use a force push to knock Mace Windu off balance, but Windu would simply do an areal assault and land on his feet, he would return a force push only for Maul to tank it and stand in a strong warrior position. This was starting to become a contest to the will of the warrior. Both would again engage in a jaw dropping lightsaber exchange as both ferocity warriors would strike and counter, strike and counter, only no one is able to get the upper hand on each other, the more this duel played out though the more clear Mace Windu's Vaapad would start to kick in and see the Dark Force users power and start to work it against him. This would happen as then Mace would see Mauls greatest weakness, his double sided lightsaber, with a quick swing of his blade, Mace Windu would cut Darth Mauls lightsaber in half, and suddenly kick Maul to the ground with one of Mauls lightsaber half's falling out the senate building window. Attempting to make a finishing move on Maul by striking down, Maul would quickly leap up to avoid a final lightsaber strike, and reengage with Mace Windu Single blade to single blade. Mace and Maul would land a few strikes of punches and kicks to each other, but then finally Mace Knew what he would have to do to finish this fight. Mace would allow Maul to attack with his ferocity and let Maul give into his anger and hate, for he had Vaapad, and it succeeds though not without sacrifice, as Maul would continue his onslaught Mace would strike true and cut the sith in half finally seeing an opening, but Maul would take Mace Windu's arm in the process. As Maul would fall out the window cut in Half, Mace would be recalling the Jedi Masters for assistance and be rushed to a Jedi Temple to regain a robotic hand, the attack on the Emperor would have to wait.

My Personal Thoughts and opinons

In the end not much force abilities would really be used in this battle, the only time they would be used is if one would get distance over the other. In this circumstance it wouldnt be a powerful force push that would decide a winner, but rather the influences of the force within a fight, both Mace Windu and Maul would be on equal footing the entire time in dueling the only reason Mace Windu would win is because of his force abilities shatter point, and Vaapad to use Mauls dark energy against him, slowly, but surely, however with great sacrifice.

The winner 

Mace Windu: 5.2 out of 10 times. 

Darth Maul: 4.8 out of 10 times.
