POD Bane vs ROTS Obi-Wan Kenobi sabers only

Since in an all out fight, Bane would probably win, its a saber fight. Who wins? 😉

This would be close. One of the best duels ever, imho. Bane is probably similar to ROTS Vader with a blade, but more calm that Vader was on Mustafar... Bane definitely has a chance, just cause Kenobi's saber defense was never breached in ROTS doesn't mean that it can't be.

Kenobi's Soresu might match up well enough to Djem So but Bane is a level headed fighter.

He is also cunning - something that Anakin never was despite Kenobi's lies in ANH.

Bane does exactly the same thing that he does in his Kas'im fight and Win's due to his vast superiority in the Force. Despite Kenobi's vaunted Soreso mastery Bane kick's his ass even without the force strength. The key to Soreso is to wait for your opponant to get tired, which Bane doesn't. In POD it states that he uses meditation's to destroy his need for sleep.

Also that Bane is Smart, Powerful and a Ruthless combatant would play in.

How can he win "due to his vast superiority in the force" if it is sabers only? Bane is good, would beat obi-wan in an all out fight, but this is sabers, and Obi-Wan was stated to be one of the best swordsmen the jedi order had ever seen.

The Force helps you in a saber fight, though, too. It lets you see what your oponent will do next, look microseconds into the future to see wheere your opponent will swing at you. That's how they block each other's blades.

This is like asking which one would win. F-15 or Mig-29.
And both of then WITHOUT targeting computers or radars.

Crude fact is that a modern fighter is nothing without its electronic systems. About as powerful in combat as a jedi is without the Force.

Sorry. I kind of just noticed the PoD in the subject.
I think Obi Wan would win this.

Does Bane get a noticeable power-up from middle of RoT to the end, then?

Anyways, this will be a very close match. I might have to say Obi Wan, because of his mastery of soresu. Unless someone convinces me otherwise...

It's already been established that Bane thoroughly outclasses Obi-Wan. Bane absolutely dominated Kas'im on equal footing, and he'd do a lot worse to the far less impressive Obi-Wan.

i'd like to tiredly reassert a couple of things that i've had to reassert over and over and over, because they simply aren't true.

First bane did not dominate Kas'im. Kas'im dominated Bane, and then bane killed kas'im with the force. its all in the book, its ridiculous to continue to deny it.

2nd. Obi-wan impresses me a lot more than Kas'im. Obi-wan was one of the top Jedi swordsmen of the Clone Wars era, and defeated the chosen one in one on one combat. Kas'im was a higher level Lackey in a Sith Empire comprised mostly of sith so weak that they were totally under mind control of one Sith Lord that was easily dispatched by Bane. What does kas'im ever do (not what does it say about his skills) but what does he ever DO that makes him the least bit impressive (except for defeating Bane, but if you bring that up, you lose the argument on my first point....)

This is true. But lets not bring Kas'im into this.

You do realize your debating against Nebaris so be ready for a potentially big response.

Being that this POD Bane and not ROT this fight will be pretty close and has the potential of going either way as noted with the similiarites between POD Bane and ROTS Anakin's use of Djem So however I do think Bane would be smarter than to try and jump at Obiwan like Anakin did. So I doubt Obiwan would win (if he does at all) would come due to a headstrong mistake from Bane. So I think Obiwan would have to eventually go on the offensive because As Darth Exodus said Bane is very physically fit and probably more so than Obiwan being that he is younger.

It is worth bring up that both of the characters at their current point (POD and ROTS respectively) biggest individual victories have come over two people that they had spent days training with (and in obiwan's case years) so the knowledge of their opponents fighting style certainly came into play.
