Darth Bane vs. Darth Maul

Darth Bane comfortably.

The only aspect in which Darth Maul would pose a threat is his skills with a lightsaber. However, he is outgunned.

He's pretty powerful in the Force now as well.

I'm sure Bane's still significantly above him, but he should be able to put up a fight now.

Bane comfortably takes it only with Obralisk. Of course Bane can do fancy things like dark field but it has no relevance to actual combat. Maul tanked even Sidious' Force blast. Sidious waited for an opening in Maul's defence to Force blast him succesfully. I don't see Bane being as skilled all-out combatant as Sidious to create an opening in similar fassion nor I see him powerful enough to Force handle Maul like Sidious.
Maul can pull a star fighter on the run, that should account for something.

Maul dies again and again and again. No incarnation is skilled enough in sabers to take the day, nor will he be able to tank Bane's TK. He's a dead man walking the moment he steps into the arena.

Up

Bane in a good fight.

Maul

Screw Orbalisk though

Bane

Orbalisk Bane should win. DoE Bane dies to TCW Maul.

Maul wins quite easily

Could go eitherway, Maul's juyo could prevent bane from getting an oppurtunity to use tk and his durability and pain tolerance offer him a way to handle bane tking him. Don't think bane can ragdoll

Neither are very good hard to say

Bane, of course.

Bane is, arguably, the most powerful Sith Lord in existance. He can handle this shizz.

Maul wrecks. Topkek at Bane being more powerful than him.

Though I suppose you could always take ILS's approach and scale Maul off as better due to being trained as a banite sith for longer than Bane despite having a higher potential.

Well, he has better feats.

Better feats? Collapsing a 20 m temple is his best feat and he was completely out after that. Maul dragging a huge shuttle off a cliff, while being injured and unable to walk on his own, and while being fired upon by a small army of pirates, and doing so easily is a lot better feat than Bane's.

Comparing two TK feats between them is probably not the best way to determine who is more powerful.

Well if Maul can come across superior on TK feats, and by powerscaling, then combined that's a good case for Maul.

Maul's close combat skills (Saber + martial arts) are pretty much unparalleled. So no way Bane wins in that category.
