Saber locks...

[Rassick]

What do you have to do to initiate a saber lock? I've never gotten in one in multiplay, and it happens so rarely in SP that it's practically a fluke.

[Lime-Light]

absolutely nothing you can do to cause one. Sometimes it happenes, sometimes it doesnt. I think it sucks anyway. I dont think insanely clicking is really in the spirit of a jedi duel.

 

Maybe thats why I always lose them......

Either both you and your opponent have to do the same swing at the same time and hit.

 

Or if ya swing, and your swing only goes like half way before ya hit the guy and he blocks, it'll probably lock.

Nope, you can do it like 10 times in a row if you like. A couple of my clan mates and I would have lock competitions in the Nar Shaddaa streets map lol. See who tires first then falls over a ledge.

 

All one guy has to do is switch to like med or heavy, do a forwards swing, walk into the guy while the other guy just walks into you. It doesn't work EVERY time, but it works like 80% of the time. It's fun.

 

-EDIT-

 

That works for sure in 1.02, which is what I use. I have no clue if this works in 1.03.

ur still using 1.02?? why?

if u hate 1.03 so much that u wont download it, just get it, and use the fanmod, that keeps everyone happy

Cause I HATE the new saber system. The crappy animations, the butchered med stance, the totally lame lowered damage that makes no sense at all, but on the other hand the 'poke' (backstab) move annihilates people uhh ok whatever. And I won't even start on the guns and the force.

 

1.03 reaks of bantha p00. I'd much rather play 1.02 since I have no complaints at all, after what 1.03 turned out to be like anyway hah.

 

And nothing personal, but the fanmod doesn't cut it for me either. 1.02 was fiiiiiiiiine, except for the DFA. Then one day *poof* all that goodness that once was, dissapeared.

 

I have REALLY strong opinions about JO. When it came out and I started playing it, it was like

 

OMG, this is THE Star Wars game

 

then 1.03 comes out, and it's

 

OMG, Im sorry this ever happened... bleh *goes back to 1.02*

To initiate a lock do you and your opponent have to be using the same stance?

[GE Predator]

Nope. He can be using any stance. Hell, so can you, but it's harder to get into locks on purpose with the fast stance.

[Lime-Light]

I think you have to both attack and connect in 1.03. You cant really do it if you're actually trying to win the match.

[faithless]

one have to use a lighter stance than the other.

e.g. light+heavy, light+med, med+heavy.

 

that would cause a parry when the heavier stance swings onto the lighter stance. yes. a parry is a saber lock
