^yeah, Caedus pretty much shits all in Bane's face in sabers. The sith'ari's only trump card is his orbalisk armor, and there's a good chance that Caedus can overcome that with shatterpoint. If he can't outright dismantle the armor, he will learn through shatterpoint that FL of his caliber would basically prompt the orbalisks to kill Bane for him.

I bet Bane could make a fight of it, but Caedus does have the advantage in pretty much every area except for armor and maybe muscle power.
Bane has better lightning and is at least as fast as Caedus is.
Bane in the orbalisk armor is too powerful a combatant.

Caedus' lightning isn't powerful enough to kill Bane's orbalisks.

Yes, he does. By quite a lot. Bane's lightning could easily disintegrate multiple people and turn a giant monster into a charred husk. With one hand. A decade before his prime and without most of his orbalisks.

Nu-uh.
Yep. Bane's fast enough to appear to wield a dozen lightsabers to a Sith like Zannah, so he is really fvcking fast.

Almost total protection is too good. Caedus might be able to shatterpoint it, but I doubt he could while fending off Bane's all-out assault.

Negated.
The Orbalisks can absorb a shitton of electricity. One electrostaff can practically fry a Bantha. Bane was hit by 6 of them and the orbalisks absorbed everything.

Caedus can do all that doe.

I mean, Caedus's duel with Luke makes him evan strongar cause powerscailng.

Caedus isn't going to be intimidated by a Bane who couldn't get past Zannah's defenses even when he was pissed the f*ck out of his mind. IDK what you mean by "all-out assault" and how it's supposed to overwhelm Caedus.

Caedus's lightning would cripple Bane enough for Caedus to behead him.
All kidding aside, I still don't see anyone providing combat feats for Darth Bane that remotely begin to compare reasonably with those of Caedus, whose performance against Skywalker impresses me a helluva lot more than Bane's pathetic showings against some no-name shadow guards and a no-name Jedi strike squad. We're essentially comparing Bane's hype and name against a sith lord with real combat feats, an absurd damage soak and a host of esoteric Force abilities Bane has never before encountered.
Caedus wins with mid-difficulty.

3. Vitiate
4. Nihilus
5. Caedus
If it's power+skill+dueling abilty:
1. Sidious
2. Caedus
3. Plagueis
Not sure where to place N. and Vitiate goes way down the list.
