Setting: Geonosis arena.

No amp/prep time.

* Bane as of DoE.
* Bane gets full power and health restored after each battle.

THIS IS SABERS ONLY GAUNTLET.


1. 3 MagnaGuards from GG's personal guard
2. Grievous
3. Qui-Gon
4. Kolar
5. Fisto
6. SoD Maul
7. RotS Kenobi
8. DD Vos

2 is arguable, definitely stops at 6.

2 and loses all afterwards, Qui Gon can go either way

Clear.

Some question if he can clear 2. If it's not a problem, may I ask do you have any specific reasons that DoE Bane can beat Grievous in a sabers only fight?

Stops at 2.

Clears pretty easily. Simply far too big a power disparity.

It's sabers only fights.

I know. His strength, speed, reflexes etc will simply be far too great for any of them to handle, based on how powerful we know him to be. Specifically, he has the best feats of speed we've ever seen and this is for a character who's main attribute was his strength. On top of this, he was a prodigy among prodigies when he was younger and is now a seasoned duelist, so it's not like he's an unskilled duelist either. But primarily, the difference in power is the determining factor. Nobody in the gauntlet is even close to being top tier.

More skilled than his opposition?

Is Bane?

Apple, don't bother with Stigma. He trolls Bane supporters constantly and rates him very low.

Apple won't be around long enough to bother with Stigma regardless. http://r35.imgfast.net/users/3513/11/32/39/smiles/841309534.gif

Appletonia said POD Bane was on par with Sidious, and that isn't trolling lol? And no Bane isn't as skilled as any of the duelists on here barring maybe Jinn. His force enhancement won't make a difference

Neph said POD Bane was a master of multiple lightsaber forms. They outdo one another.

PoD Bane is at least a master of Djem So, and at least skilled in others; it's not an unreasonable assertion really.

On the other hand, suggesting PoD Bane can in any sense contend with Palpatine is pretty absurd.

Bane was basically the most powerful Force User in the galaxy by a significant margin by the end of POD and has feats that are at the very least comparable to those of ROTS Sidious, namely destroying the Rakatan temple and channeling the BOD's joint ritual at Ruusan. Why is it so absurd?

It really is, though.

Being perhaps a master of one form <<<<<<<<<<<< being a master of multiple forms.


But yeah, the latter assertion is much more....out there.

Thanks. Bane's at least a master in Soresu as well given his tutelage of Zannah and his defense being highly praised as "impenetrable" and such. There's also good reason to believe he's skilled or a master in the other forms given various points about his training and how he could perfectly counter every time Kas'im changed tactic.

Drops at 2. Pretty sure Grievous is still a master of all Jedi disciplines per nu!canon. Bane could beat him with the Force, but without it, Grievous takes it with moderate difficulty.

Agreed.

Confirmed master of multiple forms > supposed master of multiple forms.

Threats of the Galaxy, published in 2008, lists him as talented in Juyo

Coupled with the Fightsaber quote, Bane's a "high level master" of "multiple forms" or some shit

As of PoD? Becasue it was Neph's assertion.

Hell if I know

Not sure if he could have picked it up from Nadd's holocron or not

^on my phone so that's all I can link you to

IIRC though, this is probably RoT Bane

Ok. Thanks Chaos! I can buy Bane learning more as the time passes through RoT to DoE

He at least has Djem So and Soresu well under his belt as of POD

Didn't he use Juyo in his duel with Zannah?

Originally posted by Emperordmb

Regardless, Kas'im was a master of all forms to the highest degree and Bane was still skilled enough to perfectly counter all of that. He's already demonstrated that knowing a ton of forms isn't something threatening to him.

^ Obviously.

I'm just curious if that claim is true or not.

I think it's been firmly established that it isn't the absurd suggestion you portrayed it as.

It is still unsubstantiated, though. And as such can be treated as either possible or far fetched. I'd happily concede if it is proven

I never claimed it was 100% fact. I made a claim and argued for it to be reasonably true. The claim has been substantiated in those terms, not just here but in previous threads.

mmm

Nah.
