![The Star Wars Philosopher's Guide to Every Single Lightsaber Technique [Form I - Form VII]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2MIpVjbVl5M/mqdefault.jpg)
The thing is about star wars lightsaber duels, it's not about how many lightsaber forms you've mastered, it's how advanced you are in lightsaber combat, for example, Anakin dueling Cin Drallig with one hand, even though Cin is the battlemaster of the jedi order.
Cin Draglin was one of the few Star Wars characters to master the 7 forms of lightsaber combat.
Or how Obi-Wan as able to beat grievous with the most pacifist (arguably because of form 6 Niman) lighsaber form 3 soresu.
@@baki484 i heard that the reason obi wan was able to defeat grievous with form 3 was because it was purely defensive, it rendered grievous tactics useless. Grievous with his computer assisted brain could instantly recognise, replicate and counter his opponents style, witch meant that after only a few exchanges, he knew every manoeuvre you could possibly attempt, and how to counter it, since he has all lightsaber forms memorised. But when faced with an opponent who only defends, and waits for you to attack, all this goes out of the window, and you have to take the initiative, which is hard when you’re not force sensitive
You are right! You can master all forms but some are just better dualists than you so mastering all doesn’t necessarily mean you are the best!
What you said remind me of what Bruce Lee said, "I fear not the man who mastered 10,000 kicks once. But I fear the man who mastered 1 kick 10,000 times".
Lightsaber forms is one of my favorite concepts in star wars. the lightsaber form you choose depends on your style of combat, if you like to stay on the defensive, you would choose form 3, if you mastered all 7 forms, it doesn't mean you're undefeatable, there's someone who only learns a single form but is more of an advanced duelist than the person who mastered all 7 forms, thus making him being able to beat the more knowledgeable person. It reminds of Bruce Lee's quote even though it's different "i'm not afraid of someone who praticed a thousand kicks at once, i'm afraid of someone who has practiced one kick a thousand times"
Form 3 is more defensive
Uhhh No, Form 3 is the most defensive one.
@@yrooxrksvi7142 oh yeah, my bad
@@childishisnotachild7277 Don't worry
Well said
As a child, I found it so cool how Kit Fisto was able to beat Greivous. When I learned that his mastery of form 1 is what really allowed him to pull out that win, it made respect him even more.
Yeah, I thought that was really cool, especially because Kit Fisto is one of my favorite side characters. I thought that was really cool that Kit was basically able to adapt Form I’s effectiveness against multiple enemies to negate Grievous’s multi-arm attack
Doesn’t matter, all you need is the High Ground.
Worked really well for Maul
And a small advantage
@@kzgames3023 that's where Obi-Wan learned it
😂 I love you
I beat high ground with nuclear bombardment
This made me realize how much we need a SW game of which the combat is solely based on lightsaber fights and the 7 forms
The closest to that would be Jedi Outcast and Academy, though it only has the 3 Rings of Defense : Strong Style, Medium Style, Fast Style.
Ohhhh that would be awesome!
Literally just need a Star Wars for honor not made by Ubisoft
Facts
It's been a while since I played it but KotOR 2 has different lightsaber forms that gave different stats depending on what was in use. I don't know if it changed the fighting animations.
Form VII Vaapad, specialized in using the darkness in your opponent
Then just use Dun Moch a fuckload
I think we'd all know at least one guy who'd favor form 8: "Bravely run away!" Where the user turns around and bails the moment that they realise they're going to have to fight another force wielder.
Form 3 in a nutshell
0:20 Expectations: Epic Duel between Kenobi and Maul one last time.
Reality: Kenobi is out of shape and decided to end Maul quickly right now.
Do you think long-lived species like the Pau'an have the advantage of being a sith knowing they have more time to seek immortality?
It seems the pau'ans care more about plastic surgery to make their heads look fatter and lamer
Looks like someone got their hands on a copy of The Jedi Path.
While in a fantasy universe, the mechanics of lightsaber combat are (mostly) based on real-world sword techniques and other than being a little extra flashy the basics of lightsaber combat are still the essential basics that would be taught to anyone learning longsword, rapier, or zweihander today.
Without regard to edge alignment. That significantly changes the structure of the movements. It simplifies them, allowing for faster movements using less effort.
