Slamuel Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I would like to know what your favorite lightsaber form is (not restricted to those of swtor). If anyone says shi-cho, I will flip and beat them with my ataru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Zone Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) I would like to know what your favorite lightsaber form is (not restricted to those of swtor). If anyone says shi-cho, I will flip and beat them with my ataru. If the game actually faithfully represented the forms in graphics for combat gameplay, I think it would be a LOT better. Personally, my favorites are both styles of Shien (which DESPERATELY needs to be Represented in the game) and the Dark Charge for Assassins.

Captain_Zone Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Shien is in the game.. not sure what you mean. Not the actual fighting style. All fighting Forms in the game use the exact same animations, only changing based on class. Knight Shien is of course different than Warrior Shien. Just the fighting graphics animations. Seriously, when a Sith is in Shien form, the Saber needs to be reversed and behind the back. Force Unleashed is the perfect example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowedwolf Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Tràkata The ability to turn one's lightsaber on and off in combat would be quite useful, paticuarly to those who duel wield or use a duel-bladed lightsabre, as the disappearing/reappearing blade could throw an opponent off...

Force Unleashed is the perfect example. That's not actually a full part of the Shien Form, just a. . . subset, if you will. Form V includes both Shien and Djem So (my personal favorite.) Both are offensive forms, but Shien grows out of the blaster defense basics of Shii-Cho and the improved defenses of Soresu to turn blocking a blaster bolt into an offensive action by redirecting it at its target. Djem So focuses on raw physical power. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Djem_So Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionamaster Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Juyo, probably. It's the form I use in game (damage boost for the win) and it's great in lore too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High offensive capability but extremely difficult to master. It's the most artistic of the Sith forms, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many lightsaber duels, turning the lightsaber off when the opponent guards and switching it back on when the lightsaber is pointed at their body would be both surprising and effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkCelestial Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The Niman form is my favorite. I always loved the idea of using force techniques in lightsaber combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varangian Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I've always been partial to Makashi. A form devoted entirely to lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat seems somewhat useful to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
