Bane is not a perfect being at all.
I have always thought this to be a tough match. Mace does have shatterpoint and vaapad which would eneable him to see every weakness bane has along with all the darkside energy bane would use=nothing because of vaapad.
Orbs bane is crazy with a saber but IMO he is too much in a rage and i belive mace windu to be way more level headed than orbs bane.
also GL said only yoda and mace were on Sidious's level in lightsaber combat so it's tough to gauge but I would give it to mace windu 6 or 7/10 times.
Vaapad took the user's inherent darkness and love of battle and used it to fuel their strength and speed without turning them to the Dark Side (though they came close). For it to be really effective, the user also employed the opponents fury and darkness against them, forming a superconducting loop, which Mace used to defeat Palpatine.
Originally posted by IncanusI've read that book recently and I don't recall it amplifying by 100%, or at all, actually. And I can't really see Bane blocking his own Lightning here. Whereas the Lightning killed Worror, it won't actually be touching Mace. So Bane is facing a very likely death at the hands of his Orbalisks, which apparently will release a deadly toxin in to his system when they die of "over-feeding" on Bane's own Lightning. Even if Bane survives the encounter due to his bulk and strength, he'll certainly be in no condition to keep fighting (he'll be unconscious).
Well, Bane has 12 bolts with 1 hand, so he may be able to block his own lightning. Bot no, Worrors move was far worse, as it amplified it beyond 2 million volts. Normally 1 bolt only contains an excess of 1 million.
Well, it was reflected back and went to the other side while still hitting him, so he was hit by 2-3 times as many bolts. That is alot of electricity. What would Mace do when Bane launches a concussive blast, when he LEVELED a Rakatan temple with 1 blast? And what about his force storm? after 1 hour it was extremely powerful. After 20 YEARS, imagine the power of it.
His Force storm was amplified by the other Sith Lords, including Kaan and Kopecz. And Mace was able to telekinetically overturn an AT-TE with ease, used the Force to punch through battle droids, used the Force to hurl away hundreds of droids (I hated those cartoons sometimes, but the CGI one still sucks more) and according to Wookiee, unleashed a Force attack which obliterated droids. Then there's his whole use of Force Crush, and something about his fight with Kar Vastor. I haven't read that book, but apparently there's some serious shit he pulls against a guy bigger than Bane.
I'm not saying this would be an easy fight, but Mace is capable of withstanding Bane and defeating him, especially when he employs a lightsaber style that is completely foreign to Bane.
Oh that thing with Githany. Was its power gauged, or was it just looked at in awe by the as of yet unqualified Bane and Gith? I really don't see how an undirected swirl of Lightning is going to be more effective than a concentrated blast right at the opponent, especially someone of Mace\s power and speed.

Yeah, but say he is able to immobilize Mace long enough using a power he learned from Revan, or Nadds holocron, what about then? Mace would be screwed if Bane pulled a force storm off. He may even be able to change the weather of the planet using that power. Idk. Maybe.
You my friend are what we call a Bane fanboy.