Double blade lightsaber were a rare weapon within both the Jedi and Sith Order, but there is no doubt that this lightsaber technique was absolutely destructive against any opponent because not many would know what this unique technique will entail.
Unfortunately it required full body movement from the user also just as to the user as it was to the opponent requiring attention of both blades as you also risk cutting your self.
If you know where one blade is you know exactly where the other is. It's only risky if you lose sight of that simple fact. The reality is it requires broad sweeping motions and lacks the ability for subtle maneuvering that even a staff can offer as the secondary blade makes some of the spear-like moves that you can do with a staff too risky.
It’s also more limited than other forms, and not as good against experienced opponents who know how to deal with it.
For an experienced being with a double blade lightsaber like Maul. It can be devastating to your opponents who may not be too familiar with how to defend it. But for beginner, a double bladed lightsaber could end badly for yourself!
@@baki484 It's not as difficult as many would make it out to be.
Dun Möch. Break your opponent by talking in combat, or redeem them back to the Light.
I believe that Shien (apologies if I am misspelling it) is the form that would fit me best. When I do actually fight, I can get aggressive. However, I like to focus on taking out my opponent as quickly as possible, while keeping myself as safe as possible.
Same (though I prefer the djem variant of from 5)
I feel like the telekinetic form of lightsaber combat would be highly effective with double bladed lightsabers. You could essentially form a wall of defense around yourself by spinning them around(similar to how Grievous approaches his opponents), but once you close in, do a pincer attack from their flanks taking them off guard.
Easier said than done tho. There's a reason why telekinetic moves are only used in short, sharp bursts, if at all, in ANY combat that involves wielding a weapon. Maintaining telekinetic connection with objects in the heat of combat is incredibly taxing on the mind after all.
Dooku wouldn't respect this, but I would like to train in Makashi as a duelist, but also in Soresu so I'd still be able to deflect blaster bolts effectively. I feel like the two variants for Form 5 are the best offensive, but I don't have that kind of natural strength and stamina, so I'd look for forms that allow me to hold out until my opponent slips up.
No averagely built human would have that kinda strength & stamina needed to do form 5. That's where Force-enhanced strength comes into play. But then again, doing so is incredibly taxing on one's focus, which means you'd tire out just as easily as you would with natural strength.
I don't think Makashi and Soresu blend that well, because you have to switch from onehanded attacks to two handed defence if you're using Soresu at it's best in a flo state it make be hard to switch to the more technical Makashi unless you're just using both in a more technical sense.
Due as you please of course all styles have s weakness.
Soresu works best with forms 1, 5 and 6, it can work with any.
But ataru is too wide and sweeping Kenobi fixed that with form 1 to bridge the gap, I highly doubt anyone could fully master the philosophy of forms 3 and 7 because they're total opposites.
Anyway Adi Gallia is an example of someone who wasn't strong but used both variants of form 5, I think she made up for it with aggression.
In the old eu she died because general grievous used him extra limbs to kill her.
In the new Disney canon she was using a strong style against someone so much stronger than her.
I think form 5 goes better with form 2 and 4
@@FalconWindblader cyborg for the win
I know I would probably see what would work best with something like a light pike. (A personal favorite) probably something similar to a style that Maul would use.
Regarding Trakata, Jedi and sith are using the force to predict their opponents moves. That’s why trained Jedi (those in the prequels) are able to move so fast, it’s not so much an actual lightsaber fight as it is a battle of wills and a "chess match" with moves and counter moves. So switching the blade off then back on wouldn’t be that effective as you now leave yourself open to attack while your opponent will sense it coming and react.
I would definitely be a Form V user, both Shien and Djem So depending on the circumstance. I am stronger than I am dexterous, so the more speedy and agile forms wouldn’t really fit me. And I probably would lack the patience of the more defensive forms, so something like Form V would play to my strengths
Good choice you'll be able to fight multiple opponents and combat blasters with shien and djem so for one on one(but what will you do to combat the lack of mobility accompanying djem so?)
I'd personally go with form 6 then supplement it or Segway into forms that compensate for my weaknesses.
@@baki484 My thought would probably be do some practice in Form III to give myself some extra defensive techniques and/or supplement with some Form I strikes, using the wide sweeping strikes from it to cover a wider range to give myself some breathing room and reposition
Good choice, I wonder what I would be…
Just keep in mind of just how incredibly taxing form 5 could be tho. As with form 4, form 5 requires heavy focus on channeling the Force to use effectively after all.
