You typically need to train to master a form. 😬
Kas'im seems to have basically redesigned the forms using his own moves and sequences. He did this for every form and seeming every style. That's an example of a massive understanding of the forms and a bewildering technical and creative aptitude in them.

Everyone can modify forms. Canon Anakin just casually mentions that he modifies form IV to deal with droids in one random hologram call, kek. Kas'im just does that seven times - it's a matter of taking the time to do it. So what are you trying to do? Signal his technical skill? Null, as explained. Suggest he'd have unfamiliar moves for Plo? Works both ways. Nothing to show here.

I already responded to this point. Try again, my child.
Also it's not as if a comparison to Anakin is unwelcome in this case. 😉

Plo benefits from 1,000 years of modification and improvement to lightsaber combat. Kas'im can't handle the level of baffling bewilderment that will cause. 🙂
A thousand years of stagnation and of the Jedi mostly neglecting to even bother with saber to saber combat with no foes to fight, sure.
Originally posted by NephthysLol you're not getting the point. After 1,000 years Djem So as a form would have been significantly improved, and Plo would have inherented those improvements by learning and perfecting the modern style. Because you know, people actually record this shit. 👆
Plo wasn't around for those 1000 years though. His enthusiasm isn't reflective of the Orders history. Nor, do I think, is it said that he improved upon existing techniques in any regard.

Seriously, this is like putting the best boxer from the 19th century against a modern contender.
SW is notable for its lack of progression between era's. Or, often, outright regression.

This isn't reflected anywhere and is pure supposition. My argument is just as valid.
It's reflected by the fact that improvements were made to forms during the PT era itself, an era that possessed a concentrated abundance of many of the greatest duelists in mythos, and that its entirely illogical to think various Jedi Masters would not have themselves made improvements over a thousand year period. 😂
Your argument is made on baseless assertions, there is no evidence that the pre-Ruusan Jedi didn't bother with lightsaber combat, only Makashi became obsolete.
