Also, can someone list Bane's best speed feat, because his rain feat does not put him on Sidious/Yoda's speed level, not even close.

His rain feat demonstrates a huge increase in speed. In POD, Bane was capable of striking ten times per second, and moving invisibly fast to a room full of other force users. At the beginning of ROT however, he considers the rainstorm feat impossible even while using TK. By DOE however he is fully capable of it with his lightsaber. This implies a huge increase in speed by around 3 times as much.

Another thing to consider is that Kas'im fighting around 15 strikes per second was considered by Drew Karpyshyn to be akin to six blades, while Bane in ROT was akin to twelve blades. In DOE Bane is faster than Zannah could've ever imagined, and Zannah fought Bane when he was akin to twelve blades.

Both of these lead me to believe his striking speed is somewhere around 30 per second, which is faster than Grievous's max speed of 20 that was overwhelming Kenobi so...

Neph, when NewGuy listed one of Dooku's speed feats of appearing to be several places at once, you called it hyperbole, yet you cite similar statements regarding Bane's speed. Really? You know you're on the losing side of a debate when you can't stick to a single standard. Mind if I troll harder?

As Dr Cox is rather irritatingly singing, 'wrong.' The one Newguy wrote is pretty clearly hyperbole, 'he seemed to be everywhere at once.' Obviously Dooku didn't actually appear to be everywhere at once, that's apparently an exaggeration. In comparison the quote I'm talking about isn't, 'the strikes coming so fast it seemed as if he wielded a dozen blades at the same time.' Its simply describing what Zannah is perceiving because of Banes sheer speed. Its specific, plausible and has no element of exaggeration.

PoD Bane vs TCW Maul = overall Maul is better at this point
RoT Bane vs Dooku = very close, possibly RoT Bane
DoE Bane vs Vader = again, very close. I give it to Vader

Then Vader and Maul finish RoT Bane..
