That's both of them actually from what I've observed. Not sure.

Nope. Soresu is just defense.

I highly doubt Soresu lacks any offensive strikes. That's dumb.

No one's fault but Zannah's for picking a shit style.

Why exactly would it be dumb? Jedi know multiple styles for a reason.

Focus on tight defense, protection of any potential openings, the style created around the capability of swift switching to defense in any position doesn't mean you don't attack at all, kek.

Just your options are very minimal, because you are very limited in options within offense movements. Any movements within purely defensive fighting style have to be handled in a manner that doesn't leave any larger opening, doesn't affect any balance, etc. Your offensive is immensely limited but you aren't just parrying, blocking, and countering the largest openings.

The basic swordfighting logic in any kind of weapon.

Yeah, kinda like how it would be stupid if Ataru had literally no defense. You'd die the second your opponent could mount an offense if you wield Ataru if that's the case.

You didn't actually answer the question, you know. The novel for RotS even makes Obi-Wan's maiming of Vader another parry. So were was it said Soresu has offensive capabilities, instead of Jedi borrowing from another style to attack?

Djem So easily. It's fun to learn through TPLA. I also Shii-Cho's fun to mess around with and I also really like Niiman.

All the Forms,including Jar'Kai,Dun Moch,Sokan,Tra'kata,Classic Shien w/ reverse grip.

Dun Moch is most certainly not a lightsaber form.

I know it's kinda one of my many attacks against Force users and Niman practitioners.
Sokan and Tra'kata are n't either their tactics,methods a means to strengthen your advantage.
