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. |

You scored as Form VI: Niman 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 67% Form II: Makashi 64% Form VII: Juyo/ Vaapaad 56% Form III: Soresu 45% Form V: Shien 42% Form IV: Ataru 22% Interesting, thanks for the link Raziel Edit: Strange that it didn't have Shii-cho though, and i thought i'd be more Soresu than i proved to be ehe. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

Hmm, Aiddat's would be a combination of Form IV and Form V. EDIT: There's also the Star Wars Wiki, or Wookieepedia.

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  . |

niman is not a bad form it actually is good in all the forms but it is not great in all the forms... i guess a true master of niman would be great in everything and that would be the BEST of them all |

Having read it all i'll revise my post: While i would master Niman i would go on from there (having good knowledge of styles 1-3) to focus on either Juyo (Vaapad) or Shien. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?
