hey sexy what time do you plan on being done grieving

[maulfucker]

not "pro-jedi" in the sense that i support the jedi as an institution but just "pro-jedi" as in i am not "pro-sith".

people are wrong about chosen family. chosen family can become just as involuntary and inescapable as regular family if you use your fucking imagination

Every "cool" clone name should come free with an embarrassing backstory imo. Nobody's gonna reverently call you "Rex" because you did something impressive, I mean, come on

I was originally gonna leave this in the tags but the character limit started pissing me off so I'm saying it in the post proper —

Maul is not the gloating type most of the time, actually. See his duel with Pre Vizsla for the throne of Mandalore for example: he lets the fight drag on for longer than he probably needed to, yes, but once it's clear he's won he goes straight for the kill. When the stakes are clear, he doesn't play around.

In his fight with Ahsoka he wasn't really trying to kill her, he was trying to get her to join his side. His overconfidence in this case was in his ideals, not in his fighting ability.

His overconfidence only really comes out when fighting jedi, so whether or not he would get distracted before dealing the finishing blow entirely depends on whether or not he would consider Qimir a jedi. (personally I would say he doesn't count as a jedi, but who knows)

He has experience fighting enemies who use "tricks" to try to win at any cost — once again see his duel with Vizsla for example: Vizsla spends half the fight in the air and throws all sorts of things at Maul, and all it does is gain time and piss him off, so even the hidden lightsaber dagger might not surprise him much. But Vizsla is not nearly as experienced in lightsaber combat, so Qimir would probably fare much better than he did against Maul.

(but also Maul was fighting with a single blade rather than his usual dual blade, so he wasn't even at full power, so to speak)

But — and this is a factor canon doesn't seem to be aware of most of the time so some might prefer to disregard it — as a zabrak Maul has one big advantage over every human enemy: increased stamina. The longer the fight lasts the better his chances of winning.

So I'd say overall Maul has a better chance of winning, but definitely not an easy win either way

Crazy to me that this of all things is what makes me type out a post when I have so many in drafts just waiting to be completed but hey. Gotta vent. Here goes.

Everyone was commenting in bad faith, in the comments and X is where intelligent discourse goes to perish, so taking this seriously (or as seriously as a "who would win" debate can allow):

This could go either way!

On the one hand, yes, Maul is the more skilled fighter.

Sure, technique-wise, Qimir is very skilled... but he fights like "a mean Jedi who cheats in a fight."

Maul-- *Darth Maul fights like a Sith Lord. He's been trained the old fashioned Sith way from a very early age.

From a narrative POV too, this tracks.

Qimir's master is Plagueis, essentially a Sith whose interest and focus is in science and the occult. He taught Sidious just enough for the latter to master the seven forms, then went back to his research.

Sidious, on the other hand, was a political animal who NEEDED a more fighting-savvy apprentice to do the dirty work in the shadows, and thus molded Maul to be such a weapon.

And you see this too in how either fighter maintains control of a duel.

I'd rank Sol and Qui-Gon at a comparable level.

We see that when Sol gets either angry OR focused, Qimir finds himself at a disadvantage and begins to falter, either retreating or drastically changing tactics. Qimir loses both those fights.

Compare with how Maul handled Qui-Gon in either of those states. He lets Qui-Gon rush at him, then resorts to dirty tricks when Qui-Gon is in a more defensive state. That's how a Sith does it. That's why Maul wins.

HOWEVER! Maul has a flaw that he never, ever outgrows.

In a situation where he's superior, he gets arrogant. He gets cocky. He takes his sweet time to gloat and do the flips and whirl the saber and taunt his prey.

It's why Obi-Wan almost always beats him. It's why Ahsoka, an inferior fighter, beats him too. It's why he didn't see Sidious coming.

Like a true Sith, Maul's overconfidence is his weakness.

You know who doesn't have that weakness?

The guy who does have Jedi training. Who put in the work and already outgrew his own ego and arrogance.

Friggin' Qimir.

Who is seen pulling off no-bullshit kill after no-bullshit kill. Screw the pageantry, screw a clean win.

Padawan breaks his mask? Stabbed in the heart.

Jedi attacks him by surprise? Breaks his neck.

Multiple Jedi attack him? Trakata moves left and right until they're all dead.

So Qimir is a more calculating and focused fighter.

Which means that what a duel between the two comes down to is external circumstances. Their levels aren't so distant that Maul would blitz the Stranger, this would be a long duel.

That said, Qimir is more likely to die in the heat of battle.

But if Maul merely wounds him? Then 9 times out of 10 he'll hang around and gloat, which is something Qimir would capitalize on to deliver a killing blow.

Procrastination over, venting complete.

lightsabers have one fatal flaw: you cannot use them to homoerotically tip up somebody’s chin during a sword fight. that would hurt very bad actually
