Which form is your favourite? Which one would you prefer to learn? (you can just name 1 form of lightsaber combat)

I would honestly like to learn Soresu, I like the concept behind it. What about you?

I like Soresu and Niman

Form V Shien/Djem So

Form VII, either variant works but I'd prefer Vaapad.
Then Form V
Then Form III
Then Form VI
Then Form II
Then Form IV
Then Form I

form 5 bc i love the idea of blocking their attack and then quickly retaliating or vice versa and also bc its the best for blocking blaster fire

after that it would either be soresu, makashi, or vaapad

That would be Soresu actually.

Personally I'd like to learn Niman.

Makashi because it's the closest to irl fighting styles

All of the forms are based on real styles, so...

Makashi, elegant and effective.

Vapaad. Master it and you're unbeatable.

i thought soresu was all defense until they mess up then you strike?

if im wrong then what is djem so?

Yeah, Djem So is all about immediate counter-attacks, so you're right.

Following:

1. Ataru (incredible acrobatics involved; a spectacle to watch)
2. Niman (enables an individual to unleash Force powers more often during a confrontation; Jar- Kai is a plus)
3. Joyu (Unpredictability)

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

Makashi is my favourite, Soresu second

Makashi from the Old order.

Fast Style from NJO

Makashi
Juyo
Soresu, Djem So
Shii-Cho, Ataru, Niman

Grievous' hybrid.

Niman or Djem So.

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.

Makashi

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.

Form III: Soresu.

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.

Soresu for days.

Djem So, Jar'Kai and Makashi are my faves.

Juyo/Vaapad.
All the Forms,including Jar'Kai,Dun Moch,Sokan,Tra'kata,Classic Shien w/ reverse grip.
Teras Kasi would be my martial art.

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.
