Talk:Akuma vs Darth Maul/@comment-27190018-20160528032039

I completely agree with this outcome. Another factor would be that Maul would have a reach advantage with his lightsaber. A staff, or metal sword, or anything like that isn't much trouble for someone with as much skill as Akuma, but a lightsaber isn't so easily knocked out of the way. Akuma really can't get within striking distance without severely endangering himself.
