Actually, it's stated that his blade might as well have been ten or twenty. Impressive, but clearly hyperbolic, and nowhere near as impressive as you'd have it out to be. Bane himself was capable of great feats of speed as well; when deciding to go full out on Sirak, in something like a fifth of a second, he was able to defeat him with a somewhat complex manoeuvre. He was stated to move so fast that time appeared to have stopped for all the force users around him. As far as hyperbole goes, I know which one I'd find more impressive. Plus, what you're listing about Luke takes place around his highest known point of power. Bane goes on to grow far more powerful, and gains the added benefits of the orbalisk armour.As for Luke's saber style, where did you get the idea that it would be alien to Bane? Luke learnt how to wield the lightsaber from Yoda, who was teaching him the traditional forms of the Jedi Order (that Bane knows), and he later goes on to gain a bunch of Jedi Holocrons from the Chu'unthor, that contained information on things like lightsaber combat. Do you have any evidence that Luke uses an unorthodox style?
Now as for your assertion that Bane shits his pants and gets owned when up against an unfamiliar style, that's hardly the case. He gets owned when up against Kas'im, who was stated as possibly being the greatest swordsman there had ever been up until his time, who possessed great strength in the force, and when and only when wielding his unfamiliar [to Bane] dual sabers (which he had mastered and been in the process of perfecting all 7 forms with) and even then, he hardly shitted himself, he just simply acknowledged that he couldn't match his opponent. Not to mention, that was pre-orbalisk Bane.
