You guys really think so? Bandon killed a lot of Jedi but so did Grievous, Jango, HK-47, Atton, and many others. Bandon had less than a year of Sith training (more than Anakin but Anakin has WAY more potential) Yes Bandon lost to Revan but Revan was at maybe a third of his full power later. Anakin (arguably I suppose) defeated Count Dooku who held his own against Yoda. I've had Juhani kill Bandon in a one on one fight before.
I don't think Bandon has any sort of chance, especially considering he's as arrogant as Anakin.
Oh I'm not arguing that he's bad, and yeah he was chosen out of hundreds or thousands but Anakin was the only in a thousand years (I'm pretty sure) to be allowed to be a Jedi at the age of nine. I really think those Council members like Vrook and them would beat the pants off of Bandon though.
P.S. Bandon can be pretty tough on Hard difficulty though, you're right. For some reason he's IMO way harder if he's on Korriban and can actually kill you whereas the other planets, he goes down in a couple seconds. Is it like that for you too?
Bandon can cause a few problems on hard difficulty, but I don't notice him being particularly harder on Korriban. If he wasn't, it's a miniscule amount, since I don't notice that I kill him any faster than anywhere else.
As to the fight, Bandon takes it from Anakin. Anakin never amounted to ever a fraction of his potential, and that's the lone point he has Bandon beat in.

I'd go with Revan on this one. Bandon is good, but Vader was pretty good before his bath. I mean, I think Dooku gave him the fight, but it's clear that Anakin was close to his skill. I don't think Bandon is.
Vader was nowhere near that good. ANd it is not "clear" that Anakin was close to his skill. It's rather obvious that Dooku is far superior in lightsaber skill than Anakin ever was in the movies. If you don't believe me watch the Yoda/Dooku battle again. Note Dooku's method of handling someone WAY better than Anakin could ever hope to be by ROTS.
Meanwhile, Bandon hasn't lost a fight. He's from an era where being the apprentice to the highest Sith lord means you sleep with a vibroblade under your pillow and a disrupter blaster gripped in one hand while sleeping with one eye open and hiring Gand body guards. Anakin is good, don't get me wrong. I've realized that more now than I did when I first came here. But he's not THAT good.
No, that's ridiculous. Dooku was not challenged. He was taunting Anakin the whole time, and he took Obi-Wan out... Obi-Wan who was able to defeat Anakin despite the terrain, in a fight that lasted something like ten to twenty minutes movie time. That's unfounded and ridiculous.
Also, what reasoning do you have that Bandon is so weak that Anakin can take him? Last time I checked Bandon wasn't blind, stupid, and armless.

Seriously Janus, saying his opinion is ridiculous is a little harsh. Human Vader's not a newb or anything and hasn't posted any fanboyism. Dooku was straining a bit in the fight and he did not want to lose his hands. Yoda owned Dooku bad, but I also think that Anakin was competing with Dooku.
A lot of people have killed many Jedi including quite a few non-Force users and a lot of the Dark Jedi from KOTOR didn't strike me as very strong. Anakin has way more potential and according to Nick Gillard's dueling level, is as good of a duelist as Sidious and Yoda. Now I know he most likely couldn't beat either but he's still really powerful and Bandon hasn't done much of anything that was impressive (granted though, we know a lot less about him)
I dislike both these characters - however, Bandon certainly seemed to have taken his power much less for granted that Anakin did, which is a respectable quality. However, I always thought that Bandon was weak, even in comparison to, for example, Darth Maul (whom I like a great deal because he is bad@$$, but I think Anakin could perhaps defeat). This is also, maybe, a misconception on my part, though, so I could be entirely mistaken here to the point of embarrassing myself. If I am wrong, someone please bring me up to speed on the facts. My apologies, again, if this point of view is ignorant.
