Redwing Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Will the lightsaber be able to block blaster blots while swinging? I mean, if a bolt hits the lightsaber blade, will it bounce off or just go through it like in JK? (because you're "attacking", so you can't block ) Anybody know?
ChangKhan Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Blaster shots will bounce off a saber's blade under any and all conditinos - even if you're attacking, throwing the saber or turning it on.
mariners2001 Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 So it's not like Jedi Knight in which you must not swing in order to block? If so, that's awesome! Seems it'll be a lot easier to block that way though. Any special conditions?
Redwing Posted January 27, 2002 Author Posted January 27, 2002 AWESOME!!! YAY!!! I can't tell you how relieved this makes me :D
SaberPro Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 wow that's cool...now you dont have to worry about a large group of stormtroopers
Sturmgewehr Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Right on. I was really hoping for this. Way to go Raven. You guys truly are great.

That's all contingent, of course, of the blade being in the path of the blaster bolt. Okay, ChangKhan, here's a question for you: could you describe how to execute one or two moves with the lightsaber?
acdcfanbill Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 what i wonder is will your stop its attack animation to block? not only for blasters, but for sabres... say your going in for a slash, but as you bring yours up, the other guy is bringing his down, will they both stop as you hold them together while they crackle for a bit? now that would be cool... it wouldnt be as cool in fast paced battles, but in slow calculating ones, it would defently be cool
Redwing Posted January 27, 2002 Author Posted January 27, 2002 Didn'tcha read the previews? They specifically mentioned sabers locking
SlowbieOne Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Wow, I can't believe this discussion was never brought up. Glad to hear it. Thanks for clearing that up so quick ChangKhan, I don't know what we'd do without ya.
CaptainRAVE Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Its nice to see ChangKhan[RAVEN] reading these fourms....... This should be added to the main news page!!! This is pretty cool though, so we will be able to block ourselves by moving in the way of blaster bolts
StephenG Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Originally posted by CaptainRAVE This is pretty cool though, so we will be able to block ourselves by moving in the way of blaster bolts just like obi-wan does in ep2 when his fighting the J.Fett guy in the rain.
wardz Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 ChangKhan, here's a question for you: could you describe how to execute one or two moves with the lightsaber? give them an inch, and they take a mile. I doubt he will be answering that, just be pleased he answered the original question. I wasn't expecting a reply... wardz

I'll do it in 12 hours. its 12:30. im going to bed. ill be up in 12 hours. either someone else will do it, or ill do it
JPMaximilian Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 I think that Raven is trying to make the Saber much more of an essential tool than it was in JK. I love it.
Rat Boy Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 The real question is: will the lightsaber make the Jedi unbeatable vs. non-jedi.
CaptainRAVE Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Not if you have a rocket launcher or something similar.......or sneak up and shoot them in the back.....cheeky I know, but what else can you do against a Jedi??
Rat Boy Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Wouldn't it stand to reason that a Jedi could use the Force to knock projectiles like bullets, arrows, and rockets out of the way, ala Neo from The Matrix?
Proto Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 In eII Obi-Wan duels with Yango Fett and i guess he looses...
JPMaximilian Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Jedi are suppost to be special and practically unbeatable by non-jedi. It doesn't work that well for balance in Mulitplayer but thats how SW is.
Spider AL Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 I know I'm gonna sound unoriginal and boring, but here goes: You want guns only? Quake!

Renzo Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 i'd like to know how many block animations there are. i assume there'll be more than 3, like JK.
