1. They need to figure that out first

B. That is literally the only thing he has to defend.

Even if they are better martial artist all Bane has to do is block decapitation strikes and he is invincible

and dismembering strikes. biscuits

its been tried. His healing factor makes them pointless

I would make the case that between the pair of them they could figure it out. Bane's lightsaber can't cover every inch of his neck.

His orbalisks won't protect him from being ragdolled or having his organs destroyed via telekinesis.

Not at all.

No-one ever cut his hand clean off. IIRC Lsu merely cut his wrist.

Seeing a lot of trolling against Maul and Anakin. Not cool, guys. If RotS Anakin gets Force rage or whatever {i.e. if he's Zonakin}, team 1 stomps. Zonakin makes Dooku {who's already on Malak's level at least} look like a weak feeb and Maul is several generations stronger than Bane.

If not Zonakin, team 1 wins more narrowly.

What?

Malak isn't anywhere near Dooku's level, maybe in power but he's a vastly inferior duelist.

But yeah amped by rage either of them can stomp Malak

I concur. I'm not sure Malak is Dooku's equal. I personally see him as more like Maul tier, but less skilled.

Ehh, I've always put Forge!Malak in Dooku's tier. No question that the Count is naturally the superior warrior by a healthy margin: a better duelist, more powerful and skilled Force user, etc.

Its easy to just say that they can attack Bane's weakpoints. It's another matter for them entirely to actually be able to pull it off. Neither Maul or Anakin is so far ahead of Bane that they can hit incredibly hard to hit area's while Bane has full liberty to wail on them and attack their entire body.

Also it took time for Anakin to build up to his fully power, and he was against a Sith who he hated a hell of a lot more than two dudes he's never met. He had a lot more impetus to get angry with Dooku capturing his semi-father figure Palpatine, especially after Obi-Wan got taken out on top of that. Also recall that he was easily Dun Moch'ed out of his rage and needed Sidious to compell him to accept it. Bane at least is subtle, perceptive and intelligent enough to identify Anakin's hesitation and throw him off and Malak also ****ing loves mouthing off mid-battle. Similarly, Maul has no reason to rage.

It's not hard to figure out. Once they realize he is covered in lightsaber proof armor, his head is a laughably obvious weak point.

Team 2

and easily defended. Especially for a soresu user like Bane.

What? Why would they attack him if they know he's "lightsaber proof"? Also being a Soresu "user" wont save him from two bloodlusted duelists who are vastly superior in skill to him. They can also stomp him with the force

Bane's definitely weaker than anyone on team 1. Malak is good, just not enough to carry to victory.

Bane's lightning is too much for them.

Like it was for Hetton?

BTW From what I gather, you believe Malak is superior to Bane.
