Peak Bane vs. Peak-Suit Vader

In three all-out battles, one on Ruusan, the next in the Death Star Throne Room, finally in the Geonosian arena. Who wins each round and why?

Bane has no orbalisks.

I don't think I can weigh in on this fairly as the only novel portrayals of Vader that I have are from TFU, and everything else is from the films and guidebooks.

Definitely want to see what others have to say.

Vader probably can't penetrate Bane's defenses.

Bane has a much better Force showing, imo.

I see Bane taking it.

Bane for sure.

Reported. You were warned. >😮)

Hey!

I don't think so. Most of Bane's uber-feats owed, at least in part, to orbalisks and dark side nexuses. On neutral ground, Vader has consistently higher showings. Bane might still wreck him in lightsaber combat, though.

What are Vaders 'consistently higher showings' exactly?

He threw some lunchboxes at Luke in ESB, iirc.

A comprehensive response with scans/quotes will have to come later, I'm playing Halo 4 atm. If you want to get a head start though, his feats in TFU2 across all platforms are pretty noteworthy.

Halo 4 is so two weeks ago.

It's being a pain in the patooty, if I do say so myself.

I completed my solo Legendary run last week. Wasn't' too bad. -flex-

Cortana's so adorable.

No, I'm playing War Games, foo.

I love Vader so much, but even I can't stand behind Lord Vader on this one. Unless this is Bane before the ending of PoD, I don't see Vader wining. Vader's TK would still not make it a Picnic for Bane....

Do not post autoplay videos, TheOneOfMortis.

If this discussion persists, I'm going to borrow liberally from Silver2467's exhaustive compilation of Vader!feats, but for now I'll provide some relevant ones from TFU2, which is very friendly for Vader.

Qcgh2P3abTg&feature=relmfu

Vader Force grips a clearly combat-ready Starkiller around the 7:16 mark, who, for all his vast power, is helpless to break the choke-hold by force.

78PbQXbCoRY&feature=relmfu

His feats with the partitions beginning at the 4:04 mark and continuing on to the 4:22 mark are impressive, wrenching, destroying, and hurling them in tandem. The force with which Starkiller generates to repulse them (seen at the 4:27 mark) suggests strength to Vader's grip.

Vader goes on to collapse the elevator tower at the 4:33 mark.

mC1EhgcAwRg&feature=relmfu

Vader destroys a large section of the communications tower thrown at him by Starkiller at the 2:07 mark.

pPEwcVujTrM&feature=relmfu

Vader chokes Starkiller again at the 3:14 mark and ragdolls him at the 3:24 mark.

Seawn0wQ0P0&feature=relmfu

He ragdolls Kota at the 2:09 mark, Starkiller at the 2:38 mark and walks him back into an energy field, holding him aloft for 20 seconds.

At the 8:22 mark, Vader wrenches a cloning platform from its moorings and hurls it at Starkiller. To understand its size, note that Vader is standing on an identical platform and that the two had been dueling on them previously in the fight. He repeats the action twice, I think.

That's all from the Wii. I resubmit my issue over the canonicity of those events.
