What Kopecz thinks is of no value. bane is not confirmed the Sith'Aro
That's not the point Lightsnake, and you know it. Kopekz was fully aware of the prophecy of the Sith'ari, the Sith'ari was said to be 'the ultimate sith', 'a perfect being', and said to have 'perfect strength, perfect power, perfect destiny'. The fact that Kopekz believed that Bane might have been the very Sith'ari with only the one conversation to base the deduction off of speaks for truly how strong Bane's presence was in the force; Kopekz hadn't seen any displays of the force from Bane, Bane hadn't been trained yet, the only thing he would have had to go on was how strong the force was in Bane.
Exar's power was beyond the others at just 6 months of training. And the Jedi and Sith were pretty uber? It's made clear the BoD is a low point in Sith history
We've already been through this Lightsnake, the BoD was damn impressive, which would make sense considering it was pretty much the most martial order of sith ever. However, to name a few:
1. Kas'im was basically the most technically gifted swordsman ever; he mastered every form, furthered and perfected them, and constantly kept his skills up and refined them.
2. Kaox Krul was a beast in combat if Darkness Shared is anything to go by; he was a sith legend, killed hundreds of jedi in his lifetime, and he inspired fear throughout the jedi ranks.
3. Seviss Vaa was so adept at sith alchemy that she was able to create a giant behemoth that could shoot giant energy beams out of its forehead.
And that's not even mentioning Kaan, Quordis and Kopekz (who were the top 3 sith for a reason), or the fact that a young Durge (that's right, the same guy who was on Anakin and Obi-Wan's aka the PT elites' level by Obsession) was nothing more than a minion for them; a nobody in comparison.
Yeah, Kaan was a coward on every count. The entire point was he was a cruel, craven hypocrite
Maybe so, but he never displayed fear on the level he did when mention of Bane came up, or when face to face with him.
So? Zannah killed two Jedi when she was much younger. A young Anakin, far younger, killed a Blood Carver pirate with the Force...
And Zannah was damn prodigious too...
And wow, so your using uber Chosen One level feats to try and downplay Bane's? Right, so because the fricking Chosen one basically did the same thing, it can't possibly be good.. 🙄
and none of it puts him above Kun
In terms of strength in the darkside, yes it does. And really, weren't you arguing that Bane > Kun a while back?
BOTS takes place immediately after PoD, actually. He'd just left Ruusan. Moreover, Palpatine's lightning could wipe out a 100 troops...Kun was also a Force Lightning master according to the DSB
The feat I'm referring to happens long before BotS... And it's only after having learnt the technique an hour beforeso. And it also takes place before his two most noteworthy power surges; when he gains Revan's holocron, and when he gains Nadd's. Face it, by BotS, he'd be able to replicate the feat with ten times the power and mastery in the very least, probably more like 20 times the power and mastery.
And you do realise that Sourcebook stats are N Canon, right? And Dooku was also a Master of Lightning, that doesn't mean that it was anywhere near Bane's level, because we can quite clearly see that it's not. Point is, simply being a master of lightning doesn't necessarily put his lightning on Bane, Revan or Palpatine's level.
Luke built up a giant castle with the Force and later smashed itn to pieces in the Black Fleet Trilogy, so?
1. Bane grew much more powerful after this point.
2. I'm not seeing how Luke's feat is any more impressive. Remember, the Rakatan Temple was 20 stories high, I doubt the castle Luke built was that big, but you see, I haven't read the Black Feat Trilogy, so how about supplying some passages.
And Exar killed Odan-Ur easily, so?
Odan was 'old and weak' by his own admission. Quordis was young and powerful, and Bane owned him as easily as Exar did Odan.
There's a word for this and it's lying: Bane had them join together. If he was controlling them, how'd they break away?
Reading comprehension, much? I never said he was controlling them. He had them join together to combine their power, but he himself was the vessel, he was the one who harnessed the power and directed it.
