Only Eight Saber Moves?

Recommended Posts

There are 8 standard (directional) saber moves per style (for a total of 24), plus 2 special attacks per style, and a good deal of acrobatic moves. There are approximately 300 individual lightsaber animations (if you include all the transitions - each attack can transition smoothly to any other attack) totalling around 3500 frames of animation, just for the lightsaber...

Heaven, I'm in heaven

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Wait a second ChangKhan, are you trying to tell me you can make up your own combos with around a selection of 30 different moves?

 

I have always wanted to make up my own combos in games, but it was never included in any game I can think of.

 

So, Raven answers another one of my prayers.:D

Let's see, you can toggle between the three stances (defensive, normal, aggressive), so there is at least one key for that. Add to that 10 total attacks a style, plus a bunch of acrobatic moves. I think we're gonna need bigger keyboards!

In my config, I can do every saber move and acrobatic with my standard setup: 4 movement keys (forward, back, left, right), jump, crouch and the mouse (3 buttons: primary attack, secondary attack, saber style cycle - which you only have to tap once to cycle your saber style)...

mmmm...just think of what one cd do with a five button mouse...

 

wsad-forward, back, left, right

shift-crouch

ctrl-activate

left-click -- fire

wheel-click -- secondary

right-click -- jump

furthest left-click -- toggle saber on/off(or take out saber)

furthest right-click -- toggle stance

Lucky me, I got a five button mouse! Sounds like all this dancing around with the lightsaber will make Max Payne's bullet time dodging look like ballet in comparison.

Saber control will be tied to a combination of mouse movement and direction keys

 

Has anyone else realized this sounds very much like the GLYPH system that was supposed to be in the PC version of Obi Wan?

 

With that said, you must think of the "Styles" like that of a real life sword fight. There are different styles of fighting, different techniques. In JKII there are 8 different moves for each fighting style plus 2 special moves per style. and from what I have read there are 3 styles, making it a total of 30 moves.

Yeah, it would be pretty cool to watch these epic acrobatic duels in slow motion. Max Payne would really suck in comparison.

 

Depending ont the quality of your computer, you may end up watching those lightsaber duels in "slow motion".