I'd combine form 5 with form 2 and form 4 (despite form 5 being my dominant form)
Would have to go with a combination of Atura i.e. Form IV for fighting single oppenents along with augmenting yourself with the Force and Shien/Djem Sho i.e. Form V against multiple/blaster weilding opponents, would also use a Split Saber (staff saber that can "split" into two single blades) for both staff and dual blade Jarkai
I find it quite interesting that I don't remember an instance when General Grevious lost a duel despite the fact he was no jedai, sith, or force sensitive at all.
That's kinda horrifying when we think about it 😂
He lost to Kit Fisto in clone wars, but yeah there aren't many examples
@@jBread28 oh I see thanks for the correction
It may be a bit more ambiguous than his fight with Kit Fisto, but I also think that Grievous lost to Ventress in their duel on Dathomir. However, I would recommend watching it for yourself
The form I'd use would be a one of a kind style: (Note this form works best if you have 4 arms)
Using 4 double bladed lightsabers a verity of tricks would be used.
All blades held close in a defensive manner would called: *Cover*
3 of 4 staffs held close with one arm reaching out would be called: *peak*
2 of 4 staffs held close with 2 reaching out for attack is called *balance*
3 of 4 held out with only 1 back for defense would be call *pounce*
4 of 4 held out with no defense and taps into the dark side would be called *Blitz*
With two blades half turned off and one in the right hand up top and one below in the left would be called *Pincer*
The main strategy would be to switch and adapt in the middle of the fight to trip up opponents but the forms are mainly situational.
If I was a Jedi, I would follow Master Kenobi and learn Form III. I’m not a very aggressive person who would much rather protect my loved ones instead of pursuing my enemies, so this would be perfect for my Jedi abilities.
I've taught some of the sword fighting sport I do with at least 6/7 forms in mind- it is really hard to explain Niman without just going "You take everything you've learned and just use stuff when you need it" feeling less like a dedicated form and more like just general fighting. I personally take something of a Juyo approach of high risk but frequent attacks which can overwhelm a defense but is often very susceptible to someone who can keep their focus and footwork and just place a precise shot when I'm mid swing and cannot redirect to defend quickly enough. As a hand to hand fighter for actual self defense, I would say my 'style' is closer to djem so as I have the luxury of strength over most people and can afford for them to get in close enough to grapple and remove their mobility. Were I to actually have Force powers and a real lightsaber, I would probably focus on Niman as it isn't very demanding of intense training to do well, but allows for very creative combat solutions by actively using the Force in combat rather than depending on your saber skills.
I would practice a combination of forms six and two while also implementing a jarkai fighting style.
Form V, Variant II (Djem So). Maybe not as acrobatic or mobile like Form IV, but if it means less openings for opponent to strike you off guard then it's fair trade off in my opinion.
i have always found the idea of fighting with a lightsaber via telekinetic abilities fascinating
I never knew much about the particular specifics of Lightsaber combat. 🤺
Another fantastic video as usual! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Exar Kun's combat philosophy is essentially "look at the flick of the wrist"
Excellent video. The Geetsly's team certainly did their research. I have been a fan for around twenty years and you've brought me new knowledge even so. Thank you for your service!
As a Jedi? Well, I’d definitely use a more defensive form like Soresu, disarming my opponents and using it to find or wait for an opening during dueling, and I’d do it as a Jar’Kai practitioner with a dual-bladed Lightsaber. But I’d probably mix Soresu’s defensiveness with another combat form that’s offensive.
Ok so good overall video for the 7 forms but Form 7 Vapaad was developed and created by Mace Windu with the help of Sora Bulq and Mace would later teach the form to his apprentice Depa Bilaba she was not involved with the creation of the form but was one of a few who knew how to use it though only Mace fully mastered the form
It would be interesting to know which style works best against different attacks.
Form 2 weak against form 5 djem so
Form 2 strong against shien form 5 variant the others I'm not so sure form 3 practitioners are only delaying the inevitable due to the sole dedication to defensive combat waiting out the opponent.
@@baki484 What's the best against blasters?
@@JettQuasar I would say form 3 soresu supplemented with shien form 5 for blaster reflection.
So no one is gonna talk about that still from the edited tower of joy scene… excellent still to grab. Keep up the amazing content
Center of being stance, yo-man, flowing water, shicho, vaapad, telekinetic combat.
0:01 Ned Stark and his Northern Bros vs Arthur Dayne and his Two Backup Dancers: Lightsaber Edition
I would go for the reverse grip Ahsoka prefers
That gyroscopic effect that lightsabers have is also what enables them to cut through matter… I think. I’ll need to read up on it again to make sure.
telekenetic lightsaber combat, every since knights of the old rep i have loved that style.
I would personally go for Vaapad as I do not believe in backing down from anything, the dark side of the force included... I believe in conquering, overcome all that is defeating you (no matter the alternative). That being said I would most certainly have been outcast by the order before "mastering" the form, and certainly would not have let that stop me but rather propelled me to conquering whatever weakness in me either myself or the council perceived in that moment while continuing to look for further adversity.
In short, while Luke would say "I am a Jedi..." I would instead say of myself "I am Jedi.". This is my way.
Thanks for showing my picture first M8 😉 i was so young. Lighting in the face ?
Not even once. 🤣
Jar'kai + makash with a splash of juyo if fighting one on one and soresu if overwhelmened by blaster fire would be my go-to choices
Forms 2,4,and 7 using Jar' Ki dual blade fencing i.e one in each hand one purple one and one green one
I'd go with the 7th form saying that I'm not in any danger of falling into the dark side, then show up the next day with a red lightsaber.
Form 7 is by far my favorite but I am still amazed no one ever bothered to make a technique that used a shield!
The Kar Vastor and his Akk Dogs created techniques with their twin shields based off of the stories from Mace Windu when he was a padawan which were shared by the Korunnai in the book Shatterpoint.
Jar'kai, being a broad term for any dual-wielding styles, would naturally incorporate the use of shielding techniques (you can't use both weapons for offense all the time after all). However, it's understandable why no one bothered devising techniques specifically catering to the use of shields in lightsaber combat. Very few materials are lightsaber-resistant after all, & in most cases, it just ain't worth blocking a part of your field of vision with something that'd get punched through in mere seconds after all.
@@FalconWindblader while I could understand for most users those with the force can create walk sticks that can block a lightsaber so even a wooden shield could block a lightsaber if given force hardening.
@@jamestazelaar5540 That's where you're dead wrong. Doing something like that require an understanding & mastery of the Force of such a degree that most Force users wouldn't be able get anywhere near in their lives. If doing so is so easy, lightsabers wouldn't have been so widely adopted & Makashi wouldn't have been developed in the first place.
Jar kai Niman focusing on disarms. I feel that form when practiced right would give you the strengths of the others and enable you to explore the weakness of them too.
I would definitely employ a more aggressive Niman (VI) approach
Lightsaber - a weapon for a more civilized age.
*you missed one, form rae:* just dont ever get trained & be betr already. -JC
I always liked the concept of telekinetic lightsaber combat, but it was a bit hard to wrap one's head around until I saw an animation someone did with a character using this. The lightsaber remained within arm's reach but was not physically held, allowing more mobility and more rapid attacks. It also just looked cool. That cemented it for me.
It's shit impractical tho. Maintaining telekinetic connection is hard enough in the heat of combat as it is. Maintaining a lightsaber THAT close to one's hand would not only need precise telekinetic control to an unreal degree, but also having to resist the urge of grabbing the blade with the hand the whole time. The amount of focus needed to do so is just insane.
The Chimaera and "To defeat and enemy you must know them. Not just their tactics but their history, culture and art"
Trakata for life. It's not enought to defeat your opponent but make them rage so hard they turn to the dark side instantly.
As someone in two separate Light saber fencing schools, I'm impressed by your research. The only term I hadnt heard before was Offensive Neutral. I also feel the different saber varients like the Light Dagger, Guard Shoto and Light whip deserve a video of their own but very well done.
I am currently studying all of the Forms but emphasizing, 4, 5 (Shien specifically) and 6 for a study of Form 7 to understand the difference between Juyo and Vapaad.