Yeaaaah...no. Dxun and Onderon have naturally close orbits and referencing a retconned story does you no favors
Calling something retconned when it's not does you no favours. I could just be annoying too, and call DE retconned, since it contradicts the prophecy of the chosen one. Now please, stop repeating this just to be annoying, you know very well that by BotS, the atmospheres had been moving away from eachother for thousands of years, and were now too far apart for Bane to cross without nudging the atmospheres closer together.
And Kun's style'd be alien to Bane.
Kun was no Kas'im. The fact that he spent so little time creating the weapon and form itself points to the fact that it was probably pretty flawed overall, and the fact that he'd only about 6 months experience with it, where he mostly spent time studying sith magic, I'd say he most likely wasn't anything too special with it.
So would Luke's and Palpatine's.
Source, passage, quote, page number...
Doesn't Luke use the standard forms that he found contained in the archives on the Chu'unthor? And Palpatine uses Ataru does he not?
And wanking Sirak is likewise worthless....he was an apprentice. That's it. He was a strong apprentice, but an apprentice who never proved himself.
No he wasn't, have you not been reading my posts? He was easily on the level of a PT Jedi Master, don't be ridiculous.
1. He mastered multiple forms and switched up between them in combat.
2. He was so fast that he could move in blurs while fighting, which is beyond anything anyone can do in the movies. In other words, he was a quicker fighter than your precious PT Jedi.
3. Before Bane came along, he was so damn powerful that people thought that he may be the sith'ari. He was easily the top student, and for good reason.
4. Quordis believed that it wouldn't be too long at all until he surpassed all the masters, which includes Kaan, Kas'im, Kopekz, Quordis etc..
Face it, he's incredible.
The BoD was also weak at that point..."The Dark side is spread too thin!"
When was Qordis adept in saber combat, now?
It was weak in the sense that there was nobody in the order who excelled above the others, everyone was equal, and so, relatively speaking, nobody was exceptional. That's what Bane was getting at.
And Quordis was one of the top 3 Masters in the BoD, so it can be assumed he was pretty powerful, given how powerful people who were lesser than him were.
The orbalisks were never tested and there are gaps...his head's also a huge target. And Kun is good enough to exploit such
LOL, everything has to have been tested for them to pass your standards. Now please, they don't have to have been tested, they were directly stated to be completely resistant to the cutting power of anything; even a lightsaber, you know this.
The gaps are too small for a lightsaber to pass through.
Bane's head is a pretty small target in comparison to the entire 'mountain of muscle' that is his entire body, and it's slightly protected by a mask anyway. Now really, trying to downplay the protection that the orbalisks offer is ridiculous; it means that Bane need only worry about being physically harmed by the front of his face, so he can leave himself much more open, and focus much more on offense than defence. It also means that Kun actually has to aim to get his face, and limits the actions he would take.
And proof that Kun's above Bane without orbalisks? Didn't think so... And really, if you attempt to do so, good luck buddy! 👆
Just so you know, that would be proving that Kun was above someone who displayed speed so fast that he was able to move faster than the eyes of trained force users could see, so fast that it seemed like time had stopped for everyone else in the room. Yeah, that's the same guy that knew every move and sequence to the saber staff perfectly, and thus would wield it to the same effects as Kas'im.
As opposed to Kun mastering Sadow's power? Palpatine mastering all the knowledge of the Ancient Sith?
Knowledge is the one thing that they have over Bane, but really, considering how much Bane has, any more really wouldn't make any difference; he has more than he would ever need.
Since when? Qordis cut him off
Do you like, not know how to read?
VIA GITHANY!
Menaing Palpatine would have all that and THEN SOME from Bane's holocron?
Knowledge is the one thing that they have over Bane, but really, considering how much Bane has, any more really wouldn't make any difference; he has more than he would ever need.
When, exactly?
And how does this make him special? Palpatine did the same thing...well before DE. Hell, Exar was accessing Vodo's holocron as an apprentice
In the comic All for you.
Again, I'm not arguing that Bane has more knowledge, but given how much he has, more knowledge wouldn't make a difference.
