What's your duelling style like??

Yellowstance... personally my favourite! The basics are all the same, but in the end everyone develops their own special style. That goes for any other stance/weapon too. :)

So... how would you describe your overall style?

This was meant for JK3, but even after having been a member for 3-4 months or so, I still didnt understand in what forum goes what :P I hope Ive made some improvement since last year! lol :D

EDIT: Although, this topic could be about JK2 as well, so luckily, I didnt post anything that needs to be relocated. Thing is, I dont even have JK2 :P

Without getting too in depth (im too lazy atm to type some super long thing) its basicly just Red stance with a little yellow and the occasional blue swing. xD



EDIT: saw that this was in JK2 forum, and i dont even have that game installed... so was this ment for JK3? or am i just being an Idiot? (prolly second option, ask anyone i know >_> )

I love single saber duelling. :)

I use mostly red, catching the opponent with swings to either side, and then timing overhead swings when the jump or get reckless. I often run in and trade hit for it, attempting to make more damage. Occasionally a ydfa works if I've been duelling the person for a while, as a surprise.

I disagree.

a lunge leaves you vulnerable for another lunge, or a ydfa. if you arent extremely precautios at aiming the lunge, you possibly just turned yourself into a ydfa victim.

I particularly remember a certain duel with Jaina D'Kana, back in the days... ;)

yeah... about the toughest move to aim. Also the occasional lunge out of nowhere keeps them on their toes. ;)

There is a mod that gives you those, tarpman, but now it's used on only one server the last time I checked, and it's a pretty inactive server.

my style is quite variated, but mainly I focus on using yellow, with as few combos as possible, and throw in some red swings. I only use lunges in blue stance:)

How about being defensive/offensive, agrresive/passive??
How often do u fake, for exampel? Why? What other tricks and stuff do u use in duels? :)

yeah, Im after some hardcore intelligence :P

EDIT: Which is why I think I shud start :
Im more of a defensive than an offensive player, just because I suck at being offensive/agrresive. :)

I (try) not 2 fake much, just because it makes my fakes more believable I think. If I would swing 100 times, and 1 is a real attack, the chances Im attacking as soonas I swing is 1/100. If 1 out of 2 sdwings are attacks, the chance is 1/2. So if my opponent needs 2 guess wether Im attacking or not, faking at a low frequency is what I do to make my fakes more believable.

I know... faking/attacking isnt done randomly, but the theory is still true. I think :D ^^
