HaruGlory89 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Most Jedi use both hands to fight. But in the Attack of the Clones book. It states that Count Dooku uses the fencing way to fight which is more effective at blocking lightsaber attacks. The fencing way uses only 1 hand. This could be a new style!

StormHammer Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Well, he uses single-handed fighting in the film as well, not just the book - largely because Christopher Lee can actually fence properly. He's one of a dying breed of actors who learned the art of fencing... I remember he played the bad guy in The Three Musketeers...among others. I agree that it would be great to see that style in the game. The more variety the better, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 That would be great, but would have to be reserved for the experienced jedi, probably the last stance you learn in the game (assuming JA will handle this like JO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himmler1 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Sounds like a good idea I say more stances more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdude201 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 In jk2 you could use single handed saber moves with the jedi moves mod but it went over you blue and red stance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3rr0r Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 i just hope it'd be better than the desann and tavion stances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 In jediPLUS, and other MP mods, there is are two 1 handed stances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blademaster_109 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 i doubt it because in jo u used to and had to stop fight when u used the force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Originally posted by Blademaster_109 i doubt it because in jo u used to and had to stop fight when u used the force. Yes, but that's just a matter of programming. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to enable people to use the Force while swinging the saber single-handed - if they really wanted to allow it. It might mean tweaking some of the animation, but I'm sure it could be done. The question is whether or not the devs want to introduce this kind of thing - and how it might impact performance in MP.

Sam Fisher Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 That would be cool if they put several more stances for the seperate kinds of sabers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solbe M'ko Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 It would be awesome if when you make your character, you could choose his style. Saber stances, kung fu moves, all that would progress according to the style you pick. I know that there are a few descriptions of lightsaber styles and martial arts in some of the books, so that would be totally possible, unlikely though.

IF THEY PUT KUNGFU IN A STARWARS GAME IM GOING TO KILL EVERYONE RESPONSIBLE!! INCLUDING WOMEN AND CHILDREN!! AND MENTALLY DISABLED PEOPLE TOO!!! Oops, kinda got a bit too carried away there, but it IS my opinion; martial arts would ruin the game!! If you want kung fu, play enter the matrix But yeah, it WOULD be nice to have different styles you can pick when creating your character, but they would have to add lots of styles then, which probably won't happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solbe M'ko Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Well I don't mean "crane stance", "forest tiger" (Revenge of the 5 Deadly Venoms, anyone?). I mean like "rancor rising" and stuff, not "kung-fu" but Maul style moves like hitting the guy with the saber hilt. In JO you can jump on them, Mario style, and knock them down, I think it would be better to actually kick their ass. Of course it wouldn't be required that you choose a style with martial arts. But that won't happen anyway, so why do I care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Payne Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 If you don't want kung fu its OK, but lets put in Teras Kasi. Fencing and martial arts, the closest to real life the better the game turns to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solbe M'ko Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Yeah, okay, Teras Kasi. You should have different kicks, jumps, saber moves depending on your style. It would be cool! Maybe for JK4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaruGlory89 Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 Speaking of which, I wonder how the controls all come together. I mean you have an almost unlimited set of moves! You can stike with one hand and defend with the other, stab the guy behind you and force push at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarteX Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 because Christopher Lee can actually fence properly. He's one of a dying breed of actors who learned the art of fencing... Actually, Cristopher Lee didnt fight, a stand-in did. If u dont believe me, check the Interviews on the Episode 2 DvD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinga1 Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 There was a stand-in for MOST of the yoda fight...which was NOT fencing. However, in the Obi and Ani fights, I see no reason Lee didn't do a lot of the fighting. Besides, how does that fact change the earlier statement.

Six of One Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Also note that Dooku wasn't the only one to use one hand: Vader did so when he was fighting Luke in EP5. I think it would be great to be able to use one hand, in addition it would be sweet to be able to choose which hand to use. -Half a dozen of Another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 It doesn't make sense for him to have a swept hilt and fight with one hand... you need two hands for it to be worthful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solbe M'ko Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 I for one am really disappointed in the animations for the lightstaff. In TPM, Maul just kind of poked and blocked, stabbing moves. In the trailer there's all these swinging moves that look bad and will likely have a lot of clipping problems. MOO, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Yeah, and Maul also ended up in two... Didn't you hear? There aren't clipping problems anymore, on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HertogJan Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Hehe yeah the animations look just the same as in JO, so not much improvement there I think... But hell, I liked JO so I'll probably like JA too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
