DoE Bane vs. Savage Oppress

That's a feat of endurance not a feat of speed. Bane not being able to deflect slow moving water droplets is embarrassing on his part. Also as anyone should expect there are no coherent arguments from the Bane crowd.

The sheer number of the rain droplets should be more than enough to make it a good speed feat.

That still wouldn't change the fact that its not a speed feat, its a test of Bane's endurance which was never in question and hardly relevant to how he'd perform in a duel. Bane has no speed feats that put him above Savage, and redirecting faster moving bolts from all directions is far more impressive than failing to dodge slow moving raindrops.

Bane doesn't have long ass horns, either.

I think we can settle for Savage deflecting blaster bolts = Bane deflecting rain drops.

TBH we should be concentrating on the questions of skill, dueling ability and force power.

EDIT: Savage wins in the poll so far, even though

Spoiler:
I accidently voted for Bane having an edge

DoE Bane was stated to be faster than he was with orbalisks.

That's a perspective based opinion from Bane and not supported by any feats in DOE that would surpass anything he did with Orbalisks. Bane's own opinion doesn't override what he actually accomplished

Nah.

Bane basically blitzes Savage.

When did Savage block these bolts anyway?

Bane couldn't even blitz Zannah and even with Orbalisks Hetton dodged his lightning. Bane isn't blitzing anyone.

That was in Witches of the mist

Bane also never faced anyone with TK on the level of bloodlusted Savage.

.....

You mean the part where he starts wildly swinging at them and barely manages to deflect more that a few bolts?

And lol at Bane blitzing Savage. Come on now.

Speed will not decide this duel. Skill and power will, though.

At the end of his fight with Anakin and Obi-Wan, when droids started closing in on him, he was deflecting omnidirectional fire from dozens of droids for a few seconds but eventually they began overwhelming him.

And lol at Bane blitzing Savage. Come on now.

Not really, he was blocking the ones in front of him but most of them were just hitting him. He was getting hit by tons of them, lol. I don't see how thats in any way comparable.

I'm not joking. Bane's a lot faster.

Looks like he gets hit by like a dozen right at the end before he blasts them all back lol

Both areas in which Savage outdoes Bane

Savage has beaten Adi Gallia, fought evenly with Ventress, and Halsey and Knox with an axe (without any formal training), and beaten other Jedi knights in the TCW comics I can't recall.

Bane has fought evenly with Zannah and beaten Sirak, Sirak is featless and Zannah as a duelist has only beaten a half trained Jedi knight Set Harth. Bane is an inferior duelist.

I already listed Bane's unamped/non nexus tk feats, and they're all inferior to Savage's as well.

Bane's only realistic way to even claim a few rounds is lightning.

I don't remember saying he wasn't hit by them at the end. He was deflecting them from all directions prior to that, and it's still a better speed feat than deflecting rain.

Speed isn't really a massive issue, except for people who want to over-glorify Bane.

Its still a better feat than failing dismally to even catch ever drop of slowmoving rain drops with a lightsaber.

lmao

No counterargument then. So be it
