Darth Bane VS. Mace Windu

I think it's hard to dispute that Bane and Mace are on even tier in a lightsaber duel, if Mace were to have an advantage in thereof, it would be a slim win. Especially because Orbalisks protect most of his vital organs.

And I also think it's hard to dispute that Bane has a more than clear superiority to Mace in a competition of the Force. While Mace Windu could stop his lightning via his lightsaber, Bane also has superior Telekinesis, and easily has the superior arcane prowess.

So honestly, I find it hard to dispute Bane's superiority to Mace. In Mace's defense, however, he was able to stalemate Palpatine against all odds, so who knows?

I'm still voting both DoE and RoT Bane for the win though.

GREAT BATTLE!! i think mace is defiantly worthy of a duel with bane but my money is on the Darth.

Can he regen. a decapitated head?
The only area and the main shatter point that is not covered w/obelisks?

I don't see that being an easy target for Windu. Granted that to an extent Johun was getting in the way, but Farfalla, a noted duelist, and Lsu, the greatest duelist of her era bolstered by her shunning of any means of using the Force other than aiding her saber combat, were unable to decapitate Bane, so I doubt Windu acting alone, even pumped by Vaapad could get within his defenses long enough to take Bane's head.

If we're talking overall capability, I'd put my money on Lsu and Farfalla killing a solo Windu every day of the week, and as a team they certainly put about every bit of saberwork capable towards removing Bane's head from body.

I didn't say it would be easy,I agree with some of what you say...
Johun couldn't geat Bane if you taught him Juyo
Lsu,yes maybe....The key word you said was duelest,follow me if I'm right,
Farfalla was Form II practitioner was he not?

Lsu?They said the same things about Sora ,Dooku, Cin.
They were beaten,easily I might add.
These two beating Mace? I doubt it....

Bane took them down with either Djem So or Juyo
Or both somehow combined.
These Masters you speak were powered by battle meditation and still lost....
Even with the Power of Battle Meditation they couldn't get near his head!!!!

To kill a Form Vll specialist/Master It would take another Form Vll specialist /Master
If you follow the Physical intensity the style demands...the code of honor..thing

Any body can use the Force (easy) way out.
My question is can they do it?
Mace will have better chances then these Masters you spoke of.....
It won't be easy but Mace is the best choice even if he dies tring....

Good debate....

RoT Bane with Orbalisks should take it after a hard fight. DoE Bane dies painfully though.

Good point,but the DoE Bane concerns me a little.
It won't be an easy fight none are never easy....This Bane you don't want to underestimate....
I mean Zannah barely got the win....It's that spirit transfer that got me a little concerned .
A Battle of wills were Mace and Bane fight for control of his body......scary......
