Well if you take my post out of context, then yeah it fits your argument, I went on to include that HOWEVER in Anakins case, since when his rage and fear and doubts are in his head, it serves to weaken him more then it helps, making him a reckless berserker who can't think straight. Now Anakin in his "crystal clear" state which you put him in in this duel is not in that berserker state. Basically if Anakin can't focus it makes him weaker.
We've likely seen Anakin manifest this state twice, the first during his duel with Assaji Ventress on Yavin 4 when he goes from being relatively equal with her to completely overpowering and destroying her in a few seconds, the same with his duel with Dooku. Anakin in this state as a pure saber combatant could contend with almost anyone in the SW universe.
Secondly, there is proof that he had to push the moon in a relatively short period of time. First of all, his control over gravity and orbits was compared to “how a child might play with colored balls.” If Anderson was comfortable with making this kind of analogy, it really doesn’t make sense that it would take him THAT MUCH effort. Other than that, there are some real common sense things. He was on the back of a flying beast, so if he did not do it within a day at least, the creature would get hungry and probably not be able fly anymore. This would cause them both to plummet to their eventual death.
A. Your taking KJA's feat mentality and overall writing ability seriously? This is the same guy who pretty much single handedly ruined the EU with his "Uber" feats that made the movie characters look like jokes in TOTJ and FOTS and random stupid super weapons. Oh and did I mention his horrible writing?
B. That was coming from inside Banes head, so it really doesn't mean shit, let me remind you Padawan Anakin thought he was a match for Yoda.
C. Its easy to have the bird you know sit down and rest, and he has the ability to use the force to summon beasts so really its not that hard to find a new one.
I don’t know, because of some physical property of the parasites? If you want to state that the things were different, you are going to need some form of proof. Exceptions exist to every rule. Just because lightsabers can cut through Mandalorian Iron and cortosis eventually, doesn’t mean they cut through orbalisks. Bane slapped at multiple Orbalisks but noticed that the only thing which happened was that they ricocheted aside.
So, because we have one source saying everything "EVENTUALLY" breaks to a lightsaber. and we have Bane swiping at the Orbalisks once, its all of a sudden an exception to the rule?
I am not saying that his regeneration is infallible; I’m saying that only a serious trauma to his face (literally the lightsaber going in around halfways through ) would be able to kill him or cause him to be out cold.
Not really if he has anything that even touches his brain his pretty much done for, and really please explain to me how burnt, cauterized cells can be restored?
No…just knocking out the assertions that Bane has no clue on how to defend against a single bladed lightsaber.
Its not that he'd have no clue, its just he wouldn't be "as familiar" as he would against a foe using a staff saber.
I would rank Kas’im in pure saber as being able to contend with Yoda and Mace giving them a hell of a battle due to his unpredictability and him mastering all forms of saber combat. I wouldn’t know who wins. I would say that he could take down Dooku due to his mastery of all forms of saber combat, and his ability to deflect massive scale force attacks.
They'd both beat him (Mace and Yoda) and Dooku likely too, but that is anther topic and I wont debate it here. 😉
Bane’s mastery of the force was too much; he turned all of Kas’im’s knowledge into a joke much like Anakin did to Dooku. In conjunction with his force attacks, he has just the kind of leverage required to take down the duo.
Again your saying as if he can just spam force attacks, why didn't he just start spamming force waves on Kas'im? Because they were in a duel and taking the time out to gather energy to let a force wave go would get his head hacked off.
Ultimately, Bane’s refinement in the force will triumph over Anakin.
Again...how would that happen? There would have to be space between the foes first off for Bane to even consider a force attack and then there's Kenboi to pop up when he attempts one, then you have to prove that his attacks will even kill/hurt Anakin, considering Anakin took a force charged boot to the face from Dooku that flung him 10 feet and got right back up and that he's literally run through force pushes before and didn't even bother to put up a shield (Ventress duel of Yavin) has been electrocuted severely through his robotic hand for 15 seconds and shrugged it off I'd say his defenses are more then a match for what Bane can dish out.
While Drallig is certainly a decent Jedi among the lower levels (Vos, Bulq, Shaak Ti) Anakin beating him in a saber duel isn’t really meaning much. Choking his apprentice is worth a grain of sand.
What your not getting is its HOW he beat him he beat him with one hand while holding anther being in the other. And really, Drallig was supposedly a master of Ataru, the battlemaster for the order, taught Lightsaber instruction to pretty much the whole order, I'd wager he was pretty damn good with a blade.
Cannot compete? I love how you are underrating Bane. Despite the fact that he sent the master of all forms of lightsaber dueling scurrying away, he somehow “cannot compete.” He was using the force to augment his Djem So to the degree that he was a master of it able to push Kas’im ( who was powerful enough in the force to defend against a seismic blast that shattered “tons of rock and mortar.”) away.
And Anakin couldn't do that same feat...
Prove Bane is just mediocre or has a mediocre understanding of the form. As per Kas’im’s definition, Bane would certainly be a master of his form and have a deep understanding of many other forms of lightsaber dueling (for being able to anticipate and ‘seize the advantage’ between the times when Kas’im switched forms.) By BOTS he is even more experienced, enough so to isolate Skywalker and eventually win.
Did I say he was mediocre? No. Sure by Kas'im definition he's a master good for him, but does he know the most advanced movements of the form like Anakin does? Likely not. Does he know the most advanced forms of pretty much "every form of combat" I doubt it.
This was referring to Darth Vader not ROTS Skywalker. In either case, Kas’im was exactly like that, but Bane nearly killed him in dueling.
A. So in the weeks time while Anakin was self loathing, crying over his suit, and basically being an all around *****. He took the time to learn almost every single form of combat...No. He knew these things before his tenure as Dark Lord
B. Yeah he's just like Kas'im only you know...stronger.
No, what you are doing is saying he is loser based on too little exposure. All we see of Qordis was in the shadow of Bane, so we can never analyze how good he was. That would be like saying Dooku is a joke because we see Sidious conquer the galaxy, and Dooku was disemboweled.
Wow, that was a very bad analogy, unlike Qordis we see Dooku, battling multiple Jedi Masters, being called one of the most powerful beings to ever exist, tooling Grevious ect...ect...and really you were doing the same thing for Cin just a second ago.
He was a militaristic Sith Lord, who obviously had to see some combat time as they were waging an open war with the entirety of the bloody Jedi Order.
No, the Jedi had just joined in after the first battle of Rusaan, and Qordis was a teacher on the Academy, we have NO evidence of him engaging in any actual combat with Jedi, simply saying "well he was in a militaristic time" is BS, especially when we have Sith from the KOTOR era on the Academy who didn't engage in combat with the Jedi (Uthar and Yuthura)
Am I saying that he was stronger than Dooku? Of course not. Did I say that he deserved his rank? Likely.
Considering how hard pressed that order was for actual talent and the fact that he was shitting his pants over a Student Bane, I'd say not.
No Styles, I am saying that Bane didn’t even have to lift a finger to defeat one of the most feared Sith Lords of the Russan wartime. He overcame his shield as if it were never there.
Big whoop, considering as said the dude f*cking sucked.
I am not sure about the first part, but I would certainly like to play it. 🙂
Yup, comes out in November for the 360 and PS3 with a brand new engine built by LA for this game and it is intended to be the next EU "event" with a novel, comic series, and source book coming out for it. It was developed directly under the supervision of Lucas and is gonna be legitimately part of the continuity.
You play as Vaders secret apprentice (he's training you to help over throw the Palpy) and you hunt down the remaining Jedi (You get to fight Shaak Ti) But yeah Vader will probably be uber in that considering all the shit his student can do.
