Can Bane solo 20 MagnaGuards or Galen Marek Neph?

Yes?

Ti lost to Marek though.

He only got lucky though! She had him on the ropes. Plus she was using planetary TP at the same time casually on a dark side Felucia. amirite?

Shaak Ti's performance was very impressive, but lets not take away from Marek for stopping her blade with TK which was pretty awesome. That's no fluke.

That's true. Now the question is can Bane TK Shaak Ti's power blows?

Why would Bane need to?

When Shaak Ti gets him on the backfoot in a duel like she did Galen.

Why would a 7 foot tall mountain of muscle who rips durasteel doors off their hinges be put on the backfoot by Shaak Ti's power blows?

Because she pressured someone with "perfect skills". I was joking with the power blows part though.

Actually it's "near-perfect skills".

Still, having near-perfect skills is a big deal.

He's driven back someone with more perfect skills before.

Wait, Bane was beating a duelist with near-perfect skills? Who?

Kas'im. He mastered all forms to utter perfection in all styles.

There's an "utter perfection" quote?

I can haz please?

“Kas'im's form and technique were flawless.”
--Darth Bane: Path of Destruction

“Kaan could ill afford to lose the loyalty of the greatest swordsman of his camp.”
--Darth Bane: Path of Destruction

"His weapon became an extension of the Force, and he responded to the Twilek's unstoppable attack with an impenetrable defense."
--Darth Bane: Path of Destruction

“Kas'im had trained his entire life for this moment. After years of study, he'd mastered all seven forms of the lightsaber. Then he'd honed his skill for decades, perfecting every move and sequence until he had become the perfect weapon and the greatest living swordsman in the galaxy. Maybe the greatest swordsman ever.”
--Darth Bane: Path of Destruction

Huh.

Not bad yo.

Bane isn't that good. Without his Orbalisk armor, he couldn't even penetrate Zannah's defense, even despite the fact, that she didn't specialize herself in lightsaber combat. Sarro, Raskta or Kas'Im were well above her.
His lightning also wasn't that strong, since he couldn't even push Zannah to her limits when he tried to overpower her with that. She was protecting herself with medium difficulty at best, as I remember.

Shaak Ti, on the other hand, is a bit overrated. With power scaling, her duel against Magnaguards means nothing (like Mace's actions on Dantooine for example).

Bane with hight difficulty, I would say.

Kas'im has no feats to compare with Shaak, she has the feat of knocking back Galen all Kas'im has is Bane's opinion.
