Can Bane replicate Dooku's feat of fighting Anakin and Kenobi's feat in ROTS? Bane has no Orbalisk armor and must be capable of fending both off and beating Kenobi?

How does Bane do?

JKBart
terribly

The Ellimist
He could replicate the feat of getting beheaded, and even faster.

Lmao.

Azronger
Yes, he could hold them off. But then gets butchered by Zonakin.

Nephthys
Yes, minus the losing part.

Bane's family receives his life insurance payout.

MythLord
Yeah. Bane is greater than Dooku, 1v1, perhaps, but he doesn't have some of the Count's greatest assets when facing duos(namely his insane precision, speed, manuverability, ability to abuse leverage, etc.)

Though, if he takes Kenobi out with the Force first... mmm... Zonakin still wrecks.

Nephthys
Bane would pwn Kenobi with the Force very quickly and Anakin couldn't build up the hatred and rage necessary to defeat Bane before Bane overwhelms him.

SunRazer
Bane doesn't abuse the Force mid-duel unless it's Orbalisk Bane. And I doubt he could do it under the pressure of the duo's attacks.

Ursumeles
Anakin without the Zone solos, lol.

Nephthys
When he's fighting Zannah who's just as powerful as him, sure. Or Kas'im who rushed him and who Bane wasn't aware he'd surpassed yet. As you say, when against clearly inferior opponents he has no problem using the Force.

Theres no real reason why Bane couldn't or wouldn't just smack Kenobi aside. The duo couldn't reach him before he can do that and Bane is certainly good enough to use it mid-duel.

SunRazer
Bane engages in saber duels foremost, so there's that. Why would the duo not be able to reach him first? And Obi-Wan's durable enough to withstand Bane's initial telekinetic attacks, even if they did happen. Bane won't have time to ragdoll Obi-Wan far before Anakin strikes him down.

Bane uses the Force just as much as his lightsaber. And this isn't RoT Bane, he's far more tactical than you give him credit for. Kenobi isn't withstanding an attack from Bane when he failed to do so against Dooku. Bane can quickly force push him into a wall or hit him with lightning, it hardly takes long to raise your hand.

If Dooku was able to take Kenobi out while fighting Anakin then Bane can do the same. He can force Anakin to a distance to manage it for sure.

Dooku's better than Bane at fighting two Jedi at once, and just more skilled in general. And has shown more of a penchant for chaining Force attacks mid-duel. From the opening area of the fight, Bane doesn't have many areas to throw Obi-Wan into, and he's never started a fight with TK, either. It's a stretch to assume he'd do so.

MythLord
I wonder where the theory that DoE Bane doesn't abuse the Force comes from... His duel with Zannah? He was facing his nigh-equal/potential superior in that, so it makes sense he'd wanna make it a martial engagement.

He's also far more intelligent than RoT, bloodlust Bane, and would thus abuse it if he deems so neccessary.

Bane's attacks are more devastating and his force mastery is greater than Dooku's. Bane has used the Force mid-duel as well. He has plenty of places to throw him, lol. It's the same place he was thrown and taken out. Bane has started plenty of fights using the force against fodder. Which is what Kenobi is to Bane. If Bane's facing two opponents he's not going to be a moron and fight at a disadvantage. He'd leverage his superior powers and even the odds safely.

Dread Dark
I think he can duplicate it, but Anakins form 5 strenght against Banes would a fight to see.

I would see Bane realizing and knowing OBi wans Form 3 all to well
hell he trained someone in it so he would just use the force and remove OBi from the fight similar to Dooku.

Even if he is amp'd by palpatine's words Bane wouldnt tire out so easily, there physical strength is comparable.

Those two would be fighting for a good long time.

Yeah, iirc there's even a quote in DOE that states Orbalisk Bane was driven towards physical bloodlust and that DOE Bane made more use of his force abilities in combat.

Dread Dark
WAIT which Bane is being used here?

Emperordmb
Generally peak incarnations are assumed, so DOE Bane. Plus OP said no orbalisk armor so almost certainly DOE Bane.

Deronn_solo
Bane fails, lmao.

Beniboybling
Bane is inferior to Dooku in every way, so yeah he dies.

Anakin looks Bane deeply into eyes as he slowly drags his lightsaber blade through his crotch, lowering his head and looking directly into Bane's eyes from only a few inches, smiling faintly as his blade goes through Bane's penis right to his stomach, and a second later his blade cuts the spine when it's already through genitals, stomach and ribs. At the same time Kenobi takes few steps back, wiping blood from his mouth with the sleeve of his tunic, most probably taking a disappointing look at Anakin, silently disapproving Anakin's brutality. As soon as Anakin removes his blade from Bane's body, Kenobi calmly puts Bane's head on the first step of the stairs and closes his eyes. With visible disgust he steps on his head performing the classical curbstomp in order to end Bane's suffering.

Kenobi sighs deeply before reprimanding Anakin for the unnecessary brutality, but either way he definitely remains calm, still heavy breathing from the short, but quite brutal fight. Perhaps what would annoy Kenobi even more would be the limo on his face, suffered from Bane's sudden kick - quite probably the only achievement of Bane in this fight.

Bane dies.

Lmfao
9.5/10

Without DS nexus? He would be stomped by them. He's very poor duelist after all.

Bane dies. About how I imagined it, yeah.

yes, with him in Anakin's place

Anakin's reservations seem to be because of Dooku; he was afraid of letting go given their past history. He'll have none against some random no-name sith.

And regardless, Anakin beats Bane solo, Zonakin or no.
