Most important factor in Speedblitz ?

''I have never seen such skill, such speed.''

Which is more important ? Skill or Speed ?

The most important factor is power. Unlimited power, in fact. 😛

---Skill %60
---Speed %40

Imho.

Hmmmm, which is more important for a SPEEDblitz? Skill or speed? Thats a toughy.

Any idiot can strike quickly, you also have to be unpredictable, fluid and remain in control of your erratic limbs.

50/50 for me.

That's not how Force Speed works though. 😬

Who cares about speed or strength when power gives both?

It just depends. If you're roughly as skilled as someone but are monumentally faster than them, you're liable to blitz them. If you're fast as hell but can't fight for shit, then you might not be able speedblitz a superior fighter in spite of their inferior speed.

"Speedblitz" by definition is a speed based blitz, or a blitz based primarily on speed. As such, speed is definitely the more important factor in a "speedblitz." Without speed, it cannot be a "speedblitz"

Speed.

It doesn't matter how few openings you leave in your guard if the other guy is ten times faster than you.

Furthermore, a lot of what "skill" boils down to IRL is reaction-time and developed fast-twitch muscle fibers.

Though Aurbere is probably right. Most of what has been said in the thread in SW is granted by greater power in the Force. Sidious is so fast and strong because his power over the Dark Side is so great.

SW mythos speedblitz is different than Flash or other kind of comic book speedsters like speedblitz. We are calling it speedblitz because we used to that term from other comics or events.

For example, Flash only needs super speed to speedblitz someone, but clearly in SW, you need to be skilled in lightsaber styles as well.

We're calling it speedbltizing because they use speed. 😬
If they aren't fast enough to keep up with you, Drallig, your skill means shit, Drallig.

You need to overcome the opponent's precognition and speed. Skill in hiding your intentions is fairly required, if the enemy sees it coming even high speed can often be defended against, but speed is the primary factor.

Indeed. Sometimes you see someone call a 'speedblitz' when the other side is actually able to respond and react, they just aren't good enough to defense. And that's not a speedblitz, that's just being a better fighter.

No but in order for the Force Speed to allow a blitz, you need to at least be skilled in the form. Hence both Being a factor

Skill has nothing to do with it. If it is a speed blitz then it doesn't matter how skilled you are, your skill isn't going to stop you from dieing in the first second of the contest.

But if the two are fighting at hypersonic speeds and one dies, that no longer counts as a speed blitz.

What I am trying to say is that if skill starts becoming a major factor then it no longer counts as a speed blitz.

But The Son is so far beyond Fisto that its like a flee fighting the predator speed blitz wouldn't matter at that point

My point completely stands though. 😐 And speed is dictated by power anyway.
