Even Zampano thinks you are a fool.

The point is not that Yoda tends to attack the head, but that Bane is only vulnerable on his head. The hit-box area is not nearly as large for Bane as it is for most combatants. Thus, Bane's only valid hit points are his head and wrists; uniquely, Yoda has a similar advantage. Yoda can only be harmed with strikes aimed at a region traditionally holding the ankles of an opponent, which is hardly a conventional or convenient target.
Overall, I don't think that Yoda would win this battle. We have seen that he quickly becomes fatigued, in AotC as well as RotS. In each of those cases, his Force Valor overcomes the limitations of the flesh in the short term against physically average opponents. Bane is a much more physical combatant than Dooku (or Sidious!) and would therefore tire Yoda even more quickly. Furthermore, the two have shown relative parity w/r/t lightsaber skills. The battle will be decided by mastery of the Force, be it in physical augmentation or otherwise.
In the case of a more arcane duel, I suspect that Yoda would be on more even footing. While we haven't seen many obscure techniques from the Grand master, he's had hundreds of years to master every facet of the Jedi teachings. Bane, despite his high learning speed and access to undeniably vast stores of Force knowledge, has an admitted deficiency in the one area Yoda is likely to have a deficiency: Sith Sorcery.
Bane, then, has a particular advantage in the physical realm and fights on roughly even terms within the Force. That sounds like the recipe for a dead Jedi and a victorious mountain of man-meat. [/B][/QUOTE]

JESUS, I KNOW. By that post I meant that he may also be able to find the weak point in Bane's wrists, unlike other Jedi ... Maybe you misinterpreted what I meant thanks to what I said about Dooku ... I should've explained myself better.You make good points, though. It would be an interesting duel.

oh, right. that makes sense, but wouldn't he have to take off both hands at once, so that the rage-chemicals released by losing one hand don't make him entirely too strong to parry?
Making me look bad really isn't working out for you. On the other hand, you've just proven to everyone how much of an idiot you are. Cheers.