I don't think an effective study on form 7 would actually be possible tho. Unlike the 6 forms that came before, where they're all sets of techniques based on different mindsets & varying degrees of applications of Force powers, form 7 is, to my understanding, exclusively a state of mind. Rather than having specific techniques for anything, it's the stage of having mastered any of the previous forms & then forgetting essentially everything (just like how you wouldn't actually need to know the mechanics of breathing & eating in order to do so), letting only Force-channeled, unbridled ferocity guide your blade. Since none of us have Force powers of any kind, i'd say that form 7 is the one form that we have no way to get into intimately.
@@FalconWindblader I disagree, as Form IV, which is heavily reliant of Force enhancement, would be the one that's impossible if any of them are and yet understanding of the Su Ma rotations is possible and practical, as I've used it successfully in bouting, but it requires athleticism and body awareness and isn't for everyone. You are correct, however, in Form VII's advanced nature as it requires a heavily awareness of tempo and emotional intensity, based off of, in my opinion, Form I's emotional heat. The superconducting loop aspect is specific to Vapaad and not Juyo, which would be perfectly usable with out it, and personally, I want the pure Juyo to fill it with my own training, as per Jensaraai's assessment.
@@Cyclonus5 From what i can tell, form 6 wouldn't be the one that's impossible for us to grasp. Despite the obvious heavy reliance on Force powers, it's more of a result of practical need during battle than of an inherent principle in the form itself. Essentially speaking, form 6 is the form that tells the user to use everything at their disposal to their advantage in a fight, which i'd say, would include even blasters if the jedi in question ain't opposed to it. Force use becomes integral to the form in a practical manner due pretty much only to the fact that the other tool that's most readily available to a jedi other than their lightsabers, is their Force powers. While highly unlikely, it's entirely possible for a Niman practitioner to not use Force powers in a fight at all, if they don't see the need to or they just get creative enough with the blade techniques.
As for form 7, there's a reason why study of form 7, whichever variant it may be, is expressively forbidden in the order. Vaapad is the only variant that requires the loop because the intensity of the aggression feedback or lack thereof, is the only thing keeping the user in check, preventing the user from having direct, unchecked access to their own dark side. Mace Windu uses the loop as his way of holding back, instead of a way make himself unstoppable. Juyo doesn't work like that not due to it having no Force alignment requirement, but due to it being inherently a dark side form that wouldn't work at all without accessing the dark side to the user's fullest extent. It's the reason why Juyo is so common among darksiders.
The Jensaarai are free to use said dark side form only because their Force training is incredibly lacking in the first place, making even the full extent of their expression of whatever dark side powers they could muster, far from being powerful enough to corrupt them. Unlike the jedi, these are the kind of people, who, while definitely not evil, bloodthirsty jerks, are still the kind that have no problems cutting off heads & killing at the blink of an eye after all.
@@FalconWindblader First off, I 100% agree with your assessment of Form VI, and I feel the only reason Force powers were emphasized was because it was predominantly the Form of Consulars, who had an emphasis on Force powers anyway. I'd even hypothesize that origionally, the Form had a "create your own move" aspect and pushing slash and draw closer just became the most common because they played to the strengths of most practioners. I would, however, add that in theory, Blasters could also be favored weapons if Form I specialists, as the simplicity of the Form lends itself well to alternative weapons, the light whip for example.
Speaking of Form I, I disagree that Juyo is inherently a Darkside method, though I would agree if you asserted the supposed Sith origin. The issue is more the internal pressures that border on explosion is often just too much for the unprepared and thusbit needs to be restricted for the safety of practitioners due to the rigors invovled. The Emotional Heat in the advanced stages of Form I is accepted as making the Form just as dangerous as Form VII, but it isn't restricted. Thus, its not the emotions themselves, it's the intensity of the control required. In February, I did prepatory meditation work by meditating on Ferocity once a day for the month, and I wont lie, I was glad I did it during the shortest month. It was difficult, to the point where my sparring partner said "its unreasonable to ask anyone to go through that." And it was definitely a Humbling experience, which helped me realize how much farther I have to go to be ready for it, but I can also easily see why others would break or quit because of it.
Also, I meant the Jensaraai1 channel, and I'm sorry for the confusion, but your over all assessment of the Jensaraai order is correct.
