PoD Darth Bane versus RotS Anakin Skywalker

Lightsaber Battle, neutral setting.

Oh lord. Anakin Skywalker wins this.

Anakin hammers right through him.

Anakin kills him

Anakin.

anakin butt rapes him

Anakin.

P.S: Oh, I'm waiting for Nooberis reaction.

Yeah, silly me, here was I thinking I'd get some good arguments out of you guys. Oh well.

Luckily you don't even have an opinion apparently. Which provides the other members with insta win.

Anakin takes this, his skill is just to much for Bane to handle.

Well. Anakin *might* win, but it will be far from easy. Remember that bane nearly bested Kas'im, and Kas'im is one of the greatest saber wielders ever.

Bane also had the benefit of knowing exactly how Kas'im fights. Once Kas'im threw in a new style, Bane was screwed.

Anakin has more experience and skill, and has more raw power in the force.

Speed: Speedwise, throughout PoD, Bane's constantly described as being uber to the max, whether he's moving in blurs, or performing long and complex manoeuvres in the blink of an eye, or pulling off ten attacks in a heartbeat. The most notable display he gave was against Sirak, when he moved at such a great speed that his movements were too fast for the eyes of trained force users to see or react to, even by powerful trained force users, such as Kas'im, who was noted for having great reflexes. The funny thing is, that display of speed was at the end of an extremely long and tiring duel (so Bane would have likely been highly fatigued), and was at a point in time where Bane was lightyears away from how powerful he becomes by the end of the novel. I don't recall Anakin ever moving at comparable speeds, and if we go by the movies (which is what we canon loving people like to do), his speed doesn't even come close.

Strength: Bane was a physical beast; 6'4" in height, described as 'a mountain of muscle.' He had spent his entire life prior to joining the sith on the mines, working near constantly, was physically the most impressive of all the miners, some who had been working there their entire life. The BoD trained him to use the force to enhance his strength, and given his incredible strength in the force, it's likely he could amp up his strength to an insane degree, like he can do with his speed. Yoda for instance could amp up his strength to such a degree that he could carry a box (with a turret gun inside) the size of a small house on his back, so it would make sense that Bane, who has displayed greater use of the force than Yoda, would be able to amp up his speed to an even greater degree, especially when considering his much greater natural strength. Without his robotic arm, Anakin doesn't even come close, and even with it, I doubt his strength is comparable.

Force strength and mastery: Anakin's only notable force feats are achieved during uncontrolled rages, and none of the stuff he does that compares to what Bane does anyway, such as collapsing an entire temple, or controlling and directing enough power to destroy an entire world. The advantage here clearly goes to Bane, so it can be safely assumed that his force sense and reflexes are quite a bit above Anakin's too.

Technique: Bane knows every move and sequence that there is to the saberstaff perfectly, so he can basically wield the weapon to the same degree as someone who has mastered all 7 forms to the highest degree. Anakin, to my knowledge, only ever mastered one form, so the advantage would go to Bane here as well.

How does Anakin honestly compare? I'm sure even Advent would agree that Bane has this.

Some people say Cin Drallig moved at invisbile speed too, but we all know how easily Anakin dealt with him.

Yeah, and those people would be wrong. But anyways, don't just focus on the speed, Darth Bane excels in pretty much every area associated with saber combat. Not many people are as complete a fighter as he is.

Anakin should be able to win, but Bane may be a little too powerful for him.

Anakin takes this.

I've shitted on this argument so many times...look in the Darth Vader vs Bane topic.

Anakin isn't going to be taking Bane easily if he manages to do it at all.

Easily no, but he will defeat him in saber combat
