Via a combo of precog/skill. But he couldn't visually process his speed, which is extremely impressive.

It is arguably the most impressive era actually bro. And he would have blitzed both Farfalla and Raskta if they hadn't been under the effects of BM. Kas'im was extremely powerful and skilled, and that was all the way back in PoD. Meanwhile Zannah is one of the rare few who is even more powerful than Bane.

Krayt didn't even blitz those IKs and they don't hold a candle to Farfalla or Raskta or even Sarro who were among the most powerful Jedi of that era.

I believe even Bane couldn't see Kas'im's attacks clearly, and Bane was beating Kas'im at that point. I'd imagine it was more severe the other way around. As Astor said, they relied upon precog/skill.

I'd favor Bane here.

Great fight though.

I'd go with Bane too if he was as skilled, was faster, and punched holes through Abeloth.

It'd be a good fight though.

Krayt can win as well, IMO.

Possible. Yes, Bane is undoubtedly extremely fast.

Not really, no. Krayt's blitzing of knights is more impressive, and at the beginning of DOE he even said he was marginally slower due to the wearing of the Orbalisk armor. This is admitted. Krayt is faster.

Bane can move at a bullet's speed: 857m/s or 1917mph.

Bane says he's marginally slower, but his speed in DOE is more impressive than the other two novels, which leads me to believe his speed peak was a couple of years before DOE.

DOE was actually his highest point of speed shown in the trilogy.

One was the Emperor's cousin (i.e. a descendant of Jaina Solo) and leader of the bodyguard, the other three were hand-picked for the task.

Their plan, before facing Krayt, was to fight their way out of the room-full-of-sith (and if possible, kill Krayt), and Roan Fel, no chump or fool, judged they had a chance of this.


Additionally, we have seen the level at which a IK is considered a full Knight, and one has to be solid before someone's promoted past initial- almost every IK we see fights at Jedi/Sith Master level.

True enough, which still doesn't speak to blitzing here.

While he'd have won more solidly, I seriously doubt that.

He killed several of them without looking as soon as they got in arm's reach.

I'm not sure what else you'd call it.

Agreed. Bane wouldn't blitz Krayt. He may be faster, but not very much imo.

You're reaching here and I think you know it. Roan simply refers to him as "cousin" but you really can't prove that it was a genuine blood relative from that alone, as it might just be a way that the IK speak to each other, much like how two comrades might refer to themselves as "brothers", but not actually be actual brothers.

Plus if he really were a descendant of Anakin I'd imagine they'd show him a little more respect than having him go out like a chump. Plus he may have just been a cousin but not one that was linked to the Skywalker line.

You don't have to blitz someone to have an overwhelming speed advantage over someone. I wouldn't argue that Bane would blitz Krayt, but I would argue that he would be able to overwhelm him with his speed and be all over him.


quote:
Not even Bane felt so!


Even Bane? Bane was their harshest critic. But Bane's main criticism wasn't about their combat prowess but rather their methodology, i.e. thinking that the Sith could destroy the Jedi via sheer warfare, and not through deception and trickery etc.

The fact is they were so good at combat prowess because of their war-centric approach, and that is what Bane was critical of for the most part.

lol, no I mean it's actually stated in the novel.

Blitzing would be one shotting them before they can react, Krayt simply overwhelmed them with speed, as several exchanges were made. Impressive but I wouldn't put those IK on the level of someone like Sirak, who Bane actually blitzed as far back as midway through PoD.

Why would you argue not very much? Krayt really doesn't have any real quantifiable speed feats, whereas Bane has the best one ever, and numerous other great ones. And he's demonstrated dazzling speed over people as powerful as Zannah.
