Belgirion Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Hey guys, I was just wondering if someone throws their saber at you, will you be able to deflect it with force push like you can with rockets? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaberPro Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Probably not...cuz it's too fast...but you see in the trailer if you are on a defensive stance, you block the incoming saber.... i was thinking, can you Force Pull someone's saber? and have DOUBLE SABER FIGHT?! That'd be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Yeah, it's been said that you can indeed Force push a saber that's being thrown at you, so it'll fall on the floor, and thus the owner is defenceless untill her retrieves it or gets out another weapon. (must suck in a sabers only match though lol) And nah, double sabers vs. no saber is just unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothingMan Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 It only falls to the floor? Darn, I was hoping I could send it back to them . And they wouldn't be defenceless, that's what Force Pull is for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, say i can Force Push the saber back, and the saber falls to the ground. 1 saber vs. no weapon = unfair? Another thing, you can Force Pull every weapons EXCEPT saber?

Belgirion Posted March 16, 2002 Author Share Posted March 16, 2002 its not that fast...if you have good reflexes you could probably do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaberPro Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Oh what I meant is when you are playing MP...lotsa people are fighting and all the sudden a saber was thrown at you....much like the newest trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Well personally I'd probably Force jump for it lol, and then I'd be feeling evil I'd push the saber onto the floor from above lol. But then again if I see the throw coming from a mile away I could just push it or simply block it. (hmm.. I wonder what'll happen if a saber falls over the edge of a cliff or something like that. Would the saber re-appear near the user or will the poor Jedi be without his saber untill he dies and respawns.. or will he just get a new one like in MotS if you didn't bother to retriever your saber. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 LOL, Pedro. I think it'd best work if the player has to respawn to get his/her saber back. Good reason to hesitate about throwing your saber. Otherwise no one would actually be doing any dueling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaberPro Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Good point Some lamer probably Force Push your saber down a cliff or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Man... if someone threw a saber at me I'd Force Push it away, double-flip w/ a Force Jump over the opponent's head, land right in front of the opponent's saber and guard it. "You want it? Come get it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Well all he would need to do is either Force Pull it to himself or Force Push you out of the way ^_^" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You want it? Come get it." You're standing inbetween him and his saber Simple (provided im thiknig about what a REAL jedi can do, dont know if the game can ) Use the force to pull the saber towards him, igniting it in mid air, tip towards your back, it goes STRAIGHT THROUGH you, back to his hands you die Now, i guess that wont be possible in the game, but a real jedi could do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Stantz Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 If you ever do decide to try and pull your saber to you after that, just hope that the pulling people towards you thing doesnt work in mp. Or would you rather pull the guy with the Saber closer to you instead of getting yours back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Well even making that mistake is solvable if you're fast enough, you can then force jump over him, and then make a run for your saber,or even force pulling it towards you while running at it so you have your saber about a second sooner or so. (and in a DM even a few split seconds can make the difference ^_^") but hey, just as long as you're inventive you can solve most problems. Just use the Force as your ally.

Guest Obi Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 It appears to me, after viewing the trailers, that Kyle uses the force on whatever is most directly under his crosshair. The crosshair is very small making it also very precise. It will have to be precise in order to differentiate between pulling people and the gun in their hand. In the heat of battle, it'll likely require some degree of skill to pull a weapon from a mobile opponent. Another funny thing is that it said on the zone page that pull counters push attacks and push counters pull attacks. So when you hit the pull and push buttons does it exert a constant force toward or away from you? I can't think how anyone would have reflexes fast enough to push at someone before they could pull you toward them unless the process built over an amount of time. For instance when the player presses and holds force pull exerting a contant pulling force on his opponent, the victim will be pulled toward him quickly but not instantly. Then, if said victim were to press and hold force push key, exerting a constant pushing force on and aiming it at his attacker, it would equal out the attacking pull force rendering it useless. This is the only way I can see that working, and it would actually be quite cool in my opinion. Maybe with push, Kyle just pushes everything in front of him forward. So if a lightsaber was within his push arc, it would definitely be possible to push it out of the way without having to target it with the crosshair.

OmegaRad Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Think about it this way chumps, If your dumb enugh to throw your saber at some1 with defencesive stance up.. you deserve to have your saber on the ground... biach! Omega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zek Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 From what I've heard, many force powers upgrade to work in an arc rather than single target at later levels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wibble Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 jump over the flying sabre and run right into the git who threw it, since he would be temp defenseless you could afford to get real close and force push the bloke over a cliff or something. Unless the force push dont send other players far, or move them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRelish Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Here is another idea. In a force game people can just force pull the saber back (rather cool i think, very much like the movies). Then again, in a no force game they would have to prolly run over it or something, which sucks. But say you lost your saber, in a force server. Then your opponent loses his. Would you be able to capture his and fight with it? Like in the end of ep 1 when obi uses qui's? I think that'd be cool. I also think, just a suggestion, in a 1v1 game, i'd be cool if you start next to eachother, and you have to grab a saber before you fight. I'm all into seeing someone grab a saber, strike, just to be barely blocked by a saber that was just force pulled. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
