Ah but it was the way he was defending.. He stood in one position, and kept perfectly balanced. I really dnt see how that could be anything but soresu. Certainly doesnt sound like an Ataru defence(standing in the same spot). And I doubt Ataru's defence without any attacks would be that effective against Makashi.
Well it's possible I guess lol. Never really thought about it tbh, probably check out the passage at some point.
Well lets compare some of his favourite games with some of yours:

I don't know about that Nephthys. It had some nice philosophical depth in parts, some interesting ideas within the confines of the SW Universe, and a very good character in the form of Kreia, but aside from that I though the general structure and direction of the story was pretty underwhelming. It's better than the first, and it's definitely good, but not great. Certainly not in the same league as the likes of Kana: Little Sister, Ever 17: The Out of Infinity, Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Xenogears, Xenosaga, Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story etc..

Well I'm sure you'd find lots of people who share those few games as itnerests. Looking at his list he seems to be mroe of an RPG fan whereas I'm more of a Visual Novel/H Game guy (I actually came across every single one of those games from visual novels/adventure games), though there are certain story driven games outside the Adventure genre that I do like.
And I wouldn't ever put something like Chrono trigger onto my top 30 list... first RPG I ever played and I was not a fan. I only played it because I knew it was a prequel to radical dreamers, but luckily I played Chrono cross otherwise I wouldn't have thought of moving onto the other Square RPGs like Xenogears, FF, Vagrant Story etc.
Well I can agree that Dragon Quest, which is pretty much the JRPG, sucks major balls. Its kind of ironic in a way that the director of one of my favorite Adventure games in Yuji Horii is more famed for his creation of Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger, and I hated both of them, but then really liked Chrono Trigger's two sequels when yuji Hori wasn't even involved in them. Anyways....
Bioware's RPGs are ok though after you play a few good visual novels you see how primitive the choice making really is. Where you have at most a few paths you can go on in games like KotOR in visual novels they generally number in the tens. I have yet to actually complete most of them actually as they end up taking so long.

Since when is probability a subjective process? I'm not going to claim that I applied the most elaborate statistical model to determine its probability, but probability down to its most exact process is very much an objective process. In this instant it's not really required to know that the most likely scenario is that someone who doesn't regularly practise their skills will lack familiarity with them, simply due to how memory works, and the fact that Yoda's not portrayed in a manner that would indicate his memory works in a fundamentally different way (neither are Force Users as a whole or any other member of Yoda's species).
Once again this - "Yoda's proficiency with Ataru on the other hand, no matter how great it may have once been, was almost certainly pretty low by RotS given his limited practise and experience with the weapon" - is speculation and is subjective. It's an opinion (yours) and carries no weight behind it, except in your own mind.
Originally posted by Jinsoku TakaiI don't think you understand what kind of feat Kas'im has going for him. He was a master of all 7 forms. That's FTW! right there. Now I know that some naysayers will point out that Yoda was also a master of all 7 forms, and so was Mace, and Cin Drallig, and a bunches of other throughout Star Wars... but--BUT!... did any of them get killed by Bane?
To say tha Yoda's profeciency has to be "pretty low" is an OPINION - nothing more. It's his OPINION. See? Opinions DO NOT = objectivity, they DO = subjectivity.
I didn't think so.
