JediLurker Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Depends on how each of them handle. Like most non-button mashers, I ended up developing my own sort of syle in JO and whichever saber choice best suits it, I'll probably use. Most likely the single saber, but time will tell.

coupes. Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 well i'll probably go with the single saber, no fancy stuff. I think when you master the saber you can be very deadly, you do not need two of them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I'd have to play them first to be sure, but right now I'm leaning toward a single blade. That is, if I even bother with MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HertogJan Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I dunno yet, probably single saber, I don't really like the dual sabers, maybe the saber staff, but occasionally I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBell Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I would prefer to use the double in MP, but i would like to go old fashion on some AI with a single lightsaber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txa1265 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 In general I believe I agree with Prime, but ... Given that the game is ~2+ months away (optimistic Amazon UK delivery time assumed ) and we've seen only a single small, dark 'old build' video, which makes it hard to get any feel for the saber play, and which was entirely SP (which is all I really care about anyway) ... How can you begin to know which saber type / style / stance / favored combos / etc you will use. From the pre- JO info, I'd have assumed I'd use Yellow quite a bit. Instead, I switch between red and blue, favoring blue in both SP and MP (oops ... I'm 0wn3d now ). So ... I may think I'll stick with my single saber (blue, of course), play as human male, and use the same stances as before ... but I may be a female zabrak with saber staff (my assumed least fave) playing the dark side ... OK, that's not likely, but I'm not going to decide until ... well, at least until I get enough info on the game! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, when I said 'you', I didn't mean *you*, but rather the editorial 'you'. Not seeing you in the (most recent) 'age poll' in the Swamp, I'm not sure of how you fall on the 'old' scale compared to, say, myself and Stormhammer (sorry to bring you into this ) ... but stubbornness is an ageless phenomenon I am fairly certain that I will continue to play out my 'Light Kyle'/ObiWan character type - heck, it took me 5 years [/] to make it through JK on the dark side, and only because I was determined to, not because it was my preference. Guess I won't be getting an 'ugly face' in KOTOR I pray that there is not a disadvantage to staying single saber - after all, Dooku didn't do too badly for himself against Anakin.

When I just played JK again, I used the saber almost exclusively, despite being at a decided disadvantage. Same goes for JO - aside from being sniped by Rodians and needing to snipe them, I barely used anything but the saber. Light side, single saber.

txa1265 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Originally posted by Darth Murphy If they are good players then they will be able to. I'm decent, not great, not lousy. (and no, despite being very respectful, I have no h0n0r, am not l337, nor have I ever been kicked) I typically win rounds of Jedi Master, or am close to the top (when I can find a game ... the last one with more than two people I hit the 20 kill limit and the next person had 4), and do fairly well at FFA - mid pack, typically. Despite being a 20+ year 'pc gamer', I'm pretty new at online games, my first being bits of Elite Force, then some UT and Q3, bits of hurt from RtCW and MoHAA before finally spending a bit of time working at JKII. I also take care and pride in learning my skills - so I'll do my best to work on my single saber skills. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txa1265 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Originally posted by Z. [Fett] Im looking forward to fighting 2 guys at once with my lightstaff. Absolutely! I think that this is going to add quite a bit of excitement and variety to all kinds of game play. Power duels should be interesting, as well as FFA. See you in September Z. Fett ... I'll be the dead (human male with single saber) body to the left of the stairs [edit: I just noticed this was your first post, joining July 2003 - WELCOME!!!] Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I'm with single, i know my stuff already and will be a simple man who wears clothes and fights Still, i'm glad that most people think they will still use single. Alot of people probably won't but as long as the dual or double don't dominate i'll be fine with the balance. The staff sure looks like good fun though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legameboy Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 In singleplayer I'll probobly do lightsaberstaff, but in Multiplayer, I'm not sure or ever will be until the game comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Johnson Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I may not've registered this month but I never posted until now. For Jedi Academy, I might dig the lightstaff's abilities but would rather settle traditionally for the single saber, yellow (disagreement of Old Republic's ways or deals with power more-of) or purple-bladed (might get angry despite training, intentions might be pure but myself *probably* not)... The dual saber might be fancy, more twirling around fast and better defense probably, but like the lightstaff it probably would be harder mastering it. Though it might be just as hard mastering the art of fending off such force users using dual saber or lightstaff by using one lightsaber, I'd do it anyway. Qui-Gon Jinn did a nice job defensively fending off Maul's strikes as Maul retreated (I know Qui-Gon, if tempted and actually did, could've done better offensively... He learned from Dooku who took on Anakin who had two sabers), and Obi-Wan (who was taught swordsmanship probably by Qui-Gon, and was tempted to go offensively by Maul when he used his hilt to balance off Qui-Gon's feet and then to stab him with his lightstaff) kicked Maul's arse by splitting his lightstaff in half in anger offensively... So why not most other Jedi who's skilled enough? The lightstaff might be stylish since Exar Kun's day but I'd much rather prefer the traditional lightsaber. So I voted for the single lightsaber option. Expect me to use single lightsaber on JK2 mods too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
