Which further proves Kas'sim sucks even more because even with superior skill, more experience, an AMP, and the fact he held back from Bane he still lost.Thank you for reiterating my point that Kas'sim sucks! 👆
And how does this prove Kas'im sucks? Let's review the facts:
1) Mastered every form of lightsaber combat: check
2) Mastered every sequence of every form to perfection: check
3) Regarded as the greatest swordsman in the galaxy, and possibly who has ever lived (up to that point): check
4) Instructed Bane and turned him into a formidable duelist: check
5) Purposely discouraged learning dual blade techniques, yet mastered Ataru's dual blade form: check
6) Forced to fall back on his dual blade mastery, due to being outclassed by Bane: check
7) Only pushed Bane back, due to his form's unfamiliarity to Bane: check
8) Still lost, due to Bane's superior command of the Force allowing him bring down part of the Rakata temple on Kas'im: check
1) Mastered every form of lightsaber combat: check
Am I supposed to be impressed? Cin Drallig mastered all seven forms, and like Kas'sim he got trashed in one stride. Mastery means nothing if you lack the requisite dueling feats to showcase said mastery, Kas'sim got trashed by trainee Bane this calls his purported 'mastery' into question
2) Mastered every sequence of every form to perfection: check
Which meant little seeing as he got his ass kicked 👆
3) Regarded as the greatest swordsman in the galaxy, and possibly who has ever lived (up to that point): check
That was a perspective based description from Bane. Bane was not aware of every duelist in the SW galaxy at the time, so there is no way he can make that call. Secondly, he lacks the feats to prove that, and no accolades to back it up apart from that quote from Bane's mind
4) Instructed Bane and turned him into a formidable duelist: checkNah.
5) Purposely discouraged learning dual blade techniques, yet mastered Ataru's dual blade form: check
So?
6) Forced to fall back on his dual blade mastery, due to being outclassed by Bane: check
Bane relied on a nexus to help him, he even remarked about the power of Lehon's latent darkside power in comparison to Korriban. Also Kas'sim as I've demonstrated is a shit duelist, beating him is no big trask
7) Only pushed Bane back, due to his form's unfamiliarity to Bane: check
And he still lost. If he's a formidable blade master, why can't he beat him out of pure skill? Why did he have to rely on trickery instead of just outright stomping a trainee? He sucked thats why
8) Still lost, due to Bane's superior command of the Force allowing him bring down part of the Rakata temple on Kas'im: check [/B]
Bane depended on a nexus, kthx
1) Mastered every form of lightsaber combat: check
So did Cin Drallig.
2) Mastered every sequence of every form to perfection: check
Perfection is subjective on Bane's part, tbh.
3) Regarded as the greatest swordsman in the galaxy,
Big deal, there weren't any great Sith swordsmen in the galaxy at the time.
and possibly who has ever lived (up to that point): check
According to Bane.
5) Purposely discouraged learning dual blade techniques, yet mastered Ataru's dual blade form: check
Is this supposed to be an accomplishment?
7) Only pushed Bane back, due to his form's unfamiliarity to Bane: check
Was slaughtering Bane*
8) Still lost, due to Bane's superior command of the Force allowing him bring down part of the Rakata temple on Kas'im: check
Lost because he decided to monologue. 👆

If the rebels hype holds up then yes. Bane really isn't that good of a duelist
I think she can hold him off even as a Padawan. To me, holding her own against Ventress (before Ashoka reached her prime as an apprentice), as well as against Grievous is more than enough to suggest that. And it would seem that in Rebels she improved even more.

I concur.
Adding Cin who is an esteemed swordsman and, if RotS game is any suggestion, a powerful Force user in his own right will tip the scales even further in team's favor.
Adding Ragnos and Trebor is an overkill. Bane cannot compete with that.