I'm a bit of a coward so it's Form 3 for me, being on the defensive most of the time until it's safe to attack, but I think Form 6 is the coolest. From what I heard about the form from Generation Tech, true masters of the form wielding two Lightsabers like Palpatine in his Duel with Maul and Savage, can completely control the pace of the fight and dictate how it goes, so that is awesome and the perfect form for a master manipulator.
Also if I had to pick I would use mounted combat combined with more force abilities. Imagine being able to make an arc around an opponent on your mount and leave your Saber or a knife on the ground as you passed. Using force abilities to keep their eyes in you as you pull the blade through their back
A mandalorian jedi or just a jedi with access to a jetpack would probably benefit from learning that flying technique, I'd also learn that on and off technique
I love that game of thrones tower of joy with ligsabers
I’d study Form VI Niman and elevate it to the same degree as Exar Kun and Darth Krayt
Personally, I believe I would use Niiman supplemented with either Form IV or Form VII. Niiman from my perspective is the most adaptable and in KOTOR the one that encourages using the Force middle of the Saber duel to send your opponent flying.
I would prefer Form Vll Juyo/Vaapad.
Deadly.Precise.Ferocious.Unpredictable.
During my time practicing, I focused mainly on forms II, III, & V.
Darth Zannah style left handed soresu with a double bladed lightsaber and a blaster in my right hand to shoot people when I'm blocking their lightsaber or across the battlefield if they're engaged with someone else.
Given that my personal lightsaber is double bladed I’d probably use a Jarr Kai variant of Soresu, creating an impenetrable wall of defense around me. I might also incorporate Ataru footwork into my battle style to aid with mobility on a battlefield.
All the tests I’ve took for what form is suits me and it’s overwhelmingly form 4
Makashi for sure with some Soresu mixed in.
If I were a jedi or sith I would use the lightsaber form II
Good luck suffering the same fate as dooku if you meet a master or djem so or form 7 variations but then again like dooku you can still supplement other forms to compensate for the weaknesses of the form like the lack of strength.
Defiantly form 5
I generally like more brute force tactics in games and a more simple approach in life
“Is it possible to learn this power?”
Love vaapad, but that’s mainly due to mace windu
* Lightsaber Forms exist *
Sequels: * Wildly hack at each other *
I would love to see an animation of a Hutt Jedi using form 4 like yoda
Form 2 Makashi for sure!
If I could I would go the Traya route and telekinetically wield 3 lightsabers at once. If not I would go with Niman with a focus on Makashi and incorporate Ataru just for movement.
Oofta. First, I wouldn’t use a lightsaber, but an extra shiny vibrosword that’ll be capable of blocking & deflecting blaster bolts AND it’ll have a cortosis coat to combat lightsabers as well (basically, a metal sword that rivals lightsabers). As a vibrosword, it’ll of course cut steel beams much like a lightsaber WITHOUT melting the steel beam, but there is a sort of sensor switch that also controls & regulates the vibrations based on what materials it’ll come in contact with; its primary purpose is to mislead any & all opponents & such…
Cad Bane never learned lightsaber forms, and yet he did pretty good against Vos and Kenobi
That was a garbage episode. EU Vos wouldn't be fooled as badly.
Probably form seven if any. Personal favorit.
Personally, I favor the first and second forms (shii-cho and makashi).
I prefer using a dual blade or two sabers so I would go with Shii-Cho, Shien, Juyo/Vaapad and Jar'Kai.
Great but can you make a video about lightsaber color. I mean what is purple lightsaber or a yellow one? And how are they coloured? And why? Also who favoured which colour?
Other lightsaber techniques: "disarm people"
Trisp-Zest:
Aim for the head
Makashi , Defently !
Meanwhile on mustafar, anakin and obiwan... "I'll try spinning that's a neat trick"
You missed the Three Rings of Defense, developed during the early days of Luke's new Jedi Academy
probably would try to master them all, eventualy becoming a jedi battlemaster, imagine the the sheer ability to switch between all forms without thinking to outmanouver your opponent...
They need to talk about forms more in cannon ! I just read Jedi lost and I don’t think forms were even mentioned smh
Could you do an extensive video on the organic Separatist commanders? I noticed on your video on Devaronians that you used a picture of Kleeve. It'd be appreciated to see his story mentioned.
