ROTS Sidious vs. ROT Bane

they are gonna fight to try to kill the other one of them.

you think?

edit- youre not really truejedi are you?

Bane tries to kill Sidious by using the Force and maybe his lightsaber, this while Sids tries to kill Bane... by using the Force and maybe his own lightsaber. They will probably do this in some sort of combat type of situation. One of them will probably die, maybe both of them when fatal wounds are inflicted during the killing of the other one, this is just an assumption though. Causes of death will unlikely be old age, AIDS or drowning... although this last one may occur if the vicinity includes open spaces of water. When one of the combatants has the higher ground, they will have a significant advantage (leaping causes death). This scenario will have a high ratio percentage of limb losing, most likely the left hand or the right. Limb losing will have a low blood percentage.

But this is all just my own personal potential observation of the fight.

Slash, that is maybe the best thing i've ever read. ROFL. (which means I am smirking, and made that snorting noise twice while reading it.) I was serious about the thread though, I just didn't want to go into great detail on the OP, opting instead for the poor grammar, low intelligence approach.

Well, if I say that Sidious would win, I'd probably get a lot of Nebs attacking me. If I say that Bane would win, some Gideons will attack me.

I'd actually go with the second though. Sidious being called the most powerfull Sith and all that.

stalemate anyone?

Sidious is more powerful than Bane according to multiple sources BUT in this case Bane has the external orbalisks to amp him, which pretty much protects >90% of his entire body and pumps aldrenaline into his body as well. Bane can also use parts of his body to block Sidious's strikes.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bane won a strictly lightsaber duel, but in the Force and all out Sidious wins.

Well, this isn't Sidious at his peak. Orbalisks do make Bane a TOUGH target to kill. Sidious might have to fry him, but I don't know if he could overwhelm Bane's ability to block lightning. (with his lightsaber, or hands for that matter)

at RN: Thanks for vouching for me... I was trying to be funny with my OP though...

I chuckled at the OP. It was the Poll that had me worried.

Well, the vote is 4-4. This warrants further discussion. I'm really not sure. Anyone feel strongly on the subject? Do the "Most powerful of all time" statements include Sidious as of ROTS? And do they take into account the period of Bane's life where he is having his power amped by Orbalisks?

I voted Sidious. For obvious reasons.

Yes, they include Sidious as of ROTS, one of the quotes is from his dance with Yoda.

They're almost equal in everything, with the orbalisk boost neutralising any lead Sidious has over him if we are to take him as 'most strongerist' imo. Sidious' mind-****ery+5 wasn't enough to win over Marek and Bane displayed heavy resistance to it with Kaan, so I doubt he'd have any luck there. I'd give it to Bane purely becuase he has more impressive TK feats, but its still a furious duel.

just read the Yoda duel again: I didn't see anything about ROTS sidious being the most powerful sith lord ever.

We do have the "Most devestatingly powerful foe the darkness had ever known" for Yoda, but Bane with orbalisks wasn't beaten by a lightsider (or beaten, for that matter) so Yoda can't be used to measure sidious over Bane there.

"Yoda went after Palpatine in the empty Senate chamber, but could not defeat the most powerful Sith Lord in history."

okay, and I am even willing to take that at face value that it is talking about it during that time period.

Orbalisks make much of a difference for Bane?

Yes, imo.

I haven't voted yet.

Oh, and TJ?

The words "in history" used to refer to a certain period. You know... every period.
