Orbalisk Bane/Darth Baras vs. Yoda/Anakin Skywalker ROTS

Battle takes place on neutral ground

*No amp for Baras

lol

Who takes this

Bane solos. 😮‍💨

Bane gets ragdolled casually, Baras gets stomped immediately after.

Team Yoda wins

Yoda>Bane
Anakin>Baras

Team two.

Baras's out if his league. Team 2 wins

Baras wasn't out of his league against the Wrath, he's not out of his league against Anakin.

Baras trained the Wrath, so no, that logic doesn't really work. Baras didn't train Anakin.

I don't really see how that matters tbh. We have no clue how involved Baras was with the Wraths training anyway.

Baras doesn't have the Sel-Makor amp he had against the Wrath, and Anakin is above the Wrath in all the relevant aspects, anyway. Baras is out of his depth against Anakin.

Yoda creams this unrefined version of Bane, too. Team 2, handily.

Yoda is better than all versions of Bane.

Seriously? You don't know how involved someone's master is in their training? Training that is confirmed stunted in game? Oookay.

I know. I'm saying this version of Bane lacks refinery and is therefore a particularly easy target for Yoda to take down. He's fast enough, precise enough and skilled enough to land a hit on one of the exposed areas.

Yoda solos.

Pfft, I didn't see that carthage had nerfed Baras. What a tool. Sure, whatever. Though Anakin isn't above the Wrath.

No he doesn't. Yoda would have serious trouble against orbalisk Bane. The only part he can damage is his head which is nearly 7 feet off the ground. Yoda's size is a serious hindrance in this case. And Bane is only unrefined by choice, he still has all the skills he learned from Kas'im, still has that "impenetrable defense" and he just chose to utilise brutish efficiency instead of pointlessly technical moves.

The Sith Empire (And TOR in general) is more informal than that, there's other instructors and stuff. The Sith masters seem to have a less of a hands on role in teaching than in other cases. There are barely any chances for Baras to teach you anyway.

His training wasn't stunted, Baras just didn't reveal all his secrets. Which doesn't affect anything because it's not like Anakin will know Baras' secrets either. The Wrath is still as powerful and skilled as he is at any other point. It didn't give Baras an unfair advantage and if it did it ridiculous to think that it was so extreme that he wouldn't even be able to compete on the Wraths level without it.

No, it's not. I'm very sure Yoda can just jump up. And hitting the joints would temporarily disable Bane at the very least.

He's unrefined by impulse. And therein lies the problem. He has no reason to suspect Yoda would be capable of damaging him - his natural impulse is to charge at his opponents brutishly, and Yoda would be dancing around him and going for his neck.

And as solid as Bane's defense is, he's outclassed by Yoda as a swordsman, and Yoda is also faster.

Despite Bane's style being relatively unrefined, he does know to defend his weak points, and at least on that first initial charge, Yoda won't know about his orbalisk armor.

Yes, it is. Of course he can jump, but it's cumbersome and restricting. He needs to keep jumping at the same thing over and over again. It's a serious disadvantage.

He charged the Jedi Strike Team because he was really pissed off and not thinking clearly. He isn't an impulsive duelist, he's actually pretty clever. Cleverer than Yoda, arguably. He didn't charge the Sith Assassins, so its actually not his natural impulse to do so.

Bane has the orbalisks, which make up for any deficiency in his saber skills and he's as fast as Yoda is. But even if he isn't he's still got the advantage with his nigh impenetrable defenses and incredibly offense. Also I actually kind of doubt saber skill would play a big factor in the duel, Bane has no reason to fence Yoda and all Yoda can do is go for jumping attacks which don't allow for much refinement in technique.

Well, as great as your opinion is, to you anyway, that's not exactly how it's presented in game. Take Nox for example, Zash somehow seems to know all of Nox's weaknesses, according to super Ghost nth Great Grandad Kallig, but she's so super informal that she probably has next to nothing to do with Nox's training. I don't care how informal anything is, masters still train their apprentices. They still teach them how to fight, know them more than anyone else probably will, and still understand their techniques on the most base level. Regardless of your opinion, Baras had his eyes on the Wrath at all times, and knew him inside and out. You can deny this all you want, but that's how it's presented in game. And when you hold back on training, you're stunting. Not knowing all you can from your master is not the Sith way. And these were all apparently combat applicable given Draahg. TOR isn't the mystical land where you somehow don't need a master because you went through the ten, at best, year process of learning the basics and fight in battles.
