Yellow or Red?

I was wondering lately, if 2 guys with the exact same skill, but one has that skill in yellow style and the other one in red style, would fight eachother.. who would win? In other words is red style or yellow style the better one?
What do you think and maybe even why??

In an equal skill environment, id say yellow.

Altho I absolutely detest yellow, its a pain in da butt for a red stancer. Guess I should get some more practice with yellow.

Not at all Masta, Im quite good at dying ^^
As a response to Ian, anyone can be beaten, so even the REALLY hard red users can be beaten by my yellow. It just takes like 100 tries sometimes :P
Anyways, it works the other way around too; theres not a redder (or any stance-user for that matter) that doesnt stand a fair chance against me; anyone can kill me.
Furthermore, it all depends on which person is more effective in a particular duel. That will variate from duel to duel (think of making a lot of mistakes, or hardly any at all). Every time I step into a duel, its a new challenge for me to stay alive, or maybe finally beat a redder I cant seem to counter.

Heh, hers another counter-argument for my theory: Red isnt yellow, they may make the same AMOUNT of mistakes, that doesnt mean those mistakes are the same :) A mistake with Red stance may take longer 2 correct, for example. ^^ In that sense Red Stance and Yellow Stance are equel :)

EDIT: reading this back, I think Ive just said about the same as Sol did b4 LOL!

thats true, but if you make a mistake, a yellow user is faster and is more likely to hit you in the gap you leave. i.e. a yellow user is more likely to punish you for your mistakes. unless the red user is goooood

Lol, here's another crazy thought of mine:

It takes a red stancer less hits 2 kill his opponent than a yellowstancer.

Now, 2 people of the same skill, make the same amount of mistakes. They also take advantage from those mistakes at the same amount. So red wins. :)

Lol, Im afraid that's an ok theory... in theory :P Im not sure wether it worx that way in real duels ;)

if a clone of one guy fights the original, I'd go with yellow. But that's only because yellow knows what's going to happen next. If two different people with the same skill fought, I'd go with red. I don't care how slow or "predicatable" red is, any master can outsmart the odds :p

Yellow wins :)

I've tried lots of things in JK2 and in pure nf duels yellow stancers are nasty opponents ;)

Red is too slow and predictable

... These are my two cents... :)

saber-clash-countering or parrying is the best bet to hit a red stancer. finding open gaps in an experienced players moves is very very hard, and hardly possible.

therefore, RED.

Hmmm... funny, the very same question crossed my mind lately. My vote goes to yellow though, for the following reason:

A yellowstancer can attack a redstancer and get away fast enough, before he can be countered... I think :)
However, a Red stancer may always find himself beeing countered, because he has open gaps...

Maybe Im over-simplifying things here, but I think the main question is: Can a red stancer perfectly close his gaps?

In my humbla opinion, and little experience, I think he's not... so a yellowstancer always has an opoortunity to get a hit in at a redstancer's gaps.

In actual duels, though, it's very hard to beat a brilliant Redstancer with yellow and it's also very hard to beat a brilliant yellowstancer with red. Both arent perfect, both players make mistakes, so the chances are about equal I'd say. In theory however, I believe the yellowstancer may just come out as the victor.

Neither, I'd come in and declare Lando time. No one would be fighting after that.

Red suits my tastes better, and equal skill doesn't matter so much as which tactics are employed.

There are ways to beat both, of course. :D

Either style could win the red style requires less hits to defeat your opponent whereas da yellow requires more but they both have their advantages and disadvantages.

While Yellow does not do the same damage as Red, it is far more mobile than Red. With Yellow, a Left-to-Right, or Right-to-Left will score both hits before one Red swing can recover, as far as I can tell. Mind you a Red 3 swing combo into the Red DFA, KICKS ASS!!! :D
