Saberfighting forms... aren't some useless?

Man, i'm glad I posted this thread. This is good stuff here, keep it coming for the less knowledgable like me on saber forms. Cool stuff 🙂

If you guys were Jedi's what form would you prefer...

O and what form does sidious... some secret sith form or something,... form VII... form V.... I don't know I can't tell... Maybe mix...

I would use* form Juyo... because it is badass I'd love to kill alot of force wielding, Jedi like oppenents, Sith or Jedi!!!

Sidious uses Form VI, also called Niman. This combines Forms 1, 3, 4 and 5, using each one in overall moderation.

This Form was created to give the Jedi a style that would be sufficient for most combat situations, but would give them more room to train in negotiations. It is therefore ideal for Sidious who is a politician.

Form VI is often considered to be less effective than other Forms. The fact that Sidious uses it to such devastating effect shows his power and skill.

But it also keeps him from being as deadly and scary as previous Sith lords, Niman does. Such a limited "Jack of all trades' form makes him less of a warrior than does the Form II mastery of Dooku or worse yet, the blended multiple forms of earlier Golden Era Sith.

Using Form 6 just points at being a diplomat. It might be hard to master, but it's not going to give you real respect if you face someone who masters one of the more powerful forms, like Form 2 or Form 7.

I see your point, but as I say, it's the ideal Form for Sidious, considering how much time he has to spend in negotiations. He is in charge of both Republic and Separatists, so he is clearly very busy.

Besides, it just shows how lethal he is that he is able to use 'the weak Form' to cut down Master Jedi like wheat.

For form VI:
All Jedi using that form on Geonosis DIED in the conflict. Actualy that form is nothing I would use in a real battle.

For Sidious: It's only an assumption that he used that form. It won't fit his character and actually his moves in ROTS doesn't seem very much like form VI (watch the Jedi on Geonosis moving and compare that to Sidious).

I'd say he would more likely use form V (aggressive movements, wide swings) or VII (Darth Maul used that one). As Sidious did show Maul how to fight he would probably be a form VII (Juyo) user. That also fits his characters and movements more than form VI.
Still that is also an assumption.

A reasonable assumption. He strikes me as a Ataru/Juyo user really, to me. I tend to agree. But his horribly telegraphed, super obvious thrusts that killed two jedi masters should be filed under Form Sucky Choreography, subfiled under Nick Gillard Needs Better Choreography.

They will be better if there where different animations for them
