You scored as Form VII: Juyo/ Vaapaad. Dubbed the "Way of the Vornskr," Form VII was an incomplete form for millennia. It was further developed by Jedi Master Mace Windu, who could complete it with his, "Vaapaad" style. The most challenging and demanding of all forms, Form VII requires extreme, intense focus, high levels of skill, and mastery of other forms. Only two Jedi have ever mastered Form VII fully, Mace Windu and Depa Billaba. One other Jedi, Sora Bulq, mastered its physical aspects but was overwhelmed by the required mental discipline. Form VII, when fully mastered, results in extraordinary power. Form VII: Juyo/ Vaapaad 72% Form II: Makashi 53% Form III: Soresu 44% Form IV: Ataru 33% Form VI: Niman 33% Form V: Shien 31% |

Form V: Shien / Djem So 100% I really tend to fight in the Shien *V* style of fighting but evidently I'm at confilicting results in my mind and the quiz. The "Way of the Rancor," Form VI was the standard style at and around the time period of the Clone Wars and the Great Jedi Purge. This combat discipline is often called the "Diplomat's Form." In fact, all of the Jedi using Form VI were killed at the Battle of Geonosis. Form VI attempts to balance all elements of lightsaber combat, combining the Forms that came before into a less intensely demanding combat style. The result is that the users' skill in each individual area of lightsaber combat is only moderate. Form VI: Niman 92% Form V: Shien 75% Form III: Soresu 72% Form II: Makashi 72% Form VII: Juyo/ Vaapaad 67% Form IV: Ataru 67% _______________ Honor, still counts for something. Loyalty, is hard to come by. Integrity, is something to strive for. This comment was edited by LoneWolf_ Mintaka on Feb 15 2006 03:01pm. |

Got a tie breaker heh. You scored as Form III: Soresu. Form III, the ?Way of the Mynock," was inspired by the need to deflect Blaster bolts. It is very defensive; it has no aggressive qualities. Form III utilises motions occurring very close to the body to achieve a nearly total protection, efficiently expending as little energy as possible to execute those moves. This technique exposes as little body target zone open areas as is possible, making a well-trained practitioner nearly invincible. Testimony to this is the fact that Ben Kenobi, a Form III master, only falls when he chooses to let Darth Vader kill him. Form VII: Juyo/ Vaapaad 86% Form III: Soresu 86% Form IV: Ataru 83% Form II: Makashi 75% Form VI: Niman 58% Form V: Shien 39% Seems to go along with my in-game fighting style. Although not mentioned, a Soresu user will play defensively until the enemy reveals a "hole" for them. _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist This comment was edited by R2D2 on Feb 10 2006 11:17pm. |

Hmm, Aiddat's would be a combination of Form IV and Form V. EDIT: There's also the Star Wars Wiki, or Wookieepedia. It's focused on Star Wars so there'd be more Star Wars information there. _______________ -Aiddat, the Gran with the green blades.

Quote: My form would be Niman (VI) not much info on it in there really That's because form 6 isn't really a form. It's the description assigned to the style of those jedi who didn't intend to fight much but who learned the basics of several of the other forms just in case they found themselves in a rough spot. Sort of a "jack of all forms master of none" situation. I wouldn't recommend it. No "form 6" user who went to the fight on Geonosis returned except in a box. As for me, it's form 8 all the way. Run around everywhere til you catch your opponent in disadvantageous position like below you or up against a wall and then chop them into bits in a flash. Just ask Obiwan  . |
