Backward block move?

[lonepadawan]

Will Kyle be able to block swings at his back with his lightsaber (Like obi-wan in ep1) It's a move I noticed missing from everysingle JK saber mod. Is it impossible?

[CaptainRAVE]

hmmm......interesting question. Well I hope he will be able to as most Jedi will be able to anyway. Which trailer did you see OBW do that block in??

[lonepadawan]

It was a typo, I meant ep1

[CaptainRAVE]

I know where you mean now. We have seen very little of Kyles moves. But one of them we have seen the lightsaber over his head....so maybe hes just blocked from behind.....remember, whenever the lightsaber is ignited, anything will bounce off it, not just when Kyle blocks

[dazilla]

Also I would love to be able to do that behind the back blocking move, as well as the flip and have lightsabers clash! That would be fun...u know basically the entire sequence after qui-gon died.

[acdcfanbill]

yea i have also been wondering about the behind block for a while, but i figgured that you had to be able to get hit sometime... otherwise the only place that anyone will be able to be cut is the back of their calves...

I really hope this feature is in the game... I think I'll be quite disappointed if it's not, although it definitely won't make-or-break the game for me - I just think that with all of the other saber moves JK2 is going to have, this one should certainly be in

[Millions o' Monkeys]

i dont believe its such a big feature, sure it would be cool if it was in the game but it wouldnt matter if it wasnt

[Wacky_Baccy]

Monkeys,

 

As I said, it definitely won't make-or-break the game for me, but I just think it'll be odd if they give us 24 attack moves, and not a single defensive one at all - and the backwards block would be the best defensive one to put in, because it's actually useful, with Kyle having no other rear defenses. (That, and the fact that forward-blocking is either automatic - for blaster shots - or innate in the attacking swing of your per-poly saber blade )

 

I won't really mind if it's not in, but to me at least, it makes a great deal of sense to include it

[JVS]

Hmm...if there flips in the game there should be this block. Otherwise it could be really hard to block attacks of your opponent, when he just jumped over you...wouldn´t it?

[acdcfanbill]

use your mouse to pull a 180 simple, see!!

[Pogwaffle]

But it wont look as COOL!!!

[nykel007]

I hope we'll be able to block while in the air. Saves time:D

[gamebooger]

or cut the guy in half in the air.

[Moses]

Remember when Darth Maul jumped off his speeder and he and Qui-Gon clashed sabers while he was still in the the air, upside down, in the middle of a 180? Yeah...that was cool.

Now we're talking about 2 types of blocking here: shot and saber. I think that if you're too stupid to have your back to an opponent, then you deserve to be slashed. On the other hand, i think there should be a behind-block for being shot at. I think read that all force powers, including block, have 3 levels. so maybe at the 3rd level, you have the ability to block behind you.

[dazilla]

For being shot, you should be facing you opponent anyway. But as for a lightsaber duel, it's easy for the enemy to get behind you, so a behind-the back block would be extremely helpful.
