Darth Bane vs. Exar Kun

Two of the greatest of the ancient Sith face off on the Bespin landing platforms (basically Kamino w/o the rain). Who wins?
Round 1- Force
Round 2- Lightsaber
Round 3- Overall

Both at their peaks. Bane does not have orbalisks.

Tsk, tsk, you should have given Bane his Orbalisks to make it more even.
1. Exar wins. Amulent blasts.
2. Exar wins. Bane is pretty good with a saber but wasn't quite as good as Kas'im was. Kun was a saber prodigy, the best of his time, he invented the double-bladed saber and all. It wouldn't be easy but he'd definately take Bane.
3. Kun wins. Amulent blasts.

Bane with orbalisks would win in category 2 at least...

Exar Kun is above Bane in raw force abilities, and above and beyond Bane in saber combat. I'd say he wins all the rounds. Even with the orbalisks, I doubt Bane could handle Kun

With Orbalisks I'd say Bane would probably win in saber combat.

Aw, for God's sake....where the hell did the Exar fanboyism come from?
1. Exar doesn't USE THE GODDAMN AMULETS most of the time, and Bane's displayed abilities comparable without them.
2. He was good enough when Kas'im wasn'tm using JAr'Kai....btw, Kas'im was a better saber duelist than Exar.
3. here we go again..

Good god! I assume that if Exar is losing he will use the amulents! No need to blow up, damn!

In a close quarters confrontation, he'll have time? What makes you think the ability to erect shields of the force won't deflect the damned thing, especially when Bane had access to more knowledge than Exar did? What's to stop Bane from flinging a massive blast at Exar which can crush him on spot?

Since when did Bane have more access? Bane learned from Revan's holocrons, Kun learned from Nadd's spirit and Sadow's work. I'd say Kun had a lot more knowledge.

Bane got a lot after that...not to mention Korriban.
Kun learned zilch from Nadd's spirit....holocrons are the top source of knowledge. Always have been

Who are you to say he learned nothing from Nadd? He had Nadd and Sadow. Of course I'd give the quality of teachings to Bane, but Kun had more force knowledge and abilities.

Since when did he have more knowledge? Bane had two holocrons at the very least. Kun had Sadow's work which he studied for a grand total of six months....less, actually.

And he learned NOTHING from Nadd...Nadd led him to Korriban, had him embrace the Dark Side, led him to Yavin, where Kun destroyed him before starting his study

Two holocrons? Since when? How much did Bane study total? Oh that's right, we don't know.

In Bane of the Sith? He fines a second holocron....just look at the promo picture, he's holding it there

How canon is BOTS, and doesn't Wikipedia state that he found I guess Revan's holocron on DXUN in BOTS, so wouldn't that be a contradiction.

Ok, BOTS is well enough canon.

And what've I told you about Wiki? In PoD, he found Revan's on Lehon....BOTS was written well, well before PoD....

a retcon has been established so that might mean that BOTS got refuted because it contradicts the Pod, By the way, you are a exar hater arent you?

Since when was BOTS retconned whatsoever? NEC fixex any issues before PoD even came out

Well they did say bane learnt to rule of 2 on Dxun at nadds tomb, until Fandboy drew Wrote the book about POD that gave all of banes credit to revan stating that bane learnt the rule of 2 from revan,

Its a major contradiction because already 1 master and 1 apprentice existed long before revans time, nadd and sadow? nadd and kun? The NEC proved that, so i hope POD gets refuted and the credit goes to bane, not revan

Dont get me wrong lightsnake but im not happy about this retconned thing too

I'm an Exar hater, he's on of the worst AND overhyped people ever in Star Wars. I get so sick of hearing "teh amulet blasts!!111" that when I do I usually leave the thread, meaning I usually don't even come into "Exar Kun vs someone" threads because Exars l33t amulet blasts are the worst cop out ever and someone always mentions it, so I just dont bother. Kun is just a bad character all together IMO, hell I even like Revan more then Kun, and I don't much like Revan.

Bane wins all three.

1. Exar's amulet blasts can be blocked with a force shield, and Bane could probably dodge them given that he was noted to be able to move faster than the eye can see. Bane is far stronger in the force, and has better knowledge at his disposal.

2. Kun did what with a saber? Wow, he beat his wooden staff wielding Master who was holding back. Doesn't quite compare to defeating Kas'im now, does it?

3. Bane for reasons stated above.
