Yautja Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Ill be using light-medium, never heavy. after watching the giga4.avi clip, of the duel, the heavy stance is far too slow for my liking, i like it quick and slashy. so, what stance will u guys use?

Vision Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 I'm going for one that blocks well and lets you riposte good. Makes your opponents either say "DAANG how did you do that?!" or "Vision is cheating!" Hope theres a self-offense-esk move or two to the styles.

acdcfanbill Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 prob a combo of all of them, especially for SP where stuff happens slower... even with SBX3.1 the heavy figure 8 swing is still useful, so prob i'll use all of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBK Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 I will use light and heavy, mainly heavy. Yes I may take a hit or 2 from your little light stances;), but when I drop my heavy thunder, you WILL die. Did you see ChangKhans post earlier today? Heavy swings can possibly knock light defense away and still cause damage. When I find it I'll edit this and post it. HBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Econ Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Qui Gon uses the Heavy stance.. dont you want to be like Mike... Umm.. Qui .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necro Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 it depends on the enemy, if he's heavy i'll be medium because then, i block and then hit, or light not sure.... if hes light tho, i'd be medium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caster Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 I like a balanced set. Not medium per say, but rather switching back and forth between light and heavy stance during combat. This is an extra plus in multiplayer as well as it can confuse human opponents who get mixed up with what stance you're in. -Caster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRikerQ Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Qui Gon might use the heavy, but you see what happened to him at the end of Episode 1 hehe.. I'll use light thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbinger Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 I'll probably go with the medium stance. The best of both worlds. A heavy tries a swipe at me, I still have enough quickness to get away. A light tries a swipe at me, I still have enough defensively to take the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHerring Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 YOu guys DO realize that your stance does not affect how much health you have, if you get cut by a light swing then its still going to cause a fair chunk of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUS_Tomcat Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 I will use all of them... And not just, one fight with medium only, hell, I'll be switching during swings But i think when theres no saber wielding opponent but just stormies that ill mostly go with fast... as per Changkhan's recommendation... Quickly clearing a room of stormtroopers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHerring Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 I don't know how good I'll be with duels, but if I am, I'll try to match up with my opponents stance. That way, I can pull some manuevers and combos while the guy thinks I'm just a measily light. If I'm running around, though, I'll be using light for obvious reasons.

Scrobes Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 I suspect I will use light or medium. I do prefer speedy attacks. But I truly can't say until I have tried the game. But in multiplayer, I think it would be semi-suicide to use a stance that's not approprtiate based on what your opponent is using. You can't just say you'll use heavy or something, when that would increase chance of loss because of what your opponent uses against you. With an arena full of jedi using light or medium, are you really going to be the only one wielding heavy? Heh, thought you might say yes. Well okay.. but perhaps you see what I mean anyway.

TUS_Tomcat Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Scrobes if you play it right then you can beat all of those medium guys Also, i dont know if you guys watched the giga5.avi movie, the guy we see with the red saber continually uses heavy stance, he doesnt even switch so imagine the possibilities!

Kuluwen Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Like i said before in another post. Ill use a mix of medium-heavy. Never light because id rather now screwed when i try to block a heavy. The best pvpers u will see are the ones who can accuratly time and change stances in battle. Anybody sticking to just one will be smoked by the rest of us.

What if you turn a corner and u are face to face with a repeater. A medium or heavy stance will have a pretty tough time blocking all those shots. When traveling, I'll use light, but when a duel comes along, I'll acess the possibliites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRelish Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Me, personally, will use light. I know it can be easily knocked away and such, but if you have the speed to back it up (btw, luke uses medium from what i can tell from giga2.avi), light can be very good. A slow swing against me can be dodged and attacked from the side, thats why i like the fast strikes of light. I plan on changing to medium in some situations, or even going heavy while linking it to many mediums or lights. -Rel #insert inane personal motto here.

Indy4 Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 you will be able to choose? how? and how do you learn them? SEYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuluwen Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 In your Cornered example with a light stance a heavy would just tear you a new one right? If your cornered all u can do is block and blocking a heavy will be tuff.... I wanna take back what i said about never light cause i havnt played.... So it may rock.... ill use all 3 depending on the situtation.... and once i can time and change stances easy enough in multi then its time to kick some Azz.
