The first one when she was an apprentice and nowhere near her prime, and the second time he couldn't do so through his own abilities and needed to rely on the environment. You are arguing that Jaina can win based solely on her abilities. She can't. 😬

What the ****?
Bane was trashing her.
"Instead of a savage, relentless pressure meant to overwhelm her, he settled into a pattern of feints and quick thrusts, probing and prodding her defenses in search of a weakness as the two of them settled in for a long battle of attrition. [...] Now, however, his technique was more advanced. Unable to simply bully his way heedlessly forward, he had developed an unpredictable, seemingly random style. Each time she thought she could anticipate where the next attack was coming from, he changed tactics, disrupting the rhythm of the battle and causing her to give ground. [b]She was being driven back in a slow retreat, and she realized he was herding her toward the shuttles, hoping to pin her against the metal hull with no place to go." [/B]
How the flying fvck is that "trashing" her? She was slowly retreating, which is something pretty much every defensive fighter does to maintain optimal distance. It doesn't establish jack shit. He couldn't get through her defense. End of.

Retreating and giving up tactical ground are two completely different things. 😐
[B]Retreat: withdraw from enemy forces as a result of their superior power or after a defeat.
According to you, the only way to beat Zannah is to get through her defense, implying Bane would have eventually got through her defense.
/double_standards_logic_attacked [/B]
And Zannah was doing the latter, love:
"Bane circled wide trying to come in on her left flank. Zannah simply altered the angle of her retreat, taking several more steps backward to keep him at a safe distance as she swatted away a few token slashes and strikes."
While only dealing with some token attacks Zannah takes a few steps back to "keep him at a safe distance". You're just playing semantics.

Bane was driving her back and she admitted that if he got her back against a wall she would have lost. But Bane couldn't penetrate her defenses without backing her into something. If she had all the space in the world to keep retreating, Bane wouldn't have beaten her in sabers
Jaina is a better Duelist than Bane.
