Your comparison was invalid. Shaak Ti didn't move faster than the Magnaguards ability to percieve her like Bane did with the Sith, unless you want to seriously suggest she was moving faster than lightspeed at which point I'll just post as many laughing gifs as I can fit in a post.

You lack a fundamental understanding of physics if you think the Magnaguards actually perceive, compute and react to events at Lightspeed. Hyperbole is Hyperbole, but it's there to prove that Magnaguards have rapid reaction times. Reaction times that eclipse that of standard Acolytes.
Not to mention we've seen her matching the speed of 3 magnaguards attacking her at once, it stands to reason if she focused her attentions on one, it would get blitzed.

Possibly, even probably.
Also Sel, Bane very much had gotten a lot faster. When the fight started, Kas'im rushed forward and was extremely surprised that Bane actually managed to react to him, indicating that he was expecting to blitz Bane off the bat. Meaning that even though Kas'im had witnessed Bane's takedown of Sirak, he still thought he could easily blitz Bane. That he did not, that Bane did in fact have the upper hand in ability, indicates Bane's massive growth between those two points.

O'Neal is like ten inches taller than Bane. And more handsome too.Regardless, Bane looks like a puffed failed strongman with a potato instead of a face.
On the other hand, Marek's physique makes Juno wet.
1. Bane was approximately 2 metres tall.
2. Dessel resembled a young Channing Tatum before the dark side ravaged his delicate features. Galen Marek would have been ugly too if he had been a bit more powerful.
BTW I do consider the Lightspeed statements as outliers from the ROTS novel. Every other source states Jedi/Sith use precog to let them know beforehand when an enemy is going to fire at them, rather than reacting and outspeeding the projectile itself. They just move faster than their enemies quickdraw.
But that's besides the point, I think Kas'im can win tbh however he does have the problem of being on a Nexus and using it.

Because it's impossible for matter to move that fast, especially outside of the vacuum of space, and we've never seen them move that fast? If a a magnaguard even got close to lightspeed movements, it would also get pretty close to timetravel.
Tell that to the rest of fiction
I mean, this is a fine way to think on a purely star wars focused board, but the sheer volume of fiction that doesn't give a shit is staggering and kind of laughs at this mentality otherwise
