No, he wasn't,
You seem to be confused here, the correct wording would be 'No, he didn't'.
your opinion is irrelevant if it's contradictory to facts.
This is the end of part 1 of the duel:
'The Blademaster became desperate. Leaping, spinning, ducking, rolling: he was wild and reckless in his retreat, seeking now only to escape with his life. But he didn't know the temple like Bane did. bane kept the routes to the outside cut off, slowly herding his opponent into a dead-end hallway.
Recognising what was happening, Kas'im blew open the heavy door of a side room with the force and dived inside. Bane knew there was no other exit, and he paused at the threshold of the room to savor his victory.
The Twi'lek stood in the center of the empty chamber, panting heavily, stooped ever so slightly, his head bowed. He looked up when Bane stepped through the doorway. But when his gaze met Bane's, there was no hint of defeat in his eyes.
"You should have finished me when you had the chance," he said.'
You were saying?
It was stated that Kun was a lightsaber prodigy.
Where? This is a lie, spawned from IKC no doubt. Prove me wrong, if you can.
He had no equal during his life.
There was no Kas'im during his time. And prove that he was the best? Ulic was arguably better.
Bane was NOT a lightsaber prodigy
O RLY?
nor was the best with it, it was his force abilities he was known for.
He was exceptional with both. It's also hinted that he was #2 of the BoD.
You are too easy. A padawan is someone who is not yet a Jedi Knight or whatever. So when I say padawan I mean Padawan.
You're an idiot. Your choice of the word padawan was to emphasize how young and/or how little training he had when he 'beat' Vodo (I seem to recall him getting pwned first time round, and getting lucky the second time), I was just saying that Bane clearly had even less training than Kun did when he did as good as he did against Kas'im (and possibly younger, though there's no proof for this), so these feats point to Bane being more prodigious than Kun was.
Bane never nearly defeated Kas'im.
Yes, he did.
and your logic fails when you realize that Bane knew all of Kas'im's moves, and still couldn't defeat him
1. His ability to understand the saber, and memorise the moves and sequences so quickly only speaks for his dueling ability, stop acting like it's some unfair advantage.
2. You're twisting the events. It was only in the first part of the duel, when Kas'im used his saberstaff that Bane had this luxury, and he did virtually defeat him, he definitely showed signs of superiority in that scenario at least.
3. Bane only actually lost when faced with a weapon he had hardly ever been up against, this was an unfair advantage, a huge one if we go by Kas'im's lectures earlier in the book.
Your stupidity has gone over your head completely, so I won't bother remedying it. One more thing..
Wow, you're very adept at copying Janus.