I'd like the high ground with a double saber like Darth zannah
Love it
I just now realized that Kid Fisting is almost surely George Lucas's search history making its way into the Star Wars scripts.
One love ❤️
HAHA! I *do* know all of these!!.... mostly because I’ve watched Jensasrai1’s collection of videos where he individually breaks down all the forms.
Hmm, I think a Jar'Kai/ Shii-Cho/ Niman combination would be incredibly tough to beat. Balanced between weapon attack, defence and Force use, simple, therefore no flashy moves to leave yourself open, with multiple angles of attack and defence to choose from having a blade in each appendage on top of all that. That blend of styles could also probably age quite well with the duelist's capabilities without needing too much reworking
Except you’re still vulnerable to power attacks. Because you have reduced strength, you’d still have a disadvantage when facing a Djem So specialist. And even more so, Shii-Cho’s movement is simple but not conservative like Soresu is.
@@Cody_L._Brock you're right, there are still vulnerabilities. A duelist with this kind of styling wouldn't be using and depending on their physicality maybe even wouldn't be capable of using the huge power attacks a Djem So specialist would but with Niman being designed as an "all rounder" type of style which takes elements from all the other styles you would definitely have both conservative defensive options and some more explosive power attacks of your own to use. That would be the foundation of the style with some extra moves from Shii-Cho on top due to those moves being simple and easy to use without overcomplicating things for a Padawan starting out.
Thinking some more about it, if you could blend the aggression of Djem So or Juyo with Soresu's defensive abilities then that would probably give you the true ideal balance between attack and defence Niman tries for but I think the different philosophies and training behind those styles would confuse a younger duelist and cause a possibly fatal mistake, which is why I would blend those less specialist styles when starting out and add in the extra blade (or blades depending on species) later once the foundations were laid in Niman and Shii-Cho. That extra blade is what would allow for extra options that would hopefully be able to counter someone who has specialised in one style exclusively. At least until a Skywalker turned up ;)
If vapaad is so aggressive, wouldn't it be a bad idea having a practitioner of it being one of your highest ranking leaders? What if Mace had become dark side? Would the other Jedi just strike him down? How much damage could Fallen Mace do?
Question for a future video:
Were there any ships in Legends or current canon which acted like 'submarines'- difficult to detect, invisible from open space but different from cloaked, and predominantly existing for recon but capable of warfare combat?
I have this concept of ships attacking from within Hyperspace to ships/planets/space stations not in it and I wonder if it is even possible in lore, let alone if it was ever described.
Due to the Sith tend to constantly violated the rules all the times in order to gain more powers, why Darth Bane decided to stick with the Sith tradition instead of trying to reform it like the Brotherhood of Darkness? Doesn't he know that if tradition does nothing but holding the Sith back, it should be reformed for the better function of the Sith organization.
Because the rule of two was what made for the best function of the Sith. Bane created it for a reason.
That's where you're wrong. Darth Bane was the one who broke tradition instead of sticking to it. He eschewed formations of large darksider organizations because unlike his predecessors, he knew all too well that the nature of the dark side is excessively individualistic & megalomaniac. ANY large organizations of darksiders would eventually collapse due to either to unchecked ambition drawing too much attention, or infighting due to unbridled craving for personal power. Keeping the organization small is the only way to keep those tendencies tempered.
If I used a single blade, I'd use form V but since I'd be a dual wielder then I'd use a Jar'Kai variant of djem so

My friend went blind in 6th grade. He decided to take self defense classes. He is also a starwars nerd. I might not be a ninja. But I can see and am almost 2x his size with longer reach. And let me say form 3 is a pain in the ass to get a hit in through. And yes he knows all 7. He is a blind man, who uses a titanium steel cane as a lightsaber with speed and agility
The Senate has perfected every single one of these techniques.
Wow, I always thought Ahsoka was an Ataru practitioner
Am thinking form 3, creating a stonewall defence in the hope of frustratiing & tiring the opponent
Unrelated but can you guys make a video on one of the most powerful force users, that's rarely talked about? That is Vaylin, I swear vaylin can only be rivaled by the likes of Anakin, Yoda, Tenebrae, Bane and Sidious. Vaylin was so powerful in the force that she moved objects not just as a baby BUT IN THE WOMB OF HER MOTHER. The only thing even comparable to that is anakin's virgin birth.
