Physically, he's stated as being the strongest sith ever, according to Zephiel (who doesn't lie). That's Vader's main asset, and he's still beat in that department.
Um zephiel does lie, he claims nihilus weakens his opponents before draining them. And nowhere does it state that bane is physically the strongest sith. By the way vader has demonstrated greater physical strength than bane, RODV Movies EU etc.. Can i say wtf owned?

Speedwise, Bane can move at speeds faster than the eyes of powerful force users such as Kas'im can see. Even in EU sources that contradict the movies, Vader's never depicted at speeds anywhere near that.
Speedwise bane only demonstrated this abiltity with an inferior duelist, and it was only one strike unlike palpatines and lukes battle.
And please dont go by the "Movie higher canon" excuse. Movies state that hutts and toydarian are immune to mind tricks, yet bastila did it in kotor. In rodv it was stated that vader countered and sliced at at jedi with lightning speed. The bottom line is, what vader did what vader did, bastila did what bastila did. What has happened has happened and for vaders case, It happened for more than one occassion and it was stated by luke that vader was never trying to kill him in the movies

Bane knows every single move and sequence to the saberstaff perfectly (all 7 of Kas'im's perfected forms), which is completely alien to Vader.
And maul knew every sequence to his DB saber and mastered the juyo form and guess what happened to him, Vader snapped his saber in half with little effort.
Again bane could not face kasim when he switched to jarkai because it is
unpredictable. Now the PT jedi themselves knew every sequence of the saber art yet they couldnt face vaders version of djem so simply because 1) They have never seen it before 2) It is stated to be
unpredictable in the novel.
Again a double bladed saber isnt "alien" to vader. He fought several opponents which includes maul who wields double bladed weapon. By your logic lumiya should pwn mace and yoda because they have never seen a light whip before. Again you defy logic

The orbalisk armour is completely immune to the cutting power of a lightsaber, making Bane virtually invincible in a lightsaber battle, with only just one vulnerable spot (his face).
Right, lightsnake already owned you in that part. Darth subjeckt and just about everybody for that matter smashed you to pieces. The orbalisks will break if hit with greater force. Now let me state the law of physics. Greater the acceleration and strength
= to greater the pressure and impact and in TOTJ, it ripped through mandalorian iron whom is also "immune" to lightsaber strikes.
Cortosis is also immune to saber strikes and yet in the game star wars: obi-wan. Obi wan hacks at a soldier wearing full cortosis, No effect, This time he swings harder, it breaks through
