I really don't know which is the best, so here's a poll :) Right now I'm torn between Yellow and red. What do you guys think? I haven't seen many use blue, so this will be interesting. I'm expecting some kind of Red-Yellow-Blue Outcome.

There are a lot of ways to instakill someone with red (besides poking and the overhead+backflip). But hey they require you to move your mouse so i guess they dont count?

Oh and i think its very very cool if you kill your opponent in midair with red...which is extremly hard to pull off for everyone whos name isnt "Kain". >_>

Have you seen people do one hit kills with red? That's pretty damn cool. Ever seen a duel end with a well time delay slash? That's pretty damn cool. Ever seen an aerial overhand backflip that takes off 130 with one hit? That's pretty damn cool.

Don't say red's not cool if you're not a red user. We could be equally ignorant of duals and just say it's a hit and run style, but that's not the case.


EVERYONE does hit and run :D

one hit kills? only with overhead+backflip and thats a bug. most of other red one hit kills are mod bugs :) (JAR *rolls eyes*)

Well, red always has its delays to counter yellow. Many a time delays have won me the duel over yellow... :P

i use red almost all the time, cause it looks cool and i can wield it quite well, but i don't deny that yellow is far superior, due to it's balanced aspects.

however, someone more proficient with blue or red can still dice yellow users, depending on skills.

No, any person can get along just fine without using hybrids. There are many masters who I have seen who strictly use red or yellow only, and completely destroy hybrid users. Again, as Dash said, it's the fighter, not the style.

Maybe it just says a lot about my red ^^

Or maybe it just says a lot about JAR. Ill go for the latter since ive experienced yellow beeing vastly superior to blue on basejka servers.

Id personally prefer to use blue vs yellow instead of red. Blue is fast, and can be used to counter like yellow counters, red cant. For that reason, blue suits me better than red. Yellow feels easier, though, and Ill stick 2 that, but if i had 2 chose between red and/or blue vs yellow, id actually go for blue. Maybe it just says a lot about my red ^^

All I know is that I could never use blue, too unpredictable and hard to aim/control.

Heh, it wasnt very long ago I was trying 2 figure out which stance/weapon was the best. I was also in doubt between both yellow and red... untill I went to Leif's class. he had two groups fight each other 1 vs 1, one group used red pure, the other used yellow pure. It turned out both could hit each other, and beat each other, as well as dodge and defend against each other. Theres no "better" weapon/stance, it can all kill and be killed. In the end its all about tactics, it's not about what you use, its how you use it :) Blue is sometimes seen as a weak stance, well, it does deal little damage, but in the right hands, its as deadly as any stance. (Though i wonder how it's used vs staff/duals, but thats just me, and I expect theres a way ;))


yes i think Dash is right here its all about traning tactice and yousing the things you have lerned in combos and

Blue can do little damage, but very fast. Lots of quick hits result in big damage; therefore, Blue is also a great stance. :)

I tend to avoid using red, though I grudgingly admit it's my strongest style :(

There you got your answer.
You should ask something like "what stance do you prefer?" instead of "which is the best?" >_>

Hybrid of yellow and red is probably the best, but singularly, yellow is technically better than red, because it exploits red's weakness.

I prefer red, tho, by far.
