Talk:Darth Maul vs Black Panther/@comment-27019676-20191211232619

I cannot agree with the result.

"Yeah, he does have a strength advantage, Black Panther on the other hand, he have a speed advantage, since he's fast enough to caught Wolverine off guard, and that guy tagged the Speed Demon."

Maul has a common ability amongst the Star Wars universe to travel at speeds faster then the eye can see, which also translates to subsonic movement. Tagging Wolverine is impressive, but compared to actual combat/travel speed feats, Maul is far superior, constantly using precise movements with lightsaber to deflect laser fire on a daily basis, not to mention keeping up in combat with the likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous. Maul is generally the faster one here, especially in terms of combat speed.

"Wiz: That's right, while lightsaber is powerful, but unfortunately, lightsaber have one fatal flaw.

Boomstick: And that is...?

Wiz: Lightsaber can't cut through the stronger materials.

Boomstick: You serious???"

Define "stronger materials", because not only is that incredibly vague, but it also theoretically isn't true. It can cut through most metals like tissue paper, and its also been stated to be able to cut through durasteel, which can resist kinetic attacks with ease.

"Wiz: That's right, we can take a look at Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back where Darth Vader, and Luke's first fight where we look at Luke's strike at Darth Vader's shoulder, but look at it carefully, he didn't cut through Vader's armor, but it didn't just blocked it attack, it bounce off.

Boomstick: Yeah, it did bounce off, but it did hurt Vader though, but then again, if he could can cut it, Darth Vader would've been dead in a instant, thanks to his armor, that is stronger material."

You're comparing a rookie Luke who didn't even know what he was doing half of the time to peak Maul? You are correct about the shoulder strike being ineffective, but thats because while a lightsaber can cut through durasteel, it isn't "like" butter, but rather a bit harder to cut down due to its melting point.
