Joetheeskimo Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 What is your favorite lightsaber style? I enjoy using fast, because it maneuvarable and effective. It's very good against strong, because strong is so slow and fast is so fast

It's very good against strong, because strong is so slow and fast is so fast I think light stance is very effective at getting you killed when used against red. Lunge is useful though, when not overused. I just use red and yellow.
Joetheeskimo Posted June 1, 2003 Author Posted June 1, 2003 well if youjump and roll out of the way a lot, strong is useless and fast is best.

Try me. server: embrace.ath.cx Its FFA and saber off != peace so if you start getting killed when you get there, well, dont complain. I play as Averron.
orb360 Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 Red Owns J00... My strategy when fighting a person using any saber style... stay back, start swing, dart in and hit them, scoot back out of the way this way I don't have to worry about them hitting me until I go in for the kill, I usually only have to hit the other person 2-3 times... easily dispatched (no force powers used) Speed is helpful, so is absorb...
merlinova Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 Start off with red, switch to blue, and don't forget to do a few yellow butterflies somewhere in the mix... They are all effective when used in conjuction with one another. Being good with all three helps when you want others to second-guess what you're going to do next...
Khier Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 Defeating red is simple when you've got the distancing, just keep within as close to the swing without touching then start moving in and swinging with blue, it takes practice to get that distancing, but considering 90 % of the JK2 population uses red all the time or a majority of the time, practicing shouldn't be a problem, and once you get it down you'll be unstoppable . I usually use all three stances at infrequent intervals though to keep my opponent on his/her toes.
Antilles_CL Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 I use blue as it is quick and effective. Although it takes while to wither fown my enemies, I can do it efficently with combos of the blue stance.
Joetheeskimo Posted June 1, 2003 Author Posted June 1, 2003 So most people agree with me about fast...well I still like using strong against powerful enemies that won't be slain by quick, light grazes...and Medium can always come in useful
Wanderer Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 Fast is quite nice...the lunge is very deadly. I like it best to face a single oponent. Red style is very strong...best to slash into a croud of people
Tosh_UK Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 Blue as all i need it for is stop some one shooting me as i grab the flag and scoot.... to kill well easy Yellow and BS
Prime Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 I use them all pretty equally, depending on the situation.
|GG|Carl Posted June 6, 2003 Posted June 6, 2003 Red is best vs. other guys with sabers Blue is best vs. guys with guns Yellow is most fun
Joetheeskimo Posted June 6, 2003 Author Posted June 6, 2003 Thnx again for voting guys...and cool sig SamFisher!
Dantes_Inferno Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Yellow is so nice all around its what i always use except for deflection or when i get knocked down but since i usually play ffa with guns snipe1: I just play with yellow and blue!
Hyperglide Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 I use alll 3 colored lightsabre stances in various situations although red is the one I prefer the most. The 3 stances all have their pro's and con's it's like a game of rock paper scissors with the 3. One color beats another and each color has strength's and weaknesses. But I love the red lunge so that's why I prefer red the most. Blue DFA is fun too though hehe.
lllKyNeSlll Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 I have only 2 months ago started playing nf sabers, but from playing with some of the best nf saberists that i knew from ff, I have gained some insight into stances. For 1v1 nf, light and med are the best. Light and med because with light, you can move around using strafe (left-right) swings whicih damage alot especially against red. also the ducking version of this you can strafe swing twice and end up in a lunge which can do up to 90 damage (15 each for strafe and 60 for lunge). Also, red strafe swings won't hit you if you are ducked. I know many players who only run around strafing with yellow and when you use red swings they come in swing twice or so and run back out so pretty much they don't get hurt. For ffa red is by far the best, it damages the most and has the most range so it really gets kills. But since i play ff mainly, i don't use my saber much except lunge so i mainly use only light.
boinga1 Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 I like yellow (mainly because of all the time you spend with it in SP), but it's usually not strong enough to beat aside red defences, and plus it lacks the "uber" blue and red lunges (which can be performed at will, regardless of proximity to the opposition).
Rad Blackrose Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 When it comes to styles, I'm an enigma, and I plan on staying that way. Ask anyone that used play on Hermes' Place (unless it is still running and I don't know about it). Know all 3 styles, know when to use them, combine them with evasion and deception = the win.
HertogJan Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 I think there's an option missing in the poll: all of em As some other ppl here, I think you should learn to use 'em all!! It may confuse some people, but your opponents too! I like to do an occasional red swing, some yellow slashes and the yellow finisher and some quick blue slashes when my opponent is slow, followed by a lunge. For duels, that is. For FFA: don't use your saber... And NF Sabers FFA is boring, everyone running after each other in a huge level
Guardian Omega Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 I use em all! Blue is my favorite though, nothing like looking like a noob and taking them all out!
SD_ReBoRN__ Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 I use a lot of red in my FF Sabers and all three in NF. Ocassionally in FF I will use yellow/blue and catch my opponet with his pants down
