I'm not feeling generous enough to lower her down for you atm.
Well he didn't, so...?
Yeah, but he was enhanced by Battle Meditation.
Zannah is more powerful than Anakin. I don't care if you say that, because you've completely failed to provide any evidence showing that Anakin can block it, while I've proved the strength of Bane's lightning. Seriously dude, you might as well be arguing that Anakin can block Sidious' lightning here.
Also theres no reason to think that Bane will specifically target Anakin with his lightning.
Bane isn't going to be gutted.
Well let me paint a picture for you: He raises his hand or hands and blasts Anakin, who tries to block it but the lightning overpowers his defense and fvcks him up. Shaak Ti reaches him and swings at Bane while this is going on and Bane stops and blocks her or fvcking ducks.
Seriously, it's not exactly difficult to figure out bro.
It's not as if Lightning is this super intensive technique that requires all his concentration. He lifts his hands and does it at will.
Difference is that Anakin doesn't have Battle Meditation in this fight and none of the rest of his team do either. Zannah is also much more powerful here than she was in RoT. She can blast Raskta and Depa around with TK and her sorcery is much more potent.

No, keep going, the more you try, the lower they look to everyone watching.
...he realized that wouldn't work?
BM doesn't magically raise you several tiers in the hierarchy. It provides a palpable, but not overwhelming advantage. In some canon sources it doesn't even provide a tangible physical advantage but just boosts your morale and coordination. Let's not pretend it would propel Farfalla onto the level of Anakin.
Hardly the point. Nobody's suggesting Anakin can match Bane's actualized Force power.
Yeah, you demonstrated that Bane can disintegrate some animal cyborgs. You also demonstrated that Bane fails to use his lightning against much weaker foes than Anakin. All the while, you cleverly sidestep the issue of there being other Jedi to chop Bane's head off whenever the point is brought up.
If he targets someone else, he has Anakin to worry about.
If he just stands there trying to overpower Anakin, he will be.
And you assume this overpowers his defenses...because?
So you just assume that Bane can overpower Anakin's defenses faster than Shaak Ti can reach him and swing her lightsaber because...?
Let me paint another picture for you. Bane tries to zap Anakin with his FL, but Anakin catches it with his palm, laughs, and then redirects it as a Force bomb, exploding and killing Bane and Zannah at the same time. I win, because I can also make unsupported assertions.
Um, if he's trying to overpower Anakin, it certainly takes a lot of concentration. It's not as though Sidious was having a fun time taking on Yoda with it.
Anakin is still more powerful than any member of the strike team Bane and Zannah had faced, and that confrontation should have really gone either way.
Also don't forget that this is Zonakin, he solos, srs.
She will be outnumbered 3 to 1. Nothing suggests she could take them out in such a confrontation; she may be able to survive for a respectable timeframe by virtue of her soresu.
Anakin doesn't have two sabers and can't replicate Raskta's feat, unless you think he can catch a dozen forks of lightning individually with one blade, lol.
(He can't because he's not as fast as her)
He wasn't exactly tactically assessing the fight at that point. He tried to literally run over them. He obviously could kill anyone except Raskta with lightning though.
I never said that it did or that he was equal to Anakin, I just pointed out that Farfalla wasn't trash tier when enhanced by BM.
So don't act as if Bane failed to overpower Zannah means he'll fail against Anakin.
I think you've got your wires crossed. He disintegrated the technobeats (some of which were as large as Rancor's btw, they weren't freaking dog sized or anything) with his TK, not his lightning. He disintegrated other guys with lightning. Keep trying to lowball Bane's lightning though, it's awful amusing.
No, I'm pretty sure I've stated repeatedly that Anakin's companion won't manage to cut Bane's head off while he's blasting Anakin. I know that it's super difficult to use Force lightning and step to the side at the same time, but I'm comfortable that Bane can manage it. Though with the Orbalisks, he can block a lightsaber by shrugging.
Oh no, the horror.
Nevermind that Bane can take a few few hits at the start before they work out the orbalisks.
That's literally impossible.
Because Anakin hasn't demonstrated anywhere near the ability to block lightning of Bane's caliber and any suggestion that he can is baseless speculation?
The Naboo throne room is pretty big? Also it's not as if it'll take very long, lightning is pretty fast.
Ok, are we done here? I mean, you've literally got no way to rebut my points now and are just trying to nitpick it apart. I'm getting kind of tired of this slapfight.
No, it doesn't.
I don't give a shit.
It isn't and he doesn't.
Lmao. You really think Anakin will be able to solo Orbalisk Bane, don't you? Oh my ****ing god....
She'd survive a lot longer against those two than Anakin would against Bane solo.
I'm probably not going to bother to respond again. I think I've proven my point by now. If you're seriously suggesting Anakin solo's then I really don't think its worth my time to continue this.
You still haven't explained why I should believe Bane's lightning can take out Anakin, especially now that you've clarified that the technobeast feat wasn't actually done by his lightning, leaving us just with disintegrating a few flesh and blood humans, a feat inferior to many of Anakin's stock TK demonstrations. You conveniently make excuses for Bane whenever he fails to actually use his allegedly uber-lightning to kill anyone of import. Indeed, you place the burden of proof on me to demonstrate that Anakin can defend against it, and never bother to actually show when Bane has ever overpowered anyone of import with it.
Oh, and "sidestepping" a trained Jedi master swinging at you with a blade isn't the same thing as shuffling your feet to the side. You're now postulating ridiculous abilities of Bane that he's never demonstrated; overwhelm a Jedi far more powerful than any Bane has ever faced FL with, and then sidestep someone else coming in from his blindside just 'cause.
That you actually think Bane disintegrating 2 dudes and turning a Drexyl to charcoal is inferior to Anakin's TK demonstrates exactly why I'm not continuing this. You know that you need several gigajoules of lightning to disintegrate a single person, right?
Yeah, as though Anakin's TK hasn't collapsed buildings, or even at the minimum ripped bolted durasteel machinery, or anything. And once again you pass over the fact that Anakin doesn't need to match Bane's strength in the Force.
Speaking as an engineering major, I'd be interested in seeing the calculations you have for this, given that "disintegration" isn't even a definite physical process.
Without having to quote Neph's arguments which I've already debunked, the Sith get stomped.
Zannah is a non issue and gets destroyed by Shaak Ti and Depa, and Bane isn't good enough to oneshot Anakin with anything. I really doubt the Sith even take one round, if Bane had trouble with Raskta he is going to get stomped by Anakin and Shaak Ti (both outskill him and are comparably powerful). The Sith lose

I think the strike team will win, but will sustain casualties.
It is entertaining to see how high Bane and Zannah are currently being held in regard, though.

I doubt that. Raskta would lose to Bane, but it would take Zannah a long time for her to implement her illusions on to her seeing as she has to gather her power and even without an amp Raskta and Depa are more skilled. Ti would crush Zannah in a saber duel, and Anakin could ragdoll her while the Jedi hold Bane off or kill him via superior numbers.
The Sith are outnumbered, outskilled (massively), and Bane's nexus feats are doing nothing for him here
