Nah, Niman just gives you a basic knowledge of everything, but does not allow you to specialise in anything. I think I read somewhere the popularity of Niman with Jedi was one of the main reasons so many were killed in the petranaki arena

Oh wow, I posted my answer based on personal preference on a thread asking for such an answer. Ooooooh! I've really dug myself into a hole on this one!
How do you turn everything into a way to be condescending Temp?

Technically speaking, I'm probably the most Bane-like as a Sith with forms III, V, VII, though that's not why I picked the forms. It's mere coincidence that the three forms Bane uses are the ones I'd find most favorable, though I'd hold a preference for Form VII of the three of them rather than Form V

Yarp, Carthage would be more like Vader since Vader also used Makashi.

Form VII has always fascinated me the most, especially Vaapad, yet I'd find a brute Force offensive effective as well and want to back both up with the most defensive form.
If the entire purpose of my form selection was to suck Bane's dick as everyone seems to think it is I'd go with Djem So as the primary, not Vaapad.

For the former, I think in The Jedi Path Obi-Wan or someone else mentions that it's difficult to master the art of combining Force attacks with lightsaber fighting - that may have been TPM or AotC Kenobi though.
There's also Cin Drallig suggesting that you need to spend at least ten years on Niman to master it, and that's if you focus solely on Niman:
