I realize Soresu is the defensive form, but it was originally made for blaster fire. Not disputing the fact that it is very good at the defending, but I am considering it may not work against the Form 7 because it is very special and unpredicated in ways unseen.
If you are asking about countering and not just defending, then perhaps there would be a different answer.
best counter would be Makashi....Makashi in general is a lot less of an emotional martial art. Even Form 1 can call for great emotions when fighting. But Makashi is the most tactical mind setted off the martial arts. Vaapad shouldn't be getting a boost from you and the frenzy of Juyo can be met with a calculating eye and a skilled blade. Makashi could deflect and parry the attacks of Juyo, feeding frustration into an enemy that is already calling on strong negative emotions, encouraging the enemy to give into those strong emotions and make a mistake
Yes well this is assuming two people of equel skill with said forms fighting each other. Different forms can counter each other. Example Form 5 can be difficult for Form 2, Form 2 generally will out spar a Form 1. form 3 allows Form 4 to burn themselves out.
Assuming equel skill with each Form, what is the best form to counter said form with
agreed,imo it would be another practitioner or master of the same form.
In the spirit of competition it would go to the better fighter,whom is not as equally skilled but highly skilled.
A duelist who truly understands his craft as well as Force abilities.
And if both opponents are equally skilled then imo
the winner is decided by who truly knows the ins and outs of the style
as well as which one can adapt to break the stalemate.
It is said if you frustrate the two.
isn't frustration an emotion?
An emotion that both can feed off?
both forms feed off the thrill of battle.
whether the emotion is positive or negative.
If there is no emotional boost from the opponent,then the practitioner or master feeds off himself. or another source.
Both are very unpredictable and Force heavy.
Juyo and Vaapad has broken through Soresu's defenses.
Meaning a Soresu practitioner/master is only delaying the inevitable.
They might survive the battle but winning it,imo I don't think so...
