I seen this Kensai play already, seems to me he's one HECK of a saberist, and I can bet quite a sum of money (or porbably a bacta can) that he would be an equal match to my friend.

 

I would like to duel him at least once if possible. But it seems with my VERY LIMITED connection that wont be possible.

 

heya send it to me too at over_burn@hotmail.com

In game, I say these things to remind myself not to deviate from The Way.

 

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Hi GreyJedi,

Miyamoto Mushashi did infact despatch over 60 people the amazing thing is that he put away his Katana at the age of 19 (it think it was) and only ever used a boken afterwards.

 

There is a story that on the way to a duel he whittled the spare oar in the boat that was ferrying him to the duelling grounds. When he arrived he jumped out of the boat and brained his apponent.

 

Have you read the Go Rin No Sho (book of 5 Rings? It is facinating and some of his art work is beutiful.

Um guys. Any of you actually watched the replay? He looks like a solid player, but I don't know what you're all freaking about. If it is the kill ratio, might have been the server had been up for a while on that map and he was the only one to stick around without leaving.

 

But watching him actually fight, I don't see anything spectacular there. In the demo we only see him kill 3 people. Two duels, one of which he got so low on health a sneeze would have killed him (3 health left). And then an open fight where he runs up to someone, does the kick move then strong stances them. This isn't ground-breaking stuff.

 

I'm not saying he's not a good player, just that I don't see any evidence that he's anything to be quivering in fear about. Jury's still out as far as I'm concerned.

To Barred -

 

The duel you described is perhaps one of his most famous ones. His use of the Bokken (wooden sword) is reknowned, and Miyamoto is known to have only lost one duel to a man, who he himself bested in single combat, but decided not to kill during an earlier fight. Miyamoto Mushashi is also the founder of the two-sword school of fighting.

 

I have read the Book of Five Rings in various translations.

 

I also practice Bokken work: Aiki-ken style to supplement my Aikido practice. It is a very difficult weapon to use properly.

Keep in mind with all the (likely by now) thousands of players of JK2, it will be hard to keep track of individuals, also considering they can use any name they want (including the same name).

 

However, you can use "playerwatch" to keep track of people. Qtracker has that feature outside the game too, nifty.

I agree with keill the demo only shows a competent player not a great one. maybe he is a good as you say but what I saw in the demo wasn't anything special. I've seen that same kick/heavy attack done numerous times. I also once saw a guy kill a full health opponent while he only had 5 health in a no force duel match.
