In the AOTC Novelization it seemed Yoda was almost toying with Dooku in saber combat.
Also, he, unarmed, could easily dodge the attacks of three Jedi masters, one being a Master of Vaapad.
Bane was only trained to fight against sets of attacks. I'd love to see how he'd fare against Yodas unpredictable and far from typical use of Ataru.
Thanks for the insight into the attack, Jolly. It would seem that The Planet has been exaggerating some things.

When he's in full Ataru mode, Yoda is easily capable of jumping over Count Dooku, who is a very tall man (six-foot-five). It is ridiculous to assume that he couldn't reach Bane's head, especially when he is swinging a lightsaber at it. Likewise, Yoda's small size will make him a harder target for Bane to hit.

A minute? Where'd you get that figure from? I'd say it was about 20 - 30 seconds, as Bane had been gathering the force around him during Kas'im's speech, 'I will follow you wherever you run. Wherever you go I will find you and kill you. Don't live your life in fear, Bane. Better to end it now.' - about 25 seconds I'd say.
that Kas'im blocked. He didn't block the area around him, though, meaning the blast went past him, and knocked out a few walls of an Ancient Temple
Well that's your interpretation, I'll respect that.
(in this case, it's age and sturdiness must be taken into account), this caused the temple to collapse.
True, but the attack was still very impressive.
It was a very powerful attack, I'll give it that, but let's not make it out to be more than it was. What should be noted is that Bane had to build up his force energy prior, and with the full blast, it took out a few walls of an Ancient Temple. I don't mean to diminish the feat, I just want to be realistic. It was still a very powerful blast, especially given Banes short training time.
Mostly agreed, but it wasn't the full blast that did that, it was a portion of the blast after having been redirected by Kas'im, that's how I see it.

Kas'im was standing inside the temple, in front of the entrance.
But it doesn't say that he redirected the energy? Eh. I'm not inclined to believe it, then. Jollyjim's argument is as equally valid, and it is better in the sense that it doesn't necessarily put a spin on the whole issue.
THe Planet, as usual you're an idiot to think Bane was a better lightsaber duelist than Yoda. Nothing even remotely suggests that. Furthermore, there was nothing poetic about the events you described. Kas'im simply put up a force shield, and the blast didn't affect him. However, he shouldn't have been standing at the entrance of the temple, otherwise he wouldn't have been harmed.

He beat Kas'im, he became pretty much the second best duelist in the BoD in less than three years. With the orbalisk armour, he destroys Yoda.
oh because anybody BUT Kas'im was labeled as a saber prodigy? Give it a rest captain planet, there's nothing to suggest that the specific era we discussed produced many lightsaber prodigies. His orbalisk armor is irrelevant. Yoda is quicker and more powerful than Bane with superior force knowledge. Bane goes down hard.

He defeated Kas'im, most definitely one of the top 5 best duelists ever, after less than three years of training. He's a prodigy, most likely the best there is. And how is his armour ****ing irrelevant, dumbass? It makes him near impossible to defeat in saber combat.
Wow.. What a moron. You do know that he DID lose to him in saber combat right? He defeated him because he collapsed a temple on kas'im, that is ALL. And yes his armor is irrelevant consider Yoda can and WILL find the weakpoints(his head), and strike.

They had two duels, he won the first, got destroyed in the second because he was disadvantaged.

'Cause hist styles flashy? 🙄
Please, Yoda is heavily overrated, his uberness with a saber didn't seem to help him much in AotC against Dooku, or in RotS against Sidious, now did it?

LOL...He toyed with Dooku both times never wanting to kill him. If you read Dark Rendezvous you'd realize he always wanted to turn him back, but your ignorance is evident. And in the original script he did disarm Sidious, but Lucas wanted to make a completely stalemated fight, so it was a stalemate. And you have absolutely no argument considering the fact that Yoda stalemated the most powerful Sith Lord ever.
