ok i know there is going to be alot of confusion about orbalisks and whatnot.
Bane Without orbalisk:
1.Force
2.Sabers
3.All out
Bane with orbalisk:
1.Force
2. Sabers
3.All Out
This takes place in the middle of the geonosis arena, so no obstacles/tk objects to be thrown.
The only rules in this thread:
1. Keep it clean, no orbalisks covering various body part jokes.
2. Don't debate with noobaris. You will know him from his incredible Idiotic fanboyism towards bane. Ignore him and maybe he will go away.
Force: Bane has already shown himself to be incredably capable with the force at this time. Some of his feats involve: Showing mastery of Sith lightning after 1 hour at a degree of Darth Sidious (debatable, Destroying the roof of the Lehon temple (much better than what Dooku did in AotC) despite exhaustion from battle and 3 days without food, killing the Master of the best Sith school like he was a bug, overcoming a powerful poison, Beating Kaan's mindpower's, Force pushing hard enough to vaperise bones, surviving the Thought bomb ( through unknown means and of course his planet killing thing.
Mace on the overhand has been able to force crush a non-forcesensitive Grevious's chest and has shown some skill with TK, which isn't that great in combat.
Bane definately wins.
Sabers: Although Bane is very skilled in combat, Mace has the upper hand through his use of Shatterpoint and Vaapad against which Bane has no defence of previous knowledge of.
All-out: Could go either way depending on what happens.
Force: Bane has all of the above feats plus an extra 10 years of training, has gained the ability to influence things on a sub-atomic level and has the added boost of the orbalisks. He wins easily.
Saber: With the additional effects of the orbalisks and the extra 10 years, I would put Bane at the very least on the level of RotS Sidious. Mave's Vaapad might spell trouble for Bane but I think not. The way that Vaapad works is that it feeds off the darkside power of Mace and his opponant and creates a super-conductive loop against the enemy, using the darkside against him/her. However, Bane's orbalisks feed off darkside energy thus it is highly possble that Vaapad might well work in Bane's favour instead of against him. And also Mace might not have enough time to find Banes shatterpoint as he had trouble finding Sidious' and Bane doesn't have the distraction of Anakin to create one (which was Sidious' SP in the book). Thus I find it highly probable that Bane can win.
Shatterpoint wouldn't be necessary for Mace to deduce what Bane's weak-spot is (his face), but that doesn't mean there's anything he can do about it. Without the orbalisks - and assuming we're talking about PoD or post-RoT Bane - Mace wins a ridiculous lightsaber duel, gets pwned in the Force battle, and maybe takes an all-out. With the orbalisks - the RoT version - Bane wins every one.
lol, good job! am i the only one that hates orbalisks? i mean, who can we actually put against bane in those things? right after the next one comes out, he'll become a more realistic combatant me thinks.

Wait... Bane wouldn't be able to possibly take out Bane's orbalisks themselves with his shatterpoint, similar to tapping a diamond in the right spot and shattering it?
Yes, I think so. Remember in Rule of Two, when the Orbalisks attack him for the first time, he was impressed as he slashed the Orbalisks with his lightsaber, because they didn't even get a scratch.
FER TEA!!
