PoD Darth Bane Vs ROTS Obi Wan Kenobi

Okay, since theirs alot of talk about PoD Bane lets see how he goes up against ROTS Obi Wan.

I would have to go with Kenobi on this forsure. Bane might be more powerful but Kenobi has way better saber feats(pwning Grievous in ROTS, beating/stalemating Assaj Ventress, stalemating with Maul).

yes, kenobi wins for sure

Bane.

Ya really. Not by a lot, but I still see him as having the edge in the Force and having almost as good lightsaber prowess.

I would have said Bane, but two things change my mind:

1. Kenobi's mastery of soresu surpasses all evidence of Bane's proficiency with djem so
2. Bane's most often cited Force feat occurred on a DS nexus stronger than Korriban's

Well you seem to think that Kas'im and Kenobi are relatively close to each other, judging by your comments in the other thread and that you put them on the same tier in terms of bladework.

So do you not think that Bane could beat Kenobi the same way he was beating Kas'im, through simply being more powerful than him?

My opinion of Obi Wan may have increased. And his soresu did well against Grievous and Anakin. Even Dooku resorted to using the Force on him.

But don't you think Bane could break his Force Defenses? Idk I might vote Kenobi, but Bane's raw power is impressive even by this point.

Bane could probably crush him with the force. Obi-Wan would troll him in a saber duel though.

Could he? What has PoD Bane done to put him that massively beyond Obi Wan? His greatest feat, destroying the foundations of an old temple, was done on a powerful DS nexus.

I believe he turned a Drexl into dust using lightning just days after the events of PoD. Not sure if it was only days, so don't take my word for it.

What has RotS Obi-Wan ever done with the Force [that compares to Bane's feat]?

He equalized Anakin in a force struggle.

That's not nearly as impressive as turning a massive beast into ashes using lightning, especially considering RotS Anakin's TK isn't that impressive.

He has lifted a ball in AotC. In RotS, he effortlessly sealed the exits and proceeded to wipe out Viceroy Gunray.

Lol.

He moves a huge boulder in the AotC novelization.

Kenobi defeated Anakin, a stronger, faster and overall better Djem So duelist than Bane. This shouldn't be argued. Anakin was basically equal to Mace who was second to Yoda at the time of ROTS, and at the time of AOTC, was probably better at dueling than most jedi.

Kenobi is called by Mace Windu, the greatest master of Soresu.

This is usually forgotten, Kenobi can actually put up a good offense, as he is a high level practicioner of Ataru. He also had advanced training in Shii-Cho, Niman, Shien, Jar'Kai, and Tae Jitsu.

Kenobi likely had the strongest Force Push of the council, and although he was slowly being overpowered, he was able to match Anakin's rage boosted one for a significant amount of time, and eventually was blasted back, along with Vader.

Kenobi has the capability of tutaminis (the original CW cartoon) though Lightning absorption seems out of his ability besides absorbing it with his lightsaber.

He used saber throw, Repulse, and could use the force to make sounds like the roar of a Krayt dragon.

Kenobi is seriously being underestimated here.

nah, only by some people is kenobi underestimated

Really?

"This pronouncement had startled Obi-Wan, and he had protested. After all, the only form in which he was truly even proficient was Soresu, which was the most common lightsaber form in the Jedi Order."

No.
