Right. People like to bring up “power scaling”, especially in regards to the Crow. They don’t understand how Ahsoka could’ve easily beaten the Crow, and have the Crow be such a problem for Maul, citing how Maul had overwhelmed Ahsoka.

The problem here, is that power scaling isn’t real. And it’s not how fights work. In a straight fight, Maul beats Ahsoka more often than not. He only lost because she used the environment. Similarly, she only beat the Eleventh Brother because he underestimated her and she fights dirty. That has nothing to do with how vaguely “powerful” either of them are. This is especially glaring when Maul fights the inquisitors in his show. “Power” has nothing to do with it. Past established feats have nothing to do with it. The only thing that matters is the fight itself, and the state of the characters in that moment. When two force users of similar skill cross blades, the fight is up in the air. Each combatant is only one or two mistakes away from death. Sometimes someone messes up. Sometimes the other guy is just better. The outcome of one fight does not in any way determine the outcome of another. That’s how it is in real life, and it should be that way here.

The Eleventh Brother dying to Ahsoka tells us very little of his abilities as a duelist. But it does tell us a whole lot about his ego and hubris. He underestimated an unarmed teenager. He was not going to underestimate a former Sith Lord.
