Doesn't Bane have lightsaber proof armour covering his entire body? If so, I don't really see how he can be beaten in a pure saber battle, though I'm sure there are a few details I might have missed.
Force wise it depends if nihilus bond breaking ability or attack is instant as we have yet to see.
Even after the exile said she would allow him to feed on her, he waited moments before unleashing his ability. I am not the one who came up with this concept but lightsnake , zephiel7 and borbarad did so long ago.
It may be possible that he hesitated for a few moments and need not fear the exile attacking him at that moment but again theres nothing to indicate such a powerful technique could work instantly. We saw the 3 masters trying to cut off the exiles control of her powers completely or blind her to the force yet that did not not happen instantly, it took mere moments and even then kreia still had time to interfere.
So for a force fight i really don't know but im leaning towards nihilus if he can quickly execute his ability.
As for sabers, bane wtf pwns him given that we know nothing about nihilus saber abilities

Originally posted by Violent2DopeAnd there is no proof it is instant either, so your point holds completely no water at all. Besides IF it was an instant attack, why did he hesitate even when she gave him the sign to feed on her?
Thing is, there is nothing to prove it isn't instant, when he stunned her, he did not consider her a threat at all, and then with a raise of his hand did the attack.
Most if not all villains would kill their opponents if their opponents allows them to do so unless they are extremely cocky and arrogant or just outright stupid which nihilus has yet to demonstrate either.
Originally posted by Se7inDo we know anything about nihilus saber dueling capabilities? Hence that is why i made the assumption bane would "own" nihilus.
Wow. That is one of the worst deductions I've ever read. Because one character's skills is a variable, we must assume the one we know about is the better?
There is absolutely nothing to even indicate that he is at the least a (decent - good) saber duelist
^ just to sum it up, seeing that as you said his skill is variable, he could be so good such like count dooku, or he could be a shitty horrible duelist.
Seeing that we know nothing of his dueling abilities, i think ill just say bane beats him in that category. I'll concede teh "bane owns him" statement
Originally posted by Violent2DopeIts actually plausible for bane,vader, dooku to beat nihilus in a force fight until we have absolute proof that his abilities are instant like a force choke. Because for such a powerful technique to be unleashed, it would at the very least take mere moments to do so, and we have seen the 3 masters trying to cut the exile off the force and yet that took many moments though they were interrupted by kreia.
In a Force fight or all out, Bane cannot compare. However, saberwise, we have to say Bane until we know more about his saber abilities.
This technique alone used by the masters is to merely blind the exiles connection to the force where she can no longer feel it nor command it.
And we have nihilus technique which is even more lethal as it can completely destroy that bond between his victims which would kill them instantly, so its safe to assume this attack alone would take a few moments seeing that the weaker lesser version which just blinds you to the force takes a while.
Originally posted by Violent2DopeAnd an average saber user would get tooled by the people who mastered their lightsaber forms to its greatest degree in this case bane
It is true, until we know more about Nihilus' saber abilities, we have to say he is average. What we do know is he uses one hand, Makashi practitioner maybe?
