Bane & Zannah vs Satele and Marek

Bane and Zannah (Dynasty of Evil) have abducted both Revan (grandpa) & Juno. Satele enlists the aid of Galen (TFU II) to rescue both of them. But the second objective is to kill Bane and Zannah.

No rules. Fight takes place at Korriban.

Bane and Zannah. The fight being on Korriban means that they can use their most powerful abilities. Bane can use his Death Field and Zannah can use her Naughty Tentacles.

Both Satele and Marek are adept in the use of Tutaminis: Force abilities that can be used to absorb dark powers.

I'd say that Team 2 have good chance.

IMO;

50/50 (very generous assessment)

40/60 (realistic assessment)

Bane and Zannah win in a close fight.
Though Marek is the most powerful combatant here, DS nexus grants Sith team a valuable advantage. Plus Satele is not enough to compensate for Jedi team lack of “fire power”.

I think you need to rewatch Hope trailer. Her raw power seems to be on par with that of Master Yoda in this footage alone. She is arguably the strongest individual in this whole group. She packs talents that I have never seen duplicated.

On par with Yoda...stronger than Bane or Marek?...seriously 😬

Yes!

This is Satele Shan as Jedi Knight:

I shudder to think what she would be as Grand Jedi Master.

Roffles. Not only are Malak and Revan a match for Sidious solo in your book, but now Satele trumps Yoda. Wow.

Please don't misrepresent my assertions. Where did I said that Satele trumps Yoda?

Yoda is good.

Have you seen this episode: http://starwars.com/explore/the-clone-wars/ep101/

?

What impression this episode gives you? Yoda have limits too, don't you think?

As far as Revan is concerned; I do believe that Revan would be a good solo contest for Sidious. Did you conveniently forget that he is supposed to be counted among the "elite" Force-wielders in the mythos? Tell me how many individuals in the mythos have accomplished as much as Revan have?

Drew confirmed to be me via private conversation that Revan is capable of performing all of the flashy feats such as collapse buildings and such. Just because Drew didn't write a novel depicting Revan in this manner, doesn't means the character is not intended to be immensely powerful. In fact, it is implied in the novel that Revan's command in the Force is greater then that of everybody whom Meetra has met. Revan have even been compared to Vitiate in terms of capabilities at one point in the novel.

Revan's combat performance aboard Star Forge does cements his position among the likes of Satele and Yoda in my books.

Also, I do believe that Sidious can defeat Revan. However, it will be a fight to watch.

The Starkiller Clone is the weak link here.

Satele is stronger than Bane or Zannah, but that might not save her. Starkiller II has displayed tutanimus if IIRC, as has Satele Shan, together they might could pull a win. As the Jedi technique of tutanimus could negate the energies of Zannah's Sith technique of phantom tendrils.

Nicely put.

Though I believe that Starkiller can also handle Bane or Zannah in one-on-one basis under right circumstances. Let us give credit where due.

Uhm…feat-wise TFU II Marek is the most impressive combatant here, and under normal circumstances (OP states they fight at a DS nexus) he will dominate in the Force…
Don’t see how you see him as a weak link.
Satele is stronger than Bane or Zannah.

I’m not aware of anything that puts her close in power to Bane or even Zannah, especially when they are on a DS nexus which grants them pretty ridiculous abilities like deadly force field or dark side tentacles...
IMO Satele from the trailer is impressive, but not as impressive as they are. Though, you are welcome to make a case for her, of course.

Not to mention team 1 has the advantage in the saber department. Bane and Zannah take this.

Then you need to do some digging on capabilities of Malgus.

Watch this trailer now:

http://www.swtor.com/info/media/trailers/return

This is young Malgus. The events depicted in the Hope trailer happen much later; Malgus has grown in power and experience by this time. In a source called "The Third Lesson", Malgus once again proved his mettle in a fight that took place a short while after the events depicted in the Hope trailer in the same world (planet). I suggest that you read "The Third Lesson" as well.

Once you will understand Malgus's capabilities, then you will be able to understand how potent Satele is.

No he won't.

He watches video game cinematics and uses solely that for Starkiller II.

Starkiller does things in the game that he can't really do pertaining to the canon-novels.

lol

Korriban gives the dark side users an advantage in the fight. I think Bane and Zannah take this, especially if Zannah makes good use of her Sith Sorcery which I do not believe Satele or Marek are used to.

Worst comes to worst, Bane can try to possess a tired opponent if he loses.

You said that by her showing she was on par with Yoda, and that one can only imagine how great she would be as a Master, therefore implying that she would become far more powerful, therefore implying that she is beyond Yoda.

Your arguments are weak. I understand it though, because if you put her above and beyond Yoda, then your unfounded belief that Revan and Malgus are more powerful than Bane, Zannah, Vader, and also capable of taking on Sidious solo almost makes sense.

Regardless, you have lost. That is all.

I'm sorry, I can't help but mention that Galen Marek is not a clone--the clone's name is Starkiller, the one more powerful than Marek. Unfortunately, I admit that Galen Marek and Satele Shan may possibly lose, but only barely. Marek was a... something in the Force. He soloed Kota, Kazdan Paratus, Shaak Ti, Maris Brood, Shadow Guard, Darth Vader, Palpatine, and he can solo Darth Maul, Ben Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Darth Desolous and Darth Phobos, all with a Force Push. He has a wide array of force powers, which I feel is mostly displayed game-wise but don't hate on that either, it should count. I've only ever seen Satele solo Malgus before--losing both times--but Malgus was powerful, and she displayed lots of saber skill in each fight. Most of these replies just talk about the DS Nexus the others have and the others just become other off-topic debates. I say Marek and Shan may have a good chance of winning. 50/50 is my vote

The reason we're talking about the DS nexus is because Tempest some people dismiss a lot of what Bane and Zannah do on the basis of their best feats taking place on a DS nexus. There being a nexus here means that all their feats are in. Which is a pretty damning argument for their victory.

Also, tentacles.

Recheck the Hope trailer to analyze all her feats in this duel. Afterwards, elaborate if you find or don't find her as impressive as Yoda.

I have also cited a source (which although a less realistic medium) involves Yoda in combat.

Tell me! You expect Yoda to break planets apart with a thought?

Why is it such a taboo for some fans of Star Wars to expect a predecessor of Yoda to be a match for him in power or possibly be stronger?

Take it easy, hon.

I forgot that I am expected to follow your belief in all this. Also, claims such as "you have lost" are premature when I defeated your argument in another thread not long ago.

I suggest that you stop underestimating TOR era greats.
