Favorite Lightsaber Combat

Started by chilled monkey3 pages

Personally I think they are ALL good. In any action-filled movie, you need each fight to be different to keep it interesting.

My favourite is Niman. People seem to think of it as the weakest Form, but really it depends on the individual. Someone very good at Niman could defeat a practioner of a different Form if they were not as skilled.

Darht Janus is quite right about comparing Yoda and Qui-Gonn. Two people who have mastered the same style will not fight exactly the same way.

Shien / Djem So

In war or in battle, its as simple as "Kill or get killed" especially against Sith or pirates, or even mercenaries

Why not Ataru:
- Because its to OPEN, you run, flip, jump, bounce, then suddenly get stabbed, its cool and all, but its just not a solid enough form....

Why not ShiiCho:
- Do you guys need a reason

Why not Soresu:
- It dangerously prolonges combat, and remember.... you CAN get tired FASTER than your opponent....

Why not Niman:
- Niman is like "middle" form, life and combat is like a broad road..... You can either choose the left lane, or the right lane.... You stay in the middle... You get CRUSHED

Why not Juyo/Vaapad:
- Vaapad is described as needing superior focus and intensity, on such extreme mind concentration, you may forget your main purpose, you just go deeper and deeper in you battle frenzy........ So if your on a mission to set off a bomb, you'll probably be still slicing droid corpses, while the timer and the bomb shows 00:00:01.... Kabbooomm!!! 😂

Why not Makashi:
This was my second vote, I just don't like it cuz you can't use it when surrounded by a billion of StormTroopers with fully loaded Zersium Rifles...

So there it is......... Shien/Djem So...... (I like the Djem So better though)

Long live Form V

Personally I like Form VII. It treads closely to the dark side. And you mainly use your anger in your attacks.

Soresu, even though the defensive style didn't work against Makashi in EP.2 and EP.3

by ep2, Obi-wan hadn't mastered Soresu yet. He was starting to mix it in with Ataru though. He would have done much better in ep2 if he had mastered it. Also, in ep3, in the book it says that Obi-wan was purposly appearing weak to get Dooku overconfident so Anakin could kill him.

ImmortalOne: Very good point, but I still say it depends on the individual(s).

Long live Form V

You only explained Vaapad and not Juyo. Why is that?

Why ? Cuz Vaapad somehow OVERWRITES Juyo....
You see Juyo is an incomplete form......
Windu completes it with his own variations and at the same time renaming it "Vaapad"

Many people see Form 3 and 5 as BORING.... cuz it just keeps attacking with fast and powerful sweeps and slashes to the enemy..... Boring doesn't mean weak...... IN the other show-off(ataru) could be dangerous !!!

I would have to say Soresu.

uhhhh... Why ?

I'd pick vaapad and makashi. Maby a mix of both?

Obi won is the real hero of all time. He beats Anakin/Vader in his prime, beats Maul alone, beats Greivous... The only one he cant seem to handle is Dooku. But I suspect that is only due to writing needs of storyline.

Dumb Question: Which form is Palpy?, Does he have a form?

Sidious used a Sith variant of Ataro which included long sweeps and stabs

Most likely Shien/Djem So coupled with Niman (Version X not VI). That way you'd have all the benefits of Shien/Djem So with two lightsabers 👆
